The color of the house from a bar. Painting a house from profiled timber

Even the highest quality timber without special treatment begins to turn black or turn blue in 1-2 years. This is due to temperature changes, exposure to UV rays and biological factors. The wood turns blue / blackens especially strongly in the cold season, so it is impossible to leave a house made of timber without painting for the winter. Blue and black, having appeared on the wood, is not removed in any way. It is almost impossible to whiten it, therefore, painting a house from a bar and protecting a tree from negative influences must be approached as responsibly and in a timely manner as possible.

• moisture protection and mold prevention;
• bio-protection against pests, rodents;
• protection from aggressive environmental factors;
• a significant increase in the life of the building;
• masking wood flaws, irregularities, defects;
• presentable appearance, updating and changing the style of the house.

Painting a house from a bar can be done both with transparent paint and varnish compositions and with colors that fundamentally change the color and change the appearance of the building.

How to paint a house from a bar?

• When choosing how to paint a house from a bar, owners should know the basic requirements for paints and varnishes:
• Resistance to temperature extremes - paint or varnish must be adapted to the Russian climate.
• Fire safety - the composition must include fire retardant substances.
• UV resistance - the protective coating should not fade and fade for at least 3-5 seasons.
• Vapor permeability - the paintwork should not interfere with air exchange.
• Safety - the product should not be toxic, contain resins and hazardous compounds.

A huge range of paints and varnishes for timber

Today, the market offers more than 500 options for paint and varnish compositions for outdoor and indoor use. When choosing a product for painting a house from a bar, it is recommended to take into account not only the cost and appearance of wood after painting, but also such parameters as: consumption, application method, durability, etc.

Painting a house from a bar: interior painting work

For interior woodwork, safe, non-toxic products are used that dry quickly and are odorless. These compositions include:

Wax and mastic

Wax perfectly protects the timber from decay and moisture, and is durable. A significant disadvantage of wax is its high cost. Timber walls covered with wax look presentable and stylish. The velvety texture of the material allows you to mask the defects of the wood and shade the pattern of the cut without changing the texture of the wood.

Lucky

Inexpensive decorating material for painting a house from a bar. Distinguish glossy and matte varnishes. The best option is to use both types of varnishes: matte is applied first, and then glossy. A serious disadvantage of varnishes is low vapor permeability, the varnish creates a film on the surface, preventing the wood from “breathing”. A well-organized ventilation system will help reduce the negative effects of varnishing. There are the following types of varnishes for interior work:

1. Acrylic. Environmentally friendly, odorless formulations. Acrylic varnish is the best option for painting a log house inside. The varnish is applied to processing of walls, furniture and ceilings.
2. Alcoholic (varnishes). Ultra-resistant varnishes that create a durable glossy layer. Used to cover floors and surfaces subjected to frequent mechanical stress. Polishes are characterized by low moisture resistance, so they cannot be used for painting verandas, balconies and terraces in a house made of timber.
3. Polyurethane. Water-based varnish with high adhesive properties and durability. Great for painting a timber structure from the inside, but it has a fairly high cost.
4. Oil. Considered obsolete and rarely used in modern decoration. They create a durable layer on wood with low vapor permeability. Can be used for floors and ceilings when increased abrasion resistance is required.

Finished with colorless acrylic lacquer

Antiseptic impregnations and solutions

First of all, antiseptics are designed to protect wood from decay and moisture. Most compositions contain a small amount of components that enhance the natural color of the timber, giving it a warm tint. There are two types of antiseptics:

1. Impregnation. They penetrate deep into the structure of the tree and are toxic, therefore they require the application of a safe paintwork on top.
2. Solutions. Create a protective film on the surface of the beam. Such solutions are indispensable in rooms with high humidity: baths, bathrooms, saunas, etc.

Paints

Using paint will completely change the color of the wood. Most modern coloring compositions for painting timber inside the house are environmentally friendly products that allow the tree to "breathe" and do not emit toxins. When choosing a paint, it is recommended to pay attention not only to the shade, but also to the composition: a good paint should not contain formaldehydes and resins. In construction stores, owners of timber houses are offered the following types of paints:

1. Acrylic. The widest variety of colors, safety, ease of application and durability - all these advantages make acrylic wood paints the best option for painting a house from a bar from the inside.
2. Oil. Oil-based paints of the new generation are characterized by high resistance to abrasion, give the wood a deep rich color. The disadvantage of oil coloring compositions is a long drying period and low resistance to UV rays. Often oil paints are used in combination with colorless varnish.

Painting wooden walls with paint

Before applying paints and varnishes, bleaching agents are sometimes used to eliminate dark spots or streaks. Such products are highly toxic and safety precautions must be observed when using them.

Enamels and nitro-paints for painting a house from a bar inside cannot be used! These products have extremely low vapor permeability and harm the wood, changing its texture and environmental properties.

Painting a house from a bar outside

The outer walls of a house made of timber are covered with special compounds intended for facade work. Painting is carried out only when the moisture content of the timber does not exceed 25%.

To paint a house from a bar outside, natural and synthetic paints and varnishes are used, the most popular of which are:

Varnishes and paints based on polyurethane

They have increased resistance to UV rays and climatic factors. They give the wood a beautiful appearance and have a diverse color palette: bleached oak, milk nut, wenge, etc.

Painting a house under construction

Water based paints

Inexpensive and easy-to-apply formulations that absorb and dry quickly. They require additional waterproofing protection, for example 1-2 layers of polyurethane varnish. In the absence of waterproofing, such paints are washed out in 1-2 seasons, and the house requires re-painting.

Oil facade paints

Affordable paints that allow you to completely change the color of wood and mask defects. They have a significant drawback - fragility, after 2-3 years cracks appear on the facade, the color fades, spots appear.

Alkyd paints

Less prone to fading and fading than water-based and oil. The main disadvantage is a rather high cost combined with a low service life of 2-4 years.

One-color alkyd paint combined with bright oil

Acrylic paints

Acrylic compounds for outdoor use are quite expensive, but their strength is much higher than that of the above types of paints. A large selection of colors and durability make this paintwork option the most popular for painting log houses from the outside.

The relatively recent silicate-based paints are not suitable for timber houses. They are designed for stone and concrete walls. Such compositions, along with sealants, can be used to paint the basement or process the seams of a cottage from a bar

How to choose a color for a house from a bar?

The paints offered for timber structures are matte or glossy. Glossy surfaces certainly look impressive and stylish, but it should be taken into account that all wood defects are more visible on them: chips, cracks, knots and poor-quality saw cut. Matte surfaces in this case are more advantageous. Also, many manufacturers of paint and varnish coatings have intermediate options: semi-gloss or semi-gloss compositions that combine all the advantages of both types of texture.

In Northern Europe, the most popular option for painting a house from a bar is the following: acrylic or alkyd paint of a selected shade is applied to the facade, and the surface is covered with a durable and wear-resistant varnish on top. When choosing a shade of paint for a bar, it is recommended to take into account the advice of experts:

A win-win and classic option is dark and light walnut, mahogany, oak (shades of brown wood). Such paints are suitable for houses made in all architectural styles.

Solid cold shades: from white to blue - they look beautiful only on a well-finished and perfectly even beam. These colors go well with bronze, gold or platinum tints.

Combination of blue and white-silver shade

Light wood shades: bleached oak, walnut are well suited for low and small cottages. However, when choosing a light color, do not forget that it can only be 1-3 shades lighter than the natural color of the wood, otherwise you will have to renew the paint every season.

Our company offers painting houses from timber with materials that have proven their quality and effectiveness. We use only certified paints and varnishes that meet all the requirements for operation in the Russian climate.

Timber house painting technology

Painting a house from a bar is carried out in two ways:

• manual with painting tools;
• mechanized with a spray gun.

When painting the surface with a spray gun, the consumption of paint and varnish material increases by 10-20%, but at the same time the paint lays down in a more even layer. The choice of painting method is carried out taking into account the cost and type of coating, weather conditions, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe timber structure and other factors.
The painting technology includes the following steps:

1. Preparing walls for painting: cleaning, sanding, repairing cracks.
2. Apply primer in 2 coats. The second layer is applied after the first has completely dried.
3. Coating the surface with the selected paint and varnish composition, taking into account the recommendations of the manufacturer.
4. Applying a final lacquer finish.

As a rule, paint and varnishes are applied in 2-3 layers, and each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one is completely fixed. The process of painting the timber should be done immediately, without stretching for several days, because. in this case, the tone of the sections will differ. In the presence of heterogeneity in color, specialists use chemical brighteners and pigments.

Expert opinion

Construction of houses, outbuildings, terraces and verandas.

If, after completion of construction, you are not ready to paint the house from a bar inside and out, for example, you have not decided on the color or there is not enough money, then in order for the wood not to turn black, it is necessary to grind it and treat it with a primer. In this case, the timber will not lose its original color within 1 year.

The cost of painting a house from a bar

The cost of painting a log cottage depends on the type of paint used, the method of application and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe building. The best option is when painting the timber is included in the range of services of the company that was engaged in the construction of the house. The cost of 1 m2 of painting a house from a bar includes:

• preliminary grinding in 1-3 passes;
• preparation of painting tools and scaffolding;
• covering the timber with an antiseptic;
• consumables (rollers, masking tape, etc.);
• painting process;
• garbage collection.

The cost of painting is always calculated individually.

Sometimes the cost may include paint and varnish material. In any case, the price of painting a house from a bar does not exceed 1-5% of its cost and is affordable for everyone. The benefits of properly stained wood outweigh the money spent on painting.

Painting walls from a bar acts as an excellent protection of the material and improvement of its original natural external data. This solution is the most budgetary and affordable among others. In order for the wood not to be afraid of external aggressive influences, the work must be done correctly.

Painting a house from a bar consists of the following steps: surface preparation, priming with antiseptics and surface painting.

If you want to emphasize the aesthetics of glued laminated timber, then it is better to use drying oil, wax or oil, however, such solutions are not able to protect the wood, so they are best used only indoors.

If after painting the room is supposed to be used immediately, then it is better to use water-based varnishes. There is another alternative - synthetic varnishes, which have a persistent smell and do not dry so quickly. Sometimes glued laminated timber needs not only to improve its original appearance, but also to eliminate minor flaws in the form of cracks that can be masked by applying mastic. It is the one that is made on a wax basis that is able to give the walls of the timber a velvety touch.

Tools and materials

• sealant;
• mastic;
• sandpaper;
• brush, roller or spray gun.

External staining

Painting walls from a bar is the creation of a barrier between the material and the environment.

Synthetic brushes for painting timber hold their shape better and do not leave lint.

Lacquer coatings intended for glued laminated timber may have a transparent or matte texture. The first version of the compositions is called glazing, the second - covering. The painting process using such varnishes can be done using one of several tools, including: brush, spray, spray gun or roller.

The range of coatings for glued laminated timber today is so large that it is extremely difficult to choose the appropriate composition, it is important to initially determine the tasks that must be solved after staining.

Despite the fact that glued laminated timber is a fairly high-quality material, it needs protection from moisture, which can be protected from penetration by impregnation of the ends of the timber with a sealant, such a procedure will clog the pores of the wood, which will repel moisture. In addition, glued laminated timber must be protected from mold and fungi. An antiseptic primer can help in the fight against these wood pests.

Sometimes the owners of the house are faced with the question of returning the lost external gloss of the surface of the timber, then decorative painting helps, which involves several stages, among them: impregnation, priming, eliminating cracks, painting with varnishes or enamels.

The choice of paintwork

The beam is polished with a grinder with a special nozzle.

In order for the facade of a house built of timber to be aesthetic and protected from negative factors, you should choose the appropriate composition for painting. Below are the characteristics of coatings from different manufacturers that can help you choose.

So, the German manufacturer Zobel presents compositions for timber, which are environmentally friendly, perfectly adhere to wood and have low cost.

These compounds are also chosen because they are water-based and do not have an unpleasant odor. After application, these varnishes are able to retain their original color for a long time, but they also have a drawback, which consists in the need to periodically renew the coating every 5 years.

The device of a spray gun for coloring a bar.

But the compositions of the German manufacturer Osmo, on the contrary, have a very high cost, but they have a lot of additional qualities that deserve attention, among them: ease of application and subsequent removal if necessary. These paints are oil-based, environmentally friendly and able to hold color well while preserving the grain of the wood.

If you want to save money, then you can also prefer varnishes from the Finnish manufacturer Tikkurila, spending money on exterior painting of log houses is often impractical, since most coatings need to be re-updated after 5 years.

The Russian manufacturer Thermika presents a not so large assortment for painting glued laminated timber, moreover, the varnishes of this manufacturer require even more frequent (once every 3 years) updates.

Laminated timber coloring technology

Variants of varnish with natural shades of color.

If you decide to paint a house built from glued laminated timber, then you should know that work must begin with grinding the surface, which is necessary even for factory-treated wood. Light sanding will rid the surface of various dirt and eliminate microcracks. This procedure should also be carried out when painting the timber inside the house, grinding will make the adhesion of materials better.

After that, you can start processing the ends of the timber with a sealant. Then comes the turn of antiseptics and priming. The primer composition should be allowed to dry, only after that it is possible to proceed to staining, during which about 3 layers of varnish or paint will be applied. Each subsequent layer must be applied only after the previous one has dried.

The surface of the walls in the house after 3 months should be examined for the presence of new cracks, as well as the facade of the building, if painting was carried out outside. If the gaps were found, then re-sealing will have to be done. Sealant should be applied in place of new cracks. The platbands of the house are also subject to processing.

You should start painting the house only in the warm season, when the minimum temperature is + 5 °. It will not be possible to give the house an updated look even during a period of high humidity, when it snows or rains.

Prices for staining timber

Optimal tree protection scheme.

If you decide that you can’t do the coloring at home on your own, then you can take the help of professionals. The cost of work in this case will depend on several factors, including: the amount of work, determined by the dimensions of the house; qualification of the working team; the cost of the used compositions for coloring; type of work required.

If we take into account the average cost of similar and related painting services, we can single out the grinding of walls made of glued laminated timber, the price for which will be approximately 110-160 rubles, but antiseptic treatment will cost 70-80 rubles per 1 m2, painting the timber in 1 layer will cost 80-100 rubles per 1 m2. For the initial cleaning of the pile from the base of the walls, the team will take 30-50 rubles per 1 m2. Grinding and sealing the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ends of the beam costs 350-400 rubles per linear meter. If it is necessary to dismantle, paint, and then put the trim in place, the owners will have to pay 150-160 rubles per linear meter, balconies, fences and terraces from a bar also sometimes need to be painted, it costs about 600-800 rubles per linear meter.

Many owners want to protect and give freshness to a log house, you should not save on this, such a structure has an impressive cost and will be used for a long time. Therefore, you should not purchase a cheap, short-lived composition that is not able to extend the life of wood, because it is more susceptible to external influences than other materials. If you do not have the skills, it may not even be worth taking on the job yourself, you need to use the help of specialists.

Painting a house from a bar on the outside implies a whole range of work, which consists in choosing the right paint, surface preparation, and so on. A wide variety of paints can be used to paint a log house. They can be light, dark, bright and so on.

However, in most cases, a person tries to preserve the original beauty of natural wood, therefore, to paint a house from a bar on the outside, he uses transparent or translucent paints. So, as mentioned earlier, painting the outside of a house is a rather complicated process. However, in any case, it is best to do it yourself.

Preparatory process

Often, painting a house from a bar on the outside is accompanied by very large-scale preparatory work. This is not strange, because if you do not provide for all the possible nuances, then there is a high probability that the work will not be done at the proper level, and this cannot be allowed. That is why it is worth preparing in advance, namely, taking into account all the following nuances.

The paint must be diluted in strict accordance with the instructions. Here you need to take into account all the factors that will affect this or that layer. Particular attention in the preparation process should be given to the first layer.

Before starting work related to painting the outside of a log house, it is worth vacuuming its surface to remove all excess that could accumulate between the logs. Otherwise, those places where there was dirt or chips residues can quickly change color.

If the outside of the house is painted with ordinary brushes, then only two layers of paint can be applied. If an airbrush is used for these purposes, then you can walk 3-4 times in the same place.

It is also worth remembering that what tool will be used for painting directly depends on how the house will look from the outside. If we are talking about using an airbrush here, then the surface will definitely turn out to be glossy, that is, shiny. If a conventional brush or roller is used for painting, then it will be matte.

Before you start painting, the log house must be sanded. And this must be done with the highest quality. Otherwise, roughness remains on the surface of the wall, which will then reveal itself in the process of cleaning the surface. This should definitely be avoided.

You should not trust the color that is present on the reference painted board. It will be different on the wall anyway. This is not because manufacturers are cheating their customers, but because the staining area will be very different from that used as a test. This should not be afraid, since the shade will not differ much.

By the way, some tools were mentioned above. Basically you will need:

• brushes;
• roller;
• empty containers;
• spray gun;
• sandpaper;
• stairs;
• some unnecessary clothes;
• gloves.

If the construction time is delayed, then there is a high probability that the log house in different places will have a different tone. In this case, you will have to first deal with leveling the color of the surface. This is done extremely simply. Chemical bleach is applied to the wall before painting. Only after that the wall should be painted with the chosen paint or varnish.

Before painting, you should think about the fact that after this process, neither the outside of the house nor the inside will smell like a fresh smell of wood. Any paint will instantly destroy this fragrance. And even one layer is enough. The only thing that will remain is the properties of wood, for which people love wooden houses.

All those products that can be applied to wood are divided into two large groups - varnished and varnishless. The first option forms a protective film on the surface of the tree, which protects it from external influences. The second type of coating is characterized by a short service life, which is often limited to five years. It also does not create a protective layer on the surface, but penetrates into the wood.

It is best to use varnishes that have an acrylic base. They have an elastic base, which will not collapse during the drying process of the tree.

For outdoor work, a wide variety of paints and varnishes can be used. Which option to choose? This is worth talking about in more detail. So, it is worth talking about the main characteristics of the paints that are used today for painting wooden houses on the outside.

1. Oil paints. They are used very rarely for painting houses outside. They are very sensitive to UV rays. They have a negative effect on them. Quite quickly, the surface, which is painted with just such a paint, becomes unusable, that is, it simply changes its color.
2. Alkyd paints. Poorly suited for use outside wooden buildings. Here, rather, we can talk about metal or plastered surfaces.
3. Emulsion paints do a good job with the water that gets on them. They don't fade in the sun. They are very similar to adhesive paints, which are washed out with water over time. This is unacceptable for exterior painting of a house made of timber, so they should not be taken as a basis.
4. Silicate paints, which are based on liquid glass, are also not used for application to wooden surfaces. They are most often applied only to plastered, stone or concrete walls. And here we can talk about external use.
5. Water-dispersion paints can also be used for exterior painting of a house made of timber. By the way, they are very easy to use and allow the surface on which they are applied to breathe.
6. Acrylic paints are one of the best choices for exterior wall coverings. They are easily washed off with water until completely dry. They are practically not affected by the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Their durability is the envy of any other type of paintwork that is used for exterior painting of timber walls.

Any paint has a number of parameters that must be paid attention to when choosing a particular option. For example, the gloss index indicates how glossy the surface will be. This type of paint has several disadvantages. All of them show a wide variety of defects on the surface, as well as cracks and focus on roughness.

However, they also have one tangible plus. It lies in the fact that it is quite easy to care for such a surface. It can be wiped with an ordinary cloth, after which it will shine.

Some Features

The drying speed of different types of paints is not the same. At the same time, paints that are made on volatile solvents and those that have an emulsion base dry out fastest. Oil paints take the longest to dry. If you add desiccant to any paint, it will dry much faster than the usual standard version.

Another very important indicator for any paint that is used for exterior painting of a house is light fastness.

This parameter characterizes how much the bright coating will fade over time under the influence of ultraviolet rays. A very important parameter when it comes to exterior painting of the house.

Thus, there is a huge number of the most diverse types of paint that are used to apply to a particular surface. Acrylic paints are best suited for outdoor work with a log. They are easy to apply and dry almost instantly. Not a bad option for anyone who decides to paint their own home.

It is worth noting that all types of paint that are applied to the surface of a house from a bar must be characterized by high resistance to ultraviolet rays. It is very detrimental to many types of paint and varnish coatings.

When painting the surface of the walls, it is imperative to take into account many nuances that allow you to maximize the quality of processing. Which ones need to be taken into account was described a little earlier. If you ignore them, then there is a high probability that the coating will turn out to be of poor quality and the work will have to be redone from the very beginning.

When thinking about how to paint a house from a bar outside, it must be remembered that painting for a bar is not only a decorative element, but also protection from the negative effects of the external environment, ensuring safety and durability.

Painting a house from a bar should include: antiseptic wood treatment and varnishing or paint.

Having a country house or a summer house is a dream of many residents of cities and especially megacities. Constant city noise, stuffiness, crowds of people on the streets are very tiring and make you want to retire to a quiet place, breathe fresh air, communicate with nature. Therefore, a comfortable country house is often not just material property, but an urgent vital necessity.

Not everyone can afford to buy a ready-made country house. But after all, you can build a house on a suburban area with your own hands. It will cost an order of magnitude cheaper, and the result will be exactly what the owner of the future building needs. Especially if all the preliminary steps were done competently, thoroughly, sensibly: choosing a site, designing a future home, drawing up an estimate, planning construction work, choosing a material.

The main thing, when starting to build a house, is to remember that this will require a certain investment of time, labor, and money. When starting to build a country house, you need to carefully study the information about the materials on the market, consult with experts and those who have already gone down this path.

What is good about a house made of timber

After the site has been selected, the dimensions and layout of the future home have been thought out, it is necessary to decide on the choice of material for it. This is the main question. Depending on what the house will be built from, the issue of the necessary foundation, insulation, etc. is being decided.

Currently, one of the most popular materials for suburban buildings is timber: calibrated, glued or profiled. It is an environmentally friendly, relatively inexpensive material with good thermal insulation properties.

For the construction of a house from a bar, laying a massive foundation is not required. Equipment will be needed only to deliver the material to the construction site. All this significantly reduces the cost of the house and facilitates construction.

In addition to the main house from a bar, you can also build an outbuilding, a mezzanine, a summer kitchen, a bathhouse or a sauna. For outbuildings, this material is not used.

The insulation of the walls of the house from profiled or any other timber is made from natural (moss, tow, etc.) or modern synthetic materials. For home heating during the cold season, it is best to install an electric or gas boiler with a steam heating system.

Finishing a finished house from a bar

Proper painting of a house from a bar is a very important point. The solution of this issue should be treated with special attention, because not only the appearance of the building depends on it, but also its safety and durability. A properly selected coating will protect the house from corrosion, rot, fungus, mold and other factors that reduce its service life. Waterproofing and protection from direct sunlight will also help preserve the original qualities of wood and its natural color.

Basic painting rules

It is necessary to apply an antiseptic to wood with a brush with a hard natural bristle.

Exterior painting of a log house is carried out when the developer decides to abandon the use of any finishing materials. Before painting a house from a bar with natural moisture, the entire structure must be thoroughly dried. Paints adhere better to dry surfaces.

After drying, the walls of the log house are cleaned of natural contaminants and carefully polished. This will improve the quality of the painting. Polished dust is removed with a brush or a vacuum cleaner set to the blowing mode.

A primer (antiseptic) is applied to the surface prepared in this way. The primer must be applied to all natural or artificial irregularities of the timber: bends, cracks, small chips. The primer dries usually no more than an hour. After that, it must be applied with a second layer.

Only after the primer has dried again can the paintwork be applied. It is also applied twice or thrice. Drying of each layer must be carried out according to the technical instructions on the packaging.

It is better to apply finishing materials with a brush or spray. The main thing to remember is that the brush should only move vertically. Paints and varnishes applied with horizontal movements lie unevenly, paint over the timber insufficiently and look very sloppy.

What materials are best to use

The choice of exterior decoration of a wooden house from a bar depends on the material used in the construction. A house made of calibrated or profiled timber will be more practical to cover the outside with various finishing materials. In this case, you do not have to constantly update the painting. A house made of glued laminated timber is better to paint.

Usually, the painting of glued laminated timber houses is carried out using natural coloring compounds. This contributes to the preservation of the natural appearance of wood, its environmental qualities, and is also safer for the residents of the house than, for example, synthetic compounds.

For exterior painting of a finished log house, coloring compositions made on the basis of natural materials are used: clay, oil, water, etc. It should be remembered that painting a house from glued beams with synthetic coloring compositions is highly undesirable.

Facade paints can be matte or semi-matte, glossy or semi-gloss. For a bar are used:

• acrylates;
• antiseptics;
• oil paints.

Acrylic coloring compositions have high strength, are well applied and do not require constant updating. Their main disadvantage is their high cost.

For work you will need: a roller, brushes, rags and so on.

Antiseptic compositions are made from organic substances, water and various additives. Dried antiseptics protect the painted surface well. The main disadvantage of antiseptic formulations is low stability and long drying after application.

Oil paints are still considered the most economical and reliable. Their popularity is ensured by high protective properties and low prices. The main disadvantages of oil-based compositions: long drying and susceptibility of painted surfaces to fading, cracking and small chips.

After applying the paint and completely drying the painted surface, it is recommended to apply a layer of natural varnish. This will help to fix the paint and further level the surface, because the varnish, as a rule, lays down without smudges.

When choosing a specific composition, it is better to give preference to products from well-known manufacturers. Their long-standing presence in the market for these products will be a guarantee of the quality of the goods offered. A well-known manufacturer is unlikely to want to lower its rating with a low-quality product.

Interior painting of a wooden house

Painting the timber inside the house is also a very important moment of finishing work. Painted timber walls look much better and become more resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and mechanical damage.

It is better to use special paints for the internal processing of timber. These compositions have high strength, various colors, stability and retain a bright and fresh look for a long time, providing additional protection against deformation.

You can emphasize the natural aesthetics of the timber from the inside of the walls with the help of wax, drying oil or special oils. Small natural imperfections of the walls made of timber can be covered with mastic, which will not only help to level the walls, but also give them a special velvety.

Properly selected and carefully applied paints and varnishes will protect and decorate the house from a bar. Tastefully decorated interior will give a country house a special coziness. This will make such a house a great place for the owner of the house, his family and friends to relax.

Painting a house from a bar can be done with different materials. Consider the features of the implementation of this procedure, as well as the procedure for painting the house.

Painting a house from a bar outside - general information

One of the most popular and deservedly the best materials for building a house is wood: wood is a natural material. That is why, special microclimatic conditions are preserved in houses made of timber, regardless of what time of year it is. However, to preserve these properties, the surface of the house must be covered with specialized paints and varnishes.

Due to the smooth surface, the timber used in construction does not require a special decorative finish. However, in order to preserve the properties of wood and fully protect it from the effects of various climatic factors, the surface must be covered with a specialized paint that has antiseptic properties.

It is worth saying that it is advisable to carry out the process of painting a house from a bar as soon as possible. The fact is that a frame house for permanent residence, without a specialized coating, can largely lose its appearance during severe frosts or very hot summers. In addition, special paints for wood allow you to protect it from rotting, mold or precipitation.

Types of paintwork

On sale today there are two main types of paint and varnish coatings:

• Impregnation type products
• Film-forming agents that are antiseptic

Impregnation type products are also divided into two types - those that have a water and organic basis. Water-based antiseptics, when coated with wood, get inside the material without any problems, and also do not have any specific smell. The use of these products allows you to preserve the natural properties of wood. If we talk about products that have an organic basis, then it is worth saying that they have excellent penetrating properties. In addition, such products contain various valuable additives that are designed for preventive properties, as well as to combat a variety of fungi and mold that form on the material.

Means that are film-forming can also be divided into two main types:

• Transparent formulations
• Opaque formulations

Transparent compositions allow you to preserve the original appearance of wood. In turn, the final color of the timber depends on its quality, wood species, and so on. The color of the timber may also vary depending on the number of layers of coating used. When choosing a composition of this type, you should know that after a certain time, it is washed out with water. Therefore, this coverage should be updated periodically.

Opaque compositions, in their appearance resemble ordinary paint. After a house made of timber has been covered with such a composition, after a while a protective film forms on its surface. The film allows you to protect the surface of the house from the occurrence of fungus, mold or moisture. In addition, such a coating is resistant to various atmospheric phenomena and sunlight. The properties of wood, when using opaque paints and varnishes, are not lost.

The process of painting a house from a bar

Before you start work and start the process of painting a house from glued laminated timber, as well as from any other type of timber, you should read the instructions that come with each paint and varnish product. Note that the paint for the house from the timber should be fully enough to paint the entire surface. Otherwise, when re-painting, the color may differ significantly from the one that was originally.

The surface of the timber must be completely dry. In addition, painting is recommended to be carried out at a temperature of at least +5 C. The painting process should be carried out in the morning, since by the evening the surface will have dried. If you paint the surface in the evening, then morning dew can significantly spoil the quality of the work done.

In the process of painting a house from a bar inside, you can use various types of oils, mastics or paints and varnishes. This is due to the fact that materials of this type, as a rule, are produced on the basis of drying oil and linseed oil.

Thus, they are harmless to the human body. Using oils, it is possible to obtain a beautiful shade of the surface and at the same time, to fully preserve the quality of the wood.

However, for high-quality timber processing, the use of oil alone will not be sufficient. The fact is that such products do not cope with the resulting dirt or dampness.

If we talk about the use of natural mastics, then it is worth saying that they are designed to hide the shortcomings of wood, as well as to hide defects. The use of mastic allows you to give the wood surface a dull finish and at the same time, to fully ensure the effective protection of wood from various kinds of pollution and moisture ingress.

On the market for these products there is a large selection of paints and varnishes that are used for painting and imparting protective properties to wood species. Varnishes for wood are divided into three main types:

• Acrylic
• Alkyd
• Polyurethane

Depending on the type of paint and varnish coating, the painted surface can acquire a glossy, semi-gloss and matte look. The use of such products allows you to protect the surface from moisture and mold. In addition, under such a coating it becomes possible to hide various shortcomings of the timber. Wood at the same time will be able to retain all its properties. The only drawback when using paint products is its toxicity during the painting process. However, after the surface has dried, products of this type become completely harmless to the people around them.

Thus, the implementation of painting a house from a bar is an important task, for which there are many means.
