How to deal with cracks in the walls and ceiling

During repair or finishing works, such a situation very often arises that various defects appear in the form of cracks or broken concrete integrity on the walls or ceiling. If your apartment has such defects in the walls, then before starting the painting work they must be eliminated. To do this, it is best to use a polymer-cement solution. You can also introduce various polymer additives that will make your work a little easier. Such additives will contribute to better adhesion between the new concrete and the initial coating.

When repairing exterior walls, you need to use special warm plaster. To prepare such a plaster, you need to mix cement with expanded clay. Next is the immediate stage of painting. As a rule, paint is bought ready-made, and special solvents are used to dilute it. However, it is very important not to overdo it, as otherwise the paint will simply drain into the surface of the wall. If a thin film forms on the surface of the can, then you can not mix it with all the paint. You need to carefully remove it with a knife and only after that you can stir the paint.

When choosing a paint, you need to take into account the features of the surface on which it will be applied, the humidity level in the room, as well as the level of protection. There are paints on mineral binders, as well as adhesive paints. If you have to finish concrete or stone surfaces, then you need to pay attention to paints mineral binders as they provide an excellent airtight coating that is not susceptible exposure to water.

Using adhesive paints, wooden coatings are usually treated. The main difference between such paints is that they are quite porous, so the surface covered with such a paint will have excellent air exchange and will also pass moisture well.

To finish was of the highest quality, it is necessary to use synthetic paints. Such paints can be used for exterior decoration, and for interior work. However, synthetic paints can also be replaced with oil paints, since the second ones are almost inferior in quality properties to premium paints. Coatings on which oil paint is applied do not allow moisture and alkali to pass through, so the surface under the paint will be reliably protected.
