Any balcony can be a great place to relax. On the loggia you can arrange small winter Gardenand turn the balcony to turn into summer terracewhere it will be nice to meet the day after a cup of coffee. And how cool the warm evening goes to him with barefoot to admire the sunset paints! Warm, dry floor makes a balcony truly cozy.

Start with proper protection

IN multi-storey houses The plates of balconies are made of concrete. This is a porous material in which moisture penetrates easily. Frozening and thawing when temperatures drops, it leads to the destruction of the material. Add others to this external influences And abrasion - untreated concrete floors serve for a short time and quickly lose their appearance. Reliable protection Concrete floor is the first step to the cozy balcony.

For the floor of a closed balcony, protected from snow and rain, you can choose the paint from which high resistance to moisture penetration is required. However, if the balcony is not glazed, then materials with increased resistance to atmospheric influence are required - for example, a two-component epoxy coating for the Tikkurila balcony. In order for it better conclude with the substrate, a special primer varnish for the floor of the balcony is used.

In this section, you will find all the necessary funds for the Tikkurila balcony floor covering, as well as Tikkurila balcony floor primer facilities.

Before starting repairing a loggia, it is necessary to find out how to cover the floor on the balcony is better.

Balcony - place actively operated in household. Most want the selected floor coating material on the balcony complied with the following requirements: durability, reliability, beautiful appearance.

When choosing an finishing flooring for this attachment Experts recommend to take into account the fact that the loggia regularly occurs a large temperature difference and humidity indicator.

Factors influencing the choice of material for landscaping

The finishing coating on the floor for the balcony is selected taking into account, both aesthetic and practical considerations. So, for example, the contamination of this design has direct influence on the hygiene of the apartment. Especially if the floor is stacked on the open balcony. In this case, the question of choosing the finishing coating for an open loggia plays a decisive role in the purity of housing. The selected material for the landscaping of the floor must withstand both winter frosts and spring warming. The future of the flooring of the loggia should not be deformed from excess moisture.

Use atmospheric paints with marking "1". They are convenient for outdoor use. Applicable indoors with low or high temperature conditions.

Most. simple method relief wet cleaning The floor is the painting of the finishing coating of the weatherproof paint. However, it should be noted that in the balconies, especially open typeThe wooden floor device is rarely laid. Pain in the same cement surface paint is inappropriate, because after a couple of years such a coating will again need painting. You can do it in one day. However, such a coating does not have a presentable look, although it performs its functions worthy. For painting the floor will be required:

• capacity;
• paint (depending on the parameters of the balcony);
• tassel either roller;
• diluent or Olife (depending on the recommendations of the manufacturer of paint);
• gloves (if necessary).

Linoleum - Economical Option for Glazed Balcony

Linoleum, like a floor covering, enjoys considerable success due to its durability and relative strength. Modern linoleum is beautiful, muffles the steps, easy to use, has sufficient thermal insulation.

Some households believe that it is better to make the floor on the balcony with a linoleum than at the expense of paint. After all, such a coating is well amenable to care. However, his big minus is a gliding during wetting. In this regard, the specialists of the construction company recommend glazing the loggia. Compared with paint, linoleum is easily careful. However, even the most qualitative material this type does not stand the temperature differences and very coldy. Because of the falling under the linoleum of water, he starts to rot. As for the installation of such an finishing, the linoleum is easily and quickly stacked. Unlike painting gender, linoleum requires the preparation of the foundation. To do this, it will be necessary to draw the following steps: Align the base, to project it and give time to dry. After that, you can proceed to the new screed and primer work.

Linoleum is attached to a clean and dry surface, usually in one piece, if it allows the configuration of a balcony or loggia. After the flooring after 10-15 days, the linoleum will completely straighten.

Next, the linoleum will need to spread and give it time for stretching. Specialists are recommended before mounting a linoleum to lay the Fanoire. It will allow the finish flooring, how to "breathe" and not absorb moisture. For such sex, the following tools will be required:

• roller;
• a vacuum cleaner;
• level and metal line;
• big scissors;
• brush with soft bristles;
• putty knife;
• vinyl adhesive tape;
• dry floor screed.

Ceramic tile and porcelain stoneware, what is better?

Ceramic tile is a great way to make an open balcony terrace. But in this case, you will need to purchase ceramic tiles With a rough surface and high frost resistance. At the same time, glue for this material and grout for seams should also have similar properties. Specialists of construction companies know the ceramic tiles. Make this job more difficult than to lay linoleum or paint the floor.

Ceramic tile tolerates various atmospheric effects, does not break and does not bend like linoleum. Such floors with confidence can be called reliable and durable, if properly approach this issue.

This will require the following inventory:

• slab
• building level,
• mixer and drill,
• capacity for glue,
• putty knife,
• bulgarian with dryness
• diamond spraying crowns
• rubber spatula for grouting seams,
• crossings.

Stop the tile on the floor of the loggia is better on the stretched thread. At the same time, the edge will be necessary to make an indent to one row. Baptists for tiles are better to buy according to its size. In the process of installing the first tile, it is necessary to check that it lay down in each diagonal, both across and along. The two following tiles are stacked near the ladder. They also need to be monitored by level. When laying subsequent tiles, carefully check their level is no longer required. Porcelain tiles are great for the improvement of an open loggia in areas with a harsh climate. This material has the maximum density and lack of a porous structure. It is perfectly withstanding frost to - 50. ° C and heat to + 50 ° C. This coating has high strength and wear resistance.

The surface on which laying of porcelain stoneware or tile will be made, must be smooth, strong, without cracks and contamination, freed from materials that reduce its agidesevity.

Stacked the porcelain stoneware as the method as floor tiles. But, unlike painting, the foundation will need to align. Next to the floor and the glue is superimposed on the tile. It is necessary to choose it with the acquired porcelain tile. As for the inventory, it will take: to improve the floor of the floor of the flooring

• capacity,
• drill and mixer
• spatulas
• slab
• roulette, level,
• rubber hammer.

From materials it will be necessary to purchase porcelain stonewares, cross, primer for the base, grouting for seams, tile glue, silicone sealant.

Decong and Carpet - Pros and Cons

Deoping is a durable and lightweight material that is made of solid wood breeds either wood-polymeric composites. The quality of Decing does not have a negative effect of precipitation and temperature fluctuations. Supply such a device is easily, as Decing is presented in the form of modular structures that are fixed with each other similar to the constructor. You can set such a floor to lag. Unlike tiles, Decing light material.

Benefits of the application of Decing ( terraced board): lightweight and fast installation, smooth surface, easy care, big choice Coloring, high-quality imitation of wood of various breeds, including valuable.

For this, the following tools will be required:

• level;
• chisel;
• a hammer;
• screwdriver;
• tracker;
• ruler and pencil;
• screws, nails;
• wedge.

According to experts, laying carpet better on a glazed and insulated loggia. However, it is necessary to put this device only on a flat surface. Double deviations should not exceed 4-5 mm. IN otherwise The reason must be aligned, and carpet to withstand on the balcony for three days.

Carpet is able to organically fit into any interior design. It provides pleasant tactile sensations. it perfect solution In the case when the loggia is construed into the rest room or the office.

To lay this material The following inventory will be required:

• roller;
• tool for cutting the plinth from carpet;
• kickker;
• iron for docking carpet pieces;
• double-sided tape;
• influenses;
• glue.

There are other types of materials used for the landscaping of the floor on the loggia. It is better to choose the finish coating in each case individually.

Specialization: Master in the construction plasterboard structures, finishing works and styling outdoor coatings. Installation of door and window blocks, finishing of facades, installation of electricians, plumbing and heating - for all types of work I can give detailed consultation.

Painting the balcony is the cheapest version of its transformation, so if you want to refresh this part of your home, then this article will help you spend your work qualitatively. I will tell you what formulations need to be used for different surfaces. We will also deal with how to properly prepare the surface so that the compositions lay as much as possible and kept as long as possible.

What nuances you need to figure out before the start of work

Balconies and loggias - structures that can be very different from each other, even if they are located nearby, their interior decoration can be completely different. Accordingly, the technology of work has been changing.

Therefore, before starting any actions, you need to identify several important aspects:

Type of construction	If you have an open balcony or loggia, you will have to use only weather-resistant paints. If the design is insulated, then work will not differ from those produced in the apartment
Purpose of repair	In order to simply refresh the appearance of the surfaces, you must minimally prepare them and paint them. But if you want to get a more attractive result, you may need additional work: sealing irregularities, plastering surfaces, etc.
Types of base	On the balcony you can meet the most different types Materials: from brick and concrete to wood, plastic, drywall and metal. Naturally, each of the options is painted in its own way, and below I will tell you in detail about this aspect.
Types of work performed	There are two main options - external and internal workAnd they differ very much from each other. When staining the outer surfaces, it is important to comply with safety techniques, and also remember that the color of the facade should be the same on all balconies. Inside everything is easier, because you can choose any color gamut, the main thing is that she liked you
Surface condition	This factor does not affect the painting work directly, but it determines the preparatory activities. If you want to do everything in the best way, you may need to complete shuttering or finish facing material, as well as the fill of the screed or self-semon. These operations are carried out in advance so that the compositions are completely dried.

Work is best to spend in warm weather without precipitation, optimal temperature ambient - from 15 to 25 degrees. If you have a balcony insulated, then inside you can work almost at any time of the year.

Types of foundations and features of their staining

Now we will deal with different options Materials that are used in the construction and finishing of balconies and consider how to paint them correctly and what formulations are best used. I will talk about those options, in the reliability and quality of which I am confident, and which do not represent difficulties in use.

Metal constructions

In open balconies, metallic railing is most often installed, also often for outdoor decoration A profiled sheet is used, which over time can lose attractiveness and require staining. To begin with, we will understand which paint need to be applied:

• In order not to lose a lot of time on thorough surface preparation and do not apply the primer layer, the easiest to use the special compositions "3 in 1", which include soil, anti-corrosion additives and paint itself;
• The composition quickly dries, it lies well and has a wide range of colors, which will allow you to purchase the most suitable option for any balcony;
• Consumption on average is 200-300 grams on square meter. As for the cost, then qualitative paint You can buy at a price of 300 rubles per bank 0.9 kg. If you have a railing, then for the convenience of their staining, you can use the composition in aerosol packaging.

Now we'll figure it out with the workflow:

• The surfaces first need to be cleaned, after which it is bad for corrosion and sites on which the old coating is poorly held;
• Then you need to remove the old paint where it holds badly, if you wish, you can remove the entire layer, but it will take a lot of time and takes a lot of effort. All corrosion foci must be cleaned as closely as possible, it is probably the most important aspect all the preparation, because even the special composition will not save from rust if you do not remove all the layers;

• If a professional owl is painted, it is also necessary to clean it, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to remove the elements, but most often work right in place. Even if there are no rust on the surface, it needs to be treated with shallow sandpaper to new paint better lay on the surface;
• Before painting the railing or a professional owl, be sure to degrease the surface. Wipe it with solvent or gasoline, it will allow you to get rid of fine particles of fat, as well as dust, which inevitably settles on the surface. This operation must be carried out directly before coloring;
• Often the question arises - how to paint all the surfaces outside? There may be two options: the first suggests work from the inside, you need to insure with the help of a rope and, having frightened through the parapet, paint the surface from the bottom-up, the second way involves the use of forests, it is safer, but it is not always possible to use it in high-rise buildings;

• The composition is applied either with a brush or roller, it all depends on the type of surface. Staining is best done in two layers, the composition is necessarily mixed before use, if necessary, you can add a little solvent (all information is written on the package).

Coloring of brick, concrete and plastered surfaces

This type of foundations occurs very often, which is not surprising, because multi-story houses Earlings from plates and bricks. Normal grey colour - Not the best background for a cozy balcony, but even if the surfaces were stained, over time they fill up, and the composition begins to crack, so it periodically needs to be updated.

As for the paint, I advise you to use facade acrylate compositions, they are perfectly lying on concrete, and on plaster, and on a brick and have high resistance to humidity and ultraviolet radiation. Additional plus similar compositions are that they are produced in white, and you can give them any shade with special pigments.

The price of the compositions is about 800 rubles per pack of 4.5 liters, about so much needed to the middle balcony when staining in two layers.

Now we will deal with the workflow, it begins with preparatory eventsand they differ depending on the type of base. We'll figure it out with the most common options:

• If you have brickworkIn the first place it is necessary to clean the surface from the solution, the particles of which most often remain when laying. Also, to improve the appearance, it is necessary to clear the seams if they are inaccurate, that is, it makes sense to fill them with a solution and align, work is simple, but will require a lot of time, because you will have to treat all seams on the walls. After drying the solution, its remnants are also erased from the surface;

• Concrete walls need to be cleaned of dust and garbage and carefully examine on the existence of cracks, if any, then they must be seal cement mortar. I also recommend checking the plane using a level or smooth rail, often it is uneven, in this case it is advisable to spend plasteringsince the paint will allocate all flaws;
• Watching surfaces are prepared as: first the surface carefully examines if there are cracks on it, then all such sections need to catch up. If the sound is ground, it means that the finish penetrated and it must be deleted. If everything holds firmly, you can simply close the cracks using a plaster solution.

If when preparing the grounds you noticed the foci fungus or mold, then you need to eliminate them. For this, the black flare is carefully removed (if it is on the plaster, it is better to beat it off and apply a new composition), and then the treatment with special solutions, which will destroy the spore fungus and protect the surface from its re-occurrence.

Now we will understand how to paint these surfaces with your own hands. The work is quite simple, it is important to fulfill all the recommendations:

• First of all, with the help of a broom, it is necessary to clean the surface from dust, and a vacuum cleaner can be used for these purposes;
• The surface is covered by the strengthening primer composition, it is desirable that antifungal supplements in place. The composition is applied in one layer, try so that the entire surface is covered completely. Too many primer to apply not worth it, do not leave on the surface of the sublifting;

• You must decide in advance, in what color to paint the balcony, and purchase either the finished composition, or the basic white paint and a special pigment, with which you yourself will give it the desired shade. When choosing a specific option, you must take into account the color of the remaining elements of the situation and the furniture used;

If you are preparing a certain shade yourself, but you need to interfere with the pigment immediately in the whole paint that will be used. Manually cook the same shade is almost impossible.

• Painting inside with your own hands is made either by means of a roller if the surface is smooth, or with the help of a brush if you have a brick wall, since it can be applied to all seams. If you have a paintopult, then it makes up the process even more, but it is most often no such equipment, because it is mainly used by professionals. When painting, apply the composition evenly, avoiding the formation of sublishes;

There are more options, how to decorate the balcony: You can paint the brick in different colors, then you will get very cheerful motley. The seams in this case are made dark or light to emphasize each element even more. As for smooth walls, you can make lines or patterns on them using a painting tape and also paint the surface into different colors.

Separately, it is necessary to consider how to paint the concrete floor, because this surface is exposed to high loads. In this case, I advise you to use polyurethane formulations, as they have excellent abrasion resistance and very long retain an attractive look.

The preparation of the floor does not differ from the preparation of other surfaces, the main thing is what should be remembered is that it is necessary to paint from the far corner towards the exit so that you can get out of the balcony, not coming on the painted floor.

Tree painting, plywood, chipboard and fiberboard

These materials are very often used at interior decoration Warmed loggias, because with their help you can quickly transform space and make it comfortable. First of all, it is necessary to figure out which paint is better to paint a balcony inside if it is decorated with materials based on wood, everything is simple: use compositions on an acrylic basis, they can be both matte and glossy and cost inexpensively - liter will cost 200 rubles.

As for the workflow, it consists of their stages:

• First of all, it is necessary to clean the surface from pollution, all stains need to be removed. If there are elements that hold unreliable, they must be consolidated, it is important that the surface is durable and clean;
• The putty is made using acrylic composition, which is characterized by good strength and plasticity, which simplifies work. The process is simple: you need to prepare the required amount of the composition and fill them with all irregularities and damage. If, after drying, the putty squinted a little (this is the norm), then you need to apply another layer;

• Next you need to walk on the surface emery paper with small grain, if you have smooth materials, then this stage can be skipped;
• The primer allows you to protect the surface from moisture and strengthen it. For additional reliability, I advise you to use acrylic-based formulations with the addition of antiseptic components. The work is done like this: one layer is applied, after its drying, the surface is checked on the subject of the raised pile, if there are such sites, they need to be cleared, then apply another layer;

• After drying the soil, staining is performed, the composition is prepared as recommended on the package and applied to the surface. After drying the first layer, you need to apply the second to ensure a more uniform color and even better protect the material from adverse effects.

You need to still figure out what kind of paint is better for the floor of the tree or chipboard, there is no usual acrylic option. Acquire special compositions for these purposes, on the bank there is always an indication that they are intended for the floor and have increased wear resistance.

Coloring of plasterboard

This material is also often used when finishing insulated structures. Naturally, it is better to use a moisture-resistant option, since the balcony of temperature and humidity drops is still greater than in residential roomsAnd the usual can start swing.

There will be no question of how to paint the balcony inside - in any store just a huge selection, but I advise you to buy not the cheapest option, but to choose a more kind solution. Personally, in such cases I use formulations on a latex basis, they are resistant to moisture, and the surface can be wiped with a damp cloth, which allows you to maintain perfect purity on the balcony. Liter of good paint costs about 190 rubles.

As for the preparation of surfaces, it makes no sense to describe the process of putty and alignment, there is a lot of materials on this topic and there is no point here. I will tell you about the option when you already have finished Wallwhich was previously painted, but the coating has already burned down or began to crack and depart.

The workflow consists of several actions:

• First of all, it is necessary to clean it from dust and dirt and inspect for damage and cracks. If there are damaged areas, they need to sharpen, often in the process of operation on the surface there are scratches and recesses from blows from different objects;
• Priming - mandatory part of the workflow, especially if you paint the wall in another color. Soil will allow close old layer And improve the adhesion of paints. Without priming, you may need to paint the wall 3-4 times until it becomes a monophonic, with the soil you will handle both two layers;

If you want to apply a light paint on the wall, which was previously dark, then I advise you to add about a quarter of white paint to the primer to make the surface much lighter.

• Now we will understand how to paint the balcony, it is best to use a roller to use, since it will be distributed as much as possible along the entire surface. For angles and adjoints, narrow brushes can be used.

I want to talk about how to work on staining in two or more colors. To do this, you need to apply first basic layer The required shade, after which, with the help of painting tape, make stripes or any other figures. Further required sites Coloring, and then the painter is removed, and you get the desired result.

The required painting inside the balcony premises is a very responsible stage. finish finish. Consider all the advice and recommendations for its successful conduct.

General requirements for paints

For different types surfaces of walls and painted building materials Finish suitable different paints. But when selecting paints of a certain brand to work on the balcony, the following are taken into account general requirements To her:

• Bought paint should be intended for external work, have an acceptable shelf life. The goods must be certified and have a proven bona fide manufacturer. With the first visual inspection after opening the tank, there should be no clots or lumps in the paint.
• Paint should not be allocated toxic harmful substances During work and after drying. For residential or frequently visited balcony premises, this condition is very important and obligatory.
• The material is desirable to select steady to high humidity. This concerns cool and fully insulated balconies, where humidity indicators depend on weather conditions and the likelihood of condensate formation during temperature drops is large.
• The stability of the paint to the ultraviolet will allow longer to preserve the surfaces attractive appearance and not to fade in the periodic exposure sun ray.
• For glazing balconies and leaving him window Operactions Usually used frame structures from PVC. Selecting the composition for painting, take into account the possibility of its easy removal when accidentally hitting the frame without damage. Facilities to remove paint should also not be aggressive to the surface of PVC profiles.
• For painting of house walls overlooking the balcony, it is desirable to use vapor-permeable "breathable" materials. As a result, the walls will stop drinking moisture and dance.

Features of painting different surfaces

Painting preparation, choice paintwork and the fulfillment of the main work has its own rules and nuances for different species surfaces (internal and outer) balcony rooms. Consider the procedure for the most common surfaces.

1. Profiled sheet

Such material is facing the outer side of the parapet and sidewalls of the balcony. Professional property is sold already painted. Repeated painting required formerly in the exploitation of the material on which traces of corrosion appeared, scratches, or in the case of a solution to change the color. For convenience and high-quality work, sheets are pre-dismantled. Preparation includes: stripping rust sandpaper; surface cleaning with solvent from dirt and oil spots; Spipelification of visible dents and scratches; Primer after drying putty. Now we paint the surface with a spray gun. A brush will help in uncomfortable places. Recommended material for metal surfaces - varnish with polyurethane, epoxy, alkyd or acrylic basis.

1. Panel-PVC

Preliminary preparation plastic panels Painting is very simple. All surfaces are wash from dirt and degreased with alcohol or solvent (selected chemical compositionwhich is harmless to plastic). For painting most appropriate acrylic paints and aqualak. Not afraid in the sun, they are distinguished by resistance and ease of care. On the balconies of the sunny side should not use dark paints. Heating, painted panels can be deformed and partially lose their operational properties.

1. Plates-chipboard

For a previously colored product, with cracks and peeling, it will take the removal of an old paint layer. Will help in this special bow, construction Fen, grinding machine or sandpaper. A high-quality old coating is sufficient to stall with fine-grained emery paper. The next step is cleaning from dirt, dust and degreasing by a solvent that does not leave the slide of the residual film (acetone, White spirit). Now the queue of application of two layers of deep-perky primer. After its final drying, proceed to painting.

Recommended paints - acrylic, oil. Acrylic are not toxic, quickly dry, have excellent adhesion to various materialsmay be with decorative effect (fluorescent, pearl, metallic colors and others) are available in aerosol cartridges. Oil coatings are good protection of chipboard From humidity. Their disadvantages - no vapor permeability, while drying have strong nasty smell (Before drying, the balcony premises need to be tired, and the entrance to the apartment and the window to keep closed).

After drying, the paint is recommended to apply on surface chipboard Lacquet layer (2 layers can be 2). The stove covered with varnish will now have a rich and deeper color. Varnish coating is also an additional protection against wear.

1. Wall of bricks

We begin the preparation of the surface from stripping from pollution and influx malanted solution. It is convenient to make a metal brush with a spatula connection. For accuracy, masonry seams can be additionally covered. If the walls remained old paint. - It is completely removed grinding machine, large sandpaper or metal brushed. You also need to check the brick wall for the damage to the fungus or mold. If the inspection result is positive - it will take a stripping of the affected places and processing the whole wall with a special impregnation.

Breasting a brick wall - then apply paint

1. Concrete wall

Preparation of the surface to work includes all preparatory stagesas before painting brick wall. The difference only in recommended paints for the main coating. For concrete surfaces Wall and parapel The most suitable paints are made on silicate and plastic based. Outdoor painting Must be done in suitable weather (dry, not very sunny).

1. Wooden lining

This surface requires very thorough preparation. The tree needs to be protected from fungus and insects, make less fire-hazardous material. For this apply special impregnations with antiseptics and antipyren. All noticeable defects are aligned with a special putty on the tree, and roughness is cleaned and polished by sandpaper.

For painting, you can choose:

• Acrylate paints. The resulting coating is elastic, waterproof, not cracking, resistant to precipitation and temperature jumps, does not fade from bright sunlight, long retains shine and original color.
• Oil colors - durable, cheaper, water-repellent material. Over time, they flexible, the process of painting and drying accompanies a strong poisonous smell.
• Acrylic aqualaks - safe, non-toxic, vapor-permeable, non-combustible materials.
• Alkyd varnishes are resistant to mechanical effects, deeply penetrate and emphasize the natural structure of the tree. Disadvantages - long dry with the release of strong odor, have low wear resistance.

1. Plasterboard

The shelves of plasterboard sheets and fasteners are sealed with polymer putty. Ground water-soluble compositions. Color plasterboard water-emulsion paint Minimum in 2 layers.

• If the walls of the balcony premises are not monophonic, try to simultaneously combine up to three different color shades. Black I. white colors In the calculation is not taken.
• Paints of dark shades and tones are not suitable for balconies and loggias of the sunny side. Dark walls absorbing sunny energywill quickly heat up. If the air temperature at this time is significantly lower than heated wall, then the probability of condensate appearance is large.
• For the outer painting of the balcony, pick up colors into the tone with the facade of the building.
• The weather also affects the quality painting work. With the rain or high humidity, the paint dries very long and not evenly. Rounding droplets on fresh paint of the outer side of the balcony can spoil the appearance and mood of the owners of the balcony. With the heat, the paint is very quickly grasped and does not have time to spread evenly over the surface.
• Primer under the main paint is preferably tinted in the color of the finish coating. After such training, there will be no places with a thinner layer of applied paint.
• In the process of painting, different sections of the surface are comfortable to paint different tool. Therefore, it does not hurt to have rollers, sprayer and brushes of different sizes.
• Before work, you need to make sure that the color or tone of the paint corresponds to the presentation of the final result. For this, paint is applied to little plot Surfaces. When it snacks, you can make the final conclusion about compliance.
• The quality of painting speaks homogeneity of the color on the painted surface. It's not difficult to achieve this. In order for the consistency of the working material, the homogeneous and particles of the dye have not seen at the bottom of the tank, the paint must be mixed thoroughly not only before applying, but also periodically during operation.
• The necessary paint, primer and varnish is recommended to buy from one manufacturer. Such materials are fully compatible, which will have a positive effect on the quality of painting work.
• Do not forget to use the passionate film and painting tape for the protection of adjacent surfaces that will not be painted.
• For painting walls of brick and concrete, it is better not to use oily paints. Not being a vaporonic material, they become the cause of unwanted moisture accumulation. The result of increased humidity is the defeat of the material of the wall by microorganisms and its premature destruction.
• Tales wooden lining require very careful treatment with preparatory compositions and paint.

The right choice of paint, high-quality surface preparation for operation and neat painting will allow for a long time to forget about updating the walls of the balcony. It remains to switch to other cases. On the balcony now you can relax, and not work.

This is a popular material for internal and exterior decoration premises. Due to the environmentally friendly and ease of installation, loggias and balconies are often separated by clapboard. However, many owners who decided to give their balcony a presentable appearance, interests than and how to paint the lining on the balcony and loggia and can it be done at all.

Painting Lining on the Balcony

In order to extend the life of wooden lining, protect against mold and, before painting it should be covered with an antiseptic. However, first of all, it is necessary to clean the surface of the lining from dust and dirt. Remember that paint and varnish can not be applied to dirty surfaces. Then, if necessary, we clean the possible chips and sinters, which appear in the installation process and cover with any kind of antiseptic in two layers. There are special primer antiseptics that significantly prolong the deadlines wooden productsCovered with paint or varnish.

Now you need to give the coating well dry and you can proceed to the finish painting of the lining. An acrylic varnish or aqualak is best suitable for covering from the lining. The latter dries very quickly, so you need to paint the entire surface from top to bottom. If you do in parts, there may be ugly stains in the locations of the layers. These coatings perfectly protect the tree from ultraviolet and moisture.

If your balcony is glazed, you can use water-based varnish. Such a varnish will prevent the darkening of the wooden lining, will retain its natural hue. It is absolutely safe for people, there is no smell and dries quickly.

So that the loggia or balcony was not knocked out from general interior Apartments, you can paint the walls in any color suitable for general design. For this, oil, alkyd and facade paints. Today, it is often used for painting clapboard inside the balcony or loggia of the semiam paints made on a water basis.

There is another kind decorative coating Wallowka - impregnation with a verse, which perfectly emphasizes the texture of the tree, and the impregnation on the basis of wax can be used on outside balcony.

Toned varnish or paint is applied with a thin layer, watering a brush or roller from top to bottom. After the coating is good, you can apply another layer of paint or varnish.
