Ceiling filler - what is the essence of the work?
Before applying to the surface to be trimmed( facade, walls, ceilings, etc.), the final coating, often referred to as finishing or finish, is treated with the formulations and leveling materials referred to as shpatlevochnymi. For example, the preparation of the surface for painting or pasting requires the use of putty.
From the richest list of fillers, including glue and oil-glue, latex and acrylic, based on PVA, shpakrilovye, are chosen for certain jobs. Picking shpatlevochny composition, you can not forget about the primer. It must be applied before the ceilings are applied.
The primer layer is covered with a ceiling surface to create a strong coupling with the substrate. The need for application is explained by the fact that some fillings can not provide such a reliable adhesion. Apply primer to the previously leveled surface.
Fillers themselves can also be starting and finishing. As a rule, starting compounds have a density of sour cream, are applied to level relatively large differences and seal holes and damage in the ceiling.
If necessary, these compounds can be applied repeatedly with interruptions to drying and the use of special reinforcing meshes, which eliminate the formation of cracks. Such a special ceiling filler with video clips is available on our website.
Finishing putties are slightly lighter, they are applied over the starting ones. Applying them can be preceded by priming. Such a finishing putty ceiling can bring it into perfect condition. However, attempts to level the ceiling with the finish putty will not give results. Apply such a compound can only be a thin layer. Of course, it will completely repeat the profile of the surface, which is applied, its purpose is to give the ceiling a smoothness.
How is the puttying of the ceiling for painting - thorough preparation of the surface
Many manufacturers produce sets of shpatlevochnyh systems, including primers, fillers( starting, finishing, universal, facade, etc.) on homogeneous substrates. This approach greatly simplifies the technology of puttying the ceiling, the choice of compositions and the performance of work. By the way, for high-quality performance of work you need not only to correctly select the formulations, but also to attend to the choice of the appropriate tool.
And here it is necessary to do without a mixer( it is convenient to mix it with a nozzle for an electric drill), steel spatulas( at least two: wide and narrow), graters and poluterka. On the grater should be filled with a layer of felt, and the length of a half-rack - up to a meter. The primer is easy to apply with rollers or a wide brush( a pair of rollers of different widths and corresponding brushes).The mentioned tools, which are used for laying the ceiling, video clips are presented during operation and operation.
The process of puttying itself is not complicated. But the ceiling is exhausted thoroughly - because the hands are constantly raised, so it's obvious. Considering, for example, how the puttying of the ceiling is made for painting, it is necessary to start by removing all old coatings. The layers of whitewash, stains are removed, the layers of dust and dirt are cleaned.
Overhangs and bumps up to two centimeters are removed. Depending on the base of the ceiling, you can do it with a hammer, a perforator and other tools. At roughnesses from five centimeters it is necessary to think of a ceiling from GKL on which subsequently it will be possible to get experience shpaklevanija.
For those who expects puttying the ceiling with their own hands, video materials recommend the use of primers with deep penetration and apply them with the help of paint rollers. Moreover, for this you can use long telescopic handles, which will save energy. The use of these primers degreases and protects the surface from fungal and mold formations.
Ceiling puttying technology - work with
surface Now it's time to dilute the starting putty. She, as already said, should resemble thick sour cream. At first, with a trowel, all cracks, holes and openings are embedded in it. The composition should dry completely.
Complete coverage of the entire surface area with the starting putty is carried out by a half-hammer. The mixture is gently spread with a layer of up to a centimeter. Thicker to smear is not meaningful, it is better to let it dry and where it will be necessary, grease. Dry the starting layer will be from eight hours, depending on the conditions in the room.
If the result satisfies, you can proceed to the final putty. Better "finish" spread with a wide spatula. The layer should dry out, and then its first grinding is performed. It is made by typewriters or skins on a bar.
With some dissatisfaction, you can apply another layer of finish putty, followed by drying and grinding. But if all the preliminary steps have been carried out with due diligence, after the first grinding the surface is ready for final finishing.
