Facade coloring - reliable protection of the building

Painting the facades of buildings is very responsible work, because the facade is the face of the building. The quality of the wall surface is affected by many negative factors. This is the atmospheric aggressive impact of the environment, and industrial pollution, and ultraviolet radiation, and high humidity (snow, rain), in addition, the effect of various biological factors (microorganisms, fungi, mold). To achieve a long service of the facade without loss of decorative qualities, it is necessary to produce a qualitative color.

First of all you should prepare materials for work. Despite the wide variety of different coatings and technologies, paintwork materials are becoming the most widely used in modern construction. Painting facades and plastering are the most popular ways of finishing surfaces. With the help of coloring, you can solve many problems associated with the state of the surface of the structure, in addition, this finish is the most economical.

The main surfaces that are to be painted are plaster and concrete. These coatings are distinguished by the presence of a porous capillary structure. So, through the pores of concrete easily penetrates moisture, as a result, the surface is more quickly destroyed. The facade coloring will avoid these problems and protect the building from destruction.

Starting the work, you should determine the compatibility of the painted surface with the paint, because the material of each facade requires a certain coating. Thus, first you need to determine the type of surface and analyze its state, and then select the paint.

So, for concrete it is required alkali-resistant and weather-resistant paint, for the wooden surface is better suitable elastic, non-flammable waterproof material, for the metal is important protection against corrosion and humidity. If the surface has already been painted, then you need to determine the composition of the old coating, because if the new paint is incompatible with the old surface, you can get an unpredictable result.

At the next stage, the painting of the facade of the house includes preparation of the surface for application of the paint and varnish coating. During such work, cleaning, strengthening impregnation, degreasing, final leveling, as well as priming to improve the adhesion of the paint and color leveling are carried out.

It is necessary to remember that only a qualitatively prepared surface will give a decent result. Longevity and appearance of the facade covering by 60 percent depend on the preparation of the surface, one third of the quality of the paint and 10% of the correctness of the work.

Painting facades includes work with various paints, which are divided into acrylic, silicate and silicone. The leading positions are occupied by acrylic coatings, which provide reliable protection and durability of the surfaces to be painted. Painting the facades using these materials will allow the building to breathe in the future, because the moisture inside can not penetrate, and from inside it will evaporate.
