Painting the walls of water-emulsion paint is accompanied by a choice: make or seek help from a specialist. In our article, we will try to help you and tell that when complying with certain methods and technologies, you can achieve the quality of work independently.
Choose paint
In most supermarkets of trading materials, the choice of washable water-emulsion paints is so great that sometimes risk doing the wrong choice. What should I emphasize: price (high cost does not always mean high quality), the manufacturer's fame or just relying on your own taste?
When choosing a material, first of all you need to determine:
- The surface with which we will work (walls, floor, external or interior decoration);
- design direction;
- staining technology;
- Nuances of repair work that you need to know.
Pros and cons
Alkyd, glue, silicate and emulsion paints are used to decorate surfaces.
The water-making paint has its advantages, namely:
- she dries quickly;
- It is easy to apply independently;
- It is absolutely harmless both during repair work and drying;
- It is characterized by a high washable ability that prevents the appearance of dust and dirt;
- Always in the presence of a wide color palette.
And if you understand more specifically, it should be noted that by choosing the direction of design and the color palette, when buying a building material it will be enough to buy a basic tone, and after adding various color pigments to reach the desired color solution. Coloring is an integral part of the design.
The water disposal at a properly prepared surface is easy to apply and well go to bed. After drying when dust hits or dirt, the painted surface is easily clean. Working tools will also suit the most ordinary: brushes or roller.
It should be noted that the washing paint is, of course, practical, but at the same time do not advise you to apply it in rooms with high moisture, or the location of the surfaces of the surfaces should be maximally distinguished from the source of moisture, water.

Types of materials for washing surface
In order to know how long your work is saved, you need to learn how to determine some elements of its composition and types:
- Acrylic paints contain acrylic resins, which will allow for a long time to maintain its original appearance. However, it should be borne in mind that such a type of coating is suitable only for working with well-posted dry surfaces, since breathability is very low.
- Mineral paints and varnishes are created on the basis of negated lime and cement. The low price of such a material you is unlikely to please in connection with the service life: the surface will soon need a re-painting.
- Silicate paints are based on liquid glass, differ in its inexpensive price and at the same time a long service life. However, these materials are poorly resistant to water.
- Silicone paints are considered the most expensive type of coating, but they differ in a long service life, resistance to humidity, good ability to overlap irregularities.
All listed materials are washable, the difference is only in the composition and properties, therefore it should be noted that the choice of the priorities of the "price-quality" priorities remains yours. The main thing is that the result justifies all expectations and calculations.
Cooking surface
Well prepared surface - a guarantee of quality work.
First of all, it is necessary to remove all the extra items at a distance of 1.5 m from the surface with which we will work. Before painting the walls, we advise you to stick the plinth, kanta on the ceiling, joints on the walls with a special ribbon, which will ensure accuracy of work. At a distance of 1 m from the wall we cover the floor. If we are engaged in whitewash the ceiling, you need to cover the floor, cover the furniture from possible drops of paint. Of course, than good materials for washable surfaces in repair, so this can be corrected by errors. But still caution and accuracy in the work will not interfere.

The surface must be carefully cleansed from the irregularities of the layers of old paint. In this we will well help elaborate abrasive paper and a spatula.
Now the main thing is the primer. It is primer that will provide a good grip of metabies, a protective film on its surface.
The primer is also applied with a roller over the entire surface. Drying time - 5-6 hours. After you can begin to paint the walls or the ceiling and be confident in achieving the desired flaw, without spots and inclination.
It should be noted that the number of primer layers does not affect the quality of further painting. When working with the primer, the most important thing is to apply it to the entire surface, and one thick layer will be quite enough.
Selection of kernel
The interior design will look fashionable and interesting when a properly selected color scheme of the walls. And it is the possibility of coloring the water-emulsion paint that is one of its main advantages.
In construction markets, you can meet two types of calves: from natural painting components and from unnatural. The difference is that when working with natural pigments, you will get more rich colors, but the likelihood of their rapid burnout in the sun is high. Therefore, a kel with an organic composition we advise you to apply in the room, into which the straight sunshine does not fall. But the inorganic dye is not as bright, but resistant to light.
In achieving the required color it will not cost without experiments. You can contact a specialist who, with the help of a special machine, high quality and quickly mixes the foundation with the caller to your chosen on the tint palette. It will save your time. But we advise you to do everything yourself, because the colors on the palette do not always correspond to what happens as a result. Yes, and during self-mixing, you can reach the depth, saturation and brightness you want. It should not be said that when buying a large volume of white paint, you can buy several different colors and engage in real creativity. At the same time, the design of your room will be completely in your hands.

After applying paints on the wall, waiting for its complete drying, as the real roller manifests itself only after 1-2 days.
Painting
Go to the most important thing - painting the walls. This fascinating process is accompanied by creativity. However, it is not necessary to do without complying with some rules. First, the tools. The waterproof paint for the walls is applied using a brush, roller or sponge. The roller must be comfortable, and the pile is a soft medium length. The roller is used when painting a large amount of work. You also need a special bathtub. Sponges are usually used in decorating walls. When applying textures on the wall, you can achieve interesting design solutions.
Before starting work, a small paint volume must be pouring into the bath. If you are working with a roller, it should be slightly wet.
Remember Rule: Tools must absorb paints enough, but not so that it flows drops. For this, the roller, brush and sponge slightly pressed in the bath.
Painting the walls are recommended to do from top to bottom to prevent outers and divorces. Packers of the ceilings are carried out, as a rule, from the center to the edge and necessarily with good lighting.
After drying the first layer, the second finishing layer is applied, which completes our work.
It should be remembered that it is necessary to apply paint, the maximum pressing the tool to the surface so that the layer of the color you choose was smooth, without spaces.
