Finishing putty "Starateli": types of products, features and characteristics

To improve the quality of the walls, at the final stage of finishing works, the finishing putty is used. It has a smooth texture, snow-white bright color with gloss and consists of the smallest particles. But this is only the material of the highest quality. That is the finish putty "Starateli". What is it different from similar materials?

Types of products

There are several types of putty mixes for finishing:

• "Finish Plus".
• "Finishing KR".
• Facade and finish.

Each of the materials has its own characteristics and advantages, as it is produced for finishing surfaces of different types. What are these differences and where is it best to use each type of finishing material? Read more about this.

Characteristics and properties

The main requirement, which is presented to the putty mixes of the finish type, is the highest adhesion. This is necessary to avoid the possibility of cracks and detachment of the decorative coating. Finishing putty "Starateli" not only has a high adhesion, but also has the following properties:

• Apply well with a spatula.
• The layer is even, tears, lumps and other defects are not seen.
• Does not drain, dries quickly.
• After drying, it retains its strength and integrity.
• Eliminates any flaws on the base cover.
• It is combined with many types of building materials.
• Has excellent quality and hygroscopicity.
• It is characterized by elasticity.
• Resistant to abrasion.

Other advantages of putty blends include simplicity and ease of preparation of the material for work, the ability to make a solution of any viscosity and density.

The weight of the bags, in which the putty filler "Starateli" is finished, is 20 kg. To dilute this amount of dry mix for work, it will take from 7.5 to 8.5 liters of water - the exact amount depends on the desired consistency of the solution. If you apply a putty thickness of 1 cm, then 1 square. M will take about 1 kg of material. Consequently, the bag is enough for finishing works on an area of 20 square meters. M.

Unfortunately, this material has its drawbacks. The most important of them is the need to quickly use the mixture. If you need to trim a large area of the base coat, you should either work a large team, or dilute a small amount of the solution, and after it is applied, prepare the next serving, which is not everyone's liking, because it will take time. In addition, when working it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions, only then it is possible to obtain a coating perfectly smooth.

"Finishing KR"

Finishing putty "Starter Finishing KR" on a polymer basis is produced. It is produced in packages weighing from 3 to 20 kg, so that everyone can purchase the amount of mixture that is needed to solve a particular problem. At one time, the finished putty "Starateli" should be completely used up. The price depends on the weight of the package:

• The capacity of 3 kg will cost 110 rubles.
• Packing for 12 kg costs about 250 rubles.
• At the weight of the bag, in which the putty putty "Starateli" is finished, 20 kg the price will be 350-380 rubles.

The prepared solution can be applied to one, two or more layers. But the next layer can be applied only when the previously applied one has dried completely. At 1 square. M is consumed from 0.5 to 2.5 kg (the amount of the mixture depends on the thickness of the layer). Before you start working, be sure to read the instructions to avoid mistakes.

Two types of polymer mixtures "KR" are produced:

• Acrylic. The application of the material allows creating smooth surfaces with a beautiful mirror effect. The material performs a dual function: protects the surfaces and decorates them simultaneously.
• Latex. Used only inside buildings. Despite the fact that the material can be applied very thinly, the composition has high astringent, ductile and strength properties.

Facade and finish

The mixture has an ideal composition, is intended for outdoor work, perfectly eliminates irregularities of any level of complexity. Finished surfaces withstand contrast weather changes. The prepared solution is suitable for use no more than three hours. The basis for the manufacture of facade products is a gypsum composition, the main characteristics of which are non-toxicity and safety. Can be combined with surfaces from wood, plasterboard and other materials.

Basic properties:

• High hardness.
• Weather resistance.
• Possibility of grinding.
• When shrinkage of structures does not depart from the base.
• It has a beneficial effect on the microclimate.
• High adhesion. And the mixture so firmly fixes the finishing materials, that it can be used as a mounting glue or as stucco for finishing.

"Finish Plus"

In terms of quality, the putty filler "Starateli Plus" differs little from the "KR" material, but it is intended for a wider range of applications - the mixture can also be used in those rooms where the humidity level is high enough.

Features:

• Resistance to cracking.
• The ability to seal cracks up to 1 cm deep.
• Quick drying.
• Low price.
