We decorate the plinth, close the gap with the
putty. Before asking how to paint the ceiling skirting, you first need to fix all the cracks and irregularities. The surface must be prepared. To do this, putty is used. Mixture for it is necessary for small, that the structure has got in all joints and seams. Also taken into account is how smooth or uneven the wall is. If the surface is not ideal, then choose plaster filler( for example, Rothband ).
In the case where the base is more or less even, and there are only small cracks, the usual fine-grained filler is suitable. Use in the process of work a typical spatula, and the movements are carried out vertically. Thus, the relief of the skirting board itself is repeated and that is why the joints at the joints will not be visible. It turns out a kind of "single" plinth. Further, the coating is allowed time to dry. And at the last stage it is sanded with sandpaper.
Painting ceiling skirting board
First you need to decide on the color. It is better to choose a shade under an existing one on the surface. For example, it can be a white or black ceiling skirting board. Further, tools and materials are prepared, and a mixture is mixed for painting( preferably if it is acrylic water-based paint).There is also a skirting ceiling color( for those who want to create a special interior).In the process you will need: a brush, a paint tape, a spatula, a paint, directly the plinth.
Before the start of the ceiling and wall glue paint tape. This is necessary in order not to stain the existing coating with a new shade. In the event that the paper wall paper is applied to the wall, it is possible not to attach the adhesive tape, in order to avoid damage to the canvas( so that they do not come off).Only have to divide the painting into two stages: first apply the composition to the place near the ceiling, and then gently along the walls. In doing so, take a wide spatula and join it with the wall( paint along it).Thus, the spatula can only become stained.
Note! In some cases, users are faced with such a moment as the hydrophobicity of the plinth. What does it mean? That is, the paint can collect in droplets and drain. In such situations, it is necessary to pre-ground the substrate or even more carefully to treat it with sandpaper.
How to paint ceiling skirting with the help of glazes?
In addition to standard painting, there is also a technique for applying with glazes. It helps to achieve the effect of "old times", "shabby gold or silver," "wood," "stone."In fact, the glaze is a kind of tinting composition that is applied to the surface from a spray or a can. The mixture is blended with a tampon, brush or any kind of cloth. There are several application methods:
- The "dirty stone" effect means copious application of light TAIRE first, and then the creation of "dark spots" with the shade of Umber , which is properly shaded. Further, only small strokes are made with the help of the same dark glaze. At the last stage, when the coating dries, a bronze glaze is used.
- The effect of the "old tree" can be created on conventional plastic and other skirting boards. To do this, a strong glue is applied with a strong pressure of the hard brush. Then a more fine brush draws a strip( creates an imitation tree).At the final stage, the surfaces are allowed to dry and a pattern is blurred by a soft brush.
- The effect of "gilding" is created with the help of gold, silver, metal glaze and a thin brush. It is up to her to apply the compound.
- The effect of "malachite" is done with the help of green paint, which is abundantly shaded with a swab over the surface. Next, small dark spots are drawn, at the last stage bright veins are created. To ensure that they easily lie on the surface, this glaze is preferably diluted with water.
