Preparing the lining for painting. How and with what to paint the lining inside the house: the difficulties of choosing and applying

Lining has long been used to cover various surfaces indoors and outdoors. This is a fairly simple and reliable method for doors, ceilings, and verandas. Wood is one of the environmentally friendly building materials that creates a warm and comfortable microclimate, a feeling of closeness to nature.

But over time, wood loses its aesthetic appearance due to absorbed dust, temperature changes and humidity fluctuations, and therefore needs protection measures.

Proper painting of the lining will save the wood from drying out, dust and damage by insects. Also, painting will make it possible to carry out wet cleaning, protect against the penetration of dirt into the wood sheet.

Is it worth painting the lining?

The answer to this question depends on the room itself, which will be finished with clapboard. Wood without staining darkens very quickly and becomes unattractive.

Of course, it can be bleached with special compounds for wood. But why do it? In addition, the wooden coating is not protected from excess or lack of moisture, and this will eventually lead to drying or swelling of the material. If you want to preserve the original beauty of the wood, use transparent paints and varnishes.

How to paint the lining inside the house?

All means for painting lining can be divided into two groups:

• protective;
• decorative.

The group of protective agents includes primers and impregnations that protect wood from drying out, rotting, insects and fungus. Protective agents completely penetrate deep into the canvas and become invisible after drying.

The group of decorative means includes:

• oil paint;
• acrylate paint;
• decorative glaze;
• acrylic scuba shoes;
• alkyd varnishes;
• stains;
• opaque enamels.

This list can be continued, because the range of paint and varnish products includes quite a lot of different products. All of them differ from each other in price, country of production, service life, environmental friendliness and special decorative properties. For example, someone prefers a hypoallergenic varnish, while someone else is interested in its decorative qualities - dullness or gloss. Let's take a look at the features of the listed paint and varnish products.

Oil paints

They last a long time, repel moisture and dry quickly. But they also have a strong persistent smell. Therefore, the lining should be painted on warm days so that it is possible to ventilate the room. After about 5 years, the painted surface will begin to lose its luster and brightness and will need to be renewed.

Acrylic paint

Very expensive compared to oil. But its advantage is that it does not have a strong smell. The paint dries well at low temperatures, which allows you to work with it at any time of the year. Fast drying at various temperatures and the absence of a persistent odor fully compensate for the high price.

Decorative glaze

Perfectly emphasizes the texture of wood due to its transparency. To give the glaze a certain tone, you can add various colors to its composition.

Acrylic scuba diving

They also retain the texture of wood due to their transparency. Can be used with the addition of color. But not suitable for painting floors.

Alkyd varnishes

Perfectly emphasize the woody pattern. But they should be applied only on a completely dry surface, otherwise they will crack when dried.

Mordants

The composition of the stain does not paint over the wood, it only changes its basic tone. Under the treatment with stain, you need to choose a perfectly even lining, without any flaws in the wood.

Opaque enamels

This enamel completely stains the wood canvas. Usually it is applied in three layers in turn.

What varnishes are there?

A huge selection of paint and varnish products is confusing. To date, varnishes for lining the lining are:

• acrylic water;
• alkyd;
• water-based;
• acrylic polyurethane;
• polyurethane.

Acrylic water is chosen for interior work, according to its structure, they are divided into matte and glossy. Alkyd are suitable for all types of work: internal and external. Water-based are good for interior decoration. Acrylic polyurethane is practically not subject to fading, and is suitable for sunny rooms. Polyurethane varnishes protect wood from yellowing and UV rays.

Color selection

To make the space look harmonious, it is important to consider the right combination of colors.

What color is better to paint the lining? You decide!

• To visually expand the space, choose sand, light beige or white shades.
• Dark tones visually narrow the space.
• The color of the walls, floor and ceiling should not be contrasting.
• Strict seasoned tones are suitable for cabinet decor.
• For the bedroom, the most successful choice would be the natural color of the wood.
• When choosing a light shade, remember that it tends to get dirty.

Wood, as before, remains one of the most popular finishing and building materials. But it, like any organic material, tends to quickly break down, especially if the operating conditions contribute to this. Therefore, despite the natural beauty and environmental friendliness, in order to extend the life of the product, many types of wood need proper chemical treatment. In this article we will tell you the best way to paint the lining inside the house, and how to do it right.

Lining is one of the most affordable and beautiful finishing materials, which has many positive qualities. It is used for cladding the facades of buildings, interiors, attics, baths and verandas, and in city apartments, the owners can organize a natural corner somewhere on the loggia or balcony. But many do not know how to cover the lining inside the house, because they have no idea how to choose the right paint for the type of wood for interior work.

Protective compounds

Often, people prefer to leave the lining unpainted, in its original form. Yes, the natural texture of wood is very attractive, but even under the most comfortable operating conditions, it is exposed to the environment. Over time, with poor ventilation, the wood begins to turn blue, and when exposed to direct sunlight, it darkens.

If an unpainted lining has acquired such a shade, then it must be properly processed in order to restore its original appearance. Blue wood is the result of exposure to microorganisms, so chlorine or active oxygen must be used to whiten the surface.

The gray lining does not need chemical treatment - it is enough to remove the top layer by grinding. Once sanded, the wood will be beautiful again, but without proper treatment, the color will quickly change again.

Therefore, it is best to initially protect the new coating with special compounds:

• Antiseptics- These are substances that destroy microorganisms and prevent their reappearance. All products of this type have a similar composition, and protect the tree from fungi, decay and even insects. This treatment does not change the color of the wood. If you are faced with the question of how to paint eurolining inside the house, then when buying this tool, make sure that it is suitable for interior work.
• Acrylic lacquer- means for creating a moisture-proof layer on the surface of the tree. Used as a protective and decorative agent. It happens transparent and translucent, while it is easily tinted and has a water base.
• flame retardants- substances that protect the tree from fire. Treatment with such compositions is mandatory when sheathing rooms with elevated temperatures and open wiring.

Advice! Do-it-yourself impregnation with flame retardants does not give the same result as machine processing at the factory. Therefore, if you are faced with the problem of choosing a finished product, and self-applying the composition, we recommend that you stop at the first option.

The instruction of each protective agent contains a detailed description of its properties. Some compounds can stain the wood pink or green, which can often only be hidden with opaque paints. Therefore, when choosing a tool, carefully read the annotation.

Decorative coatings

Many of the products used for decorative lining of the lining also have protective properties. Decorative finishing implies that after processing the natural color of the wood will change.

• The most common and long used material on the market is oil paint. Why is she good:
  • The variety of colors allows you to accurately select the desired shade;
  • The resulting glossy coating penetrates deeply into the surface of the wood, and reliably protects it from UV and moisture;
  • The coating does not fade and does not fade over time in the sun;
  • Long service life - re-painting will need to be done only after 5 - 7 years.

  

  Oil formulations are not without cons.

  • Oil paints have a persistent chemical smell and a long drying time. Because of this, it is necessary to carry out painting work indoors only in the warm season in order to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.
  • This coating has a low vapor permeability, which adversely affects the ventilation of the room.

  

• Like other building materials, oil paint has received a new evolutionary round of development. Not so long ago, appeared on the market acrylate paints. They have all the benefits of oil precursors, yet are fast drying, steam permeable, frost resistant and low odor, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor use. In addition, the price of such paints is much higher than that of oil paints, which makes them less affordable for low- and middle-income consumers.

  

• Mordants- These are tinting agents for changing the shade of wood. They are moderately priced and will be affordable for everyone. When covered with a stain, the natural texture of the massif is completely preserved, which makes it possible to imitate almost any type of wood. The lining treated with stain can be left without further painting, or the surface can be coated with a glossy varnish.
• Wax based products- This is an alternative to varnish. This coating protects the lining from pests and has a semi-matt tint. It lasts a long time and has a pleasant appearance. The disadvantage is the application process - it is complex and time consuming. Wax comes in three types:
  • water
  • liquid
  • solid

  The first two are wax azure, and are ready to use right out of the can. Hard wax must be melted to a liquid state before being applied to the surface.

  

• If you do not know how to paint the lining inside the bath, or in any other room with high humidity, then turn your attention to oil impregnation for wood. They are used to cover open terraces, piers, swimming pools and building cladding. Wood impregnated with oil acquires a beautiful rich color, and becomes immune to moisture and microorganisms.

  

  High-quality compounds do not form a thick film and are absorbed into the wood, protecting it from dirt and abrasion. The coating has a matte finish, which allows you to preserve the natural texture of the material. If necessary, a varnish layer can be applied over the oil coating, which will create a glossy surface.

  

• Synthetic varnishes- this is an excellent solution for exterior decoration (see How to paint the lining outside the house: choose the paint). Also, they are well suited for technical and rarely visited premises (balcony, loggia). The reason for this is the presence in the composition of substances that are harmful to health. These varnishes lie on the surface of the wood as smoothly as possible, and have a beautiful glossy finish.

Modern industry, in addition to the listed products, offers many mixed compositions that combine different properties of materials - for example, products consisting of oil and wax.

Coating technology

After you have determined how to cover the lining inside the house, proceed to surface preparation. This stage is necessary to obtain a better coating that will last you for many years.

Preparing the lining for painting



First, let's list all the tools and supplies:

• Impregnation;
• Selected paintwork material;
• Sandpaper of medium and fine fraction;
• Metal brush;
• Priming composition;
• Brushes - one the size of the width of the lining, the other - small;
• roller and tray;
• Airbrush (if any);
• Bucket;
• Ladder;
• Gloves;
• Clothes with closed sleeves;

Optionally, you may need: means for removing the old coating, antiseptic impregnation and bleach for wood.




Attention! Only such treatment will give complete protection for the tree. Otherwise, the destructive processes will start from the back side of the lining, and eventually get to the front surface.



We paint the lining

The lining is painted on the installed lining, otherwise you risk getting surface damage that may occur during installation.

All coatings have their own characteristics when applied - the manufacturer's recommendations are usually on the bank. But basically, the rule is this - the paint is applied with a brush along the surface in short strokes, and rubbed until the desired shade is formed. This technique is called shading.

You can also apply paint with a roller, so you protect yourself from getting on the drying surface of the pile. The best coverage is provided when working with an airbrush, but since not everyone has it, and we want to do all the work with our own hands, we will leave the subtleties of working with this wonderful device for other articles.



After you have achieved the desired shade, leave the lining to dry. Further re-sanding is required. Many people skip this step, but keep in mind that drying paints and varnishes tend to lift the wood fibers, causing the surface to become rough.

Next, the second is applied, and, if necessary, subsequent layers of paintwork materials, of which there can be many. It all depends on the degree of coverage of the material you use, and on the desired end result. Do not try to save time and apply a thick layer at once - in the end you will only spoil the appearance of the finish, and not get an even color.

Why did we apply soil at the beginning of processing? Due to the fact that wood has a heterogeneous structure, in some places it absorbs paint worse, which leads to the formation of bald spots, even with proper shading. The primer regulates absorbency and helps the paint lay down in a more even layer.

Techniques for applying paint



If you want to achieve furniture quality painting, then get ready for a long but exciting process. The stain is applied as the first layer on the tree (to achieve the desired shade, you can repeat the processing). Next, a primer is applied in two layers, which can be used as a colorless matte varnish.
After complete drying, the surface is sanded with sandpaper until completely dull: first with a fraction of 280, then - 320. Next, remove the dust and apply the final layer of varnish. As a result, the surface will become similar to the one shown in the photo above.



If you want to achieve a pronounced wood texture, then use pigmented oils and azure for these purposes, which must be applied using a special technology called brushing or texturing.

Take a little LMB, and in small strokes apply it in fragments along the entire length of the lining. After that, using a roller or brush, blend the paint over the entire surface. Leave the lining to soak for 10-15 minutes, after which, using a soft, lint-free cloth, remove the main part of the coating. Due to the fact that pigmented particles are retained worse in the protruding parts, the woody pattern will become much brighter.

Also, a similar effect is achieved by removing soft wood fibers. To do this, the surface of the board is cleaned with a metal brush, and polished with fine sandpaper. For sharper contrasts, you can lightly burn the surface with a gas burner.



To paint the lining white, but at the same time, do not close, but emphasize the veins (in other words, create the effect of bleached oak) - there are several ways:

• Use bleached oak or frost stain. Be careful when processing - to avoid peeling, apply the composition in several thin layers with intermediate drying.
• Oil with wax with similar names, also suitable. Apply it in one thick layer, and polish the surface with a soft cloth. So you will achieve a pronounced texture.
• Polyurethane primer with white pigments, gives a similar effect, but it has the unpleasant property of turning yellow over time.
• More expensive acrylic primer called "white" will last much longer.

In order for the gloss and color of the coating to be uniform, the paint is first thoroughly mixed and only then applied:

• Before applying the paint, it is worth making a test smear to understand how correctly the color was chosen;
• The best effect can be achieved if the paint is applied with a brush in a thin layer;
• Stock up on special mittens, they will come in handy if you alternate lining with metal products. If necessary, the glove is turned inside out with fur and the pipes are crumbled. This method makes it possible to paint more than five meters of pipes in a short time;
• The primer is tinted to match the color of the paintwork;
• Painting should not be carried out at high temperatures, because it will begin to dry quickly, which is bad. Carry out work in cloudless, warm and calm weather;
• The ends of the lining must be carefully processed. To do this, they are coated several times with a primer and after - with a paint and varnish composition;
• If a film appears on the surface of the paint, then we lower the capron there and dip the brush through it;
• If you do not want the paint to dry quickly, then lay thick paper on the surface and fill everything with drying oil;
• In order to remove excess paint from the walls of the can, we bend the iron strip and use it as a scraper;
• If it becomes necessary to close the door or windows, and the paint has not yet dried, then we lay the foil between the tangent surfaces and, after drying, remove it. In this case, the integrity of the surface will not be violated.

Use our tips, then you can extend the service life and the lining will not lose its aesthetic characteristics.

Here we come to the end of the article. We tried to cover the issue as fully as possible, how to paint the lining inside the house. Unfortunately, the allotted volume does not allow to contain information about all the intricacies of painting the lining. But you can additionally watch the video in this article to learn more about this creative process. Also look for articles on this topic on our website.

Lining has long been used for finishing all kinds of surfaces indoors and outdoors. This sheathing method is quite reliable and simple, as well as universal, because the material can be used in the area of ​​​​ceilings, verandas, doors and loggias. Wood is so popular with the modern consumer for the reason that it is environmentally friendly, it can be used to create a comfortable and warm microclimate, and the appearance allows you to get a feeling of closeness to nature.

The need for staining

Over time, the surface of this finish may lose its appearance, which occurs due to changes in moisture and temperatures, as well as other negative factors. Therefore, she needs protection measures. If you paint the lining, then this will save it from drying out, exposure to insects and damage, and extend its service life. Among other things, the painted surface can be subjected to wet cleaning, which prevents the penetration of water and dirt.

The choice of material for staining

If you are faced with the question of how to paint the lining inside the house in the country, you may prefer a material that belongs to one of the two existing groups. Compositions can be decorative or protective, in the latter case, you can choose impregnations and primers that can protect wood from insects, the occurrence and development of fungus, decay and drying. If you prefer decorative means of protection, then you can choose acrylic or oil paint, decorative glaze or scuba, stain or opaque enamel. This list is not complete, as there are many different products among paints and varnishes, each of which differs in cost, manufacturer, service life, decorative properties and environmental friendliness. If you are faced with the task of how to paint the lining inside the house in the country, then you can, for example, prefer a hypoallergenic varnish, which also has decorative qualities. As a result, it will be possible to obtain a glossy or matte surface.

When to choose oil paint

Thinking about how to paint the lining inside the house in the country in white, you can choose oil paint. These compounds are able to serve for a long time, they dry quickly, and in the process of use they are able to repel moisture. But you must be prepared for the fact that during the course of carrying these mixtures emit a persistent odor, as well as during drying. Therefore, staining with oil compositions must be carried out on warm days, when it is possible to ventilate the room. After 5 years, such a surface will begin to lose its original luster, which will indicate the need for renewal of the coating.

Is Acrylic Paint Worth It?

If you still can’t decide how to paint the lining inside the house in the country, then you can buy which has a higher cost compared to the one described above. You can apply this composition at any time of the year. The high cost will be offset by the absence of odor and the possibility of application at various temperatures.

Decorative glaze or acrylic scuba

Decorative glaze perfectly emphasizes the texture of natural wood, as it has a transparent structure. If there is a desire to give this composition a certain shade, then all kinds of colors can be added to its ingredients. Acrylic scuba paint retains its texture just as well, but it cannot be used to paint surfaces that will be subjected to intense stress.

Alkyd varnishes, stains or opaque enamels

Quite often, people are interested in experts, how to paint the lining inside the house in the country. The photos presented in the article will allow you to understand which composition is best to purchase for this. If you do not want to hide the natural pattern of wood, then you can use alkyd varnishes, but they are applied only on a completely dry surface. That is why you must ensure that the lining is prepared in accordance with all the rules, which is not always possible. If you do not follow this rule, then the surface can quickly become covered with cracks when dried.

Will not paint over wood and stain, but only change its basic tone. But you can use this composition only when you are sure of the perfect evenness of the products, they should not have flaws. When choosing a lining of low quality, it is best to refuse such surface treatment.

At the same time, natural wood will not be visible, however, it is possible, using these mixtures, to completely renew the surface, which has been used for more than one year and has lost its original beauty. The application of these compositions is carried out in several layers, between which it will be necessary to wait a certain time.

Which varnish to choose

The huge range of paint and varnish products can lead to confusion for the modern consumer. Having visited the store, you can pick up varnishes that are great for lining the lining, including alkyd, acrylic-polyurethane, water-based acrylic, water-based and polyurethane. Acrylic water is excellent for interior work, they can be glossy or matte in structure. Alkyd are universal, as they can be used to cover lining installed not only inside, but also outside the premises.

Traditional water emulsion perfectly show their quality characteristics in interior decoration, but acrylic-polyurethane can be used even in rooms whose surfaces will be exposed to sunlight. This is due to the fact that such compositions are completely not subject to burnout. If you are especially afraid that the lining will turn yellow over time or will age under the influence of ultraviolet rays, then you should choose polyurethane compounds that do an excellent job of protecting wood.

How to paint lining on top of drying oil

If the premises have not been renovated for a long time, then you may face the acute question of how to paint the lining inside the house in the country on top of drying oil. If necessary, you can sand the surface, only after that you can start applying any enamels or paints, but you should refuse organosilicon, which has silicone in its composition. If you cover the lining with alkyd or acrylic compounds, then the materials will hold together well, which applies even to dry drying oil. However, in the latter case, you should not rush, as the surface may subsequently become covered with ugly wrinkles.

If you cannot decide how to paint the lining inside the house in the country, it is recommended to read the reviews. From them you can find out that the base, if there are small cracks on it ranging from 1 to 1.5 millimeters in size, can be covered with putty, but you should not be zealous when applying it. As a putty, you can use a composition that is independently prepared from chalk powder and drying oil. If you do not want to bother with the independent preparation of different mixtures, then you can use the special Pufas wood putty, which is sold in tubes. Its cost is significant, but it justifies all expectations. Another solution is a tinted one specially designed for wood.

Quite often, the owners of suburban buildings think about how and how to paint the lining inside the house in the country, the reviews will allow you to understand which composition is better to choose. The opinions of users in most cases coincide with the information presented above. But a successful outcome should be expected only with the right choice of mixture, as well as subject to the rules for application. To begin with, the surface is cleaned of dust and dirt, as well as old finishes. After the lining is polished, for which you can use ordinary pumice. At the next stage, the master can apply a primer antiseptic to enhance the effect of durability. If you have already decided how to paint the lining inside the house in the country house cheaply, then at the next stage you can purchase the appropriate materials and start work.

Environmentally friendly lining is used for wall and ceiling cladding. It is the main element of the interior in ethno and eco styles. If you want to preserve the unique pattern of natural lines or make the walls inside smooth, of the original color, you will need to impregnate and paint the lining. Transparent varnish will emphasize the sunny shade of pine and create a unique mood of the south of France - Provence style. Brushing will age the wood and make the pattern convex.

Lining in the interior of eco and ethno styles

My friend is interested in wooden wall cladding. He came to me to find out what kind of paint for lining is suitable. How to decorate the bedroom and nursery. At the same time, Vadik wanted to build a bathhouse and ask me what kind of wood to order and harmless materials to protect it from moisture.

A room lined with clapboard gives a feeling of comfort and restores strength. This ability of wood is used in many modern styles. Painting the lining in the Scandinavian style is done with white matte varnish, does not require complex work. Bright pieces of furniture and decor clearly stand out against a light background. The country theme prefers to leave the wood pattern natural, it is preferable to paint with varnishes.

Eco styles are distinguished by natural materials dyed in natural colors. For indoor use, water-based paints are used. Each ethnic style has its own characteristics and before you paint the lining, you need to decide on the theme:

• rural - Russian;
• country;
• colonial;
• Scandinavian;
• provence;
• country;
• natural.

The most popular interiors in the style of Provence. They combine the warmth and originality of the rural south of France. The room radiates the golden colors of the sun and the sea beach. To create an atmosphere of Provence style, you need to do a number of works, bringing the tree to a tender state in order to paint it:

• clean the surface;
• make aging;
• impregnate with protective compounds;
• varnished in several layers.

For outdoor work, water-repellent materials resistant to solar radiation are used. Wear-resistant paint and alkyd varnishes are selected for the floor. For indoor work, natural impregnations and odorless paints are preferable.

Why impregnate and paint lining

The fibrous texture of wood retains heat well, absorbs noise and breathes. Insects and rodents like to settle in it. Natural material absorbs moisture, creating conditions for the development of fungal pores. When wet, it swells, changing its size.

Dry wood is not afraid of temperature changes. But it fades and darkens from the sun's rays. The main enemy of wood is fire. Inside the room, stoves and fireplaces are covered with stone, preventing them from touching the tree.

To preserve all the qualities of wood and protect it from the effects of destructive factors, the lining is impregnated and painted. Created for this:

• flame retardants - increase fire resistance;
• antiseptics drive away insects and prevent fungus from developing;
• wax, oils, varnishes, paints do not pass moisture.

Compositions can be mixed and combine several functions. Flame retardants and antistatic agents are applied to all board surfaces prior to wall and ceiling cladding. They can be applied in turn and be part of the paint.

Glazing compositions emphasize the texture of selected lining wood

When deciding how to paint the lining, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of various materials. Translucent glazing compositions with a matte surface emphasize the beauty and originality of the natural pattern. They make loose areas dark, giving a certain shade of wood. Provence style uses yellow and white paints. To imitate cherries, light hardwood boards are covered with a pink tone. Oak-like floors are created with chocolate glazing impregnations.

Waxes and oils create a glossy surface and preserve the natural colors of the wood. They protect against moisture. Used for interior work. They paint the lining with them when creating a style indoors:

• provence;
• country;
• rustic.

Wall surfaces are preliminarily artificially aged using fire, brushing and bleaching.

Oil and acrylate paints used for interior woodwork hide the design. They create a smooth surface of any chosen color. Their texture can be glossy and matte. For strength, the floor is painted on top with alkyd varnishes.

Surface preparation of lining for painting

We paint the lining ourselves

I came to Vadik to tell him how to paint the lining and at the same time help prepare the surface of the walls and ceiling. He wanted to make a room in the Provence style of the early period. This is a light wood, aged and faded in the sun, a boarded ceiling and a natural floor.

Much of the province of Provence is covered in vineyards. Farmers' houses are located among the fields and on the seashore. The sun, rains and salty wind with sand give the walls of the houses an appropriate look.

Together with Vadik, we began preparing the walls in the Provence style:

1. Removed all dirt and old coating. Grease stains were washed off, dust was removed with a vacuum cleaner after everything was dry.
2. Cleaned the entire surface with fine sandpaper.
3. With a metal brush on the grinder, they walked along each board, making brushing. The soft areas were removed, the hard ones created a protruding pattern of parched wood.
4. A flame retardant was rubbed into the wood with a brush.
5. Using a sprayer, the boards were coated with antistatic.

Now it remains for us, after complete drying, to make a glaze with wax with a white tint and paint everything on top with a transparent scuba. Lining paint will hide the natural color of the wood. After coating in several layers, the texture created by artificial aging will remain. Colors for painting are better to choose light, natural. Then the Provence-style room will look natural.

Finishing lining in bedrooms and living rooms

Lining in the interior of the apartment

Vadik was interested in how to paint the boards in the bedroom and what materials to use in the nursery. On wood for interior work, various compositions are used:

• oil;
• acrylic;
• silicone;
• acrylate;
• water-based;
• alkyd.

Oil enamels are the cheapest, have a variety of colors. You can not use them in children's and bedrooms. They create a durable film that repels water. At the same time, they do not let air through, have a strong toxic smell and fade in the sun.

To paint the lining in a certain color, it is better to use acrylate dyes for interior work. They are odorless, have an average resistance to fire. Under them, the walls breathe.

The most expensive scuba tank is environmentally friendly and durable. It consists of natural plant and animal materials. At its core:

• water;
• polymer resins.

Aqualac is environmentally friendly, does not emit harmful substances and preserves wood well. Its disadvantage is rapid abrasion and low strength. This is ideal for finishing a wooden ceiling. Acrylic-based, it is suitable for indoor wood processing. It is transparent, if necessary, to obtain color, pigments are added to it.

Attention! All paints and varnishes for wood during finishing work should be constantly mixed.

Alkyd varnishes are the most durable for the floor

We paint the lining with our own hands

Solid wood floors and lining are painted with compositions with increased resistance to abrasion. After drying, they form a hard film that repels water. Basically, these are paints:

• water emulsion;
• oil;
• polyurethane;
• epoxy;
• alkyd;
• rubber.

Oil enamel has a strong odor and requires prolonged ventilation. It is cheaper than other materials, but wears out quickly. You can choose any color, but it fades over time. Shine disappears after three years. To extend its service life and preserve the color can be coated with alkyd varnish.

Durable and good floor protection epoxy two-component paints. They are used in high traffic areas such as offices and public spaces.

A friend was interested in how to paint the lining on the floor in order to preserve the beauty of the board, emphasize the interior in the Provence style, and can be used in the nursery.

Rubber paint is based on latex. It is plastic, wear-resistant and durable with a matte surface that resembles rubber.

For a clapboard floor, it is important to preserve the pattern of high-quality wood. The best option is an alkyd composition. It is applied on top of painted boards and creates a strong, hard film that is resistant to impact and abrasion. Its service life is 5-10 years.

Despite the inexorable development of technology and the spread of synthetic substitutes in construction, natural materials for home decoration continue to be in steady demand. In our article we will tell you how to paint the lining inside the house?

Lining - a thin wooden panel that has many positive properties: thermal and sound insulation, ease of installation, pleasant appearance. But, like any tree, it is affected by moisture, the sun, insects or fungi. To combat these negative effects, painting is used.

How can I paint the lining inside the house

The choice of one or another paint depends entirely on your preferences and requirements. Someone needs a hypoallergenic coating, for others, the speed of its drying is important. There are many paints and varnishes that can be used to paint the lining inside the house in white, beige, yellow or any other color:

• Acrylate paint is harmless and dries very quickly. Its main disadvantage is the high price;
• oil paint - dries for a long time and has a persistent odor, therefore it is suitable for painting only in the warm season;
• decorative glaze - in addition to changing color, it perfectly emphasizes the wood structure;
• alkyd varnishes;
• stains are well suited for processing wood without flaws. After all, they do not paint over it, but only change the shade;
• opaque enamels - are applied in three layers and completely paint over the original structure of the tree.
