The facade of the house should not be left without painting, especially if it is wooden. Stucco also does not interfere with additional weather protection. You can paint old brick or concrete. But to achieve a good result, it is important to choose the right color composition. There are a lot of types of paints for the facade on sale. They differ not only in color, composition, but also in their physicochemical properties and resistance to environmental factors.
Good paint should significantly extend the life of the material of which the facade is made. The paint should be hygroscopic, that is, do not clog the pores of the wall, prevent fungi and mold from developing, protect from rain and snow, enhance tolerance to various high and low temperatures.
The best paints for the facade
Facade paints are divided into three main groups:
- Acrylic
- Silicate;
- Silicone
Acrylic paint is available in two versions: based on water or an organic solvent. The first is often used indoors. Organic-based paint is environmentally friendly, dries quickly and is perfectly applied to the surface. You can work with it even in winter at temperatures up to - 30 degrees. It is very durable, can last up to 20 years and is able to pass air, but is not exposed to moisture. Acrylic coating can create a good protective layer for the facade. With a huge assortment of colors, this makes it indispensable. It can be used in concrete, wood and brick.
Silicate paint is also durable, resistant to ultraviolet, chemicals, low temperatures, not afraid acid rain, easy to apply, inexpensive, well washed from dirt, can be applied over old paints. This is a universal paint for any surface. However, it is toxic and requires the use of personal protective equipment.
Silicone paint is a combination of acrylic and silicate. She took in herself the best of these two species. So, she does not pass moisture from the outside at all, and her vapor permeability has become greater. It has minimal thermoplasticity: in the case of an increase in temperature it does not soften, and when it decreases, it does not “tan”. She does not tend to crack after summer and winter. It does not need special care, remains clean for a long time, does not respond to ultraviolet rays (does not burns out), does not wear off, does not weather, is not affected by fungus or microorganisms, has no smell. Silicone paint is also suitable for coating all surfaces. Plus, the paint fills microcracks in the surface, protecting it from destruction.
Paint should be selected for facade processing taking into account the coating material, climatic conditions operation, as well as the color of the paint, its properties, the method of application and the design effect that it will give home.
