-->Types of coatings
When choosing what and how to paint the bathroom, pay special attention to the basis of the finishing material. In the bathroom, there is always an increased humidity and a large amount of condensate, so it is necessary that the surfaces retain the neat appearance for a long time and easily cleaned. Today there are several types of solutions on the market.By type of basics
Water-emulsion
Such solutions do not have sharp odors, safely applied, but they have one weighty disadvantage - they cannot withstand moisture and are easily flushed with water. Therefore, in the bathroom it will be appropriate only on the ceiling. Pollution with such a coating should be carefully removed with a soft cloth or sponge.Acrylic
This mixture has many positive qualities, such as an abundance of colors, water-repellent and dirt-repellent properties, the possibility of washing, as well as the presence of components that prevent the occurrence of mold. In addition, it forms a perfectly smooth surface without cracks and irregularities. Such a coating will not be fascinated, does not crack and serve for a very long time.
Silicate
It has good indices of moisture resistance, but it lies with a very subtle layer, which will not be able to overlap all the irregularities. Therefore, under such a composition, it is necessary to carefully prepare the basis.Silicone
They are well withstanding the temperature differences and overlap the cracks width to two millimeters.
Of all the listed such paint for the bathroom comes best. However, it must be borne in mind that it has a fairly high price.
On finishing coating
Among all the proposed options, three types of textures can be distinguished:- Glossy
- Semi-bang
- halfmite
- Matte
We advise you to choose the composition based on how even you got walls. To see all the shortcomings of the surface, turn off the light in the room and highlight it with a flashlight. You will see all defects and select the appropriate texture to you. So, the glossy shine will emphasize any irregularity, while the matte version, on the contrary, will hide the flaws of the finish.
However, the glossy effect has the ability to reflect the light that visually expands the room. Consider this when choosing a material for a small bathroom.
Color selection
If the room is small, you definitely fit a light shade. It will make the room fresh and light. By choosing dark or bright warm tones, you risk the fact that such a color will "push" and narrow the space.
-->Preparation for finishing
Before updating surface coating, you need to prepare well because the final result depends on their state. Also take care of the availability of all necessary tools.Required tools
- Roller
- Pussy
- Shpaklevka
- Putty knife
- Protective mask and glasses
Preparation
To begin with the bathroom you need to make all the furniture and remove the available elements of the decor from the walls. This applies to all holders, hooks for towels, curtains, rugs and other small things. Then the walls and the ceiling need to be released from all old coatings. If you wanted to get rid of the old tile, then boldly take it off from the walls. Further you will need to align the surface by making it perfectly smooth with the help of plaster.
If the walls were painted, the tare coating can be removed by a scraper or a sharp spatula. Formed cracks need to be filled with moisture-resistant putty. In the presence of wooden surfaces in the room, they must be polluted and remove the contamination. So a new layer will stay better.
-->Do not forget to remove the fungus and mold if they are available. This effectively cope with a solution of chlorine or a special mixture, which can be bought in any construction store. We advise you to conduct this procedure a few days before the color so that the surfaces have dried. And to get rid of spots of fat, it is better to use a detergent for these contaminants.
After alignment and cleaning from the old coating, all surfaces need to be rinsed to get rid of dust and shallow shavings.
All plumbing cover with dense polyethylene. The toilet and washbasin better wrap the shockproof material in order not to break these fragile products during the repair. Switches and sockets advise to remove. Those areas that you do not plan to process with dyes, creep the molar scotch. Your room is ready to work.
How to paint the walls in the bathroom with your own hands
After the preparation made, we proceed to the most important stage. We will give some tips how to paint the surface in the bathroom beautifully and neatly.
The paint is usually applied in several layers, depending on the degree of coating. Before applying, read the instruction, as some formulations must be diluted with special solutions. For applying it is better to use the roller (as in the photo). This tool will provide a subtle and uniform distribution, which will significantly save the flow rate.
-->The most firstly painted hard-to-reach places and corners, only then applied the main layer. To do this, use a small brush.
Be sure to remove the surplus in the painting bath. Do not neglect this, otherwise they will remain lower.
Each subsequent layer is applied after complete drying of the previous one. In order to make the composition evenly, provide it with the desired temperature, which is indicated on the package. Also try to avoid the formation of drafts.
How to paint the ceiling in the bathroom
It uses a roller with a pile of medium length. We recommend that it is well pressed in the bath, so that the solution does not turn into drops. If you are a novice, use a roller with a short handle. It will not take away aside, and you will better feel the tool.
-->You need to paint a mustache to smooth out the transitions. Five centimeters will be enough.
It is necessary to process the ceiling in several layers. At the same time, after drying the first layer, the second layer is applied in a perpendicular direction.
Options for staining
The room can be given a very unusual view using unusual staining. For example, you can make an unusual geometric pattern over the bathroom, sticking on the wall with greasy tape. Make sure it fell tightly. Then take paints of different colors and start painting the resulting figures. A sticky tape can be removed in a couple of hours so that the paint does not sleep to it and did not break away from the wall.
Another interesting idea will be stencil. For light rooms, stencils with floral ornaments are suitable. If he is not self-adhesive, its edges can be fixed on the adhesive tape and gently sponge the paint. We advise you to make a smooth transition from one color to another, to obtain a soft gradient.
