We have all heard about textured plaster more than once. What is texture paint? It also belongs to the family of decorative coatings that help create surfaces with a unique structure. How to use it correctly and what are its advantages over conventional paint – you will learn from our article.
Facade textured paint for walls – what is it?
It is a water-dispersed paint, it contains a thick filler, which allows you to obtain a surface with one or another relief.
You can use decorative textured paint for walls both outside and indoors. Due to the presence of an acrylic binder in the composition, the paint is completely impervious to atmospheric and other influences.
Among the advantages of such paints is the absence of solvents in their composition, which minimizes the harm to health when working with it. This paint is applied in a thick layer, but does not lose its vapor-permeable properties and does not become a barrier to moisture, thereby ensuring normal moisture exchange in the room.
Compared to conventional facade paint, textured wall paint is more wear-resistant and is not afraid of mechanical damage. The only negative is the high consumption, since the paint is applied in a layer of about 1 cm.
Painting walls in an apartment with textured paint
All walls must first be treated with a deep penetration primer. There is no need to try hard to level them, since the paint will hide all minor irregularities.
Once the primer has dried, you can begin applying. Depending on the composition of the paint and the tool used, you will get one or another result. The possibilities for using post-application processing techniques are unlimited. You can use a brush, spatula, roller or sponge to get the desired result.
In terms of their aesthetic effect, these can be textured wall paints of various types – bark beetle or another type with an inherent ability to transform after application, with a luminescent glow, as well as multi-color (multicolor) paints. Classic options allow you to create any relief and add any color to them to obtain the desired shade.
As a final fixing treatment, after 48 hours, decorative wax, acrylic enamel or varnish can be applied to the walls.
