Painting wallpapers is a simple, at first glance, lesson. However, all repairs should be approached with certain knowledge already obtained. Therefore, it is important to study the process before you get down to business. And it is best to get advice from professionals.
Necessary tools
The first material necessary for coloring the wallpaper is, directly, the paint itself. From the whole set of its types for ceiling use, you need to choose the right one, since not everyone can approach this type of surface. For the ceiling, the best option is water-based paint and alkyd-acrylate-type bonding component, as well as latex. If non-woven wallpaper is used, then the paint should be acrylic, and any one suitable for paper.
The cost of the paint will have an effect on the staining process itself. Cheap paint will have to be applied in several layers, and expensive and high-quality paint is enough to be applied once, with a maximum of two layers. It is important to consider that the fewer layers, the better the result.
Before using the paint, a small test is recommended. This will help to intelligently distribute its consumption, the quality of the final result, as well as the required number of layers.
In addition to paint, it is necessary to choose the right tool for the job. In this case, rollers that have a protective casing are most often used.
The width of the pile must be selected to the type of wallpaper, which have different requirements for this indicator. But the optimal width of the roller is 25 centimeters, which helps to evenly distribute the paint on the surface of the wallpaper on the ceiling. In addition, a roller with a long handle is the best option. It allows painting while standing on the floor. This option requires a good visual image in order to correct defects in time.
The process of painting wallpaper on the ceiling
Painting of ceiling wallpaper is a process that is carried out as follows:
- Preparatory actions - before starting work, it is necessary to cover the floor with a film. For this purpose, not a cheap covering film, but a paint film is ideal, since it is much denser and will not tear when moving the stepladder. And masking tape can be protected from contamination by paint outlets, switches and the like. And to protect furniture, windows and doors, polyethylene is ideal;
- Staining - the first layer is a special primer or paint diluted with water. This technique helps to reveal all the defects of the wallpaper. Such places must be carefully painted over with already diluted paint after the initial layer has completely dried. The total number of layers is calculated in advance and each subsequent layer is painted perpendicular to the previous one. Before you start applying a new layer, you need to take a break. The paint should dry completely. It is important to ventilate the room after this.
During painting, it is necessary to retreat from the walls by about 7 centimeters. These areas are painted separately with a thinner brush.
If you adhere to all the above suggestions, then painting the wallpaper on the ceiling will become a more pleasant and non-burdensome affair. And the result will please all family members and their guests.
