How to paint a wooden house outside

Color palette

I decided to affect this topic in the first place, since everyone interests in which color you can paint the facade of housing. The choice of color depends on your taste preferences, as well as from the color of the roof at a wooden house.

You can choose color according to standards not only for houses made of glued bars or logs, but also for brick or concrete houses. So:

Light colors can be combined with dark. For example, for dark roofs use light-coffee and beige shades of the facade
If you have a private house in the greenery, you can safely improvise with the design. The color can be saturated and bright, but also do not forget about the combination of parts. Do not paint the house in green, if there is a lot of vegetation around
The painted house can stand out thanks to small details, that is, on the background of a light facade, contrasting window frames, eaves and slopes will look very pretty. By the way, all additional elements, such as drainage pipes, are also selected by the color of the general design.
A huge role will play a style in which you are gathered to separate the facade. Therefore, stop your choice on those shades that accompany this stylist. Select color catalogs from manufacturers

The roof color should be combined with the design of the facade, so if you have the opportunity, then immediately stop the choice on more combined finishing materials. As a small example, here are some possible colors:

Bright red and gentle yellow
Saturated gray and canary
Cream color or cold yellow perfectly harmonizes with dark blue

A small combination table of shades that will help to successfully paint the house:

Decipher the table is very simple: 5 is excellent, and 2 is bad. Give out the choice of color due position, as in the future the design of the facade will serve you not one year.

Important! Dark color attracts heat, so for the northern regions you can smear and install the roof of this color. This will help at least a bit, but improve the microclimate in the house.

Select paint and prepare the surface

Everyone knows that the tree is a natural material, which is characteristic of their own. Therefore, let's consider in more detail how to paint the wooden house with projectile hands, if he is old and lost its appearance. But for a start, it should be remembered that the pledge of successful painting is to prepare surfaces.

Preparation of surfaces is the preliminary cleansing of walls from dirt and dust. It is very easy to do, taking the base with water from the hose. If on the basis of the log, mold or fungus is manifested, then the walls of the house should be treated with special impregnations. And if on some sites you notice the resin, then remove it with a spatula and cover this place with varnish.

Important! Preparation of surfaces with their own hands is a rather laborious process, but with qualitatively performed works you for a long time will forget about the need to repaired the facade.

All caps from fasteners need to be covered with primer solutions for metal. When the surface preparation is completed, then the walls of the wooden house should be left alone for several weeks. It is necessary for complete grazing and subsequent high-quality painting.

For a log house and facilities from glued timber, you can choose compounds from such a list:

Antiseptic
Acrylate paint
Oil paint

Coloring of a wooden house outside allows you to protect the structure from the effects of external negative factors. This allows and slow down the aging process. With the help of antiseptics achieve excellent protection against mold manifestations. It is better to apply a lesing antiseptic, which is transparent and is able to emphasize the texture of the log. Acrylate paint is quite an atmospheric and allowing the material to breathe. A good advantage is that this species is elastic, and therefore at temperature deformations of the log and even glued veneered timber, the coating is not cracking and retains its own appearance.

Oil LKMs are well absorbed and have excellent characteristics, but the painted house will dry long and ultimately the surface can become more matte.

Protection of wooden surfaces with paints

Pray wooden house with your own hands

It is not importantly built by your wooden house on the cottage from the glued timber or other material, it still loses its original appearance over time. The old view is negatively displayed on the mood of residents of the house, so do not pull the facade update. The reasons for which houses from the glued timber become gray and unpleasant several:

First, water has a negative effect on wooden walls - they can affect mold and fungus.
Secondly, ultraviolet contributes to the destruction of the integrity of the glued timber, and this leads to the deterioration of the properties of the material

In order to refresh the facade of a wooden house made of glued timber, follow such instructions. Preparation of surfaces with their own hands and painting occurs in such a sequence:

Grinding - sometimes it is just necessary for glued timber, as it may not have an ideal smooth surface
Sealing - For these purposes, acrylic sealant is suitable with which ends are processed
Grinding glued bar
Paint application - best paint the facade at least three layers

Do it yourself paint wooden house outside

Very often, training and basic work can be performed using qualified specialists. Since many want to know in advance how many such services can cost, I decided to make an exemplary table of the value of all works separately:

Selection of services	Cost for 1 m2
Grinding	100-150 rubles
Application Antiseptic	50-100
Primer	40-60
Painting (for 1 layer)	50-90.
Removing a pile	30-50

All services can be performed separately, and therefore you can save and spend some work yourself.

Important! If you are interested in how to paint the lining outside the house, it is also worth choosing all of the above options. But if you stop on the use of lesing antiseptics, then further painting you will not need. By the way, the front paints, having resistance to atmospheric influences, are also used for the front of the house.

LKM for foundation

The foundation of any structure, whether it is a brick, wooden or concrete house, needs good protection. It is determined by the fact that the foundation is experiencing severe loads and it turns out to be the greatest influence, since the water is characterized by the foundation of the house.

It is best to use acrylic paints on a vein-emulsion basis, as well as latex, which are also water-based paint. By this, epoxy and polyurethane mixtures can be applied for the foundation. If you paint the surface of the foundation of water-emulsion paint, you get the following advantages:

Acrylic and latex paint will quickly dry and no moisture is afraid
Acrylic becomes hydrophobic after drying, and latex is very easy to clean
Enough economical consumption of the water-emulsion mixture: for acrylic - 0.3-0.4 kg / m2, and for latex - 1 liter by 8-10m2

Despite the fact that the use of the water-emulsion mixture is very in demand not only for the foundation, but also for the common facade, attention should be paid to epoxy compositions. Although the coating of the water-level paint will serve you long enough, epoxy manufacturers claim that their materials have a service life of up to 25 years. For high-quality funding the foundation, it is best to paint in two layers, each of which will dry out during the day.

Important! If it uses a pulverizer and a compressor for the coatings of the implantation mixture, then choose paint with viscosity parameters not exceeding 20-25 tbsp.

The surfaces of the plastered house, if it is brick or concrete can also be painted using water-resistant paint. If you have a compressor, then the speed of work can increase significantly.

Compressor - an indispensable assistant if you need to paint something

Painting of a wooden house outside independently

The painted house will look even more attractive if the compressor and the paintopult used for its design. If you are often engaged in painting works, then select the compressor, and the nozzles at the same time.

For household use, it is best to take a compressor, which has a continuous operation of 15-20 minutes, and pressure up to 8 bar. The semi-professional class compressor can operate up to 40 minutes and is used more often on a hundred.

I want to add something from myself that it is better to have a mobile compressor for home use, which is not installed on the platform, but has special wheels.

Very often the ceiling of a wooden house allows you to raise fantasy. This is due to the fact that it is often not used in wooden structures. As in any finishing work, the ceiling needs preparation, so it is worth covering the antiseptic mixture. Next, the ceiling is insulated regardless of insulation during the construction of the house.
