Usually, painting work is planned for the warm season, when the temperature regime is most favorable for this. The lower recommended temperature threshold for painting is plus 5 degrees. But now there are many modern paints and soils that are suitable even for negative temperatures. In this regard, the minimum possible limit at which temperature you can paint on the street has changed.

Features of painting work in winter

In industrial conditions, the need for painting when low temperatures arises if you need to hand over the object on time, or you urgently need to update the surface of the building. In everyday life, such urgency is rarely observed, but it still happens. There are a number of painting features in the cold season:

1. The most unfavorable temperature for applying paints, enamels and primers in winter is from minus 5 degrees to plus 5 degrees. Even in cold weather, it is better to work, because it is in the specified range that condensation will form on any surface. In the presence of moisture, the adhesion of the coating deteriorates greatly, the properties of the paints change. The quality of the coating is reduced, it will not last long.
2. If you decide to paint facades in cold weather, you need to remember - facade paint any brand dries 2-3 times longer than in heat. To get a high-quality coating, you need to use a thermal gun for drying or stretch the film on scaffolding.
3. You should choose only enamel suitable for the winter season, a primer. Using the wrong material will cause it to freeze, and the ice will not allow the product to be applied to the walls. The final result of the work depends on the quality of the paint.

A number of modern paints are perfectly applied at zero temperature and in frost, some can be applied down to -20 degrees. There is good means resistant to temperature extremes. It is important that the temperature of the paintwork material during operation was a plus. If the material is cold, it is placed in a container in a bucket of warm water.

In the rules for the operation of the primer and paint in cold air, mandatory surface preparation is mentioned. Cannot be applied coloring materials no specific action:

• clear working area from the old coating;
• treat the surface with a sandblasting machine, sandpaper or in another convenient way;
• close up irregularities with putty;
• if technology requires, carry out priming (walls should be primed if indicated by the manufacturer on the package with paint).

You can not work if it is raining or snowing - you need to wait for the onset of normal weather. It is necessary to carry out staining with a roller, brush, but it is better to forget about the spray gun - its nozzle will quickly clog.

The most important thing is to make the surface clean and dry. You should also bring the enamel to the desired viscosity. Usually water-based paints are used, which are diluted with water. It must be remembered that alkyd materials sharply increase their viscosity in the cold, and do not forget to dilute and heat them up in time.

Priming work

In winter, a primer is used that is resistant to low temperatures (frost-resistant soil). If iron is stained, special phosphating compounds are used. They can be applied over rust, as they include special anti-corrosion components. Priming gives additional protection against corrosion, increases the adhesion of the final coating.

Painting the facades of the house

Conducting outdoor facade works winter possible with choice correct paint. After cleaning from dirt, dust, the walls are sanded, if there are areas of old paint or mold, they are removed. Next, the walls are primed with a product of the same brand with the main paint - this will improve the quality of the coating. They work with packages brought from the heat. As soon as the material begins to freeze, it is removed into heat, another package is taken out. The second coat of paint is usually applied after 3-5 days.

Painting bricks and surfaces with plaster

The coloring of such surfaces does not differ from that of the facades of the house. It is only important not to do the painting immediately after the masonry is completed - the work is postponed, the minimum period is a year. If you paint immediately, the coating will peel off. Surface preparation is required (cleaning with a brush from dirt, dust, mold). The chipped plaster is cleaned, the holes are sealed, and allowed to dry well. You can also fill deep holes with frost-resistant silicone sealant. After priming, the wall is allowed to dry for 5-7 days, then it is painted with a roller or brush.

Concrete processing

Concrete floors and walls are porous surface. Also, the outer side of concrete products weather faster and the dye of the coating loses its brightness. Concrete staining can be done a year after installation, this is necessary so that part concrete dust volatilization. In some cases, it is possible to paint surfaces without curing - for example, in a workshop, in a warehouse, in a hangar.

Metal processing

In winter, it may be necessary to paint pipes, garage walls, iron sheathing of sheds, profiled fences, etc. The metal does not absorb moisture, so it does not change properties depending on the climate. For painting work, use special formulations for metal - at sub-zero temperatures, they form a strong elastic film.

Tips for painting metal in winter:

• the surface must be dry, clean, free of rust with abrasive tools;
• if there is frost, the surface is treated with a flash gas burner- a brush or scraper will be ineffective;
• preliminarily carry out degreasing with isopropanol, acetone.

Wood painting

It is not recommended to paint wood, products from fiberboard, chipboard, lining in winter. If the house is wooden on the outside, it is better to leave its coloring until the warm season. Water accumulates between the fibers of the tree, which freezes in frost. The structure of the material expands, and the paint applied from above seals it in this state along with the ice. After thawing, the water begins to push out the paint, the latter does not stand up and goes in bubbles. Also under the enamel rotting of the tree begins.

If staining is urgently needed, a test is done first. Stick adhesive tape on the surface with a wide strip, leave for 2 days, then remove. If there is condensation on the tape, do not paint. With a dry strip, staining can be done after preliminary priming.

Painting work indoors

Painting a house inside during cold weather is much easier than doing outside work. But the specifics of painting must be taken into account.

Balcony

Painting a balcony or loggia in an apartment in winter may be required during the sale to improve the surface of walls, ceilings, and floors. The most difficult thing is to tint a cold balcony - it is better to wait for the positive temperature and only then carry out Painting works. If absolutely necessary, you can purchase paint that can withstand low temperatures, wait for a sunny day, make sure that the walls of the loggia are warm enough, and paint.

Coloring is carried out only in the morning - the coating will dry faster due to heating sunbeams. If there is an outlet, you can take out a heater to the insulated balcony, this will allow you to carry out work efficiently. Good for balcony acrylic water-based formulations- with their use, poisoning can be avoided, they are environmentally friendly, odorless. These colors enhance thermal insulation characteristics walls, allow them to "breathe", fade and collapse very slowly. If there are plastic or metal parts on the balcony, it is better to varnish them. The lining is covered with acrylic varnish.

Batteries

Painting a battery in winter has a number of features. To paint the radiator, you need to prepare a brush with metal bristles, brushes - simple and radiator with a long handle. You will also need sandpaper, dust brush, knife. Be sure to purchase a primer for metal, paint, solvent. The basic composition must necessarily be suitable for radiators and contain anti-corrosion additives, be non-toxic. Best suited means:

• acrylic;
• alkyd;
• water-dispersion;
• silicone;
• based on heat-resistant varnish;
• zinc.

How many degrees can these enamels withstand? They are designed for a standard temperature of +80 degrees. Some are available in aerosol form - they are sold by spray can, and even the most difficult colors can be easily painted by spraying. hard-to-reach places. Batteries for painting are best removed by shutting off the water supply. If this is not possible, it is worth waiting until the batteries are turned off in the spring. Hot batteries will be painted poorly, the coating will often swell. After cleaning the surface, it is primed, sequential painting is done in 2 layers. Each layer must dry completely.

Window

Coloring wooden windows in frost outside it is undesirable, as well as other wood products. Only the use of heat guns will make it possible to dry the product well, but the complexity of the work will increase significantly. From the inside, painting is carried out in the same way as it is done in warm weather. old paint need to be removed, primed the surface, then apply suitable composition. Plastic windows you can also paint with special paints if you want to update their color.

What colors are used in winter

Enamels and primers, which are used at low temperatures, are diverse. Their properties:

• do not freeze in the cold;
• suitable for different types materials;
• can be operated at temperatures up to -10 ... -20 degrees;
• form an elastic layer;
• Dries faster than regular paint.

Water-based paints

This type of paint is most in demand in winter. Very popular are the products of Dufa and Batilith, Dulux and Tikkurila, which produce many types of corresponding paints and varnishes. Good frost-resistant paints are produced by the German company Caparol. A number of manufacturers produce frost-resistant water-based paint AK-115, which can withstand up to -20 degrees below zero. Other known materials:

• parade f20;
• Lacra;
• Alpa Façade;
• primer Brite Professional;
• Vincent Muralith F1.

Oil paints

Oil materials are now almost not used. In terms of properties, they are much inferior water-based paints, their service life is not more than 2-3 years. It is necessary to dilute the funds with drying oil, special solvents. Only some paints marked PF, MA, GF are suitable for working in the cold.

Aerosol paints

Enamels in cylinders are used, for the most part, for painting batteries, cars, plastic products. They are quite expensive, but they create a high-quality coating. Popular brands are:

• maxi color;
• Colomix;
• dupli color;
• vixen.

Most paints of this type can be used down to -15 degrees.

Storage temperature of paints and varnishes

Generally, the allowable storage temperature is indicated on the packaging of the material. According to GOST, paints and varnishes can be stored at a temperature of -40 ... + 40 degrees, but individual conditions may exist for each specific material.

Any work in the cold is not comfortable, and if possible, it is better to postpone metal painting and carry it out in the warm season. What to do if the winter cold has already come, but all the planned work has not been completed on time during the warm period, and the metal structures located on the street have not been painted?
There is an opinion that it is impossible to paint on the street in winter, or it will not work, however, it is erroneous and irrelevant. To date, developed many paint materials which can be used in any weather.
For painting metal surfaces in winter it is possible. For their application, the temperature range from -20 to +35°C is permissible. At the same time, on the quality of coverage and ease of implementation painting work even the presence of moisture on the metal surface does not affect.

If it is not possible to postpone painting the metal until warmer weather, some factors must be taken into account.
First of all, they should not contain in their composition ingredients that freeze at a temperature not lowered to -20 ° C.
It is necessary to completely exclude the use of alkyd and other coatings that increase viscosity at low temperatures.
To remove the frost covering the metal, it is necessary to treat the metal surface with the fire of a gasoline or gas burner. It is not recommended to use brushes and scrapers, because after their use the surface is not completely cleaned.
Before applying the primer, it is important to degrease the surface with acetone or isopropanol.

When carrying out painting work in winter, a special frost-resistant primer is used to prime the metal surface, and it is necessary to select the composition for this type of metal.
Priming provides corrosion protection and improves the adhesion of the finish coat.

If necessary, using a special brush, before starting work, the surface is thoroughly cleaned of loose rust and dirt that create irregularities.

The consumption of anticorrosive paints and varnishes for painting metal surfaces in winter is the same as in warm weather. All materials intended for application at low temperatures are fast drying. The finished coating does not react to precipitation within an hour after application. So, at air humidity of 80-95% and temperature of -15°C, the time of complete drying will be 2-3 hours.

The service life of the coating applied at low temperatures is up to 10 years, subject to painting technologies.

Should I paint the fence in winter?

What to do if the outside temperature is below 0°C and you need to paint a metal fence.
When the temperature changes, the metal does not change its structure, does not absorb water. At elevated temperatures, the leaf fence may stretch a little, and when cooled, it returns to its shape. , intended for painting metal, adapting after application, form an elastic film on the surface.
For painting metal fences in winter, enamels are used that are designed to work at low temperatures. Required properties possess alkyd paints based on solvents that do not change consistency at low temperatures.
Paints for metal can also be used to paint wooden surfaces.
Surface before painting metal fence dried and degreased with special means.
For painting, not a cold, but a warm coloring composition with a temperature above 0 ° C is used.
If a lot of time is required when painting large structures, then the paint container is placed in warm water to maintain the desired consistency of the composition.
Special enamels designed for painting metal in winter dry from 1 to 3 hours, and ordinary ones - from 3 to 7 days.

Effective enamel, intended for use in winter, do not freeze in frost, are suitable as for metal and for wood, combine anti-corrosion, anti-fungal and fire-fighting properties, even in extreme weather conditions form an elastic coating layer, dry quickly compared to conventional coloring compounds.

Carry out painting of a metal fence and other metal products possible in winter. The main thing is to choose the right one to properly prepare the surface. On each package of the product there is always information about the method of application.

The industrial and construction complexes in our country do not take breaks for the winter, which means that the paint and varnish industry must also meet similar requirements. Although most enamels and lacquers require application at temperatures above 0°C, modern technologies allow the production of a number of materials suitable for dyeing in the cold season.

Regardless of the material, which is selected depending on the needs, the application itself at sub-zero temperatures has a number of features.

First, an important factor when painting in the cold season is surface preparation. If metal is to be painted, then it is necessary to thoroughly clean it from condensate and ice. And since in most cases brushes and scrapers cannot be handled thin layer frost, it is recommended to additionally heat the surface with a torch of a gas burner.

Secondly, painting at temperatures from -5°C to 5°C should be avoided, since it is in this temperature range that condensation and dew form on the metal surface. To avoid moisture condensation, the temperature of the surface to be painted must be at least 3°C ​​above the dew point.

Thirdly, in winter period it is expedient to degrease metal surfaces with acetone or R-4 or R-5 solvents.

Fourthly, even if the manufacturer allows painting at temperatures below 0 ° C, such weather conditions cannot but affect the drying time of the coating - compared to the indicators indicated in the quality certificate, it will increase by 2 or even 3 times.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the storage of enamel - regardless of its composition, it should be stored exclusively in a warm room, in the future the surface to be painted and the paint should be at the same temperature. If possible, the surface to be painted must be warmed up.

The choice of paint and varnish material also needs to be approached very seriously, because the final result depends on this choice - the durability and functionality of the resulting coating.

Paints and varnishes that can be painted at low temperatures:
