What materials are needed?
To protect wood from atmospheric precipitation, sunlight and the possible occurrence of fungi, it is better to use a complex application of finishing materials from the company RENNER( Italy).Necessarily need antiseptic, mastic for the ends and the paint itself. Experts recommend the use of a water-based material as a finishing coat.
In what order should the coating be applied?
In the first stage, an antiseptic is applied. Since this coating is rather liquid, it can penetrate deep into the wood to create an extensive protective layer. He will protect the tree from white rot, fungi, blue.
Next apply to the ends of the mastic. This zone is most susceptible to moisture absorption. The coating applied to this area creates a protective layer that prevents water from entering.
Because the antiseptic is not a stable coating, it can be washed out by the rain falling on it. To prevent such an undesirable consequence, the finishing layer is used. It is recommended to apply in 3 layers.
Painting technology of a wooden house outside the
To paint the wooden house from the outside with your own hands passed quickly and without problems, and the result pleased for many years, you need to properly prepare the surface. For this, wood is polished.
It allows to level the surface and remove the old layer( grain sizes of the grinding machine should be from 80 to 100 units).The quality of the polishing depends on how deeply the antiseptic penetrates, because during the grinding work pores of wood are opened.
Further antiseptic is applied. This will require a brush. When applying it is impossible to leave untreated areas, the entire surface is abundantly wetted by the solution. Dry this layer will be approximately 3 hours. When it dries, you need to treat the wood to remove pile.
This need is due to the fact that the nap in this situation will perform the functions of the capillary and hold the water that has fallen onto the wall inside. If this happens, the paintwork materials will begin to peel off.
The next step is applying the mastic to the ends. In its density, the material resembles liquid sour cream. Brush it with a brush and then spread it over the surface. How to do it, you can look at the video. The mastic will dry for about 3 hours.
In the end, the main paint material is applied. For convenience, it is better to pour it into a small container. Application of the material on a water basis goes to 2 - 3 layers. So many layers are required to protect the defense for at least five years. Between each application it is necessary to dry the surface. The drying time is at least 2 hours. If you choose the final material RENNER, then as the application of each subsequent layer the wall will change before the eyes.

The main mistakes in painting a house made of wood
First of all, this is an incorrectly selected material. When using oil-based paints, houses in difficult climatic conditions do not look good in a couple of years. After a varnish under the influence of the sun and frosts exfoliates and slazit whole chunks. As a result, wood remains defenseless and it is necessary to paint old wooden houses from the outside again, including all stages and work, including grinding.
If the paint was only used antiseptic, it will last no more than six months. Then it is washed off and leaves the surface without protection.
Painting a house under the scorching sun should not be, because the paint material under such conditions is poorly absorbed. As a result, a crust is obtained, and the penetration depth of the antiseptic decreases from 3-5 mm to 1 mm.
