There is no significant difference in the compositions of decorative coatings and other painting compositions for walls. The only difference is that the decorative mixture is thicker and contains some special additives.

Using regular paint, it is more difficult to achieve an original coating, much less an imitation of various textures. For creating interesting effect

it is necessary to use special technologies for applying a conventional coloring composition, when the decorative composition allows you to create an interesting coating without much effort.

Using a decorative mixture, you can paint the surface to resemble wood, silk, velor, metal, and so on. This effect can be achieved by special additives in the finishing material and a solvent used to dilute the coloring composition. The solvent contains a special plastic element.

The special composition changes the properties of the coloring mixture as it dries, resulting in the formation of different patterns on the surface.

The decorative coloring composition has quite a lot of advantages.

Like everyone else finishing materials, decorative paint has its drawbacks.

The disadvantages include:

• Careful surface preparation before painting. Most types of decorative mixture must be applied to absolutely smooth walls. The surface preparation process can be quite labor intensive.
• Paint does not increase the level of sound and heat insulation.

Kinds

The number of types and methods of classification of decorative paint is quite large.

All mixtures of this type can be divided according to the method of application into the following groups:

• For exterior finishing walls;
• for interior decoration.

It is worth noting that some formulations are suitable for repair work both indoors and outdoors. Based on composition and some special properties, there is another classification of decorative paints.

Alkyd

Alkyd mixtures include oil and enamel paints. Suitable for both interior and exterior decoration. Such mixtures have a rather pungent odor and take a long time to dry, so they are most often used for painting the exterior walls of buildings.

The advantages of this material include wear resistance and moisture resistance. Also, this paint is not exposed to direct sun rays and does not fade. The disadvantages of the material are poor resistance to alkalis and fire hazard.

Suitable for painting work on wood, as well as for metal and plastered surfaces. Before use coloring composition diluted with turpentine or drying oil. If the paint is used for interior decoration, the room must be well ventilated before painting. This promotes good adhesion of the paint composition and the surface being treated. For application you can use a roller, brush or spray gun.

Adhesive

As a basis glue mixture water is used. Additionally, such paints may contain polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose, casein and starch.

After painting, this material forms a porous surface, which promotes good air exchange (the walls “breathe”). However, if the humidity is high, mold may form on the surface.

This finishing material is usually sold in the form of a powder, which must be diluted in water before use to obtain a coloring mixture.

There are several types of adhesive mixtures:

• Casein. When this material is applied to concrete, brick or plaster, a matte surface is formed, the strength of which only increases over time.
• Dextrinated. Contains bone glue. Has a low level of moisture resistance.
• Polyvinyl acetate. This type of paint is mainly used for finishing the ceiling. The mixture is very sensitive to moisture and may wash away completely over time. The advantages of the material include low cost and light resistance.

Water-based and emulsion

The basis of this composition is water, binding elements and pigments. When applying paint to a surface, the water contained in the mixture evaporates, which leads to the formation of a polymer film.

After the walls are completely dry, they can be washed. Moisture on the surface does not penetrate into the coating, but simply evaporates. Such paints are fireproof, do not peel off over time, and are easy to apply.

In turn, water-based coatings are divided into:

• Acrylic. The composition includes acrylic resins. One of the most popular types of paint. It is characterized by high strength, moisture resistance, elasticity and wear resistance.
• Latex. High quality paint. This color mixture can be applied in one layer. The finishing material does not fade in the sun and is resistant to various external influences. The disadvantage of this paint is its high cost.
• Silicate. The composition of such mixtures includes liquid glass and color pigments. This finishing material is quite durable - its service life can be twenty years. After application to the surface it forms protective layer. Protects wooden surfaces from fire. Ideal for exterior finishing walls

First, a base layer of adhesive (a component of flock paint) is applied to the wall. Then flocks are applied to the surface using a special gun. After the paint has dried, the surface is coated with acrylic varnish.

Mosaic

The material contains granules different colors and sizes. Thanks to its granular structure, such a coloring composition can fill small unevenness in the wall. Easy to apply. There is no need to carry out complex procedures before application. preparatory work surfaces.

With special effects

Textured paint has a special application technology, which involves the use of special tools. To finish the walls you will need a texture roller and a shaped spatula. Relief paint can imitate a wide variety of textures.

Disadvantages - weak resistance high temperature(fire hazardous) and alkaline environment, the need to dry the surface to be treated before starting work.

Water-based paints can be used with various dyes (pigments), and painted colored surfaces do not change color after contact with water (moisture does not penetrate inside - it simply evaporates). The advantages of the finished coating include fire safety, the absence of toxic components and the ability to maintain an optimal microclimate.

If you decide to purchase inexpensive but practical decorative paint for walls, it is recommended to buy an adhesive-based coating.

Reasons - incorrect ratio of components or their mixing leads to the formation of stains after drying (white, heterogeneous, salt), cracking. The main advantage of the adhesive material is the formation of small pores on the surface: the coating dries quickly and allows moisture and air to pass through.
