No modern materials can replace wood and its products from our daily life, they are purchased and made by ourselves for pleasure and for household use. Wood itself, as a material, is fragile and short-lived, especially in comparison with plastic, but it is the most ecological in its effect on our body. Painting wooden products (also carpentry) aims not only to change their appearance, but also to preserve all their advantages over other materials.

Before you paint a wooden surface, you must, in principle, understand how to do it correctly. There is a certain technology for painting wooden products, and for this, specific types of paint and varnish compositions are used.

Before deciding which composition to cover the wooden surface with, they are determined with the ultimate goal that this operation seeks to achieve. Such coloring of a wooden product pursues several interrelated results in the end:

• Get a protective coating that extends the life of a wooden part or structure.
• To improve the aesthetic perception of wooden surfaces by emphasizing their internal structural pattern.
• To give an object, in the manufacture of which wooden parts are used, an updated appearance.
• Protect the joinery from the aggression of external environmental influences.

Only after deciding on the purpose of the painting work, you can choose how to paint the tree with your own hands.

Deciding on the type of coverage

Painting joinery requires careful choice of finish. An overabundance of the range, types and nomenclature of the compositions of the paint and varnish group of goods, rather, makes the choice more difficult than facilitating it. It requires an integrated approach to the specific decision on which product to stop at and what to purchase, how to paint the tree, and what the final product will be if you do all the work yourself.

Factors that must be taken into account without fail include:

• The type of wood and the state of its internal structure in the product.
• The goals that wood painting will bring, namely decorative, protective, aesthetic, design, etc.
• Depending on the final result, additional measures are determined, namely, pre-treatment with stain or impregnation is necessary.
• Taking into account the complexity of the configuration of the wooden structure and the ability to access the areas to be painted to select a convenient tool, such as a roller, brush, swab or spray.

Surface preparation

The condition of the surface to be painted dictates the conditions for the need for its pre-treatment. The following procedures must be carried out:

• Sanding to remove burrs, chips, scratches, protruding fibers and similar surface defects.

• Degreasing and dust removal to improve the adhesion of the surface to the applied paint composition.

• Preliminary application of impregnation in order to give the wood antibacterial, flame retardant (fireproof) and water resistant characteristics.

Material selection

The painting process may require the following tools and equipment:

• Actually, the compositions themselves (impregnations, paints, solvents);
• Brushes, rollers or paint sprayer;
• Spatulas of various widths;
• Hairdryer or chemical-based cleaning solution;
• Abrasive paper (150 units);
• Vacuum cleaner to remove dust residues from the surface.

In the process of pre-treatment of the place of painting, three groups of compositions can be involved - putty, impregnation and stain.

Putty for wood

The putties compatible with wood-based coatings include the following materials:

• Gypsum based(cheap in cost and therefore popular).
• Acrylic (expensive in price, but high quality).
• Polymer based(not cheap, but well compatible with wood).
• Nitro compounds (have a pungent odor, but are harmless when applied).
• Oil (have excellent protective properties).
• Adhesive based(made using PVA).

Impregnation

Before you paint the tree with your own hands, and after cleaning, degreasing and applying the putty composition, followed by sanding with abrasive paper, the time comes for choosing and applying the impregnation.

According to the place of application, impregnating materials are divided into internal finishing and for application to external structures subject to the influence of aggressive natural factors. Remember that furniture looks beautiful with painted panels, but it must also be protected from negative influences. Can also be dyed white. These are the basic precepts for painting wood.

Antibacterial substances are added to the composition of many coatings. In this case, the painted product will remain safe for a long time. By purpose and composition, impregnations of the following groups should be distinguished:

• Antipyrite. They create a fire-resistant or highly flammable coating, are created on a salt basis, are produced in liquid or powder form.

• Antibacterial. They create conditions on the surface and inside the wood fibers that are incompatible with the formation and development of fungal diseases, pests and their larvae, are produced in a liquid state, based on solvents.

• Oil. They are used for outdoor products, are compatible with other types of impregnating compounds, give the tree water-repellent properties.

• Lacquer based. They are applicable both for interior finishing coatings and wooden objects and structures that are constantly outdoors.

Depending on the structure and moisture of the wood, some impregnations are applied several times, but only after the previously applied layer has been absorbed and completely dried.

Having chosen the impregnation, and having applied it to the surface, you can proceed to the choice of the coloring composition.

On the video: how professional painting is carried out.

Paint and varnish

Painting a wooden surface with your own hands is quite easy, but for this you need to choose the right paint. Such compositions are divided into creating a varnish structure and paints with colored fillers. In turn, varnishes are divided into several types:

• Oil-resin (for example, PF238) for interior finishing with a high level of impregnating properties are used in furniture production.
• Alkyd-containing, which are based on desiccants, petroleum solvents and alkyd resins, are applicable for parquet, for example, PF231.
• Alcohol, they cover furniture products, they are used in cases where it is necessary to paint wood while maintaining texture.
• Alkyd-carbamide varnishes a wide range of applications, for example, MCh063.
• Two-component epoxy have high load resistance, applicable for floor, doors, window frames, have impact-resistant characteristics.
• Acrylic urethane used for interior decoration of bath rooms and saunas, multicomponent polyurethane - for external protective coatings. They are also characterized by increased anti-atmospheric properties.

A wide range of paints is conventionally divided into the following groups:

• at the place of engagement for interior finishing and for use on products that are in the open;
• according to the final result into protective, decorative and protective-decorative;
• by chemical composition and components.

In turn, according to the chemical composition, varnishes and paints are acrylic-containing, alkyd-containing and oil-based.

Let's take a closer look at the best way to paint a tree. So, for example, acrylic-containing paints belong to the water-based emulsion group, their basis is water, therefore it is an environmentally friendly product in which acrylic acts as a binder. There is no smell, so this paint on wood (sometimes translucent) is used indoors, gives the wood a pronounced protective properties.

How to paint wooden products with water-based paint? The paint can be applied to the surface by means of brushes, foam or rag rollers, as well as by spraying through an airbrush. One coat is sufficient for painting.

Alkyd-component paints form a protective water-repellent layer, but have low penetration into wood fibers, and, as a result, a short period of use, although they are highly frost-resistant. Oil-based paints are exclusively domestic material, since they are not produced in other countries due to the use of toxic oil-containing compounds in the manufacture. A painted surface with an unpleasant odor and strong fluidity leads to a constant decline in demand.

An exceptionally detailed consideration of all factors affecting the quality and durability of the coating and the wood itself leads to the fact that the coloring of wood products ultimately has a positive result. Therefore, paint for wood should be chosen wisely. Consider whether your surface can be painted, how to putty it properly and how to paint it, including with transparent paint.

The selection of compositions for coloring wood should be made taking into account a number of important factors. A competent choice of paint will guarantee the long-term operation of wood products and structures.

Wood is one of the best materials for the construction of private houses, interior finishing work, the manufacture of a variety of furnishings and products used in everyday life. Natural wood has a chic appearance, is environmentally friendly, it breathes and saves heat well. The duration of the service life of any wooden structures and surfaces directly depends on how well and correctly they will be treated with special paints and varnishes (LKM). The latter must be chosen taking into account:

• Types of wood used. The painting of coniferous wood structures is carried out by some compositions, from hardwood - by others.
• Possibilities of reprocessing a wooden product painted with a specific paintwork material.
• Operating conditions of buildings and surfaces made of wood (high humidity, exposure to sunlight, and so on).
• Compatibility of the selected paint with coatings, primers applied earlier.
• Methods of preparing products for dyeing.

As you can see, figuring out how to paint a tree is not so simple. Now on sale there are many different types of coatings. They are divided into three main groups - transparent compositions, dispersion coatings, opaque enamels. Under the first understand all kinds of impregnations, protective special glazes and varnishes without color. Transparent coatings are used to protect wood from ultraviolet radiation and emphasize the natural wood structure.

Transparent coatings emphasize the naturalness of the wood structure

Dispersion compositions provide increased water and frost resistance, vapor permeability of processed products, as well as the preservation of the color of the latter for a long time. The solvent for such coatings is water, and the binder is alkyd resins, acrylates or synthetic latexes. The most famous representative of dispersion coatings is acrylic paint. She is very popular these days. Opaque enamels are traditional coloring compositions. They are easy to use, have good hydrophobic properties, and guarantee high quality processing.

In everyday life, wood painting is most often done with alkyd, oil and acrylic compounds. We will talk about the features of these colors in more detail.

2 Oil compositions - slowly disappear into oblivion

Oil-based paints have been used less and less in recent years. Their main producers are domestic companies. Foreign companies practically do not produce such paints. Drying oil is present in oil mixtures. This additive makes paints toxic and odorless.

The main producers of oil paints are domestic companies

Working with oil compositions is not very convenient. Firstly, they are applied exclusively in cool and absolutely dry weather. If a little rain drips outside, the staining process will have to be postponed. Secondly, these paints dry for at least a day. Thirdly, before applying the oil mixture, you will have to work hard on preparing the wooden surface. It should be thoroughly cleaned and leveled. If you don't do this, you will get a poorly painted surface with streaks, bubbles and other defects.

In addition, it is impossible later (for example, when you need to update the product) on paints with drying oil to apply another type of paintwork materials. If you treat wood with oil paint once, you will have to use it constantly. We advise you to think several times before choosing such compositions.

3 Alkyd coatings - many pluses, but also a lot of minuses

Opaque alkyd-based enamels are characterized by affordable cost, good water-repellent capabilities. They form a microscopic film on the painted surface, which retains the appearance of natural wood. Alkyd enamels dry quickly. For this reason, they are unable to penetrate into the deeper layers of wood. This is a definite minus, causing the fragility of alkyd coatings.

Alkyd paints fit well on any substrate

An important advantage of such enamels is low vapor permeability. The painted surface under a layer of such paint does not change its characteristics under the influence of moisture. Experts advise using alkyd-based paints for structures that are prone to deformation due to exposure to water. Usually, wooden window frames and doorways are painted with similar compositions. They are also used for work on the external design of wooden houses, since alkyd paints are not afraid of frost down to -25–35 ° С.

It is not difficult to paint a tree with an alkyd composition. The composition fits well on any grounds. But here it is important to observe one condition - the surface of the product must be absolutely dry. If you paint damp wood, it is one hundred percent likely to have peeling and bubbles. Drying time of alkyd paint - no more than 10 hours.

Last moment. Alkyd coatings are made on the basis of synthetic solvents, resins, various driers and other chemical additives. Such a motley composition causes a low level of environmental friendliness of the finished compositions. So, it is undesirable to use them for work inside the house.

4 Acrylic paints are the leaders of the modern coatings market!

Many home craftsmen know exactly how to paint a tree. They, without unnecessary torment and the search for ideal compositions, choose acrylic paint for processing wooden structures. It makes sense. Acrylic compositions:

1. 1. Do not close wood pores (allow the tree to breathe).
2. 2. Do not have an unpleasant pungent odor.
3. 3. Retain their original color for a long time.
4. 4. They tolerate frosts down to -30 ° without problems.
5. 5. Have excellent water repellency.
6. 6. Allow you to get any, even the most rare and unusual color shades.

Another advantage of such paints is their unique environmental friendliness. The binding element in them is non-toxic acrylates, and water is used instead of a solvent. Residents of European countries everywhere use acrylic enamels. Domestic consumers also began to care about the environment and their own health. Therefore, sales of acrylic compositions are increasing from year to year. And this despite the objectively high cost of such paints.

The main advantage of alkyd paints is environmental friendliness

Working with acrylic paint is easy. It is easily applied to wooden substrates with a sprayer, brush or paint roller, and dries quickly. And most importantly - the coating is easy to update at any time without the need for preliminary cleaning of the painted surface. For many home craftsmen, this property of paint is of great importance.

Important! Acrylic compositions almost instantly lose their properties when stored at low temperatures. Therefore, if you plan to paint wooden structures in winter, purchase the right amount of paint. Don't stock it.

We hope you have decided which paint will be more convenient for you to carry out the planned finishing activities. It remains to figure out how to stain the wood. More on this later.

5 Painting wooden surfaces - instructions to help beginner painters

Correctly painting a tree is not as easy as many people think. First of all, you need to qualitatively prepare the base for applying the paintwork of your choice. This procedure is always performed, regardless of which composition (acrylic, alkyd, and so on) is used. Remove old paint from the structure, clean it of dust and dirt. A layer of coatings that has served its purpose can be steamed off with a building hair dryer or removed using special washes sold in any modern construction store. After that, sand the surface, wipe it with a damp cloth and wait until the wood dries.

On the primed surface, the paint lays down in an even layer.

The next stage of wood preparation is degreasing. This operation can be performed using acetone or white spirit. If there are chips, visible scratches, cracks on the wooden base, they should be removed with a spatula, and then the treated surface should be carefully puttied. Waiting for the putty to dry. And then go over the wood with sandpaper.

Cover the parts of the wooden structure that do not need to be painted with adhesive tape. Now you can start the main work. To paint any tree with a brush or roller is necessary as follows:

• dip the brush (roller) in a container with paint by a third;
• make short strokes on the surface along the wood fibers;
• after applying the first layer, wait for it to dry, repeat the procedure described above.

It is more convenient to paint large structures with a spray gun. And openwork wood products are usually treated with aerosol spray paints. In these cases, the composition is sprayed approximately 0.25 m from the surface. The paint is applied in several layers. After completion of all work, it is recommended to treat the painted wood with a protective varnish (for example, acrylic). Good luck to you!

Painted wood with texture preservation looks more impressive

Structures and structures made of wood need additional protection. They can be adversely affected by the environment and harmful organisms. The clear coat brings out the natural texture of the wood, which was not so expressive. Painting wood while preserving its texture creates a layer that acts as a protective barrier against bugs, mold and fungus.

In addition, some types of paints and the presence of ordinary tools can create a unique texture for every taste. This process does not require large expenses and will help give a second life to an old thing without the services of professionals.

Two in one: beautiful appearance and protective barrier

To give wooden surfaces a brighter image and increase the service life, the following types of processing are used:

1. Glazing - applying a colorless coating.
2. Lacquering.
3. Waxing.
4. Polishing.
5. Stain processing.

To preserve the texture on wooden surfaces, transparent paints are usually used. Their composition includes various oils, synthetics, natural ingredients and wax. Insects and pests can damage wood. To protect it, preparations are added to the composition of the treated product, which perform both a preventive role and rid the wood of existing pests.

Painting can be applied to any type of wood

With the development of the painting industry, new types of multifunctional paints have appeared, which include:

• antiseptics;
• light stabilizers that save the tree from direct sunlight;
• oils and other trace elements.

All additives are formulated for biological protection, water resistance and natural shade preservation. Thixotropy is one of the properties of modern paints, which allows you to work without smudges and with the necessary accuracy.

How to choose the right paint?

Before buying paint, you need to know that you need antiseptic impregnation of wood into the soil. This is done for an even coating and many years of service without delamination.

The required amount of material must be calculated, focusing on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe area to be treated. The instructions indicate the consumption of paint per square meter. The resulting area is multiplied by the consumption - the required amount of material. In the end, you need to take into account the number of layers and multiply the previously obtained value by it.

Recommendation: it is better to buy paint with a surplus. This will come in handy for future repairs (full or partial). Every year, new types of products are released, the shades of which often do not match. After some time, the applied paint may go out of production altogether.

It is necessary to choose the right color for painting

Paints are generally classified into three types:

1. Oil. At the moment, it is produced only by domestic companies. The fundamental components are toxic drying oils, which have a pungent odor and form smudges. The cost is much higher than modern competitors due to the raw materials used. Drying time is one day. It is recommended to work in a cool dry climate. A significant disadvantage is that for future repairs, you will have to use only oil paint or remove it to the ground. The second layers on such paint are not made.
2. Alkyd. In construction appeared before acrylic. High demand is provided due to the affordable cost. At the end of painting, a thin film with hydrophobic qualities is formed. It is not used for so long, because due to rapid drying (8-12 hours) it does not penetrate into the deeper layers of the tree. It is best used for wooden elements that need protection from moisture. In addition, the material is famous for its good resistance to frost. Recommendation: painting with alkyd paints should be carried out only on a dry surface, otherwise the chance of blistering and flaking increases.
3. Acrylic. The most favorite paint in European countries. The percentage of erected buildings painted with this type is actively moving towards the figure of 100. The material is environmentally friendly. The main component is water, and the bonds are supported by acrylates. Acrylic paint has no unpleasant smell. It has a good effect on the tree, which at the same time "breathes" and is protected from moisture. There is a large selection of shades. Working with the material is not difficult, and it dries quickly. The operational period is from 5 to 10 years.

Mindfulness will avoid many mistakes

Very often on the Internet you can find negative reviews about the paint compositions used. Some complain about the significantly exceeded drying time, and manufacturers in response assure that this cannot be. It's all about the instructions! It needs to be carefully studied and extract information that will save you from unreasonable cash spending.

An example is special waxes that need to be diluted in water and used in dry rooms. Mainly for processing doors, ceilings and panels. The second layer is applied every other day. Rubbing the surface to give shine is allowed only after a week. Buying another brand of material, you can save time twice.

Paints for wood can be of three types

If the surface to be treated is a valuable type of wood, then dryness is categorically contraindicated for it. Therefore, you need to buy the appropriate paint or wax. Sometimes it's a matter of inattentive reading of the instructions, and sometimes it's a banal ignorance of the materials.

Advantages of painting wood while preserving texture:

1. Destruction of pests that adversely affect the product.
2. Prevention of the development of mold, fungi and rot.
3. Painting prevents the development of cracks in the tree.
4. Protection against moisture.
5. Safety for people living in the house.
6. Nice appearance.

The downside is that the coatings are not very resistant to aggressive liquids and fire. In most cases, the material is flammable. But there are brands that do not have these disadvantages. The question of price, which is always high for better materials.

Conclusion

Wood and structures made of it have always required special treatment. Throughout all stages of existence, it needs careful handling and care. Timely protection of wooden structures in buildings will provide a significantly longer service life without the need for premature repairs. Texture-preserving wood paint will not only protect the wood, but also preserve the natural expression of the material.

Lining made of natural wood is gaining popularity again, it can be seen not only in country houses and on balconies, but also in the interior of kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms in city apartments. And this is not surprising, because its advantages over other finishing materials are obvious and undeniable. It is durable, contributes to the preservation of heat, and maintaining the optimal level of humidity in the room. And about the aesthetic properties of the lining and the incomparable woody smell, everything has long been said. However, the tree requires special care, which includes processing and coating with various compounds. In addition, painting the lining solves the problem of boring color or undesirable association with a sauna or a summer house for someone and allows you to change the style of the interior without giving up this excellent natural material.

What and why is the lining painted?

The lining may need to be painted, varnished or other compounds for several reasons, which determine the choice of a particular tool:

• The tree needs protection, which can be different. For example, for lining on a balcony, you need to think about enhanced protection against UV rays that cause photoaging (greying of wood). Some compounds make the lining more fire and moisture resistant, protect against pests.

Pine is often used as a material for interior decoration. If left untreated, the wood may darken over time.

• It is necessary to preserve the color of the tree and make the drawing more expressive.
• It is required to change the color of the lining, but at the same time preserve the structure of the wood.
• The interior of the room does not involve the use of natural wood color.

For staining or other processing of lining, you can use the following tools:

• protective compositions. They can be designed for different purposes. To process the lining on the balcony, especially located on the sunny side, it is better to use the composition for outdoor work. For the ceiling and walls in the room, a tool for interior work is suitable.

Important! When choosing a protective agent, carefully read the information on the package. Some compounds paint the tree in pink and green, which can only be painted over with a very dark tint or opaque paint.

• Stains (compositions for toning). They give the lining a certain shade, while maintaining the wood texture. By applying a different number of layers, you can adjust the intensity of staining.

• Lucky. Scuba diving is best suited for lining - water-based compositions that allow you to maintain the vapor permeability of the material and protect the surface from the absorption of contaminants. Varnishes can be glossy, matte, semi-matte, contain bactericidal additives and UV filters, they can be added with color to change the shade of wood.

• Paints. They can have a very different composition, designed to completely paint wood by creating a dense film on the surface.

• Wax compounds. They can be solid, liquid, water, provide excellent protection, retain a pronounced structure of the tree.

Important! In order for the wax to lay down evenly, the surface of the lining must first be primed.

• Special oils. They can be transparent and pigmented, protect the wood from dirt and abrasion, and emphasize the structure of the wood. They do not create a film on the surface, like varnishes, but penetrate into the top layer of wood. Create the effect of a matte finish or silky shine.

Depending on the purpose of application, these agents can be used either alone or in combination with each other. For example, impregnation and paint can be used to protect and obtain a uniform painted surface.

Choosing a paint

If we are talking directly about painting, you will need one of the following types of lining paint:

1. Oil paint. Penetrates deeply, protects from external influences, suitable for painting lining on the balcony. Disadvantages: takes a long time to dry, fades over time.
2. Alkyd enamel. Universal paint that creates a dense, most often glossy coating that is resistant to external influences and durable. The disadvantage is a poor choice of shades.
3. Acrylic water-based paint. It is used more often than others, creates a matte, translucent coating. When applied in a thin layer, it allows to preserve the structure of the tree.

Choose lining color

How to paint the lining, we found out, it's time to decide on a shade of paint. Many of the shortcomings of the room can be advantageously turned in the other direction if you “play with color” a little. Need to expand your space? Choose paint in white or light beige shades. But remember that they are prone to rapid contamination. A dark tone, on the contrary, will visually reduce the size of the room.

You can not make the ceiling, walls and floor contrasting in color. In the bedroom, it is best to leave natural wood, and to decorate the office, choose a paint of restrained tones.

We paint the lining according to all the rules

Painting lining involves a certain sequence of actions that must be followed.

1. Cleaning from dirt and dust.
2. Surface grinding.
3. Application of antiseptic and primer.
4. Covering the lining with paint or other selected composition.

Ideally, the lining should be painted before it is mounted on the wall, painting each plank individually, it is extremely difficult to apply paint on the ceiling or walls that are already upholstered with lining. Finished surface painting is allowed only when the paint is renewed.

Preparing the lining for painting

If the lining is painted for the first time, the front side of the individual boards is polished to smoothness using a sanding machine or sandpaper fixed on a bar.

In the event that an already painted lining on a wall or ceiling is varnished or painted, the sequence of actions will be as follows:

• Using a scraper or brush, dust and remnants of old paint are removed, circular movements are made with sandpaper, allowing you to finally clean the surface. If the varnish or paint is firmly held, it is worth rinsing the lining with a solution of soda (we take 300 grams of powder for a bucket of hot water). To remove mold, there are special chemicals.
• If the dirt is not washed off, bleach or stain can be used. In order for the paint or antiseptic to better adhere to the surface, we treat the ceiling, floor or walls with detergents, which include alkali.
• We grind wood. In order not to miss a single section, mentally divide the wall, ceiling or floor into several squares and overwrite them sequentially. You can not press hard and grind one piece for a long time.
• It is not necessary to treat with a primer antiseptic, but it will increase the durability of the lining.
• All irregularities are covered with a special putty.

It is better to take a spatula made of plastic, unlike metal counterparts, it does not leave scratches on the surface.

• We apply a layer of drying oil, which will perform a protective function.
• At the end, a primer is applied. It will protect the lining from temperature changes (if we are talking about an unheated balcony) and fix the putty already applied, in addition, it allows you to achieve a more even distribution of paint.

We paint according to all the rules

After finishing the surface preparation, it's time to figure out how to paint the lining.

• Depending on the area, both a brush and a roller can be used.
• Painting the lining with paint or a pigmented agent involves applying the composition in small portions. It is possible to moisten the brush abundantly only when using transparent impregnations and primers.

It is important to mix the paint thoroughly both before and during painting, so that the color will lay down evenly.

• Movements must be made along the boards, applying the composition with strokes, and then rubbing and shading until a uniform coating is obtained.
• It is better to apply several thin layers than one thick one.
• When working with opaque paint or varnish, after the first layer has dried, it is necessary to sand the surface again.
• Do not start painting a second time when the first layer has not yet dried.

In order not to be mistaken with the final result, you can first paint a small section of the board to check what color will turn out in the end.

Structure-preserving painting

How to paint the lining to change the color, but retain a pronounced woody pattern? You can use the brushing technique, which in this case involves processing the lining in several stages:

1. First, a pigmented oil, wax or azure is applied to the surface.
2. Then, the selected varnish or paint for lining is taken in a small amount, applied along the entire length of the board and gently shaded.
3. After 10 minutes, most of the oil is removed with a soft, lint-free cloth.

The result of such manipulations will be a bright and expressive wood pattern, emphasized by the pigment remaining in the grooves and depressions. This method is great when using lining in different interiors: country, Provence and many others.

Bleached oak effect

The lining, painted in white, looks very stylish and modern. If white wood is used in a Scandinavian or rustic interior, it is advisable not to create a dense impervious coating when painting, but to preserve the structure of the wood, achieving the effect of bleached oak. This can be done using various means:

• Toning (stain) with the appropriate name - "bleached oak", "hoarfrost", etc. To create the desired effect, the product is applied in several layers, each of which must be very thin.

• Oils with wax of the desired color. Can be applied in two coats for a virtually opaque finish, or as a single coat which is then rubbed with a cloth for a pronounced woodgrain effect.

Now you know how to paint the lining and how to properly process it. On the one hand, this process is quite time-consuming, on the other hand, it is fascinating and enjoyable.

Painting a tree is considered a rather complicated undertaking, which involves the observance of certain rules. Various paint and varnish compositions can be used for work, but before applying the decorative and protective layer, the base must be properly prepared using special mixtures. Only the complex implementation of all stages guarantees a beautiful and durable coating.

Compounds for coloring wood

Painting wooden surfaces can be carried out with several types of finishing materials. Each option differs in composition and appearance of the resulting coating.

Paints

Paints for wood enjoy stable popularity. They allow you to update the surface, but hide the natural texture. If the technology is followed, a coating is obtained that is distinguished by individuality and a magnificent decorative effect.

The following compositions can be used in the work:

• Oil. This variety is currently rarely used. This is due to the many negative qualities that the mixture has. Among them, a sharp and toxic smell, as well as a long drying time, stand out. The composition is used for painting wooden bases and household products.

Of the advantages of oil paint, one can note good adhesion, high covering power

• Alkyd enamels. This option, like the previous one, has become less popular, but the demand remains at a good level. This is because the mixture is great for outdoor woodwork. After application, a small film is formed on the surface, thanks to which it is possible to emphasize the texture of the base. In addition, enamel has low vapor permeability, which reduces the risk of wood deformation when exposed to moisture. They are short lived.

Alkyd compounds are best used for outdoor use, as they have a toxic odor.

• Water-based (water-dispersed):
  • Acrylic. The basis of such solutions is water and acrylic resins, and there are also additional modifiers in the composition. Due to this, the mixture is completely environmentally friendly. The scope is extensive: it can be internal and external surfaces and even furniture. With elasticity, the material prevents the appearance of cracks and damage to wood.

    Acrylic water emulsion is an environmentally friendly, fireproof type of coating with good adhesion

  • Latex. Hides surface cracks up to 1 mm wide, a good option to protect the coating from the harmful effects of moisture. Compared to acrylic paints, latex paints are more moisture resistant.
    

    On a note! Acrylic solutions may additionally contain a latex-based additive, which increases the water-repellent properties of the material. In addition, there is a PVA water emulsion, but it is better not to use it for working with wood.

• Epoxy. Such mixtures are characterized by a narrow specialization. They can be used to paint coatings that experience heavy loads: floors, stairs, street paths from boards.

Epoxy coatings are highly durable and resistant to abrasion, as well as to various chemicals and solvents.

Thus, to the question: is it possible to paint wood with water-based paint, the answer will be in the affirmative. It is this product that is considered the most preferred. It not only has excellent characteristics, but is also well tinted, which allows you to realize your design fantasy.

Lucky

When deciding how to paint a tree, be sure to take into account that paint is not the only option, varnish is an excellent alternative. It is a composition based on natural or synthetic resins. As a solvent, various substances can be used that determine the properties of the material. The resulting film can be transparent or change (emphasize) the texture of the wood.

Colored varnishes allow you to imitate a variety of wood species

Several composition options are suitable for work:

1. Polyurethane. The most popular because it dries quickly and has excellent durability. But due to the presence of a solvent in the composition, it has a specific smell.
2. Water. Suitable for outdoor and indoor work. It is environmentally friendly, but requires impregnation of the base with a primer. Drying may take up to 24 hours.
3. Acrylic. A modern composition with good decorative qualities. The disadvantage is the high price.
4. Nitrolac. It has low light resistance, suitable for work with inexpensive furniture.

Varnish can be an independent coating or an auxiliary protective coating when applying paint to wooden surfaces. In this case, it is necessary to choose the right base in order to achieve the best effect.

Other dye options

These can be the following substances:

1. Stain. Allows you to give the wood a richer texture. For example, after processing a cheap pine with a properly selected stain, the appearance of a noble oak is created. Can act as a protective impregnation.

   To date, most manufacturers produce wood stain in several shades, as close as possible to the natural color of natural wood.

2. Potassium permanganate. The solution is prepared in the proportion of 50 g of manganese per 1 liter of warm water. The base is well treated with the mixture, if necessary in several layers. If you paint the floors with such a composition, they will look like a dark walnut.

Regardless of the material chosen, the surface is covered with a colorless varnish.

Choice of pre-treatment agent

These mixtures include:

• Drying oil. It is applied to protect the base from any harmful effects. It is better to lay several layers to achieve deep penetration. It can be used before oil paints in order to reduce their consumption.

Drying oil Oksol consists of 55% of a natural oil component, 40 of white spirit, 5% of a desiccant, therefore, compared to natural drying oil, its cost is lower and it dries faster

• Oil. Parts that are near the ground or are immersed in it are subjected to processing.

The oil is ideal for processing wood indoors with temperature fluctuations and high humidity.

• Special antiseptics. Protect from microorganisms and insects, prevent decay.

Universal deep-penetrating colorless wood preservative Neomid

• Fire retardants. Do not allow fire to spread quickly.

Important! Impregnation is carried out carefully and in advance so that the wood has time to absorb the right amount of the composition.

The procedure for performing work on painting

The technology of painting wooden products suggests that the work will be carried out in several stages:

1. Selection and preparation of tools.
2. Preparation and processing of the base.
3. Painting.
4. Additional processing (if necessary).

All processes are carried out carefully. It should be remembered that wood is a capricious material and can be easily deformed.

Stages of preparation and painting of a wooden product: sanding, dust removal, degreasing, priming and painting

Tool

Painting may require:

• Airbrush and compressor. This system allows you to process large areas in a short period of time. At home, a mechanical spray gun can serve as an alternative.
• Brush. It is necessary to paint hard-to-reach places, as well as for interior painting.
• roller. It is better to choose a fur coat with a pile of medium length.
• Convenient capacity. If it is intended to be painted with hand tools.
• Rags. For quick fixes.

Necessary tools for coloring

Everything you need is prepared in advance.

Preparation of wooden surfaces for painting

Preparation plays a special role. If you follow all the procedures correctly, then in the future there will be no problems.

Process diagram:

1. If the surfaces have previously been treated, they are thoroughly cleaned of the existing coating. For this, a mechanical, chemical or thermal method is used. The main thing is that the base must be completely clean.
2. In order to qualitatively prepare the place of work, you need to assess its condition. If the previous coating quickly fell into disrepair, the causes of this are first identified and eliminated. So, the wooden facade is affected by water that flows down from the roof. In the absence of a drain system, the impact will be destructive.
3. Grinding is in progress. This procedure is necessary for both new and old foundations. The resulting dust is removed.
4. Resin traces are cleaned, areas are washed with white spirit.
5. The surface is treated with protective agents. Flame retardants and antiseptics are applied first. Then, if necessary, the areas most susceptible to destruction are covered with oils. The impregnation is applied in several layers with a roller and a brush.
6. Further work is carried out after complete drying. Existing gaps and defects are covered with a special putty. After its setting, the sections are ground.
7. The primer is applied. If required, it is necessary to treat the surface with drying oil or stain.

The coating is left to dry thoroughly; it is unacceptable to act on a wet base.

Paint application

Attention! It is necessary to carry out work outside or inside at optimal temperatures and humidity, which depend on the selected composition.

Painting wooden surfaces is carried out as follows:

1. The process starts from the corner when working with walls, facades, floors and ceilings and from one of the ends when decorating objects, furniture, individual wooden elements.
2. The application of oil and alkyd paints is carried out with vertical strokes. Further, the composition is well rubbed, after which the movements become horizontal. Acrylic paints can immediately be laid horizontally (along the grain of the wood).
3. The first layer is considered the base layer. To do this, the solution can be slightly diluted to provide better styling. The second layer (if painting takes place in three layers) creates a reliable base. After that, in places of defects, the surface is polished with a fine abrasive. The last coating is applied most carefully.
4. Spray tools are much easier to work on large areas. But when using them, the movements must be uniform and at the same distance from the base.

Rules for applying paint with an airbrush

If required, after drying, a layer of varnish is laid on top. It not only protects the paint, but also adds shine.

Technology for painting wood with varnish

Lacquering is carried out after surface preparation. If a colorless composition is used, then the base can be stained to give the desired shade.

The varnishing process itself looks like this:

1. The first layer is applied evenly. Leaks should be avoided.
2. To achieve the best effect, grinding is carried out. It allows you to remove invisible flaws.
   

   On a note! Many masters advise grinding after laying the second layer. But this depends on the viscosity of the varnish: with a more liquid consistency, the first coating is not sanded.

3. The second layer is laid. The main thing is to distribute the mixture evenly to avoid its accumulation in some places.
4. The third layer completes the work.

When applying all coatings, wait for the complete drying of the previous one. If necessary, after a few days the product is polished.

Decorative staining

There are tips to help you achieve the best visual effect with your own hands:

• Painted under bleached oak. The easiest way is to cover the surface with stain of a suitable color. It is much more difficult to make such a paint, for this a complex tinting is carried out.
• To obtain a bleached wood color, a pigment (acrylic or polyurethane) primer is used. It is diluted and applied to the surface. A similar effect can be achieved using an oil with a similar color. After laying, the base is waxed and rubbed.
• For the effect of antiquity, patination is used. It is recommended to use special formulations: paste, liquid patina or facet varnish.

If desired, you can get any decorative result.

Interior decoration is one of the final stages of construction. A wide range of materials, colors and textures puts the developer in front of a rather difficult choice.

In the decoration of the room, its purpose should be taken into account, as well as the type of material from which the internal surfaces of the walls of the house are built.

Wooden surfaces can be coated with a layer, since the choice of such coatings today is quite large.

However, when starting to finish, it should be remembered that although painting a wooden house is, first of all, the finishing touch in interior design, however, surface painting also performs a protective function.

The composition of antiseptics are:

• on an organic basis
• on a chemical basis.

White always look in the house

It is better to cover wooden walls with protective compounds immediately after construction is completed, because under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, the tree can darken and lose its aesthetic appeal. Sanding will help restore wooden surfaces to their original appearance.

In addition, darkened areas can be bleached with special wood bleaches.

To avoid unpredictable reactions, it is better to use coatings (antiseptics, or varnishes) from one manufacturer.

In case the painting, or for some reason does not suit you, you can process the wooden surfaces inside the house or. Such a coating is quite durable, protects wood well, and also looks visually very attractive. Such wood processing is not cheap, but it looks accordingly.

Painting the inside of the house: surface preparation

Frame house walls

Painting wooden surfaces, including lining inside the house, requires some preparation of these very surfaces. The final result will depend on how carefully and competently the wooden surfaces are prepared for painting.

Preparation of wooden walls for painting includes several stages:

1. Cleaning surfaces with a stiff brush. At this stage, dust, dirt, oil and resin stains are removed from the wooden surface. If necessary, dirt can be cleaned with sandpaper.
2. large holes, cracks, depressions.
3. Wood coating transparent or.
4. Sanding surfaces to ensure better adhesion of the paint to the wood. For you can use a grinder or sandpaper. Using a grinder significantly reduces time and labor costs.
5. Painting a house with paint or.

Coating wooden surfaces with varnish

Wood varnish can be completely transparent or tinted. For interior work, it is better to give preference to varnish coatings without a sharp artificial smell of solvents.

Most often, alcohol-based or water-based varnishes, as well as anhydrous polyurethane, alkyd and acrylic, are used to paint surfaces inside the house.

When applying coatings, follow the technology and follow the instructions on the packaging.

Painting with paint

The main requirements that apply to topcoats used for interior wall treatment of a house are their safety for health, the absence of a strong odor and quick drying. These requirements are met by water-based and acrylic paints, as well as paints based on natural oils.

Paints can be translucent, as well as topcoat, which completely hide the structure of the wood.

General rules for painting wooden surfaces inside the house:

1. Ventilate the room during work.
2. Choose a warm season for interior painting.
3. Stir the paint thoroughly before starting work.
4. Apply the coating in a thin layer, avoiding the formation of smudges.
5. The direction of movement of the brush is longitudinal.
6. Each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one has completely dried.

AT
During painting work, it is convenient to use compressors for painting a house or an airbrush for painting a house. Although traditional brushes and rollers have not been canceled either.

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 you process wooden fence posts, you need to figure out why you need to paint them at all? The fact is that a fence made of natural material is subject to all kinds of negative influences 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 figure out what paint to paint a wooden fence with, you need to take into account its various characteristics, such as durability, ability to withstand mechanical damage, resistance to sunlight, precipitation, heat changes, environmental compliance and adequate cost. On the modern construction market, you can find a lot of compositions that will help not only keep 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, the important components of 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, alkyd enamel is not very suitable for processing wooden boards, 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. The positive characteristics of this paint can be called resistance to adverse natural factors, as well as the ability to maintain the original shade for a long time. 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 retain 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 the necessary tools. These include a roller or paint brushes (which are better to buy in different sizes for uniform application of the composition), rubberized work gloves, fabric scraps.

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 colors, some would like to keep the natural look of wooden planks. 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;
• water-based varnishes (acrylic) - the most environmentally friendly composition, but not entirely suitable for outdoor work, it is better to use it 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.

Palette Belinka Toplasur

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. Therefore, the best solution would be to 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 compositions should not be used for interior decoration of 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 a coating, taking into account the important nuances during repairs, you can independently process the appearance of wood.

Impregnation of wood with oil

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

Wood is an inexpensive and affordable building material that is used as a fence. But it requires a protective coating and proper care.

Why paint a wooden fence

The duration of operation of a wooden fence depends on:

• atmospheric precipitation;
• temperature fluctuations;
• exposure to ultraviolet;
• fungal diseases that destroy wood.

Processing with special compounds and painting is the best protection for wood from decay. The second reason is aesthetic, as the owner of the house or cottage strives to make his house look neat and beautiful.

How to clean a railing from old paint

In order to properly paint a wooden fence, it is necessary to prepare its surface. There are three ways to remove old paint:

• chemical;
• thermal;
• mechanical.

With the chemical method, the old coating is removed with special means: acetone, gasoline or solvents. Depending on the type, the liquid is applied to the surface, left for 20-60 minutes. Then the over-primed layer is removed as it softens.

In the process of heat treatment of the surface, the old paint is removed with a hair dryer heated to a state of melting. This method removes even a double layer of paint.

In the mechanical method, an electric tool is used - an angle grinder, ("grinder").

To level the surface and remove tubercles, the wood is sanded with a fine-grained sandpaper.

In order to qualitatively paint a wooden fence, you must remember: the more carefully the picket fence is cleaned, the higher the quality of its painting will be.

What tools will be needed

1. Brush. Despite the fact that coloring with such a tool looks like a simple (easy) process, it takes time and certain skills.
2. roller. The most popular tool used for surface painting. They can paint the surface without smudges and gaps.
3. The spray gun is a mini-unit that sprays paint evenly with minimal effort and increased speed. It also reduces material consumption.

Treating a wooden fence before painting

The constant contact of fence posts and fences with the ground contributes to rotting, decomposition of wood. In order for the fence to stand longer, not to collapse due to rotten bases and the damp bottom of the picket fence, before painting it, the entire fence must be treated with special compounds.

The most famous way is to impregnate the pillars with engine oil. It is applied in several layers.

The second most popular method is heat treatment. The bottom of the timber, after preliminary cleaning, is burned with fire (a bonfire or burner is used). The treated part is poured with molten tar or bitumen.

When working with the above-ground part of the fence, for this purpose there are synthetic mixtures that have antifungal, refractory properties that protect the surface from moisture and decay.

The support post for the fence must be installed upside down (butt - the lower part of the tree). This is done so that the pile absorbs less moisture. For easier entry of the support into the ground, its top is sharpened under a pencil. Their painting is carried out in 2-3 layers.

How to choose the right paint for a wooden fence

In order to choose a paint, you should know the types of this material. For a tree, according to its component composition, it is divided into:

• glazing - translucent composition;
• covering - paint with a dense, colored structure;
• acrylic - this material contains water. It covers the surface tightly. It is believed that a fence painted with such paint is not subject to corrosion when exposed to moisture and is frost-resistant. Its validity period is about 5 years;
• antiseptic compounds - transparent or translucent paint with the effect of protection against various wood diseases: fungus, mold and decay;
• glaze, varnish - transparent protective compounds that, when used, emphasize the beauty of the tree and protect it from the aggressive effects of the external environment;
• oil paint - this composition belongs to the category: “cheap and fast”. But such paint has a negative element - fragility: under the influence of precipitation, it loses its properties, collapses, crumbles, crumbles. The only positive is the low price.
