Painting the walls with textured paint with your own hands. Do-it-yourself decorative wall painting

Perfect alignment walls for painting - a long, tedious and rather costly job, from which many try to get away, using drywall and losing part of the usable area. But now you can do it easier, saving not only time, but also money. This will allow you to make textured painting of the walls with your own hands with special compounds, which will be discussed here.

Textured wall paint is produced in the form of a thick viscous mass based on an acrylic, mineral or silicone binder, which includes fillers that give the surface a relief. It can be colored and white. Mineral compositions for finishing facades can also be sold in the form of a loose mixture, which is diluted with water.

For reference. In the white version, mainly water-soluble paints are produced, which can be tinted independently using special pigments.

The walls already finished with it are difficult to distinguish from those on which decorative plaster and ordinary paint have been applied. That is, the effect is almost the same, but do-it-yourself textured paint is applied much easier and faster.

Types and sizes of filler

According to the type of particles included in the composition for density and relief, texture paints are divided into compositions with the following fillers:

• Granite or marble chips;
• Crushed gas silicate;
• Quartz sand;
• Metal particles with reflective properties;
• Sawdust;
• Natural and synthetic fibres.

They may also include modified starch and other thickeners, as well as special pigments that give the coating the effect of silk or mother-of-pearl. In shape, these particles are most often scaly or drop-shaped.

And the depth and severity of the future relief depends on their size:

• Fine-grained paints include paints with a filler diameter of up to 0.5 mm;
• To medium-grained - 0.5-1 m;
• To coarse-grained - 1-2 mm.

Application area

Like all the others paints and varnishes, textured paints, depending on the composition, can be used both for outdoor and for internal works. Therefore, before buying, you need to familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the manufacturer.

As for the type of base on which they can be applied, it is:

• Wood;
• Plaster;
• Concrete;
• Brick or stone masonry.

Manufacturers and prices

Despite the fact that this material is relatively new, texture wall paints are produced by many manufacturers.

Among them, the following brands are especially popular:

• Ecoroom;
• organic;
• Clavel;
• amourcoat;
• GALAMIX;
• Bayramix;
• Balticolor and many others.

The price depends on many factors: the type of binder and filler, the presence of unique additives, color, manufacturer. average cost It is rather difficult to voice, since the spread is large.

For reference. For example, a 20-kilogram can of Prorab Sandeco textured paint from Bayramix costs about 1,500 rubles. The same volume of SuperDecor paint from Balticolor will cost 4,000 rubles. And Arabesco from Clavel is already 9400 rubles.

If you want to save money or create something of your own, there is a way to make textured paint with your own hands. To do this, add clean sawdust, granite chips or quartz sand to acrylic paint. The latter are sold in hardware stores. But select the initial composition carefully, taking into account where you plan to use it - on the facade or in the interior.

Stages of applying textured paint

Before applying paint to the walls, they must be leveled. But not to perfect smoothness - but simply by level. Small irregularities and cracks can be left untouched: the composition is applied in a fairly thick layer, it will perfectly hide everything. In addition, the relief surface visually masks small flaws.

Note. Of course, the surface must be durable, without crumbling and falling off pieces. And to ensure good adhesion, it must be treated with a deep penetration primer. Preferably on the same basis as the paint itself.

Decorative surface painting textured paint are divided into two stages. This is preparatory stage and the application of dye.

Training

This work is not difficult, but mandatory.

It will mainly determine the durability of the coating:

• It is necessary to carefully check the treated wall for any deformations, even the smallest ones, which over time can damage the integrity of the textured layers.
• A prerequisite is the removal of the old surface coating, complete cleaning of the walls and getting rid of possible defects. Maximum allowable difference height values ​​are about two millimeters.
• To improve the adhesion of the coating to the work surface, it is worth covering it with a primer (see Primer for walls for painting - types and tasks), created on the basis of acrylic. A row of soil must be applied evenly, and color solution must exactly repeat the note of the selected paint. After applying the primer, you need to wait for its complete drying, which will last from three to five hours.

Application

For plastic, this finish is not used, the plaster simply will not hold, but when applying, you must adhere to a certain set of rules:

• Before the beginning painting work the container filled with the prepared mixture must be brought to a degree value, which is typical for a room.
• Next comes the process of mixing the composition, which is best done with a special construction mixer.

Attention: It is allowed to add water to the composition of the paint, the amount of which should be two or three percent of the total volume of the dye.

• You need to know exactly which texture will be ideal. Already in accordance with this, it is necessary to supplement the mixture with the necessary proportions of special additives. The overall consistency will depend precisely on how much of such a filler will be taken for the total mass.
• As a rule, “texture” is applied in 1-2 layers in stages. This will be enough to achieve the desired result. After finishing the work, you will have to wait a day for the paint to dry completely.
• Despite the fact that hardening occurs after a quarter of an hour, it is necessary to allow the paint to dry completely. It is then that it will acquire the desired texture and shade, and the interior will not look unfinished.

Tools and resulting effects

The texture of the finished wall will depend not only on the type and size of the filler, but also on the method of applying paint to the wall. There are formulations that come with clear instruction how to act. But for most embossed wall paints, you can use different ways and tools and get different textures.

• Brush or brush. After applying textured paint to an area of ​​​​1.5-2 square meters, a wide and fairly rigid brush is taken, with which lines are applied to the surface in any direction: vertical, horizontal, cross, wavy, etc.

• Comb. With it, you can get a more pronounced and rare relief, using the same method.

• Putty knife. Im on the processed first thin layer the surface is applied with rough, rare strokes of paint, which are shaped into a stone. This is perhaps the most difficult self-produced way.

• An ordinary roller with a fur or foam rubber coat (see). Rolling it over fresh paint, you can get a uniformly rough surface, the relief of which will depend on the type of fur coat.

• Figured roller. This is a roller with an embossed surface, with a convex pattern that is imprinted on freshly applied paint. To work with it, a section of the wall must be processed to the full height from floor to ceiling so that the pattern is not interrupted.

• Natural sponge, crumpled paper or cloth. All these devices are used according to the principle of facing - that is, they stamp the surface with “bumping” movements, as it were.

Even yours can become a tool own hands in rubber gloves. You can draw patterns with your fingers or set prints over the entire surface.

When working with textured paint, the main thing is not to be afraid to experiment. For example, you can apply brush strokes different color and then blend them with a large soft sponge.

But no more than 15 minutes are allotted for any decoration - then the paint begins to dry. Therefore, it is recommended to apply it in small areas. Or work in tandem with an assistant.

Advantages and disadvantages

This material has a lot of advantages:

• The ability to mask various minor defects and uneven walls without puttying them;
• Creation of a homogeneous seamless surface;
• The possibility of finishing with your own hands with a spectacular result and saving money on the services of specialists;
• Resistance to mechanical damage, moisture resistance, vapor permeability;
• Absence of harmful toxic substances.

However, it also has disadvantages. First of all, this is the need to completely remove the coating if in the future you want to change the finish to a smooth interior paint or wallpaper.

And high flow. For 1 sq.m. the surface of such paint may require from 600 grams to 1.5 kilograms. What affects the final cost of finishing.

Conclusion

If you've never worked with textured interior paint, it's best to practice on a piece of plywood or an inconspicuous area of ​​the wall first, getting your hands full and experimenting with the texture. And to understand the technology of creating a particular relief, carefully watch the video in this article and other training and demonstration videos.

Textured coloring compositions allow you to simulate interiors indoors for every taste. Such paints open up ample opportunities for a person to create original decorative solutions in houses and apartments. This is why consumers love them.

Textured compositions - a guarantee of unusual and beautiful wall decoration

Tastefully finished wall surfaces are considered one of the main elements of the refined design of living rooms and other premises. Many modern products used for decoration cannot boast of environmental friendliness and safety of use. Manufacturers are constantly trying to solve this problem by regularly throwing new finishing materials onto the construction markets. One of them is textured wall paint. She quickly gained popularity among craftsmen who love to repair and decorate their homes on their own, focusing on their own taste and ideas of beauty.

The material we are interested in is ideal for home creativity. With its help, many self-taught masters manage to create chic interiors. Textured finishing compositions, also called relief or structural, visually represent a homogeneous dense mass. It consists of artificially made or natural elements. Among them are particles of various polymers, quartz sand, marble and granite chips, small components of gas silicate. All of these minerals are strictly calibrated (have approximately the same geometric parameters) and are characterized by some special shape (scaly, drop-shaped, etc.). Thanks to this, a special texture of the paint is formed.

An important element of structural compositions is the binder used to create them. It acts as a base and is usually made of silicate, silicone or acrylic. Mineral particles vary in size. Some paints use large grains of filler (1–2 mm in size), others use medium grains (0.5–1 mm), and others use very small grains (no more than 0.5 mm).

We add that embossed finishing mixtures are classified as different types, depending on the work for which they are used. There are compositions for indoor use and paints for decorating facades, building plinths. Moreover, any kind of composition is presented in a wide color and texture design. Finding the right shade of paint is really easy.

Relief paints - solid virtues or not everything is so smooth?

Textured compositions, as noted, are created on the basis of aqueous dispersions. In this case, no solvents are used. This leads to a high environmental friendliness of finishing compositions. They do not harm human health. And here one nuance immediately arises. When applied to the treated surfaces, structural paint forms a film on it, which prevents the process of moisture exchange.

On the one hand, this is good. But in the absence of moisture exchange, the walls simply stop breathing, which causes a violation of the balanced microclimate in the living room. This is, you see, unacceptable. In fact, the moisture resistance of the relief composition is its real advantage only in cases where it is used to finish bathrooms and kitchens. In other situations this feature paint can be called a disadvantage, not an advantage.

And now let's look at the real (and not disputed by anyone) advantages of the described paints:

1. 1. Durability, unique reliability, operational appeal. The structural coating is characterized by resistance to mechanical stress, ultraviolet, abrasion loads. It has high fire-fighting qualities, is completely antistatic. Such a coating has been in operation for decades, practically without changing its initial properties.
2. 2. Ease of care. The durable and smooth surface of the paint does not need to be washed with special compounds. Microorganisms do not multiply on the coating, since it is absolutely not sensitive to moisture, it is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth from time to time. Such cleaning allows you to remove any dirt from the finish and even erase drawings made with colored pencils.
3. 3. Easy to apply with your own hands. relief compositions is such a simple operation that any self-taught master who has never performed any finishing activities on his own can handle it. The paints in question fit without problems on any surface, from wood to concrete and brick.

The main advantage of structural finishing is the opportunity to show your imagination to the fullest in the process of self-decorating the walls. Such scope for creativity is not able to provide any other modern material.

Types of structural compositions - what texture can be obtained?

There are not many types of relief paints. They are divided into different groups depending on the texture obtained after finishing activities:

1. 1. Marseille wax. A composition that makes it possible to obtain an imitated structure of cork or natural stone cladding. This type of paint is especially in demand when creating an unshaken design in office space, public swimming pools, entertainment venues - bars, restaurants. After staining, it is imperative to apply a special wax with special decorative properties. For home decoration, such compositions are used relatively rarely.
2. 2. Mizuri. Allows you to get both a smooth and textured finish. Mizuri always contains a modified type of starch, created on the basis of acrylic compounds.
3. 3. Atacama. A very popular type of embossed paint. It imitates (very, we note, realistically) a velvet coating. The second feature of the paint is the high light reflection effect. Atacama includes rare metallic pigments and small particles of quartz sand.
4. 4. Relief. This is the easiest option for self-application paint based on acrylic polymers. A variety of additives can be present in the composition of such paints (only quartz fine chips are mandatory) in varying proportions. It is relief compositions of different colors that are most often used by home craftsmen.

There are also lesser-known varieties of the described finishing compositions. Some of them are made strictly on a mineral basis. Such paints in most cases are produced in the form of dry compositions, which are diluted with water before use. Mineral compositions, as a rule, are intended for facade finishing work. Silicone paints have not become popular due to the fact that they are not able to protect the coating from the appearance of mold and fungus. And silicate compositions from any manufacturers have objectively high cost.

Preparing the walls and choosing a tool - how to start right?

Spectacular textured walls can only be obtained if they are properly prepared for painting. Everything is simple here. We need to clear the wall of old finish, remove dust and dirt from the surface, cover large cracks and similar defects with putty. After that, we level the base and, if necessary, plaster it. Nuance. If the irregularities on the walls do not exceed 2 mm, you do not need to use plaster. The paint itself will hide such minor surface flaws. But priming the bases is a mandatory operation.

Any soil can be used. The main thing is that it fits the material from which the walls in the room are built. For example, for brick and concrete surfaces commonly used primer Betonokontakt. Priming compounds not only protect the base from excess moisture, but also give texture patterns special expressiveness. Relief material is applied to the walls different tools. Can be used:

1. 1. trowel;
2. 2. roller;
3. 3. spatula;
4. 4. atomizer;
5. 5. regular sponge.

Trowel is most often used by professional finishers. With this tool, whole paintings and art panels on the walls are created. The use of a trowel requires from a person both theoretical knowledge in painting and considerable practical experience. If you do not have either the first or the second, it is better to apply structural compositions with a roller. This is the simplest and most understandable technology for self-taught. It is recommended to apply compositions of the category with a roller Relief. You just need to soak the tool in a container of paint, roll it out with high quality, and then proceed to creative design walls.

The spatula is optimal for creating inhomogeneous and complex textures. Specialists use gear tools. These spatulas add volume to the coating. To obtain emphatically "rough" structures, special rigid devices are used. And tenderness and lightness of the coating can be given with a soft spatula.

It is better not to use sprayers for beginners. It is very difficult for an inexperienced person to determine the power of the jet, which will be enough to create a coating of the required thickness. If you, nevertheless, plan to use a sprayer, we strongly advise you to practice with it first. Try to evenly paint, for example, a small sheet of drywall. If everything works out, start decorating the walls. If the result of the test is disappointing, it is better to arm yourself with a roller or sponge. The latter, by the way, is very popular among self-taught masters. A sponge and a variety of stencils are a great way textured decor wall surfaces.

The fastest stage is the work with the paint itself

The technology of textured staining is elementary. The scheme for applying the structural composition of the selected color to the walls is as follows:

1. 1. We withstand the paint in the room. She must be room temperature.
2. 2. We add fillers to the composition if we plan to get a certain decorative effect.
3. 3. We mix the composition with a construction mixer.
4. 4. We select the site from which we will begin work. It should be no more than 2 sq. m.
5. 5. We apply paint to the intended area. The layer of material must be thick. Otherwise, we will not be able to create the given invoice.

Then we form the required finishing structure with the selected tool. Note! The fixing of relief compositions on wall surfaces is observed already 15–20 minutes after applying the composition (therefore, large pieces of bases cannot be processed immediately). But the complete solidification of the paint will occur only after 24 hours. Consider these features of the textured material. And you will not have any difficulty creating chic coatings on the walls of your home!

In the past, the main types finishing materials for the walls there were wallpapers and almost indelible oil paints. Today's construction market offers big choice finishing materials.

One of the most popular is textured wall paint, due to its excellent characteristics. It can be painted on almost any surface, for example, brick, concrete, wood and other types. Thanks to special additives it can be used both for internal and external works.

Textured paint is a special material, which is a viscous homogeneous mass of white color.

The presence of acrylic as a binder makes it resistant to mechanical and atmospheric influences, which makes it possible to use it for outdoor work.

By adding different colors, you can get any colors and shades. If desired, the color can be ordered from the manufacturer, then the resulting mixture can be immediately used for work. Depending on additional fillers, it is possible to imitate various surfaces.

Painting with textured paint can be carried out on surfaces with minor defects, recesses of no more than 2 mm are allowed. Much depends on the application method. If the differences in irregularities are large, then it is better to apply a layer of plaster.

There are such types of textured paints:

In addition, after applying textured paint, the surface can be additionally decorated by applying a transparent varnish to it, to which special creative pastes are added. With such a coating, the surface will change depending on the degree and angle of illumination, which can be used in the design of the premises.

If we talk about the merits of textured paints, they are in many ways superior in practicality to their counterparts, as they contain acrylic copolymers, which provide the following properties:

• High moisture resistance allows the use of paints in wet rooms, makes it possible to wash the surface.
• Resistant to mold, do not absorb odors.
• Ecological cleanliness, hypoallergenicity, do not contain harmful substances.
• High temperature resistance, frost resistance.
• Resistance to mechanical and atmospheric influences.
• High vapor permeability for natural moisture regulation.
• Can be applied to any type of surface.
• Masking minor irregularities and filling gaps.
• Resistant to sunlight.
• Excellent decorative details.
• Ease and ease of use.

The listed characteristics show that textured paints are great for interior finishing works and for facade decoration.

Application options and tools for the job

The use of textured paints in design makes it possible to express your imagination and make the interior of the room unique. Thanks to texture paints you can imitate fabric, marble, create a floral ornament.

There are many options for creating surfaces with different patterns, you just need to know some secrets of application technology and use the appropriate tool.

To obtain relief surface can be added as a filler to the mixture sawdust, which will make the structure more rough.

If it is necessary that the structure is smoother, water is added. If the design requires sharp edges, quartz sand is used as a filler.

The tool chosen for the job helps to get different surfaces. You can use the following tools:

With the help of a brush, after the material has hardened, you can draw unusual pictures, however, this requires the talent of an artist. If you apply paint in the usual way, then it is better to take a wide brush and apply paint in large strokes. In order for the wall texture to learn to be uniform, you must first apply horizontal stripes and then vertical.

To apply paint with a roller, you need several rollers different widths. The main layer is applied with a large roller.

When applied, vertical movements are performed. A small roller is used to touch up inaccuracies and for hard-to-reach places.

By wrapping the roller with a rope and moving upwards on the surface of the wall, you can create an imitation of stems. Various structural rollers with a ready-made pattern applied to them are widely used.

With a spatula, you can make a variety of stains that will add originality to the pattern. A rough spatula is more suitable for applying embossed paint with a coarse filler.

With a soft spatula, more delicate textures can be applied. Unique patterns can be obtained using a wet rag or paper crumpled and placed in cellophane.

Painting with the help of a pneumatic sprayer is possible. Apply the paint carefully, as it is difficult to control the layer of paint.

Before painting, it is better to practice on some surface. Using a sponge, various patterns can be applied to the surface using stencils.

To obtain a two-tone pattern on the walls using decorative painting, you can use the following methods:

• Horizontal stripes are made with a pointed object on a solution that has not yet solidified. While the coating is not completely frozen, using a thin stencil, a solution of a different color is applied. Thus, a pattern appears on the surface, which looks spectacular on a relief surface.
• You can make a pattern on the wall in the form geometric pattern. To do this, you can use masking or any other adhesive tape. It is glued to the surface in the form of some kind of geometric pattern. Then paint of a different color is applied to the surface. When it dries a little, the tape must be removed.
• A wall with a two-color coating will look original if you run a comb with large teeth in different directions along it. Wherein upper layer shouldn't dry out.

Wall preparation and application technology

Before decorative painting is carried out, the surface must be prepared.

First you need to remove the previous coating. Then the surface is cleaned of dirt and dust. Large gaps should be sealed with putty. Then the surface must be leveled and plastered. Irregularities should not exceed 2 mm.

At the last stage of wall preparation, an appropriate primer must be applied. It will ensure complete adhesion of the paint to the wall surface, even out irregularities and protect the wall from excess moisture. Thanks to the primer, the patterns will look more expressive.

The choice of primer must be approached responsibly. It must match the paint used and match the color. Before use, the primer is stirred with a construction mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained. First, the wall is moistened with a damp sponge.

Then the mixture is applied in a thin layer so that there are no streaks and accumulation of material. The primer is applied with a roller and a small brush for hard-to-reach places.

The primer dries from 4 to 24 hours, the drying time is usually indicated on the package. In addition, the drying time is affected by the temperature and humidity in the room. Only after the final drying of the primer, a finishing decorative finish is applied.

The technology of painting with textured paint is somewhat different from the usual one, but mastering it is quite simple. Before work, the paint must warm up to room temperature. If you need to get the usual flat surface of the wall, then you should add a little water to the mixture.

1% of the total volume will be enough. If you need to get some effect, appropriate fillers are added. Then the mixture should be thoroughly mixed with a construction mixer.

The paint is applied in one layer. It must be necessarily thick, otherwise it will be impossible to create a textured pattern.

The application area should not be large, no more than two square meters. To create decorative patterns, you need to use the appropriate tool. Textured paint is fixed on the walls for 15 minutes, but finally dries out in a day.

The use of textured paints allows you to get unique surfaces and make interesting design rooms, making it attractive and unique.

Not so long ago, the most popular way of finishing was plaster. But the emergence of new building materials radically changed this situation. So, textured paint, which has good operational and decorative qualities, is gaining more and more popularity.

Read about its properties and how to use it below.

Characteristics of textured paint

What it is

Let's start with the question of what is textured paint? This is the name of the special coloring material, which has a structural filler in its composition. For this reason, it is often referred to as structural or textural.

Apply this coating to treated surfaces. They can be concrete, brick or wood.

This mixture is used for both external and internal work. It has a homogeneous structure and a viscous consistency. The color is mostly white.

Advantages and disadvantages

Textured painting has a number of advantages.

They are enclosed in the following:

• resistance to temperature extremes;
• the ability to hide minor wall defects;
• resistance to mechanical damage;
• no tendency to burn out under the influence of sunlight;
• safety for human health;
• vapor permeability;
• practicality;
• variety of color and texture shades;
• hypoallergenicity.

The disadvantage of this coating is that it has increased consumption, equal to approximately 1kg/m² of surface. Because of this, the price of such wall processing becomes higher.

The procedure for painting walls with textured paint

Preparatory work

The technology of applying textured paint begins with preparatory work.

They are as follows:

1. the old coating is removed;
2. wall surfaces are cleaned, if necessary, leveled and then puttied;
3. an adhesive primer is applied to the processed ones - it improves the adhesion between the applied paint and the wall. Its drying time is 5 hours;
4. before applying the textured paint, it should be thoroughly mixed and, if necessary, add a color scheme of a certain color.

Advice!
To facilitate the work process, you can add a little water to the mixture.
At the same time, its total volume should not exceed 1% of the total mass of the composition.

Applying a textured finish

Methods for applying textured paint can be different, depending on what decorative effect is planned to be obtained with their help.

But they also have things in common:

• the mixture is applied to the wall with the help of - they alternately process areas with an area of ​​\u200b\u200bno more than 2 m²;
• a narrow trowel is used to apply the coating on the corners;
• It takes 24 hours for 1 coat of paint to dry completely.

Let's move on to a description of specific methods of how textured paint can be applied.

Let's consider three options:

1. use of a foam roller - a textured composition of white color is applied to the wall with a spatula and leveled. Immediately after that, by rolling the foam roller on the wall, a texture is created, which is then smoothed with a trowel. A day later, the wall is painted with pale blue enamel with a brush, excess paint is removed with a foam sponge. The wall is sanded with a grater, the resulting dust is removed with a dry brush, after which a layer of mother-of-pearl enamel is applied with a fine-naped roller;

In the photo - foam roller

1. the use of a trowel - a composition dyed with color in light brown color applied to the wall in two layers. The first - with a wide spatula, and the second - with a trowel. A day later, the dried surface is covered with a matte white enamel using a fine-naped roller;

1. use of a rubber roller - do it yourself with a spatula applied to the wall coloring composition . Then, a texture is attached to the coating with a structural roller. Next, the surface is left for a day to dry completely.

Advice!
Drawing patterns is somewhat difficult for an inexperienced person.
Therefore, first you need to try your hand at one small plot walls.
This will help to acquire the necessary skill and avoid unnecessary expenses associated with redoing the entire coating.

The above methods are only individual examples of decorating a textured surface. In fact, there are a lot of such options and they are limited only by fantasy. home master. Therefore, here you can and should experiment, creating unusual and attractive designs.

If you have artistic skills, you can create whole paintings with a brush on a coating that has not yet hardened. But there are also simpler methods. In particular, this is the application of chaotic patterns with a spatula or the use of a thick rope that is wound around a roller.

It is dipped in paint and carried along the walls from top to bottom. The result is a pattern similar to bamboo stalks.

If desired, you can create an interesting effect without the use of special tools. It is enough to pick up a wet rag and start striking it on the painted surface, thereby obtaining an original design.

Another option is to use a crumpled newspaper wrapped in plastic. With it, you can make patterns that resemble flowers.

Conclusion

Textured paint can be surfaces. But first they must be cleaned of the old coating, leveled and puttied.

The paint is applied with large and small spatulas. The resulting coating is given an additional decorative effect through the use of enamels, the use of textured rollers, trowels or brushes. The corresponding instructions were given above.

In general, the variety of design is not limited here. It can be anything, depending on the imagination of the homeowners. Additional information the video in this article will tell you about applying textured paint.

You can make the room stylish and give it an original design with the help of quality finishes. Today, among a large abundance of materials, decorative wall covering with plaster or paint is popular, for which a tool is used - a textured roller. So that the finish has a beautiful appearance, it is recommended to consider in more detail all the nuances of using this device.

The design of the device is quite simple: rollers for painting walls are made of various materials and are attached to the handle by pressing. The cylinder itself is located on a solid metal rod, which is fixed on the handle. Decorative wall paint rollers are used to create sinuous ornaments and patterns that look very advantageous in classic and modern interiors.

To work with the tool usually does not require additional skills. After liquid composition the future coating is diluted, the roller is knurled in a special cuvette. This is done to avoid smudges during work - thus, the paint lays down evenly, and the plaster is applied with a roller without leaving clots on the surface.

In the video: painting with a texture roller.

Important! Experts do not recommend using the same tool for different kind coatings: when applying textured paint, one type of roller is required, when using plaster, another. Besides, there is always an option self-manufacturing tool.

Roller materials for decorative wall treatment

Modern tools differ in material working surface. Applying textured plaster using a decorative roller allows you to divide fixtures into several categories:

A textured roller creates beautiful textured coatings. In addition to these types of materials, foam rubber, foam plastic and fabric are also used. Textured plaster rollers made of foam rubber are suitable for priming the first layer for further decor. They also performed well in creating the effect of bubbles on the wall. In fabric analogues, soft plush material is used, which forms original traces on the surface. The foam product is similar to a structural rubber roller, but is notable for its fragility.

Classification of rollers according to the texture of the finished pattern

Tools have the most diverse structure, thanks to which the final ornament is obtained. Some imitate natural materials, others simply create an arbitrary pattern. All rollers can be divided into 2 groups:

• Textured fixtures- able to transfer materials such as fur, wood, textiles and crumbs to the surface of the plaster natural stone. Via textured roller a relief is created, which is achieved due to the material used to make the tool. For the effect of uneven fibers, a fur roller is used to make an imitation of natural stone suitable rubber product with a special pattern in the form of loops. Such a device is used on a primed wall without the use of pre-finishing.

• structural products. Plastering with a roller of this type involves the application of a complex repeating ornament. This effect is achieved with the help of curly clippings on the roller. The peculiarity of their application lies in the fact that the coating should be applied to the prepared wall with the finish. For example, when the plane is finished with paint or plaster without relief, then it is dried and decorated. To achieve a more beautiful ornament, processing is carried out using a figured roller, which has a certain pattern.

In addition, products are classified according to the width of the roller. They come in sizes from 30 cm and up. The wider the tool, the faster the composition of the textured paint will fall, but choosing a narrow tool, the chances of getting an attractive clear structure are higher.

Self-made tool

As you know, some finishing fixtures are expensive, so making a device with your own hands will be a way out of the situation. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with how to make a textured roller with your own hands.

1. For the first option you will need a clothesline and an old unusable tool with a reliable roller and a strong handle. Before making the device, wrap it with a rope and fix the ends tightly. Depending on the frequency of winding, you can adjust the future texture, which will create a variety of stripes on the wall.
2. The second method involves using an old foam roller. By cutting the roller in several places with sharp scissors, you can get a texture roller with an original effect for the walls. Cuts can be combined with each other, make them wider and longer - all this will be reflected in the plane.
