Almost every person at least once in his life took a masking brush in his hands and painted something. And this had to be done with the ceiling in the country, in the house, apartment or other places. But still, not every developer can boast of painting work without special knowledge.

The need for painting the ceiling with water -based paint

Literally until recently, the ceiling such as whitewashing with lime solution or chalk was very popular. This was due to its slight price and a rather harmonious combination of such a snow -white ceiling with an interior and design of any type. However, now most people are not satisfied with the complexity and complexity of preparatory work. Also, the surface, which is whitewashed, is quickly polluted and, accordingly, loses its attractive appearance.

To date, painting the ceiling with water -based paint remains the most popular finish method. Compared to whitewashing, the painted surface retains its aesthetic appearance for a longer time. The procedure also makes it possible to carry out light and quick care for the ceiling surface. This method is one of the most inexpensive methods of repair, as shown in the photo painting the ceiling with water -based paint.

Water emulsion paint in its composition is a suspension, which is based on pigmented substances and particles of polymers dissolved in water. Its main feature lies in the fact that after applying to the ceiling surface, quite rapid evaporation of water occurs, while polymers form a coating resistant to moisture. Water -based paint is an environmental material that does not cause negative effects and allergic reactions to the human body.

On freshly painted ceilings, certain ceiling defects can occur quite often. The very first may appear some spots. Remember that after painting, everything seems to look normal at once, and after the surface dries, an incomprehensible nature of unevenness appears. The continuation of the work of the roller can only worsen the result, and the painted layer will become a large extent the main cause of disorders. Various stains on the ceiling, which seemed simple shades from all kinds of glare and various lighting, are indeed a problem.

The reason for their occurrence is definitely not poorly mixing the colors of several colors. Still, the main reason is a violation of the technology of painting the ceiling with water-based paint. The ingredients with the right recipe should be as follows: material (this, of course, water -based paint) and a tool for work - a roller. Import paint or domestic - there is no particular difference, if only it was not a clear fake.

Choosing water -based paint for the ceiling

After you have decided on the tool, proceed to the choice of suitable paint. So, you are going to use water -based paint, but it also has many varieties. In the consumer market, you can currently purchase compounds with various additives: acrylic with the addition of latex, acrylic, substances with a silicate or silicone base, compositions based on polyvinyl acetate, as well as paints with a mineral composition.

Types of water -based paint

Let's look at them in more detail:

1. Polyvinyl acetate paints. The price of painting the ceiling with water -based paint made on the basis of polyvinyl acetate is the most democratic, since such compounds are the most inexpensive of the above paints. But they are allowed to use exclusively in dry rooms. The ceilings that are painted with this paint cannot be washed.
2. Latex paints. The paints in which latex are added are the most expensive. And they, of course, have a number of advantages, such as obtaining a rather flat and beautiful surface, the possibility of wet care using detergents, etc.
3. Acrylic paints. Water -based acrylic paints are the most popular. They are used in almost any rooms, they also have increased abrasion resistance when washing, as shown in the video about painting the ceiling with water -based paint.
4. Silicatical paints. Paints with the addition of liquid glass (silicate) are widely used for painting plastered, concrete or stone surfaces. Such silicone paints are applied directly to the plaster, without the use of a primer. Their main advantage is a rather high vapor permeability, which makes it possible to use them for painting ceilings in bathrooms and kitchen rooms. In addition, they perfectly protect the surface from all kinds of fungi and other parasitic microorganisms.

Properties of water -based paint

Therefore, in order to make the right choice of water -based paint, it is necessary to carefully study the properties of the composition and the instructions written on the bank and located on the bank with water -based paint. Manufacturers in such an annotation usually indicate:

• For what types of work such paint is intended;
• Approximate consumption of the composition per square meter (this is important for determining the desired amount of substance);
• The degree of covering (this is the ability to close the dark background with a solid white blade);
• The resistance of the paint to abrasion during wet cleaning.

It is also necessary to pay attention to what is printed in small print. Very often this is the main information about the characteristics of the paint. In the annotation, approximately the following things can be written:

1. The paint has a very high level of resistance to dry abrasion. This suggests that the surface, painted with such paint, cannot be washed, you can only use a vacuum cleaner or wipe the ceiling with a dry rag.
2. The paint must be used in dry rooms where the low operational load. Such an inscription says that a water -based emulsion is not suitable for painting in rooms, where increased humidity, that is, in bathrooms and kitchen rooms with a huge number of eating from cooking.
3. The paint is indelible, high resistance to washing. The ceiling that is painted with this paint can be washed with water without the use of detergents.
4. With intense washing, the paint shows high resistance to abrasion, has the properties of mudding. This composition is the best type of water -based paint. The surface can be washed with gentle detergents.

The color scheme of the water emulsion

Water -based paints can be matte and semi -water, glossy and semi -glossy. Their difference is as follows. Matte compositions slightly mask the surface defects, while increasing visually the height of the room. But they are quite difficult to wash. If the surface is covered with glossy paint, then it is resistant to abrasion, it is much easier to wash, but small cracks and all sorts of other flaws of the ceiling are clearly visible on it.

The best option is to choose a semi -water or semi -glossy paint. Another important point that you should remember: buy water -based paint exclusively in the store that has a warmed warehouse. Even if the cost of painting the ceiling with water -based paint will be higher than when buying a composition on the market.

The whole thing is that when the paint is freezed, its structure, which then is not restored when thawing. Therefore, you should pay attention to the conditions of storage of paint. We strongly recommend the use of water -based paint, designed only for painting ceiling ceiling. It is perfectly distributed on the surface, has excellent sticking and practically does not drip.

You need to know that the paint in different parties even from one manufacturer may not fall into the tone. This means that it is best to immediately take paint with a margin from one batch so that later various kinds of troubles do not occur, which are associated with the selection of paint by tone. Water -based paint on sale is usually white. But if you want to get a colored ceiling, you do not need to look for expensive colored colors. You should simply buy ordinary collars, with which you can give absolutely any color with your paint.

In specialized stores, they can immediately mix the selected color using the same collars. But suddenly you decided to knead the desired color yourself, then be very careful, since you can overdo it with a ring and get a completely different tone with a water -based paint after painting the ceiling. In paint, you need to add in small portions to the paint, since it is a concentrated pigment.

After we selected the paint, we proceed to prepare the surface for its painting and applying the composition to the surface. Technologies for painting the ceiling with a roller and spray gun differ among themselves. In the following articles, we will consider in more detail how to prepare for the working process correctly so as not to overcome anything, and how to use these tools when applying water -based paint to the ceiling surface.
