Wooden doors are widely used in the interior of residential and commercial premises. However, natural wood needs protection, which will extend its life and protect against pests.
To ensure protection, paint and varnish products are used, which, in addition to creating a film on the surface of a tree, can shade it or even completely change color. Already painted doors require restoration over time, and then the question becomes whether they need to be repainted. Before applying a second coat of paint, clean the previous one. Only in this way can thorough painting and perfect smoothness of the surface be achieved.
Preparing the door for re-painting
To remove the old paintwork, it is recommended to use sandpaper or a spatula. In this case, the use of the tool depends on the thickness of the paint layer and the general visual and technical condition of the structure.
To simplify the task, you can use a construction hairdryer. The effect of hot air on the surface of old paint will contribute to its peeling. Thanks to this method, it will be possible to quickly remove the coating.
It is worth noting that low-cost models of building hair dryers, designed for household repairs, quickly overheat. Therefore, they must be used with periodic interruptions that provide cooling mechanism.
It is also recommended not to exceed the heating temperature. With prolonged exposure to high temperatures - from 220 degrees, the structure of natural wood begins to deteriorate. As a result, the service life of a wooden door will be significantly reduced.
Using a wash for old paint
Another option to remove the old coating from the surface of a wooden door leaf is to use a special wash. You can buy it at a hardware store.
The product contains chemical components that destroy paint and contribute to its rapid removal from the surface. During the restoration work it is recommended to work in tight rubber gloves and, if necessary, use a protective mask and goggles.
After treating the wooden surface with a wash, you need to carefully ventilate the room. A sharp chemical smell often causes dizziness and ailments.
