Classification of coatings

Paint - a homogeneous suspension of pigment, or mixtures of film-forming substance, which after drying, uniform opaque film with certain properties (protective, decorative, special). Paints may contain fillers, solvents, plasticizers, driers, hardeners, etc. The main purpose of coating materials - Protection of building materials from demolition and corrosion, as well as giving items and decorative designs of the form (decorative finish). putty - a thick viscous mass consisting of a mixture of pigments and fillers dispersed in a film-forming substance. putty used to fill ruts, sealing cracks, potholes and surface roughness. Solvent - a liquid used to dilute the paint material to the desired consistency. Enamel - a suspension of pigment, or mixtures of excipients in the lacquer forming after drying opaque solid protective and decorative film with a different texture and gloss. Enamels are oil, alkyd , epoxy, nitrocellulose lacquer, etc. - a solution film-forming substances in organic solvents, after drying, forming solid transparent uniform film. Primer - a suspension of pigment or mixture of pigments with fillers to be applied to the painted surface after drying and forming a uniform opaque film with good adhesion to the surface providing high-quality finish coat of paint application. In order to classify paints used alpha-numeric system, consisting of 5 groups of signs for paints (enamels), primers, fillers and 4 groups of signs for varnishes.

What is linseed oil, and what are they for?

Drying oils - this film former, based on vegetable oils that have passed a special treatment (oxidation or prolonged heating at high temperatures), with the addition of driers and solvents used in the manufacture of oil and the dilution gustotertyh paints, cooking oil-resin varnishes, putties, primers . They are used for priming and olifovki wood and other porous surfaces prior to painting, preparation of paint formulations, fillers, as well as a separate decorative coating. What is linseed oil, and what are they for Classification of drying oils: linseed oil, natural, semi-subsistence varnish, linseed oil varnish combined synthetic. Dietary linseed oil varnish is prepared by treating natural drying or drying and semidrying mixture of vegetable oils (linseed, tung, sunflower, etc.), they practically do not contain solvents. Linen, natural linseed oil - light transparent oily liquid, made from linseed oil and drying oil prepared with linseed oil. Varnish is used: a primer (proolifki) metal, wood and plaster surfaces, for preparation and dilution of light gustotertyh paints, putties, podmazochnyh pastes, putties, for internal and external works at painting metal structures, floors, doors, window frames. Drying time of linseed oil at 20 ° C - no more than 24 hours. Linseed oil, natural Linoleic Linoleic natural linseed oil - a dark transparent oily liquid made from hemp seed oil and desiccant. Apply varnish for priming metal, wood and plaster surfaces, preparation and dilution of dark gustotertyh paints, putties, podmazok, cements and other dark-colored compounds.

Secrets of the painters

Vitaly Lviv Painting work - drawing painting structures on the surface of buildings and structures in order to increase their service life, improve sanitation in the premises and give them a beautiful appearance. Every year interior space is becoming sleeker, increased requirements for architectural expression, internal and external design of buildings, quality of finish. Meet these requirements new efficient, economical repair materials - new synthetic varnishes, lacquers and paints, particularly water-based and silicone. It would seem to paint a wall - it is not difficult. However, the painting requires very careful preparation of the wall to the repairs: Paint will not hide any cracks or irregularities or any other defects in the wall. In addition, there are many ways of applying the paint, depending on which improves the appearance and color last longer. Clean painted surfaces depends on the quality of operations performed and the sequence of works. In the high-quality color unacceptable tiny grains in the paint. Paint work need different brushes, rollers, spatulas, rulers. When painting works use different colors on the composition of: adhesives, lime, oil, enamel, and others. All paints contain various binders, pigment and auxiliary substances. Value of parts in paint is not by chance, so adding some substance at random, such as solvent, instead of improving the quality of the painted surface can lead to its reduction. Typically, paint is sold as a finished product. If you want to dilute it, add to only the most necessary amount of solvent, otherwise the paint will flow, especially on vertical surfaces.

All you need to know about the varnish

Lucky - the materials are solutions of film-forming material (resin or polymer) in organic solvents or water. After drying, they form a solid transparent (colorless or color) film, when you need to protect and simultaneously preserve or highlight the structure of the painted surface, mainly of fine wood. In this case, the varnish is applied to the prepared surface of the product. Lacquer as the final layer in the multilayer coating will give him a good look and enhance performance properties. What are the lakes? bituminous paints, alkyd paints, oil paints, epoxy, and nitrocellulose lacquer coatings prepared from Bitumen Bitumen of special stamps with the addition of various resins, oils. After drying bituminous varnishes form black film is resistant to water and some chemicals. It is not enough pronounced anti-corrosion properties of bitumen films at atmospheric conditions. lakipoluchayut Oil dissolving natural or synthetic resins in the drying of vegetable oil with driers and solvents. from natural resins usually used rosin, shellac and amber. As a general rule, oil paints form a solid transparent film of yellowish color. Due to the low weather resistance coating oil paints used for finishing products indoors, such as rinse aid worn wooden floor coverings. Alkyd paints - most common in the home of the applied paint. are solutions in organic solvents, synthetic alkyd (pentaphthalic or glyptal) resins. alkyd varnish film, solid, transparent, slightly colored, has good adhesion to different surfaces, water-resistant.

Beautician for the homeowner

Vadim Alexeev A man in a perfume shop usually feels mild confusion - ctellazhi with makeup seemed to him an alchemist laboratory. But in the wilds of automotive beauty, he focuses very well. So, all in a mood thing? so prior to our conversation about the protective equipment for the home, we will ask readers to tune into a serious mood. First, let's define the range of issues that must be considered. Thus, it is important to clarify: that we, in fact, protect, protect from what? And as with protecting what? Let's go in order. The object of protection are the interior and exterior of a country house. In the first case - expensive finishing materials and construction, and above all made of fine wood: flooring, cladding panels, interior doors, window frames, etc. Speaking of the exterior, we mean the surface of wood or stone facades, roofs and various decorative elements (especially metal), etc. What are defending? A very pertinent question, if we remember that the enemies of any building or finishing material to spare. Thus, the wood is afraid of excessive moisture, and conversely, dryness, harmful microorganisms, the scorching sun and the mechanical action. And, for example, metal rusts in contact with water there. On the last question: by what means can extend the life of your beloved home and its individual elements - we will give a detailed answer. In fact, this entire article is devoted. Of bugs and worms Almost all finishing coatings possess, in addition to the purely decorative properties, and more protective.

A beautiful facade with paint

A beautiful facade catches the eye not only master of the house, but any person passing by. Add beauty and brightness of the facade will help paint. The main function of paints for exterior painting and decorating, in addition to creating a decorative effect - the protection of the facade from the ravages of the environment. Speech - the exterior paint for the "stone" facades. That is, of course, to paint the facade of polished granite or marble, nobody, probably not, but the concrete walls, surfaces, trimmed with various types of plaster, lined with sandstone, it is necessary to paint. And the term "stone" refers to just such a surface. The most important function of any covering - protection of the facade from moisture. The fact is that virtually all the mechanisms of destruction of the stone associated with the physical, chemical, biological and mechanical effects, one way or another are based on the action of moisture. Rain, especially with the wind, and flowing down the walls of water can carry away from the particle surface of brick, stone, mortar and concrete. But if this role was limited to water, it would be bad. Like other materials, stone can absorb water, which is accompanied by swelling. It is clear that all the stones to absorb water in different ways: for example, porous brick, mortar and much swell, which is not true of granite, absorption capacity is very low. When water gets into the stone on the border between different building materials, and sometimes even between the particles of the same material (eg, sandstone), cause severe stress.

Silicate paints

Silicate kraskaeto one type of single-component vapor-permeable dyes. Refers to the mineral paint on the basis of liquid glass. Silicate paint is a reliable and convenient product. Use silicate paint for building and painting has become the norm. Unfortunately, decorative properties silicate paint is different, the fact that the alkali components in the paint does not allow the use of a large number of coloring components. Silicate paint is popular, particularly when working with the restored building. In addition, silicate paint is widely used when painting living and working quarters, kitchens, basements. Also it is used in painting the facades of buildings. Thus, in the central streets of big cities this is especially important. It is known that silicate paint splendidly, however, keep in mind that to cause the silicate paint should be applied to the mineral colors, as well as nashtukaturennuyu surface. Silicate paint has replaced limestone. For many of the qualities silicate paint it surpasses. It should be remembered that the durability of silicate paints is as strong by her side, and weak. Hold a paint can up to 20 years, which is an excellent term for the paint, but here, for example, house paint, colored silicate paint, something else is hardly succeed. Molten glass in the silicate paint is literally fused to the surface. Also, silicate paint is reinforced siloxane, capillary-open. When painting silicate paint surfaces that had been painted a different color, need to carefully clean up the surface, check that it would no more traces of the previous one.

Fillers and additives in paints and varnishes

To make the various properties of paint coatings, they introduced a variety of fillers and pigments. Pigments - it's fine colored organic or inorganic substances. Otherwise they are called dry paint. Pigments are needed to make the color material and improve opacity, light and weather. Organic pigments - are synthetic dyes that are added to the binders of paints and varnishes. They can produce bright, saturated colors. In the water-dispersed compositions frequently used inorganic pigments. Inorganic pigments can be natural (vegetable, mineral) or synthetic origin, are solids, they do not dissolve in water, solvents and film-forming components. Inorganic pigments in a finely dispersed solid form is added to paints, varnishes and other fillers are used to impart the desired coating properties. This solids not soluble in the binder and film-forming and non-coloring power. They are in the form of dispersions are added to the coating. Solvents and thinners - a necessary component of all paint materials. Solvents - a volatile organic liquid, which makes a film-forming liquid so that they become suitable for application by brush or roller to the surface. With the help of solvents is governed viscosity paints. Thinners, unlike solvents, do not possess solvent properties, but in combination with solvents, they are capable of a wide range to adjust the viscosity of the material. Good natural solvent and diluent is water, and sometimes, when the material allows it, use it for that purpose.

Why use oil paint?

Any painting work requires serious and thorough approach. Specialists painters now are very popular. This is logical. After all, from painting buildings, walls or on the subject, largely depends on just how long the object retains its form. How well it will be protected from external influences, the weather conditions. It should be borne in mind that when it comes to painting the building, painting or any other design, the paint will be primarily to withstand the increased loads. This is in direct sunlight and wind, and the impact of such detrimental to many surfaces, exposure to water. Thus, the most ordinary water, as rain could bring badly painted designs incredible damage. That's why where you want to provide reliable protection from water using latex paint. This is to protect the painted surface of the water for a long time. Latex different from the traditional colors that consist of two components. These components are immiscible and are present in the paint is separated. One of these components and consists of particles - globules. These particles interact with the dispersion or external phase emulsifier, which prevents coalescence of globules and other particles and chemical additives. When applied to the surface of latex paint, after a while, water is allocated as a result of an emulsifier on the surface evaporates and is itself directly paint. After the rejection well, the surface acquires a matte finish, is breathable and impermeable to water. It is impermeable to water makes latex so popular.

Oil paint. Selection and application

To carry out painting works requires a special tool: a variety of spatulas, centrifugal or pobelochnaya brush, brush-ceiling brushes, towels, fur cushion. All this simple tool is now on sale. In the painting we use several types of paints: oil, enamel and glue. Oil paints are usually issued in the form gustotertyh (diluted varnish, lacquer, various diluents: turpentine, mineral spirits, driers) and ready to eat. Linseed oil, which is used in painting, is a natural, semi-subsistence and artificial. The latter type of varnish (Lakola, karbonal, abietol) for good interior design can not be used if for no other reason that petroleum products are not stand the dampness in buildings. Of course, it is best to use a natural varnish - boiled linseed oil, but, having bought it, it is advisable to check the quality of the product. Linseed oil should not have impurities, and hence the odor. About impurities showed oily stains, which appeared a couple of hours on a paper attached to the dry layer of varnish. There is one more indicator of the quality of linseed oil: rub a drop of varnish to dry paint on the glass, put a glass pan, after 10-12 hours, try a spot with your finger: if the finger will stick, the linseed oil of poor quality. In stock, usually found oil paints in several colors, mostly white (white lead zinc, lead, or titanium), brown-red (minium iron), red (kraplak), dull yellow (ocher). With such a primitive set of colors make an interesting painting of walls is impossible. Therefore, we can use art oil paint in tubes, spreading it with a varnish, you can get the right color.

The rules of painting metal

More recently, the idea of ??painted metal surfaces with water-dispersion paints seemed utopian. The most common of the metals - iron is very rapidly oxidized in the presence of water, and then water-emulsion paint. Conventional water-dispersion paints, of course, are not suitable for these purposes. In this case, need specialized materials that form a dense protective coating, have corrosion resistance and have good adhesion to the metal. All of these problems, scientists were able to solve at once. Now in Europe it came to that water-dispersion paints were used in difficult areas such as automobile and shipbuilding. We shall not running too so far, and consider the possibility of painting the metal surfaces in the building. Let's start with the most complex - of the roof. Metal roofs can be divided into three groups according to the materials used. The first - from the black iron. Second - galvanized iron. The third - non-ferrous metals: aluminum, its alloys, copper, etc. The third group is extremely rare because of high cost, and therefore consider it not worth it. The first and second - much more accessible and widespread, although much more expensive than slate. With a black iron all clear, it must necessarily paint. Typically, for these purposes in Russia in the old used oil and alkyd paints. Those who love often paint may do so in the future. For the "lazy" may be advised acrylic aqueous dispersion enamel to the roof with an anticorrosive effect. Such coverage will cost you a bit more expensive than oil or alkyd paint, but will last much longer.

Water-based paints

Water based paint is a popular variety of colors, their main difference from traditional ones, is that the chemical level, a binder in them is, to put it simply, water. So at the molecular level, polymer particles, which actually represents a paint, are continuously limbo. These polymer particles, like floats in water. Once the paint is applied to the work surface, water evaporates, but the polymer particles form a dense mat film, which enjoys broad popularity at all malyarov.Takzhe water-based paints have a number of advantages over conventional paints, such as on oil. Thus, in the first place. These dyes have a characteristic pungent smell, because of which sometimes can not go into the room. In addition, water-based paints completely environmentally safe. They do not exude absolutely no harmful fumes. Water based paint can be safely used over many surfaces. It is not recommended to put a paint only on unprotected metal surfaces. Because of the paint is coming off the water, putting it on a metal surface, can cause corrosion process or speed it up considerably. It is also not recommended applying water-based inks on glossy paint. Same surface water-based paint can be applied any. At a construction site water-based paints are always held in high esteem. Painters are actively using them when painting concrete, masonry and stucco surfaces. In addition to the aforementioned water-based paints do not tend to peel and can always maintain a healthy indoor climate. As in many modern paints in water-based paints included a clear internal gradation of types and species.

Latex paint

Enamels and paints for the batteries

All the enamels and paints for the radiators are general requirements: they must protect the metal surfaces from corrosion, do not turn yellow and flake under high temperature. The European "standard heat" radiator paint - up to 140-180 degrees. But this is not the limit - there are those that can withstand up to 600. For our own central heating systems are suitable coating materials that can withstand normal surface temperature of 60-80 degrees Celsius. Therefore, for staining of radiators and convectors in apartments often use conventional alkyd enamel or conventional oil paints. This option is acceptable but not always. What to do if you need to paint pipes in the bathroom, where humidity, and temperature "at the limit"? The same questions are asked, if you need to update the look of hot-water boilers, grills fireplaces, etc. In such cases, usually use a complex systems (which necessarily includes anti-corrosion primer), or special paints. Application Procedure radiator paints and enamels If you're going to make repairs in the winter when central heating is included, then the first thing you should check - temperature conditions applied. Many enamels and paints recommended to paint radiators only when the system is off. Without considering this, you risk getting a yellowish coating (if the stain with white paint) and not very flat and smooth (the paint will dry too quickly and unevenly, and no time to "spread" evenly). Surfaces must be clean, dry, without a trace of dust or grease.

Distempers

Adhesive coating is the most common, but not unique: in addition to oil, there are such kinds of color, as lime, casein, silicate, emulsion paint formulations, polymer, etc. But no matter what kind of paint you use, you need to know that all color quality are simple, advanced and high quality. And they differ from each other in terms of operations. Of course, you want to make high-quality color, this will require the following operations. 1. Cleaning the walls of dirt, dust. To remove stains trudnosmyvaemyh apply lime soil or aqueous potash glass (1:3), which usually add dry white silicate paint. 2. Smoothing the surface and the pointing of cracks (at a depth of at least 0,2-0,4 cm). 3. The first priming. 4. Partial bedding and grinding grease places. 5. The first solid filler. 6. Polishing. 7. The second filler. 8. Polishing. 9. The second priming. 10. Third priming with Highlighter. 11. Paint. 12. Trimming. Have you noticed that before painting adhesive composition should produce priming, and more than once. There are two basic composition of the primer. First - vitriolic: copper sulphate (blue, since green is an admixture of iron sulphate, which can be separated by dissolving vitriol and wait for the iron sulfate in the precipitate fall in the form of flakes) - 0,2 kg, laundry soap - 0,2 kg, the carpenter's glue tile - 0,25 kg, linseed oil - 0,02 kg, water - 10 liters. Soap dissolved in hot glue evenly and quickly stirring, adding water to a total volume of 10 liters. The solution was cooled down - you can add chalk: 3 kg for the first and 6 kg for the second priming.

Paint: multicolor technology, operation

In an extensive range of finishing materials have become increasingly popular decorative Multicolor (mosaic) of paint. They are practically feasible, easy to operate and allow us to obtain a wide color palette. Multicolor coatings represent "the paint in the paint." Capsules of paint of one color "float" within the paint of another color. Due to the special structure of the components of these colors never mix with each other is not, and can be bi-color or multicolored. They are applied most often using a special gun. Under high pressure, which is created inside the spray-gun, capsules of paint sprayed on the wall, creating a chaotic pattern desired texture. Multicolor paints vary in size inclusions. They can be large or smaller. In capsule form it contains gold, silver, pearl blotches, which when applied to the wall begin to sparkle and iridescent sparkle. Multicolor paint attract not only for its decorative effect, but also an extraordinary resistance to all sorts of dirt and moisture. They are not afraid of the claws of pets, no shrinkage at home: scratches, cracks and even more so, they will not appear. In addition to their durability, these materials are fairly simple to maintain. Washed without any problems, you should just avoid detergents containing solvents, alcohol, and alkaline components. It is environmentally friendly, fire resistant material approved for use in both residential and public buildings of different purposes. We represent your attention the most popular collections Multicolor coatings.

Paints for interior applications

Application of paint to cover fulfilled the requirements of the requirements for water resistance, abrasion resistance, resistance to climatic influences, it is necessary to achieve a certain thickness of the dried film. For facade coatings are typically 100 - 120 microns, ie, approximately 200 ml of ink per 1 m2. Application of thinner layers leads to defects in paint and in the future - damage to the building envelope. The paint should be applied thinly. Trying to cover the surface at a time, of course, should not be. Colour the it a second time (after, of course, as the first coat is dry). Remember that two or three thin coats are always stronger than one thick. Staining the ceiling is painted ceiling to the walls. And the last layer of paint or whitewash should be brushed necessarily toward the light (the window). A previous wide. Otherwise, however carefully you're doing work on the ceiling are visible traces of the brush. When painting ceilings, lime composition prepared from hydrated lime, should know that the ceiling should be slightly moist. Persistence of painting will increase if a solution was prepared by adding sodium chloride (50-100 g per 10 liters of caramel). A final coat of paint on the wall apply a top-down. Otherwise, brush marks are visible. When applied by roller or brush direction should be chosen according to the direction of the main light, ie, finishing touches (passages) must be made in the direction of the light away from the window. At the same time on a wet surface is easier to observe the progress of work and possible errors staining clearly visible.

A beautiful facade with paint

A beautiful facade catches the eye not only master of the house, but any person passing by. Add beauty and brightness of the facade will help paint. The main function of paints for exterior painting and decorating, in addition to creating a decorative effect - the protection of the facade from the ravages of the environment. Speech - the exterior paint for the "stone" facades. That is, of course, to paint the facade of polished granite or marble, nobody, probably not, but the concrete walls, surfaces, trimmed with various types of plaster, lined with sandstone, it is necessary to paint. And the term "stone" refers to just such a surface. The most important function of any covering - protection of the facade from moisture. The fact is that virtually all the mechanisms of destruction of the stone associated with the physical, chemical, biological and mechanical effects, one way or another are based on the action of moisture. Rain, especially with the wind, and flowing down the walls of water can carry away from the particle surface of brick, stone, mortar and concrete. But if this role was limited to water, it would be bad. Like other materials, stone can absorb water, which is accompanied by swelling. It is clear that all the stones to absorb water in different ways: for example, porous brick, mortar and much swell, which is not true of granite, absorption capacity is very low. When water gets into the stone on the border between different building materials, and sometimes even between the particles of the same material (eg, sandstone), cause severe stress.

Silicate paints

Silicate kraskaeto one type of single-component vapor-permeable dyes. Refers to the mineral paint on the basis of liquid glass. Silicate paint is a reliable and convenient product. Use silicate paint for building and painting has become the norm. Unfortunately, decorative properties silicate paint is different, the fact that the alkali components in the paint does not allow the use of a large number of coloring components. Silicate paint is popular, particularly when working with the restored building. In addition, silicate paint is widely used when painting living and working quarters, kitchens, basements. Also it is used in painting the facades of buildings. Thus, in the central streets of big cities this is especially important. It is known that silicate paint splendidly, however, keep in mind that to cause the silicate paint should be applied to the mineral colors, as well as nashtukaturennuyu surface. Silicate paint has replaced limestone. For many of the qualities silicate paint it surpasses. It should be remembered that the durability of silicate paints is as strong by her side, and weak. Hold a paint can up to 20 years, which is an excellent term for the paint, but here, for example, house paint, colored silicate paint, something else is hardly succeed. Molten glass in the silicate paint is literally fused to the surface. Also, silicate paint is reinforced siloxane, capillary-open. When painting silicate paint surfaces that had been painted a different color, need to carefully clean up the surface, check that it would no more traces of the previous one.

The rules of painting metal

More recently, the idea of ??painted metal surfaces with water-dispersion paints seemed utopian. The most common of the metals - iron is very rapidly oxidized in the presence of water, and then water-emulsion paint. Conventional water-dispersion paints, of course, are not suitable for these purposes. In this case, need specialized materials that form a dense protective coating, have corrosion resistance and have good adhesion to the metal. All of these problems, scientists were able to solve at once. Now in Europe it came to that water-dispersion paints were used in difficult areas such as automobile and shipbuilding. We shall not running too so far, and consider the possibility of painting the metal surfaces in the building. Let's start with the most complex - of the roof. Metal roofs can be divided into three groups according to the materials used. The first - from the black iron. Second - galvanized iron. The third - non-ferrous metals: aluminum, its alloys, copper, etc. The third group is extremely rare because of high cost, and therefore consider it not worth it. The first and second - much more accessible and widespread, although much more expensive than slate. With a black iron all clear, it must necessarily paint. Typically, for these purposes in Russia in the old used oil and alkyd paints. Those who love often paint may do so in the future. For the "lazy" may be advised acrylic aqueous dispersion enamel to the roof with an anticorrosive effect. Such coverage will cost you a bit more expensive than oil or alkyd paint, but will last much longer.

How to paint the facade

The facade is designed to not only serve as a "person" at home, but and provide protection from the weather. Very often the facade bears the traces of weathering (variable temperature, variable and high humidity, ultraviolet radiation, wind), biological agents (molds, fungi), industrial and environmental pollution of the environment. peeling or discolored, spotty or even no decorated facades - a rather sad phenomenon. That is why the color of the facade is for many people, the real problem. How to paint the facade so that it looks nice and does not collapse over time? First step - select the type of paint. All paint materials for facades, are protective and decorative coatings, ie they must not only decorate the building but also reduce the level of destroying its environmental influence. Characteristics of the selected paint materials shall conform to the conditions which will be operated cover. For the front works best option is a water-dispersion acrylic materials. Water-dispersion materials are produced mainly based on three types of variances: - polyvinyl acetate (PVA) - butadiene (BS) - acrylic (AA). All three have their advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the dispersion of PVA adhesives are indispensable in the tree, but the paints based on them are obtained nevodostoykie and therefore have a very low scope, despite the fact that they are inexpensive. True, there are various waterproof PVA copolymers, but also in paints they are inferior to acrylic dispersions.

Why use oil paint?

Vadim Alexeev What paint works best for your home? In stores now represented by a huge number of paint formulations that differ in technological, operational and decorative properties. In addition, not least, for any work you want to use paint: inside or outside. Modern paints - it is a complex multicomponent structure. It includes the film former (a binder, by which on the surface to formed a colorful film), pigments, fillers, solvents and various additives - thickening agents and others as a binder of film-forming substances are commonly used alkyd resins (alkyd and oil paints) , aqueous dispersions of polymers: styrene-acrylate, butadiene-styrene, polyvinyl acetate (water dispersion), sodium silicate, or scientific, sodium silicate and potassium (silicate paints), silicone resin (silicone), linseed oil (based on them doing finger paints ) varnishes (enamel paint), etc. The colorful alternative to interior paints used in the interior must be especially environmentally friendly. After all, with their painted faces homeowner will have to deal with daily and hourly. Considered the most environmentally friendly water-dispersion paints (WEC). Connecting basis of such paints is not diluted with an organic solvent, unsafe, and water. It is water-dispersion trains experts advise to cover large areas - walls, floor, ceiling, walls, etc. Use alkyd and oil paints in the interior, too, is not forbidden, but in small amounts, say, to paint the window frames, metal pipes and radiators heating.

Types of adhesives for wallpaper adhesives for wallpaper used on the basis of flour, starch, wood glue, resins, latex, rubber and other adhesive materials possessing acceptable processing properties (colorless, necessary adhesion, time setting). Industry produces adhesives in the form of packaged with instructions for preparation and application. If there is no glue factory manufacture adhesives can be made from flour and their waste, as well as potato or corn starch. Pasting a simple wallpaper paste should be prepared without glue. With its adhesive used for gluing surfaces and label paper. Prokleivat and pasting paper can be hot paste, wallpaper is just cool. From the hot glue paint on the wallpaper and soak smeared during priglazhivaniya, so it should be done through a clean paper. Shelf-life glue at a positive temperature one day, when negative - two or three days. Fresh paste has a high bonding strength. Its better to prepare for a day of work. Consumption of any adhesive depends on the roughness of the surface density of the paper and wallpaper. Some wallpapers require double smearing paste and, of course, the ability to work. Paste made of flour or starch is used when a sale is not final. Flour can be replaced by flour dust settles on different structures inside the mill and the flour with the presence of small grains of sand, what happens when after forging grinding millstones. Flour is rye, peklevannaya or peeled, wheat, oats, etc., which has good adhesive ability. Starch can be potato, corn or maize.

Fillers and additives in paints and varnishes

To make the various properties of paint coatings, they introduced a variety of fillers and pigments. Pigments - it's fine colored organic or inorganic substances. Otherwise they are called dry paint. Pigments are needed to make the color material and improve opacity, light and weather. Organic pigments - are synthetic dyes that are added to the binders of paints and varnishes. They can produce bright, saturated colors. In the water-dispersed compositions frequently used inorganic pigments. Inorganic pigments can be natural (vegetable, mineral) or synthetic origin, are solids, they do not dissolve in water, solvents and film-forming components. Inorganic pigments in a finely dispersed solid form is added to paints, varnishes and other fillers are used to impart the desired coating properties. This solids not soluble in the binder and film-forming and non-coloring power. They are in the form of dispersions are added to the coating. Solvents and thinners - a necessary component of all paint materials. Solvents - a volatile organic liquid, which makes a film-forming liquid so that they become suitable for application by brush or roller to the surface. With the help of solvents is governed viscosity paints. Thinners, unlike solvents, do not possess solvent properties, but in combination with solvents, they are capable of a wide range to adjust the viscosity of the material. Good natural solvent and diluent is water, and sometimes, when the material allows it, use it for that purpose.

Operational, technological and decorative paint properties

Regardless of its composition, for all paints and other coatings decorative coatings there are some rules that they must comply. They should be easy to be simple to maintain, without prejudice to endure dry or wet cleaning, be ekologicheskichistymi, convenient in application. In addition to these qualities, to many kinds of materials are subject to additional requirements - high resistance to wear in heavily used areas, moisture resistance when used in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. In addition to the performance of coatings on the buyer's choice is largely influenced by the properties of decorative coatings, such as color , texture, luster, etc., as well as the cost of coverage. Decorative paint properties color. Modern paints can have almost any shade. Each manufacturer of paint products, there are special directories that list thousands of shades, each izkotoryh has a number, and you can get virtually neskolkominut with special tinting machine. The degree of gloss is also in wide limits: paint can be high gloss, glossy, sredneglyantsevymi, etc. dopolumatovyh, matt and deeply dull. In recent years, the greatest demand is matte paint. Texture coating is achieved is not necessarily due to special properties of the paint, but also thanks to a special application technique. Sometimes the textured coating is capable of creating the special optical effects on the walls, light and shadow, the apparent change in color depending on the angle and the degree of illumination. Technological properties of paints Opacity - a very important feature of using kotoruyumozhno analyze the different colors.

Secrets of the painters

Vitaly Lviv Painting work - drawing painting structures on the surface of buildings and structures in order to increase their service life, improve sanitation in the premises and give them a beautiful appearance. Every year interior space is becoming sleeker, increased requirements for architectural expression, internal and external design of buildings, quality of finish. Meet these requirements new efficient, economical repair materials - new synthetic varnishes, lacquers and paints, particularly water-based and silicone. It would seem to paint a wall - it is not difficult. However, the painting requires very careful preparation of the wall to the repairs: Paint will not hide any cracks or irregularities or any other defects in the wall. In addition, there are many ways of applying the paint, depending on which improves the appearance and color last longer. Clean painted surfaces depends on the quality of operations performed and the sequence of works. In the high-quality color unacceptable tiny grains in the paint. Paint work need different brushes, rollers, spatulas, rulers. When painting works use different colors on the composition of: adhesives, lime, oil, enamel, and others. All paints contain various binders, pigment and auxiliary substances. Value of parts in paint is not by chance, so adding some substance at random, such as solvent, instead of improving the quality of the painted surface can lead to its reduction. Typically, paint is sold as a finished product. If you want to dilute it, add to only the most necessary amount of solvent, otherwise the paint will flow, especially on vertical surfaces.

Varnishes and paints for beauty

Vitaly Lviv Do you do repairs in an apartment or begin to build a private house, you have still faced with work directly related to painting and painting facilities. Today's lack of information regarding the coatings can aggravate your situation regarding the repair of your dwellings. Is it not better once and for all to read and learn all the necessary information? What prevents the notorious "teapot" to become a true master of his craft? Yes, almost anything but a substantial lack of knowledge. Practice - come with time, it would wish. But with the information - a big problem. Paint material - the product has the ability when applying a thin layer on a product form on the surface of a protective or decorative film (coating). Coatings in the construction industry solve two main tasks: to protect the surface of various materials from destruction under the influence of atmospheric factors; perform artistic aesthetic function (creation of a supportive human environment). Among the coating materials used in construction, can be roughly distinguish four main groups: the facade paints, including primers, impregnation, paint, interior, paint for metal protection against corrosion, paints, varnishes, adhesives for wood. Basic paint materials are classified by type, chemical composition and the preferential destination of the material. To paint materials include enamels, paints, varnishes, primers, sealers. In the paint industry, there are common terms and definitions of basic types of paint materials and their components.

Adhesives: types and applications

To date, the problem of choosing the adhesive, we can assume is completely solved. Any company selling wallpaper, you will be offered the glue that best suits the selected wallpaper. For a good treatment of the deciding factors are properly selected adhesive and the necessary proportions of the solution. If the wallpaper heavy and absorbs moisture, the glue must be thick. Note that it is better to leave a thick glue and apply a thin layer, rather than vice versa. The following are characteristics of several adhesives that you can successfully use it. Wallpaper paste "RARA" "Extra" Clay on the basis of high-quality cellulose (Germany) for fixing all types of wallpaper on the walls with a poor finish. Consumption: pack enough for gluing 06.08 Standard roll light wallpaper, 4-6 rolls of vinyl and coarse-fibered, 3-4 rolls of heavy and embossed wallpaper. Package: 400-gram cardboard box. Storage: Keep in a dry place, the term is not limited. Wallpaper paste "RARA" Special "Clay on the basis of high-quality cellulose and synthetic resin (Germany) for fixing the lungs, vinyl, coarse-fibered, hard and embossed wallpaper. Consumption: pack enough for gluing 06.08 Standard roll light wallpaper, 4-6 rolls of vinyl wallpaper, and coarse-fibered, 3-4 rolls of heavy and embossed wallpaper. Package: 200-gram cardboard box. Storage: Keep in a dry place, shelf life is unlimited. Wallpaper paste "RARA" "Normal" Clay on the basis of high-quality cellulose (Germany) for fixing the lungs and normal wallpaper.

Floors with a plastic coating. Materials

PVC linoleum on the tissue subbase produce a monochrome surface like marble or printed design. is produced to the five types - A, B, C, D, E (eg, A - mnogoshtrihovoy duplicated with facial layer of transparent polyvinyl chloride film with printed design, etc.) . Available in rolls that can be pieces of a length not less than 3 m. The length of a roll of 12 m, width 1350-2000 mm, thickness 1.6 and 2 mm. polyvinyl chloride linoleum on heat-insulating subbase produce monophonic or two-layer printed pattern. The top layer is covered with transparent PVC film, the bottom - non-woven, heat-insulating employee subbase. Available in rolls 12 m, a width of 1350-1800 mm, the total thickness of 3.6 mm. It can be applied only where there is no heavy traffic. PVC vinyl with foam subbase and printed design release multi-colored with an embossed and netisnenoy outer surface. It produces two types: A-1, 8 1,8 mm thick for floors in residential and public buildings and LTZ-3, 3 (heat and sound insulation) thickness of 3.3 mm for the floors of residential buildings. in quality to the considered types of linoleum following requirements: the front side should not have sinks, folds, scratches, spots, stripes and splashes of paint and image distortion. linoleum should be evenly colored and do not change the color caused by water, light and air. Rubber layered linoleum (relin) painted on the entire thickness of the front layer. It may be monotonous or the split marble. Relin very elastic material, it consists of an upper layer with a thickness not less than 0,8 mm and one or two layers below.

Wallpaper Glue

Considering adhesives for wall coverings, we do not have in mind the finish tile, plaster or glaze. Acquainted mainly with the species of adhesives for wallpaper, textiles and cork coverings. The main feature of which is divided into "clothes for the walls (and glue to her) - the specific gravity. Distinguish the lungs (various wallpapers) and heavy (panel) of the coating. Adhesives for them are different and at a price and on the properties, and composition. Usually we want our wall decor is not bubbled, covered in spots, does not crack and does not fall off with plaster. Many of these items depend on the quality of the fixing composition. The basis of most adhesives are cellulose derivatives. Most often it is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or simply methylcellulose (MC). Depends on this temperature of water in which you want to breed glue. For example, in hot water solubility of methylcellulose decreases as compared with the solubility in cold water. This means that when the temperature will precipitate or the formation of flakes. In chemistry, it is called coagulation. The temperature of coagulation 2-percent solution of methylcellulose is in the range of 35 to 56 degrees Celsius. That is, when reaching this mark will be the solution mixed. It will embarrass its application to the surface. Carboxymethylcellulose has no temperature coagulation. Therefore, when preparing the adhesive on the basis of its temperature does not play a role (if not included in the composition of additives, temperature sensitive).

Glue on all occasions, wallpaper paste, dispersion glue, PVA glue

CMC wallpaper glue. One of the oldest and most trusted wallpaper adhesives are adhesives based on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The fact that the carboxymethylcellulose has the temperature of coagulation, ie, when dissolved in hot water it does not form precipitation and clods. Simply put, when preparing the adhesive on the basis of the substance water temperature does not play a strong role. To understand the market CMC-adhesives is not easy, their range is constantly growing and changing. Therefore, in order not to fall for bait bungler and not buy low quality goods, we recommend that you follow a few simple rules. First and foremost: CMC-glue is a white powder. If so, then he will be glued superbly, quickly dissolve in water without forming lumps while. If I buy the glue is yellow and powder in a package instead of chips, it is a clear sign that before you produce poor quality. Especially dangerous is it for paper wallpaper, this glue can easily seep through them and their yellow spoil the appearance, moreover, it is long and poorly soluble in water. Not recommended for domestic import wallpaper adhesives, since the results can be unpredictable, there were cases when they change color, messing with the colors of wallpaper. All the errors in the selection can be avoided if you buy the adhesive well-known brands such as: "Quelyd" (France), "Dufa Tapetenkleister" (Germany), "TD 2000 (England)," Papa "(Germany), or use a glue the same brand as the wallpaper.

Adhesives for tile and stone

Stone and Tile - excellent lining materials. But in order to serve a long time, they must be correctly stowed. In this sense, the process of lining can be compared with the tip of the iceberg, where the plates hidden invisible underwater part: properly prepared base, screeds, waterproofing and adhesive proper solutions. Informed choice of styling and the exact observance of technology - the key to success. Without claiming to be a detailed review, we would like to highlight only the main points that should guide the choice of leveling compounds, primers, waterproofing, adhesives, tools for grouting. Based on the operating conditions, all the diversity represented on the market today adhesives are usually divided into two groups: adhesives for interior with gentle and constant operating conditions and adhesives for exterior use, exploitation of which is complicated by adverse climatic, seismic or environmental factors. Apart from this general division, there is also a group of special adhesives that meet certain requirements depending on where they are used. For example, in food and chemical plants, where possible contact with aggressive media, in pools and reservoirs, where the adhesive is in contact with water, and undergoes continuous multi-ton pressure, when laying underfloor heating, which is constantly changing temperature conditions, in places with heavy flow of people ; in wet areas, etc. In each of these cases need to use a special glue designed for specific operating conditions.

Gender issues

Let's say you've already decided: in the living room is parquet hallway to lay a laminate, in that room must be precisely to fix carpet, the kitchen - linoleum in the bathroom and tiled floors ... or just choose between the surface of the sea grass, and cork plates? In any case, before you raise the question of consolidating the foundation. One of the most popular options - glue. Naturally, going to buy glue, you've just have to know that they will be secured and to what. There are, of course, the compositions, positioned as universal. But it is very arbitrary: one group of materials are suitable for the other - not. Pasted material - the main criterion on which the share adhesives for floor coverings. The latter, in turn, is traditionally divided into hard (brick, ceramic tile, wood, including flooring, natural stone) and soft (carpet, linoleum, vinyl, rubber, cork). Each of them has its own varieties, which may affect the choice. Other options - the basis of the adhesive (polyurethane, latex, acrylic) and the solvent (or lack thereof). Adhesives for wood glue Here the choice depends on the size of the board, wood species (absorbing or not, whether resistant to swelling) and the number of layers in the floor plank. The main requirement of the adhesive in this case - elasticity. The material breathes and board size varies depending on temperature and humidity environment. In order for your floor with the whole remained even after long periods of time, the glue should not crumble when dry.

Fruitful influence of the West

Yegor Barhotov flight of fancy people is limitless. Especially because there are so often you can hear a fashionable word creativity (from the English create - create), and all try to life as to be distinguished idea and imperishable masterpiece. I want to add that without the creative exploration and practice, not always successful, creativity is impossible. With the huge amount of building materials, paints and chips for decoration design options are spaces, varied enough to say, they are simply unlimited in the choice of options. Moreover, using some material not only for its intended you to find unusual exclusive solution. That's today's story about it. It is very necessary, because based on the principle "Economy should be economical" (the slogan of the 80's and now - is relevant). The idea Vyacheslav Romanov Applied designer. If the brain it captured the creative process - not sleeping and not eating. That's today's early morning, sitting in his seat, his eyes red, but joyful. By his own irresistible desire to work in the night. And now Olga Smirnova waiting, designer of the room. You see, she came up the canyon to make a niche in the free spaces of huge stones, under the harsh air of the Wild West. Meet, laugh, and the aim is not simple. Behold the glory of such a thing came up. Looked at the rest of the board ceiling gypsum fiber pieces and stirred the thought and wish was discarded. And do not do Are they ...? Yes, yes the canyon walls. The technology is only at first glance seems simple, but to perform its required sufficient skill, patience and time.

Vitaly Lviv wet surface of the wall is easily seen by the dark color of concrete when it is cleaned. If the moisture level is not obvious at first glance, it should make a check on the level of moisture in the wall. It is carried out as follows: the wall with adhesive tape attached a piece of film. If the surface is wet, the moisture comes through in the form of condensation on the reverse side of the film. When moisture Wallcovering makes no sense. Hold on a wet surface or paper or vinyl products will not. If you do not remove the causes of excessive moisture walls, then make them decorative finish meaningless. There are some obvious signs of moisture contained in the wall, just a few of them: loose wallpaper, plaster, loose as a result of crystallization treads salt or frost penetrated inside her water, a loose masonry exterior walls, mold on the walls, flaking paint and plaster . Once identified the causes of high humidity, it is necessary to eliminate them before they begin to prepare the walls for pasting wallpaper. Check the surface hardness is carried out by scratching the walls with a hard object. In this case, the site of application should not show scratches delamination. Also, if you wipe the surface of the wall by hand, then his hand should not remain a white plaque. Chalky residues should be thoroughly washed off the wall. Old peeling wallpaper also need to be removed completely. Then wash off glue residues and waste paper (if it was stuck under the old wallpaper).

How to properly prepare the floor to the floor topcoat

Vitaly Lviv All we have plenty of time to notice how quickly repaired the floor in public areas loses its former beauty: linoleum yellow and rubbed, hardwood plank and stir unpleasant creaking under the feet of the surface of carpeting covered mounds and folds. And this occurs despite the claims of most manufacturers that guarantee the life of their coating no less than 10 - 15 years. We decided to look and understand what is required to maintain a decent form of sex in public places and whether it is possible to avoid or delay the onset of irreversible change? So, depending on the application range of floor coverings can be divided into two unequal categories: Domestic. Their steles in apartments and private homes, where the load on the floor are small and the coating does not impose too much to ask; Commercial. Designed for rooms that are frequently used: offices, shops, hotels, industrial premises, etc. As it turned out, enough to choose the right flooring for a particular room. A recipe for success includes literacy training grounds and adherence to the technology of its styling. Only when these two conditions will cover a variety of serve and please you with its looks very long. To understand what they mean by "competent training grounds," we consider this process in detail. And do not dwell on the floor, requiring the rough alignment. We turn the floor, which in principle is ready for installation: it is a smooth, dry and free of cracks, dirt, and which requires only a "clean" level.

Types of adhesives for wallpaper adhesives for wallpaper used on the basis of flour, starch, wood glue, resins, latex, rubber and other adhesive materials possessing acceptable processing properties (colorless, necessary adhesion, time setting). Industry produces adhesives in the form of packaged with instructions for preparation and application. If there is no glue factory manufacture adhesives can be made from flour and their waste, as well as potato or corn starch. Pasting a simple wallpaper paste should be prepared without glue.

Consumption of any adhesive depends on the roughness of the surface density of the paper and wallpaper. Some wallpapers require double smearing paste and, of course, the ability to work. Paste made of flour or starch is used when a sale is not final. Flour can be replaced by flour dust settles on different structures inside the mill and the flour with the presence of small grains of sand, what happens when after forging grinding millstones. Flour is rye, peklevannaya or peeled, wheat, oats, etc., which has good adhesive ability. Starch can be potato, corn or maize.

What is a primer, putty and of bedding? And for what they are used

Primers - paints and varnishes, applied to the leveled surface of the first layer, providing adhesion basic refinishing (film) with the surface and giving the opportunity to get a clean and smooth color. From coloring compositions primers differ lower content of pigments. Most of the primers has a definite purpose: a glue stain (adhesive coating), lime, or under an oil painting (oil primer), but there are universal primers that are suitable for glue and lime stains. For example, a primer: for surface preparation of ferrous metals and wood products; to protect products from light alloys and steel for metal and wood surfaces to cover the various enamels; for priming metal and wood surfaces. Primer is applied a thin layer of solid, then thoroughly dried. Coat of repeating the surface profile, so the individual bumps align, smooth filler. Sometimes the putty is applied to the entire surface. You can also make primers themselves. We offer a recipe of several common primers that can be prepared with their own hands at home. Cooking at home Primer "soap-boiler." Soap (40% case), cut into small chips, dissolved in 2 - 3L of boiling water, after which the solution under vigorous stirring injected varnish. Soap-oil solution is slowly poured into the quenching in 5 liters of water, lime and mix thoroughly until smooth. The mixture was then diluted with water to 10 liters and filtered through a sieve. Properly cooked primer does not contain linseed oil droplets on the surface. Primer thoroughly cover the wetted surface and allowed to dry.

It can be applied only where there is no heavy traffic. PVC vinyl with foam subbase and printed design release multi-colored with an embossed and netisnenoy outer surface. It produces two types: A-1, 8 1,8 mm thick for floors in residential and public buildings and LTZ-3, 3 (heat and sound insulation) thickness of 3.3 mm for the floors of residential buildings. in quality to the considered types of linoleum following requirements: the front side should not have sinks, folds, scratches, spots, stripes and splashes of paint and image distortion. linoleum should be evenly colored and do not change the color caused by water, light and air. Rubber layered linoleum (relin) painted on the entire thickness of the front layer. It may be monotonous or the split marble. Relin very elastic material, it consists of an upper layer with a thickness not less than 0,8 mm and one or two layers below.

What is a primer, putty and of bedding? And for what they are used

Primers - paints and varnishes, applied to the leveled surface of the first layer, providing adhesion basic refinishing (film) with the surface and giving the opportunity to get a clean and smooth color. From coloring compositions primers differ lower content of pigments. Most of the primers has a definite purpose: a glue stain (adhesive coating), lime, or under an oil painting (oil primer), but there are universal primers that are suitable for glue and lime stains. For example, a primer: for surface preparation of ferrous metals and wood products; to protect products from light alloys and steel for metal and wood surfaces to cover the various enamels; for priming metal and wood surfaces. Primer is applied a thin layer of solid, then thoroughly dried. Coat of repeating the surface profile, so the individual bumps align, smooth filler. Sometimes the putty is applied to the entire surface. You can also make primers themselves. We offer a recipe of several common primers that can be prepared with their own hands at home. Cooking at home Primer "soap-boiler." Soap (40% case), cut into small chips, dissolved in 2 - 3L of boiling water, after which the solution under vigorous stirring injected varnish. Soap-oil solution is slowly poured into the quenching in 5 liters of water, lime and mix thoroughly until smooth. The mixture was then diluted with water to 10 liters and filtered through a sieve. Properly cooked primer does not contain linseed oil droplets on the surface. Primer thoroughly cover the wetted surface and allowed to dry.

Kinds of primers, how to select the primer

It depends on the primers is as rugged and durable mate first layer of putty with the basics: whether it will continue to flake off, get wet, cracking, etc. Primer - one of the most important part of any process chain for high-quality finishing, repair, and the more surface color. It is designed for pretreatment of walls, floors and ceilings to plaster, putty, painting, laying tile, floor screed device, repair and restore the surface, etc., etc. No primer is indispensable for application materials to the complex surface: not enough or too porous , dusty and dirty, stained plaster or other building mortar, etc. What do we mean by the word "primer"? This is a liquid homogeneous mass consisting of a mixture of fillers and special components in the binder polymer. How to choose a primer need the application of a primer should be determined by the type and condition of the treated surface. It is also important to consider the appointment of the room: bathroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc. Priming wallpaper glue is the cheapest way, but it applies only to perfectly flat surface. Priming reduces vlagovpiyvayuschie adhesive properties of the surface, but there are many other dangers: a manifestation of yellow spots on a light wallpaper, crumbling plaster, cracks, etc. Now, replace the "outdated" way of priming the glue came the so-called spetsgruntovki. Between themselves, they differ in the constituent components, which allow to find the best coverage without sacrificing the personal finishing material.

Secrets of beauty and longevity

Vladimir Mikhailov unique natural wood color, unfortunately, vulnerable and short-lived. Wetness, temperature, fungus and blue - all of which can completely destroy the charm of the first timber, and then the rest of its remarkable properties. On ways to combat this scourge and will be discussed. Our ancestors antiseptics and dryers do not know. But felled forest at certain times, rafted the rivers, and dried under the sun and wind ... Different regions have their own ways of "hardening" of wood against fungi and bark beetles, but all of them - not for our industrial age, though, because sometimes take years. Many secrets of carpentry and timber artisanal, alas, irretrievably lost. They were replaced by high technology and chemical methods of protection. But the chemistry chemistry strife. Sometimes the manufacturers of various fire retardants, bleaches, and antiseptic formulations "forget" to warn consumers that their products are not too healthy. As a result, we are proud to be used in the interior of natural wood, but do not realize that it is hopelessly poisoned by salts of heavy metals and other filth. Everything is good in moderation. To begin with, note: A good host must first avoid the conditions in which the natural enemies of wood feel at ease and confident. Among these enemies, in particular, bacteria, fungi, algae, insects that feed on either wood, or simply contribute to its destruction. To make life pests of wooden structures did not seem to honey, first of all need to observe a certain humidity conditions.

Treatment of wood infested houses mushrooms

Due to persistence of fungal organisms range of measures to antiseptic repair should be performed very carefully, in a strict sequence. Everything, even the slightly affected areas of wood should be removed. After this construction is well dried, antiseptic, and again dried (in crude wood preservatives is not absorbed). Antiseptirovanie best performed three times at a constant or systematic airing. As mentioned, many antiseptic solutions corrode metals, so the metal parts is recommended prior to treatment with oil paints to paint two or three. In order not to spread the fungal spores, for removing diseased wood under the seat is recommended to lay plastic sheeting, oilcloth, or a thick cloth. If the treatment is carried out at the top of the wall, the wall itself, and below the treated site should be anything closed to her did not get fungal spores. After processing all the cut wood (wood chips, sawdust, chips) should be collected in a metal container and burn or bury at a depth of 70 cm, A Place in the cut wood antiseptic, dry, and only then put in place antiseptirovannuyu and dried piece. Repaired the place to be reliably protected from moisture and create the opportunity for continuous ventilation. Dry antiseptics and preservatives based on kerosene or turpentine, or their mixtures are not dried. On the horizontal surfaces of various designs can be applied dry antiseptic, mounds of layers desired thickness, taking measures that they will not pour.

Preparation of antiseptics

Antiseptics prepare liquid, paste and dry (dry use only horizontal surfaces). The industry produces a variety of drugs to fight fungi and beetles: "Antiseptic", "Talfton", "Gloss", "polish", "Senezh, etc. They are sold in hardware stores and it included instructions on how to use them . But many antiseptics can be cooked at home. For the preparation of solutions, pastes or dry antiseptic use wood, ceramic, glass dish (stainless steel cookware is rapidly destroyed, so it must first two or three times to paint with oil paint, good drying each layer). Water for preparation of solutions must be clean, not tight, heated to 9O ... 95 ° C. If the solution of antiseptic added baking soda or ammonia, the water warmed to 30-40 ° C, to avoid a violent reaction. fluorosilicate ammonium dissolved in cold water. antiseptics to more soluble, it is recommended to crush them slightly moistened with water, and only then pour in the water and thoroughly stirred. To make the processing of wood remained missing seats, an antiseptic solution podkrashivayut aniline dyes, which are used for dyeing (50 g dye 100 l of solution). colorant is dissolved in a little water and pour into the prepared solution as a last resort (water for dilution is taken from its total amount). Flow solution for doubly processing 0,6-0,8 l / m 2, with an antiseptic solution penetrates into the wood to a depth of 1-2 mm. antiseptic solution to the first treatment podkrashivayut weaker than the second.

Types of antiseptics

Preservatives, or pesticides - are chemical poisons used to protect wood from rotting and insect damage, mostly beetles, Dry wood borers. Virtually the same antiseptic used to control beetles and mushroom houses. They are inorganic (mineral), organic and combined. Depending on the impact of these substances on the body of insects they are divided into intestinal, contact and fumigants. Intestinal (internal) toxic substances entering the digestive tract of insects, and poison them. These include all the pesticides used to protect wood from damage mushrooms. This sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate, ammonium fluorosilicate, copper sulfate, zinc chloride, sodium arsenate, and the combined preservatives, as well as creosote oil, chlorinated naphthalene, petihlorfenol (the latter having sustained an unpleasant smell, do not find use in residential buildings and livestock). To combat the beetles and their larvae, located deep in the timber, the concentration of intestinal toxic chemicals should be much higher than for the anti-fungal organisms. Contact (external) substances act on the beetles and their larvae, when they come into contact with them. Such substances are many, but they are expensive and harmful to humans and animals. When you work with them requires special caution. This DDT hexachloran, hlorodon, trichlorfon and other fumigants call such substances, which in the form of steam or gas enter through the respiratory tract, through the skin into the body of insects, causing their death.

Beautician for the homeowner

Vadim Alexeev A man in a perfume shop usually feels mild confusion - ctellazhi with makeup seemed to him an alchemist laboratory. But in the wilds of automotive beauty, he focuses very well. So, all in a mood thing? so prior to our conversation about the protective equipment for the home, we will ask readers to tune into a serious mood. First, let's define the range of issues that must be considered. Thus, it is important to clarify: that we, in fact, protect, protect from what? And as with protecting what? Let's go in order. The object of protection are the interior and exterior of a country house. In the first case - expensive finishing materials and construction, and above all made of fine wood: flooring, cladding panels, interior doors, window frames, etc. Speaking of the exterior, we mean the surface of wood or stone facades, roofs and various decorative elements (especially metal), etc. What are defending? A very pertinent question, if we remember that the enemies of any building or finishing material to spare. Thus, the wood is afraid of excessive moisture, and conversely, dryness, harmful microorganisms, the scorching sun and the mechanical action. And, for example, metal rusts in contact with water there. On the last question: by what means can extend the life of your beloved home and its individual elements - we will give a detailed answer. In fact, this entire article is devoted. Of bugs and worms Almost all finishing coatings possess, in addition to the purely decorative properties, and more protective.

Treatment of wood infested with beetles

Known processing methods: the introduction of antiseptic solution into the interior design, surface impregnation of wood preservatives by painting or spraying, coating wood preservative pastes. With enough preservative on the wood surface female beetles lay almost on her eggs. If they are delayed, it appeared the larvae will die. Prior to the repair of structures damaged by beetles walls, floors, walls desirable to treat any antiseptic. Under the workplace spread a film or oilcloth fabric. Cut the wood harvested is burned or buried in the ground. Infected beetles place antiseptic, dried, and close up dry antiseptirovannoy timber. Fighting bugs and grubs in the furniture. First, molten paraffin wax or obscure from the outside all the holes. Then turn over furniture legs up. In the mid-leg drill one hole with a diameter of 3 mm or more at a depth of 50-150 mm. Prepare an aqueous solution of antiseptic and fill them drilled hole. As such, the furniture is left no less than a day. Then repeat the operation. You can pour antiseptic medical syringe, lubricator for the sewing machine or a syringe. Best squirt or a large metal syringe. Fighting bugs and grubs in the walls, beams, floors. First of all, a thin steel wire with a small curved end cleans the entrance holes left by the larvae and clogged wood flour. In these holes under pressure pouring antiseptic and obscure hole with paraffin, wax or clay. You can do so. At the hearing determine in what place there is a larva. Over the spot and pierced, punched or drilled hole depth of 20-50 mm and a diameter of 2-3 mm.

The fight against the destroyers of wood

Wrestling with household fungi and insects - timber can be reduced to a minimum, if the advance to take appropriate action. For example, for the life of wood pests it is necessary moisture content. In very dry wood or fungi, or beetles Dry wood borers can not live without. Thus, the beetles first appeared in the legs of furniture, because when you wash their floors often with a damp cloth, and this makes the wood a certain amount of moisture. Thus, concern for the preservation of wood should start even with the cutting area, where you would normally get infected mushroom houses. Mycelium from infected wood easily gets through to the latest tools, shoes, clothes, etc. Frost is below 5 ° C kills the mycelium, but, unfortunately, only on the wood surface. Develop fungi as the light and in darkness. The main condition for their development - humidity. It is necessary to procure a healthy timber otbrakovyvaya with signs of infection not only fungi but also beetles. Store materials necessary for a high, dry place free from debris, bushes, herbs, with a mandatory device grooves for water drainage. Timber must oshkurit, bark and other debris removed from storage and burn, observing fire prevention measures. Oshkurennye logs appropriate cover (color) on all sides by water with antiseptic or even lime wash (in a bucket of whitewash of 100 g of common salt, previously dissolved in water). The ends of the logs can not be an oil painting or other like paint, closing the pores of the wood. The logs should be laid in each row butt to one side.

Antiseptics. Purpose and application features

The use of wood for construction has been known since prehistoric times and today it is widely used for construction of houses. However, most tree threaten enemies, both external and internal. The former should be attributed, primarily, the fire (wood is known to be highly flammable) and ultraviolet rays, which detracts from the appearance of structures of this material. Inside the danger comes from moisture. It contains not only a growing tree, but in lumber or finished wood products. Moisture content of wood should not exceed 15%. Excessive saturation of water and insufficient ventilation gradually destroy the structure of the material and cause other diseases of the tree. In addition, if it is under the open sky, the amount of its internal moisture is not constant. The tree then absorbs water in direct contact with rain or moist air, it dries out. These oscillations lead to warping and premature aging of the wood. However, the worst enemies of wood - are microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, mold, moss) and insects and mercilessly feeding on wooden structures. From enemies to fight: either in advance to prevent their attack or defend against invasion, if it is, alas, has already happened. Protect the tree from the enemies to help special chemicals - antiseptics. They are of two kinds. First - impregnation (primer), which have antimicrobial and anti-fungal (fungicide and algitsidnym) effect. Primers usually colorless or with a greenish tinge, which disappears after a few months after application.

OSB-plates

Oriented particle board (OSB) - a relatively new building material which is used in the construction of frame houses, in furniture, in roofing and in other cases. In the production of OSB is the gluing of large size (3-8 cm), thin chips, and in different layers in different ways, it provides strength slab. In the lower and upper layers of the fiber plates are longitudinally, and on average - the transverse length of the slab. On their properties OSB products are similar to the softwood plywood and chipboard panels. But it is worth RSD is much cheaper because the production of OSB boards demand for raw materials below, although it does not mean that the OSB is worse in quality than the ADI. At the same qualities and at a lower cost-oriented particle board replacing conventional plywood construction market. OSB board - a dense wood pressed three-layer slab of heavily oriented chips of softwood. A substitute for plywood and particleboard. Exterior OSB clearly explains its name. Plate can be easily distinguished by an elongated chips. As we have said, OSB board consists of three layers. In the upper and lower layers of the chip is located longitudinally and the inside - the cross. Each of the layers carefully glued with waterproof resin, then heated to high temperatures and pressed under high pressure, which betrayed him special strength as compared to conventional veneers. OSB boards are made of chips ranging in size from 75 to 150 mm in length from 10 to 25 mm in width and from 0,5 to 0,75 mm in thickness.

Heat-treated wood

What is heat treatment? To obtain high-quality lumber wood must be dried. Until the mid 1990's the most advanced technology is a high drying at a temperature of 100 - 150 degrees Celsius. In 1997, one of the woodworking factories in Finland, Mikkeli introduced a new technology that has been called. For a given technological process of drying is carried out at a temperature of 150 - 230 degrees. The higher the temperature, the greater the weight loss due to evaporation of volatile compounds (in other words, the tree becomes easier). The greater weight loss, the less water remains in the wood. Depending on the conditions of heat treatment and wood residual moisture content of 40 - 60% less than that dried in the usual way. The process of treatment usually lasts about 24 hours. Moisture content of wood after heat treatment is reduced by 80 - 90%. As a consequence, significantly reduced its heat: heat-treated wood is heated much less raw, coming on this indicator to Abashev. The surface of the heat-treated wood is not porous and dense, which reduces the ability of wood to absorb moisture from the air (30% - 90% depending on the temperature and drying time). In practice this means that the tree is able to repel water without additional treatment with special impregnation. Thermal treatment decomposed wood sugar, is a breeding ground for microorganisms that contribute to rotting wood. It is extremely resistant to decay, approaching this indicator to the larch, and, consequently, hygienic material.

Oriented particle board

Oriented particle board (OSB) is a new high-tech material used in Wood Frame Construction, in the manufacture of furniture, for packaging. OSB boards are made by gluing large size (3-8 cm), thin chips, and the upper and lower layers of the grain direction, longitudinal, and in the middle layer - cross the length of the slab. On the physical properties of OSB are similar to softwood plywood, but much cheaper to manufacture due to the low quality requirements for wood raw material. Because of the lower cost of the same qualities of consumer-oriented chipboard gradually replacing plywood in many traditional areas of application. Oriented strand board - a three-layer thick pressed wood board from the large-oriented chips of softwood. A substitute for plywood and particleboard. Appearance Oriented chipboard clearly explains its name. Plate can be easily distinguished by an elongated chips. Oriented strand board is made up of three layers. In the outer (upper and lower) layers of wood chips is located longitudinally and transversely in the inner layer. Each layer is glued with waterproof resins and compressed under high pressure and temperature. As a result of this technological features of the OSB gets water resistance, elasticity and resistance to extension and construction loads. Particle board, oriented structure (OSB) are made by hot pressing of wood chips mixed with a binder material. OSB production technology was first used commercially in the U.S. in early 1990. According to this production technology initially logs are sorted, then hold a special treatment and fumigate.

Wooden articles of improved form

Oksana Kolganova Although wood is a beautiful building and finishing materials, sometimes there is a need to change in a particular direction of its quality. It is important to use technologies that do not violate its main advantages - eco-friendliness. The market of finishing materials for the country house growing number of consumers prefer products made of wood. To improve the performance of wood products and improve the decorative effect of relatively cheap wood, there are two ways. One of them - the so-called active modification, ie, chemical or biological treatment of wood (volume or surface). Active modification involves changing the structure of wood applied to the surface of special trains. A set of these methods is quite effective and preferable to the price / quality ratio. Nevertheless, chemically or biologically treated wood can not be completely environmentally friendly product. There are other methods of passive modification of wood, which include the creation of Thermo. He does not use chemical additives in the tree structure. The modification occurs only at the expense of handling environmentally friendly elements, such as steam and natural vegetable oils. The resulting products remain as clean as before the treatment process. At the same time greatly improves their quality and decorative properties. Testing of heat Thermowood (heat-treated wood, thermally modified wood, THERMOWOOD, thermowood) - this is hydrothermal treated wood. It is a natural, environmentally-friendly decorative materials and has, in comparison with conventional carpentry and construction timber, a number of unique performance characteristics.

Ceiling: Types finishing

Modern man lives in a world of sounds. In urban homes and offices constantly (and sometimes quite loudly), radio broadcasts, television sets grub, music plays incessantly ringing telephones and pagers, as well as humming, buzzing, beeping and ticking the mass of the most diverse engineering. Alas, we used to fall asleep to the "soothing" the roar of cars outside. Mankind has lost the habit of silence and eventually got a whole bunch of problems - high blood pressure and nervous disorders, stress and depression, as a result - chronic fatigue. Understandably, to abandon the achievements of civilization, we are no longer able. But you can learn to control the sound level in the room. It's real. It turns out, you just decorate walls, floors, ceilings, sound-absorbing materials (which do not reflect and absorb sound), and background noise will be less. You've probably noticed themselves: is it worth to lay on the floor carpeting, and hang on the wall carpet, as the room becomes quieter and more comfortable. All true. But what about, for example, with the ceiling? As it turned out, this problem can be solved. Many self-respecting manufacturers tile suspended ceiling panels (ARMSTRONG, ECOPHON, AKUSTO, OWA, ROCKFON and LUXALON) has long been producing so-called acoustic ceilings to absorb sound. Ceiling plate production companies ARMSTRONG, ROCKFON and OWA are made from mineral fibers, and ECOPHON and AKUSTO of porous glass wool - one of the best sound-absorbing materials.

Top noisy neighbors? There is a way - acoustic ceilings!
