Technology of painting wooden products and surfaces. How and how to properly paint a wooden house (outside)

A wooden fence encloses a private area from prying eyes and protects the property from the intrusion of strangers. However, in addition to the aforementioned practical functions, the design must also meet minimum aesthetic requirements. By the appearance of the fence, people can judge those who live or work behind it. Painting a fence is the most affordable and easiest method of ennobling a tree.

Why paint a wooden fence?

Before processing wooden poles for the fence, you need to figure out why you need to paint them at all? The point is that the fence natural material exposed to all sorts of negative impacts from the environment.

It is important to know that no matter what durable wood species is used to build a fence, without proper processing it will not last long - up to 7 years.

An unpainted structure will lose its original properties much faster, as it will be more sensitive to:

air humidity and precipitation, which can cause swelling and decay of the material;
attacks of bark beetles, which will undermine the wood from the inside and make it fragile and unattractive in appearance;
the spread of mold or moss on the surface, due to which the boards and fence posts will quickly become unusable.

All of the above reasons are a solid reason to paint the fence in a timely manner and protect it from adverse natural factors.

What paint is suitable for a wooden fence?

To find out what paint to paint a wooden fence, you need to take into account it. various characteristics such as durability, ability to withstand mechanical damage, resistance to sunshine, precipitation, heat differences, compliance with environmental requirements and adequate cost. On modern construction market you can find a lot of compounds that will help not only keep the organic material in its original state, but also give it a special charm.

It is worth noting that if the fence will rest against the ground and in any way contact the soil, then for the bottom of the boards you need to additionally purchase a special paint, the basis of which is bitumen. Such a composition will protect the wood from dampness and microorganisms living in the soil.

Typically, the following types of coatings are used for painting fences:

alkyd enamel;
oil-based paint;
acrylic composition;
antiseptic solution.

Acquisition alkyd enamel, important components which are polyhydric alcohols, various acids and other fillers, will be very economical. The low price makes this type of paint the most popular among buyers. However, judging objectively, for processing wooden planks alkyd enamel is not very suitable because:

the coating quickly fades under the influence of the sun's rays;
does not tolerate temperature drops;
about a year after staining, the composition begins to crack, which negatively affects the appearance of the fence;
due to defects that have appeared, water begins to get under the paint, which can lead to rotting of the material;
enamel partially corrodes wood itself;
the fence will have to be re-treated quite often.

Oil paints are better for decorative work. The fence processed by them will be resistant to the aquatic environment and temperature changes. In addition, the oil-based composition will prevent the spread of fungus on the wood. Like enamel, this type of coating is inexpensive. Of the negative properties of oil paint, one can distinguish it pungent odor, long drying time and fading in the sun. In addition, if the owner of the fence after a while decides to renew the coating, he will face the problem of removing the old layer.

Special acrylic compounds for wood hold the first position as the material most suitable for painting the fence. positive characteristics of this paint can be called resistance to adverse natural factors, as well as the ability long time keep the original color. If you first additionally treat the wood with a primer from the same manufacturer as the acrylic composition, then the coating will not lose its properties for a long time.

An interesting point: the color of the paint will be more stable if the manufacturer himself initially added pigment to it. In the case of self-mixing acrylic to obtain the desired shade, the durability of the color may be in question.

Some prefer to use antiseptic solutions. A fence coated with a disinfectant is protected from pests, mold and other microorganisms. Covering antiseptic compounds will evenly color the wood, and glazing will preserve its natural appearance. However, it should be remembered that such solutions are very toxic. Therefore, precautions should be taken when working with them, avoiding contact with the skin and trying to protect the respiratory tract.

How to paint a fence?

Having decided on what paint the boards will be processed with, it remains to purchase necessary tools. These include a roller or paint brushes(which is better to buy different sizes for uniform application of the composition), rubberized work gloves, fabric flaps.

If the fence is just being installed, then it is recommended to paint it horizontal on the ground. It is advisable to put something under the wooden blanks so as not to contaminate the recently applied layers, and there are no random lumps of earth or parts of plants on the tools. It is recommended to paint from the top of the board, gradually moving down.

An important point: in order not to engage in frequent updating of the coating in the future, it is worth pre-treating the wood with a primer. Thus, staining must be done in two stages: 1) applying the base; 2) work directly with the color composition.

Not everyone likes bright shades, some would dream of keeping natural look wooden boards. This can be achieved by painting the fence with a glazing antiseptic or special varnishes, which will only slightly change the color of the material and make it glossy. It is worth considering their individual varieties:

alkyd varnishes - the most common and high-quality coating for processing fences;
varnishes on water based(acrylic) - the most environmentally friendly composition, but not entirely suitable for work on outdoors, it is better to use for wood finishing indoors;
nitro-varnishes - resistant to adverse weather changes, but very toxic, require work in a respirator;
polyurethane varnishes - after drying, they have established themselves as a very durable coating.

Repair work with this composition should be carried out in the warm season.

Pay attention to the brush with which the fence will be varnished. It is desirable that the villi on it be made of natural, organic material, then the layers will be even and smooth.

Fence painting is best done in the second half of spring, summer or early autumn when the temperature is stable and there is no frost. So best solution will wait for a more favorable time of year.

However, if it becomes necessary to carry out work in the winter, then the following rules should be observed:

the most suitable compositions for repairs in the cold - latex and styrene acrylic paints ;
it is desirable to apply the composition of two containers, so that one of them is indoors, warm, and the other outdoors, and use them alternately. Cold can change some of the properties of the paint, and in order to maintain its characteristics, you will have to change jars every 20 minutes.

It must be remembered that frost-resistant formulations should not be used when interior decoration rooms. The chemical components present in such paints can undermine the health of the inhabitants of the house.

Having become acquainted with the main criteria for choosing coverage, taking into account important nuances when carrying out repairs, you can independently carry out the processing of the appearance of wood.

Impregnation of wood with oil

The video shows the processing of wood with a mixture of compounds from various manufacturers. At the heart of the composition linseed oil, supplemented with UV filters, pigments.

How to paint a tree, it is worth choosing according to its breed and environment. After all, only material that does not respond to temperature extremes and high humidity is suitable for external surfaces.

What paint is better to paint a tree, we will deal with you today. Also on the video and photo you can get additional information you need.

Before choosing a paint for processing wooden surfaces, it is worth considering the following aspects:

The type of wood from which the surface for painting is made. For example, for internal works deciduous trees are used. Bearing structures, as a rule, are made of coniferous.
The conditions under which the operation of wooden structures will be carried out. Will, for example, the processed product be in the conditions high humidity, or in constant contact with the ground.
The possibility of preparing the surface for painting, methods of pre-treatment.
Is it possible to re-process?
Are the topcoats compatible with previous primers or topcoats?

Attention: How to paint a tree on the street is significantly different from internal surfaces. Here it is better to choose a dye that does not have a water base in its composition.

Types of paintwork materials

LKM are conditionally divided based on their scope, as well as their appearance. To processing materials wooden products include not only the paints themselves, but also a variety of impregnations, primers (see), varnishes, putties.

Using paint alone, it is difficult to achieve a coating that will please with its reliability and long term services. Only by correctly choosing the impregnation, paint, primer, and also by combining them as expected, you can achieve the desired results.
Not without reason, most manufacturers present whole complexes of coatings - various primers, primers, enamels, the instructions for which indicate how the surface should be treated in order to prepare it for painting.

Based on externally visible signs, paintwork materials can be divided as follows:

transparent coatings;
dispersion paints;
opaque enamels.

Transparent dyes

Transparent coatings include protective glazes, various impregnations and transparent varnishes.

So:

The composition may include a variety of components that determine the future color of the product, emphasize the natural wood structure, as well as substances that protect the treated surface from ultraviolet radiation.
The advantage of these coatings is their high vapor permeability, which allows moisture to naturally evaporate from the painted product. The material covered with a transparent varnish receives additional protection against destruction and ultraviolet radiation, ages and wears out more slowly. After one or two years of operation, it is desirable to re-paint the treated surface, while removing the previous layer is not required.

Attention: Such paint in spray cans for wood is sold quite often, but its price is much higher than in the canned version. Therefore, for large volumes of painting, a spray can is not profitable.

Dispersion coatings

The popularity of dispersion paints is gaining momentum, today they are in great demand.

Attention: The solvent in such paints is water, and acrylates or their copolymers act as binders.

Coating products with similar dyes, you can achieve their high water resistance, long-term preservation of the acquired color. In addition to everything, products painted in this way have absolute vapor permeability, frost resistance (because after drying aqueous solvent evaporates).
An important requirement for the storage of acrylic paints: it is unacceptable to store dispersion dyes at negative temperatures. The fact is that the water included in the composition freezes, which leads to delamination of the paint or the loss of the main important properties.

The binder components in dispersion coatings are often the following:

Acrylates– ethers acrylic acid or its salt.
Alkyd resins- high-viscosity sticky products synthesized due to the interaction of polyhydric alcohols and monobasic higher fatty acids in the presence of carboxylic acids.
Synthetic latexes- emulsions of dispersed polymer particles in aqueous solution.

Attention: Acrylic is widely used for all types of work. Such paints can be easily mixed, tinted, obtained with their help an extensive color scheme- at least two thousand shades.

In addition, they are easy to handle, they can be applied in several layers. For application, it is permissible to use a brush, roller or sprayer.

Good acrylic paints are very durable, with an average life of 5-9 years, but cheap (less than $2/kg) dispersion dyes usually do not have this advantage and are not economically justified. Re-painting is done as the wood products age.

Opaque enamels

After the appearance on the market of the main competitor - acrylic dye, the use of traditional opaque enamels has been greatly reduced. But the demand for them is still quite high due to good quality coverage and ease of use.

Despite these advantages, opaque enamels are quite toxic and, moreover, highly flammable. Alkyd coatings are in consumer demand due to their low price.

The features of alkyd coatings include:

High hydrophobic properties	Protection against water is due to the appearance of a thin but durable film covering the processed product: due to the rapid drying, the dye practically does not penetrate into the wood. But such a film is not durable.
Low vapor permeability	Products coated with alkyd enamel practically do not react to changes in humidity. For this reason, for painting elements that should not be deformed under the influence of moisture, they are painted with alkyd paints.
Application feature	Enamels are applied only on well-dried surfaces. If you apply enamel on untreated, wet wood, then soon bubbles will swell on the product, and the paint layer will subsequently peel off.

Acrylic and polyurethane varnishes and enamels are based on an organic solvent.

They are characterized by:

Elasticity and durability. The materials are resistant to swelling, peeling and flaking, to pollution and washing, adequately endure mechanical stress. The service life of processed products is increased by several years. Especially these properties are possessed by dyes based on polyurethane.
Toxicity of feedstock (isocyanates). It is for this reason that many people prefer to use alkyd or acrylic enamels and varnishes. After all, they also perfectly retain the brightness of the color and are not toxic.

Well-known types of coatings

Paints and varnishes in their composition are complex substances and are a mixture of several basic components: a binder (forms a film), a filler, a pigment-forming dye, a solvent.

In addition to the listed components, the composition also includes additional:

Nitro-varnishes	They are made on the basis of colloxylin nitrates (cellulose). Area of application: often nitro-varnishes are the basis for the manufacture of nitro-enamels. Coating features: high flammability, low water resistance, ultraviolet pass through.
Nitroenamels	They are made on the basis of nitro-varnishes. Area of application: most often nitroenamels are used to cover wooden furniture, processing the smallest elements. Have high flammability
Acrylic paints	Solutions of polyacrylates or their derivatives in organic solvents or in water. Area of application: for all types of work. Features: the coating treated with acrylic paint will have high moisture resistance, wear resistance.
Alkyd varnishes	They are based on alkyd resins, solvents and desiccants. Often the composition of alkyd varnishes includes additional impurities included to form a film.
Alkyd enamels	Made on the basis of alkyd varnishes, they are distinguished by their versatility, high wear resistance, abundance and brightness of colors in the palette. Alkyd enamels are universal, they protect products well, increasing their service life.
Oil paints	The main components of an oil-based paint are a binder (linseed oil) and a color pigment. They often include desiccants and surfactants. When applying such paint on the product, a quick-drying film is formed, which gives the product additional moisture resistance. You can buy either thickened or ready-to-use. In the first case, the oil paint will look like a paste, in the second - in the form of an oily liquid. But despite all the advantages, oil paints are losing their former popularity, becoming less competitive. For example, imported manufacturers practically do not produce oil paints.
Adhesive paints	Adhesive paints contain water-based organic polymers. Features: glue paints give coatings that are unstable to water. Area of application: almost perfectly fit on any surface and dries quickly.
Water-based (water-dispersion or latex) paints	Emulsion, which consists of water and pigment. Often, in addition to the main two components, acrylates, alkyds, vinyl acetates and other compounds are included in the composition. The peculiarity of such paints is the complete absence of pungent odors, and often do not have them at all.
Polyurethane paint materials	This is a large group of polymers. The main components are polyols and hardeners. Features: the product treated with polyurethane coatings will be absolutely non-toxic, with low vapor permeability. Area of application: polyurethane enamels are widely used in the creation of anti-corrosion coatings with a long service life. Varnishes are used to treat wooden floors, which, as a result, are unusually glossy, cover furniture and its decorative elements.
Polyester paint materials	Obtained from polyester resins of a linear structure. They can be applied with a sprayer, as well as with the help of brushes and a variety of rollers. They give the treated surface gloss and resistance to water. Area of application: useful in restoration work and during decorative trim wood products.

You can do all the painting work with your own hands and the instructions will help you in this matter. If you have big square, then it is worth using a spray gun. Then you can apply the layer more evenly and quickly.

If a cottage or a house in the village is not a permanent home, but only a haven for vacations and rare weekends, then there is no point in sheathing it with siding. The best and, importantly, economical option in this case is to paint old house with their own hands, and the work is not difficult and the money is intact. Of course, you will have to spend money, but not much.

What do you need to paint a house?

To paint an old house, we need:

paint (preferably alkyd enamel)
brushes (wide and narrow)
putty knife
sandpaper
metal brush
adhesive tape (construction)

How to start painting your house

Like all repair work, you need to start with the calculation of the material. It is necessary to measure the area of the part of the house that is to be painted. It should correspond to the area of \u200b\u200bthe walls minus the area of existing windows and doors.

Then calculate the required amount of paint for that. To do this is quite simple. All banks always indicate the figure of the average paint consumption per one square meter, which should be multiplied by the area of \u200b\u200bthe measured wall of the house. The result is multiplied by two, since at least two layers of paint should be applied to obtain a good quality coating.

How to paint an old wooden house outside

What paint to buy and what color to paint the house? To paint the old wooden house oil paint or alkyd enamel is best. It is still preferable to purchase alkyd enamel, although it is more expensive than oil paint, it has a longer service life of the paint layer, up to six years, while that of oil paint is up to three.

Concerning color solution painting your house, then as they say "there are no comrades for the taste and color." paint wooden house can be in any color you like. You can paint the house outside in one color or combine two or more colors.

How to paint a house - get to work!

The first stage is preparatory, perhaps the dirtiest and not very pleasant, but necessary. When preparing the surface of the walls before painting, it is necessary to check and replace, if necessary, fragments of the old cladding that have become unusable.

Then carefully remove the old paint with a metal brush, clean the walls from husks and dust. window frames and platbands, as well as doorways should be processed sandpaper. Then construction tape and wrapping paper (or, alternatively, old newspapers) come in handy, with which you can save window panes from getting paint on them.

How to update an old house - let's start painting

Before painting the house, it will not be superfluous to treat the surface with a primer, the paint will lie evenly, and the consumption will be less. After you have thoroughly mixed the paint in the jar, you need to immediately apply it to the surface of the wall, moving from top to bottom, using a wide brush. This is done in order to rub the flowing paint, preventing the formation of streaks.

When applying the first layer, it is desirable to use a paint of a more liquid consistency, which penetrates faster and fills minor damage and cracks. After a couple of days, the surface of the walls can be painted again.

And the final touch is to put in order and update the cornices, door and window trim. You need to paint these parts with a narrow hair brush, having previously cleaned them of dirt and dust. It is better to choose paint in lighter tones than the main color, or even in a contrasting color. At the end of the work, remove paper and tape from the windows.

How to paint an old wooden house video

Unfortunately, many people who dream of their own country house, very rarely think about the complexity of carrying out certain works. If they do start to think about it, then in most situations they are mistaken with the fact that they underestimate Finishing work concerning the facade.

In fact, this process is much more complicated than you might think. Of course, good physical indicators are not required for painting a wooden house, as, for example, for the construction of load-bearing structures, but there are still certain difficulties.

The fact is that problems arise already at the stage of choosing materials, because the answer to the question of what paint is better to paint a wooden house on the outside is not so simple.

As you might guess, not all people are wondering how to paint a wooden house right away. The point is that there are more modern options than paint for a wooden house outside. So, why are many professionals of the opinion that sometimes it is better to paint than to cover the wooden facade with some kind of finishing material.

The first and important advantage related to paint is its low price. Of course, it is best not to save on such things, but this advantage is very important, because people often spend almost all the money on the main work, and very little is left for finishing.

It should be understood that the method of painting the outer part of the walls will yield, for example, in terms of fire and mechanical properties, many materials intended for decoration. This disadvantage applies only to those situations when you decide to really save money, because the surface of the tree can be covered with fire retardants (they will cost you less than the difference in price). Data modern facilities help to make the facade completely non-combustible.

Among other advantages of paint, it should be noted that it is very easy to work with it. Even a beginner, after studying materials on the Internet, will be able to answer questions about how to properly paint a wooden house on the outside, how to cover the surface of the facade, that is, what paints can be done.

In fact, the answer to the question of what is the best way to paint a wooden house is difficult, since the building materials market really has a huge number of options in which you can get confused very easily.

Note! Regarding the choice of material, it would also be best if you consult a professional. The fact is that there are many criteria by which the choice should be made.

We cannot say: “Cover with such and such a paint” - because everything will depend, for example, on the climate of the region where you live, on your budget that you are willing to spend on materials, on old paint or some other finish (in in the event that you are not building a house, but are repairing its facade), from the material from which the house is made and from many other things.

Classification

In order to decide on the choice of paint, it is important to consider the main types that are most often found in stores. We will not consider how to paint an old wooden house on the outside of any of them. If you feel that you can not cope with the work, then contact the professionals.

Oily

Oil paints are cheap option, which was used very often in the recent past, but now there is a large number of alternative paints that have more preferred properties and characteristics. Here are their main advantages:

opportunity enough deep penetration paints inside the facade material;
a high level of resistance to changes in weather conditions.

But oil paints also have disadvantages:

you will definitely have to redo the surface, that is, repaint it, approximately every 5 years (this frequency can also depend on many factors, for example, on climatic conditions, an indicator of 5 years is an average value);
oil paint may fade after several years of use, especially if it is applied on the side of the facade where the sun hits;
this option dries for a relatively long time.

Acrylic

Acrylic paints are an excellent alternative that, despite being more expensive, has large quantity excellent properties, here are the main ones:

the paint does not form any layer, which is why the tree can "breathe" after it is applied;
after the paint has hardened, it will still be elastic, which will have a very good effect on the protection against cracking;
a beautiful appearance can be maintained for about 8 years, which is quite a lot.

Antiseptics

The last type to consider is antiseptics. Impregnations of this kind are used quite often in our time, and many experts equate them with paints.

A distinctive feature of this coating is that it protects the tree very well. Antiseptics work especially effectively on polished or planed wood. Experts note that antiseptics are good because they have the property of deep penetration, that is, the substance is firmly fixed on the surface of the facade.

Such compositions also dry very quickly, and only a few layers are enough for long-term protection. In most situations, two is enough, but some types of impregnation require a little more.

Despite all the characteristics, conventional antiseptics should be applied once every 3-4 years. Note also that there are special formulations, allowing not to renew the impregnation for 6 years. Of course, these options are quite high in cost, think several times before purchasing them.

Note! Many of the people who have never encountered the need for construction and finishing work will definitely not be able to apply paint on the surface of the facade on their own, especially since this requires additional preparation.

For this reason, we recommend contacting a specialist. It should be understood that finishing work will cost you much less than construction, so save on this special meaning no, but if you try to do everything yourself and fail, then the cost of acquiring new material will be much more significant.

There are also situations when a person is confident in his abilities, but he needs help with a choice. In this case, you should just consult with professionals, it is not at all expensive (relative to other costs). All such works differ significantly from each other depending on the specific situation.

Wood is a living material, so over time it begins to age and lose its original beautiful view. There are many reasons for aging: this and ultraviolet radiation sun, and precipitation and temperature fluctuations.

In addition, the building is constantly affected by biological threats: the tree can suffer from rotting and mold, it is destroyed by woodworms, blue stain and other pests. To update the appearance of the building, you can paint the old house with modern materials.

What tools can be used for old wood

There can be quite a few answers to the question of how to paint an old log house: it is important not only to create a new decorative coating, but also to protect the wood from further destruction by various threats. In this regard, painting an old log house means providing a multi-layered treatment using several types of products. For full protection at home you will need:

Antiseptics. These are deep penetration tools (up to 7 mm) that allow you to protect your home from decay, mold and other biological threats.

For an old house, they are simply necessary, as they allow you to restore a tree by removing foci of infection. The choice of antiseptics is quite wide, you can purchase European or Russian products.

Wood bleach. They are needed only if the logs have darkened over time and completely lost their appearance.

There are also quite a lot of such funds; Senezh Effo can be called as an example. They are expensive, so professional bleaches can be replaced with the usual "Whiteness" - a chlorine-containing composition can also give a good result.

Facade putties are necessary in order to completely close the cracks in the logs. The tree tends to crack when it dries out or during shrinkage, and if the cracks are not closed in time, this can lead to a decrease in the strength of the log and its bearing capacity. Putty will help close the affected area.
Training old wood before painting, the application of a facade primer is completed. This substance also penetrates deep into the wood structure, leveling the surface. If you pre-treat the wood with a primer, the paint will lie more evenly, and much less materials will be needed for painting.

When deciding how to paint an old house on the outside, it is better to abandon the glazing compositions, unless full pre-treatment with bleach is expected. Translucent colors only emphasize dark color old wood, which does not add beauty to the house at all. It is better not to spare the funds for a full restoration appearance building.

Types of paints for outdoor home processing

What color to paint the old house? After pre-treatment, the building will be ready for finishing painting, for which you need to choose the right composition. For the exterior treatment of a wooden building, the following types of paint compositions can be used:

Oil paints. This is a traditional option, which is now becoming less common. They are quite durable, the paint layer will last at least 6 years without serious changes, as they penetrate deep into the tree.

But they have a number of disadvantages: oil-based paint dries for a very long time, and the specific smell makes working with it very unpleasant. In addition, it is very difficult to apply it evenly: most often ugly streaks remain on the wood.

Acrylic paints - the most modern demanded option. They form an even layer with a pleasant sheen, such paints will make the wood truly alive.

At the same time, it will be very convenient to work with them, the coating dries quickly, and in the future it will not get dirty. It is acrylic paints that today can be considered the most profitable solution.

Alkyd paints are another popular solution. They are made on the basis of alkyd resins: the finished coating will have a water-repellent film, so the tree will be reliably protected from moisture. At the same time, such paints are also inexpensive, which will make them a very profitable solution.

Is it possible not to remove the old paint

A common situation: the old paint layer is cracked, but it will take too long to remove it. The question arises, how and with what to paint the house outside old paint and is it worth it.

In this case, you will need preliminary work to remove loose paint with a spatula, followed by grinding. Only after that it will be possible to proceed to a full-fledged painting.

How to paint a wooden house with old paint? The best way- use the same composition as the one that has already been used. If the walls of the house were covered with oil paint, you need to choose a similar solution, then the new layer will lie much smoother.

If there is no paint on any part of the wall, it is better to pre-prime the surface suitable composition. Acrylic penetrating primer can be used to prepare the surface for oil paint drying oil is used.

Proper surface preparation and painting will restore the old house to its beautiful appearance, and it will look beautiful again. Full processing will extend its service life and protect against any threats.
