Usually, the owners do not pay much attention to the windowsills, completely not considering them full -fledged design objects. All that they do with these narrow panels under the windows are used as a stand for vases. But these products are different sizes and colors, performing a lot of functions in the apartment. Wooden painted window sills perfectly mask the old heating radiators, and if you make them as wide as possible, you can get an additional countertop in the kitchen or even a kind of sofa by a wide window. Naturally, they require protection against moisture and mechanical damage, which can provide high -quality painting.
What paint to paint the windowsill?
Modern alkyd paints that are produced on an oil basis have proven themselves. The decorative properties of such compositions are very good. Also, universal enamels are used for these works, but you need to choose them carefully, paying attention to the ecological product, otherwise the poisonous evaporation will spoil the atmosphere in your apartment for a long time. The painted surface should perfectly withstand moisture and be moderately elastic so that when dropping temperatures, the decorative layer does not crack.
There is another way than painting a woods from a wood – surface treatment with varnishes. In a modern interior, people try to, as far as possible, not hide the structure of natural material, but, on the contrary, highlight the beauty of natural wood. You can use oil compounds, alcohol and nitrolaki. After drying, such a varnished windowsill is not inferior in its properties to a painted product, serves for a very long time and looks quite stylish.
It should be noted that not only wooden, but also concrete, as well as plastic window sills, which are well painted well with various compounds, are subject to restoration. It is necessary to remove the old decorative layer using special liquids, sandpaper or construction hair dryers. Then the surface is leveled, treated with putty and cleaned again. It should only be remembered that for plastic products you need to buy primers, polyurethane and acrylic compositions in PVC.
