The principle of the mixture or what is priming used for?
The use of primer blends makes it possible to prepare the machined surface as thoroughly as possible for further work. It can be plasterboard putty or, for example, plaster of a brick wall. We suggest carefully consider what processes occur with the surface after treatment.
The primer layer makes the surface less sensitive to moisture absorption. This process will be useful for high-quality wallpapering. On the wall-treated wall, the sheets will grasp much better. If you neglect the priming procedure before gluing, the glue will be absorbed much faster in the surface, which at times will increase the risk of falling behind the wallpaper from the walls.
The treated surface increases its strength, because it forms a solid film, which improves the coupling of the substrate and the applied material.
Warning! With a primed surface it is much easier to work, because during the process it is cleaned!
Having spent time on the primer, you will reduce the consumption of subsequent deposited materials several times. The secret lies in everything in the same thin film, which is formed after processing. It allows to reduce the consumption of wallpaper glue or, say, paint and varnish materials. This is especially nice news for those who are planning to use inexpensive building finishing materials.
Types of primer mixes
So, we figured out what the primer is for? Now we offer to consider its main types. It should be noted that at present a wide range of this dispersion is offered in the building materials market. So, among others, it is possible to note a primer for metal. This variety is similar to paintwork, but its properties are very different from those. In addition to the fact that such an emulsion creates a lower coating layer, it also promotes better adhesion with subsequent finishing materials.
There is also a special mixture for wood processing. Its main purpose is to maximize the life of the material. Thanks to the treatment, you protect the wooden structures from molds or fungi. Plus, you will save on the material that will further process the wood.
The most common commodity is primer for mineral bases. To such it is possible to carry plaster , a putty or paints. Pre-treating the surface with a primer mix, you will save yourself from cracks, divorce, and also strengthen the whole base several times. Among the suppliers of such products are Ceresit , Kapral and Aura .
Correct treatment of
walls In order to primely surface the surface, you will need a roller and a brush with a wide working surface. It is desirable to put the roller on the telescopic handle. If there is none, then you will have to get to the right place with a chair or a stool. Brush is needed for hard-to-reach places. Take care that you have a container where you can pour out the emulsion.
Tip! During the treatment, do not skip surface areas, since in such places the coupling with the finishing materials will be worse.
In case you notice that the mixture is very quickly absorbed, walk it a couple of times. When the work is completed, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the entire instrument and dry it. If this is not done, the primer will wither and further use of the tool will become impossible.
