Facade paint coat. How to paint the facade of a private house under a fur coat

An integral stage in the development of a house project is the choice of a method for its exterior finish. It implies a choice suitable material and careful study of the overall style of the building. Today, the decoration of the facades of private houses directly reflects the level of prosperity and taste preferences of the owners of the house, and the finishing materials used in the process of facing work are characterized not only by decorative, but also by functional purpose. In the process of choosing materials for finishing the facade of a building, it is necessary to take into account many technological nuances, such as architectural features building, landscape area, as well as the climatic characteristics of the region in which the residential building is located. In view of the foregoing, it can be concluded that the facing materials used must not only be combined with the general style of the architectural object and landscape area, but must also be resistant to the influence of precipitation. The construction market offers a wide range of facing materials, many of which are examples perfect combination prices and quality. One of these options is the decoration of the facade with a fur coat, which is not only the subject of cladding, but also an independent design solution. If you are looking for a simple, practical and, at the same time, original way finishing the facade of the house, a fur coat will be the only right decision for you. What is the essence of wall decoration with a fur coat, what are its advantages and disadvantages, as well as how to apply the material in the process of wall cladding in this way, we will consider in this article.

What is home decoration with a fur coat and why is it attractive?

Finishing the facade of the house with a fur coat got its name due to the external similarity with the fur located on inside sheepskin coats, and therefore, speaking of this method of finishing the facade, they mean not plush fur, but plaster lining, visually reminiscent of its texture. It is important to understand that, in fact, a “fur coat” is one of the types of plaster that involves the application of sand and cement mortar by spraying onto the surface of the wall. Throwing or spraying the solution onto the treated plane allows you to achieve the roughness effect characteristic of a fur coat. Before proceeding with the acquisition of materials for the implementation of this method of finishing the facade of the house, it is necessary to study its advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits of furnishing a house with a fur coat:

In view of the excellent tolerance of temperature changes and high humidity, the coating "under a fur coat" will protect the base surface from external influences;
In the case of using plaster “under a fur coat”, it is possible to finish the base plane with various patterns, due to which the building will be different from others. In addition, in the process of preparing the solution, it is possible to give it any color shade;
The simplicity of installation activities is also attractive, thanks to which you can do all the work yourself, without resorting to the help of specialists. This will significantly reduce the final cost of the repair;
The surface design can be diversified through simple and technically accessible methods, for example, by adding granular components with different fractions to the solution, using a grid, etc.;
In view of the low weight of the plaster, it practically does not increase the load on the walls and foundation.

Important! As for insulation, it should be noted that, despite the fact that the "fur coat" performs the function of a heater, it will not cope with this function in in full if the walls of the residential building are thin and not sufficiently insulated.

Disadvantages of furnishing a house with a fur coat:

For finishing walls under a fur coat, a number of negative aspects are also characteristic, which masters often learn about after applying plaster.

First, the textured surface collects dust;
Secondly, the facade decoration under a fur coat may not be combined with all stylistic decisions. For example, in the case correct selection colors, it will favorably complement the traditional classic styles, then with modern style high-tech, it is practically incompatible;
The thermal insulation qualities of a fur coat do not exceed those of traditional plaster.

As for the expressiveness of the decorative relief, in comparison with another type of plaster - bark beetle, the fur coat loses to him in this respect, but it looks more elegant and modern.

Decorating a house under a fur coat with your own hands: procedure

Rough surface preparation

Similar to other methods decorative finishes facades, the installation of the “fur coat” begins with the preparation of the base surface, which must be carefully plastered, as it will determine its adhesive characteristics and the subsequent degree of adhesion of the “fur coat” to the base.

Important! If, after measuring the planes, you find out that the walls are fairly even and their difference does not exceed 0.5 mm per square meter. meter, in the process of plastering the facade, you can not put up beacons. Even greater height deviations on the plane of the wall are possible if a "fur coat" is used, the fraction of which exceeds 10 mm.

If the height differences exceed 2 cm, leveling of the wall surface will be required, which is carried out by applying a rough layer of plaster.
First of all, inspect the surface and, armed with a metal brush, remove the previous coating. If there is a partial finish with tiles, it is also removed;
To ensure high adhesive characteristics, the surface must be rough. On the smooth surface using a chisel and a hammer, special notches or grooves are applied along the seams brickwork, which will improve the adhesive characteristics of the surface;
Next, the surface is treated with an antiseptic, which is especially important if you are dealing with old buildings. Thanks to this procedure, you will protect the walls from the fungus;
After completing the complete processing, apply a layer of primer, which, after drying, will provide high-quality adhesion of the surfaces. For achievement maximum effect experts recommend using liquid primer deep penetration applied with a brush or spray gun.

Important! To make the connection of surfaces even better and more durable, craftsmen recommend reinforcing it with a construction mesh.

Solution preparation: composition of the mixture

Manual mixing of components

For the implementation of exterior decoration, a fur coat, or rather a solution, is prepared from a mixture of cement and river sand, which are mixed in certain proportions. The ratio of components is determined by the brand of cement used. If you took M300 cement as a basis, you will need 3 parts of cement and 1 part of sand to prepare the mortar. If you use cement brand M400, the ratio of components is 4:1, M500 - 5:1.
Sand and cement are poured into a container prepared in advance with even walls and a bottom, taking into account the ratios indicated earlier, and water is added, bringing the mixture to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Experts recommend preparing a small amount of the mixture and trying it on small area. The need for this is due to the fact that decorative effect fur coat is determined by the density of the working mixture: the higher the density, the more pronounced will be the texture of the plastered surface.

Important! To prevent premature settling of the cement mortar, it is recommended to add a little washing powder. To make the consistency of the mixture more uniform, it is necessary to use a drill with a nozzle to knead the solution.

There are many ways to increase decorative characteristics plaster mix. To diversify the look facade plaster use the following methods:

A dye of the required color is added to the finished mixture, which will prevent the painted surface from fading and eliminate the need to update it;
To make the texture more pronounced, the mixture includes the same amount of putty and enamel paint;
For the same purpose, marble chips, pieces of multi-colored glass and similar materials are added to the thick plaster mixture.

Important! If you plan to give the facade some shade, experts recommend giving preference to applying paint to the finished “fur coat”. This is due to the fact that in the process of tinting the solution before applying it, it will be difficult to achieve a uniform shade, since the solution will have to be kneaded several times. However, if you are confident in your abilities or you have to plaster a small area, which will allow you to mix and install the “fur coat” at the same time, you can neglect these recommendations.

The use of dry mixes

Cement-based dry plaster mixes are commercially available, which can be not only white, but also colored. They are mixed with water and, using a construction mixer equipped with a special nozzle, brought to a homogeneous consistency. After keeping the solution for 5 minutes, it is mixed again, after which it is completely ready for use. It is important to prepare the mixture in the amount that will be used at a time.

Use of ready mixes

In addition to dry mixes, hardware stores offer ready-made plaster compositions, the main difference of which is not the state of aggregation, but chemical composition- most mixtures are made on the basis of acrylic copolymers, which reduces the vapor permeability of the finishing layer, at the same time increasing its elasticity.

Applying a fur coat to the wall: basic methods and tools

After the solution has been prepared and all preparatory measures have been completed, it is necessary to proceed to the direct application of the plaster. If you are a beginner, use the video presented in the article - finishing with a fur coat will not be the same for you complex process as it seems at first glance.

There are four main ways of applying a fur coat to a wall. Let's consider them in more detail.

Throwing mortar on the wall using a broom and a stick- a finishing option, according to the majority, carried out by the "old-fashioned" method. As can be seen from the context, it is produced with a broom and a stick. Despite the fact that the technique is gradually becoming a thing of the past, becoming obsolete, some masters still appreciate it for its cheapness, characteristic ease of execution and availability of the tools used. However, it will be acceptable only for surfaces with a small area. To throw the solution with one of the simplest and most affordable methods, take a broom in one hand, dip it into the solution and, tapping it on the stick that is in the other hand, apply the solution to the surface with the resulting drops.

Important! For finer sprays, the broom must be replaced with a stiff brush, and the stick with a thin wooden slat. Swipe the bar across the brush in the direction opposite to the wall and small splashes will fall on the surface to be treated.

Important! In the process of applying plaster in this way, irregularities often occur that can spoil appearance plastered surface. If you notice such a deficiency, remove excess mortar with a trowel and repeat the application of the mortar.

Throwing solution through the net- another available method manual application fur coats. The texture of the plastered surface, the installation of which was carried out using this method, will be somewhat different from that applied with a broom and a stick. To make the application process more convenient, experts advise pulling the mesh screen over wooden frame. The resulting structure is placed near the wall and, as the work progresses, it is moved along its surface, throwing the solution onto the grid with a trowel.

In addition to manual, there are hardware methods for applying a fur coat.

Applying plaster with a mechanical machine- one of the modern improved hardware methods. In the process of work, a machine is used, the design of which is nothing more than a drum made of of stainless steel and equipped with blades inside. In the process of work, the mechanism is scrolled with a handle, which is located on the side of the drum. The work process is as follows:

The solution is loaded inside the drum and the structure is directed so that the outlet is facing the wall, after which the handle is scrolled. The unit is considered convenient to use, but it needs regular washing and thorough cleaning. If this recommendation is neglected, the blades will soon be clogged with a frozen solution, which will lead to the failure of the mechanical structure;

Applying a coat with a compressor- an apparatus that pushes the solution to the surface under pressure, which is created by compressed air. This principle of operation has certain similarities with what underlies the operation of a mechanical machine with rotating blades. The use of a compressor is appreciated by professional builders, who can use it to perform a large amount of work in a short time. In addition, with the help this device uniformity of application of the solution is ensured, as well as the same shape and size of the treated drops.

Important! If you prefer this method, do not rush to purchase a compressor, it can be rented from professional builders which is much cheaper.

Fragmentary application of a fur coat practiced creative people who want to diversify the design of the facade. In the process of fragmentary application of a fur coat, plaster is applied to separate sections of the wall, highlighting the protrusions of the walls or drawing various geometric figures. In this case, textured plaster is applied to areas previously limited by slats.

Important! Before proceeding with the application of textured plaster, carefully measure own forces and time allocated for work. Within one day, it is recommended to throw the plaster on the selected plane, and if you need to take a break in work, the edges of the freshly applied plaster are covered with a film. This will protect the plaster from cracking after applying a new portion of the solution.

Tips from the masters that you need to pay attention to

In order for the plaster under a fur coat to be used for a long time, while maintaining its original appearance, it is necessary to follow useful tips provided by our experienced craftsmen. Pay particular attention to the following recommendations.

Plastering must be carried out under certain weather conditions. The air temperature should be in the range from +5 to +27 degrees, and direct Sun rays should not fall on the plastered surface (it is best to work on a cloudy day, but not rainy weather). This will prevent rapid, uneven drying of the plaster layer and its subsequent cracking;
The plaster is applied in three layers, which are applied sequentially in one day. Moreover, each subsequent layer is thrown after a slight drying of the previous one;
Do not skimp on the primer, it must be applied;
To give the solution the desired shade, the following mineral powders are used: finely ground cobalt glass, powder hard coal, red iron ore, manganese powder, white asbestos and finely ground white marble. They are added to the solution in the process of mixing sand, cement and water;
Special requirements are also imposed on the consistency of the solution: the solution must be rare, but the walls must not slide;
To increase the graininess of the fur coat, it is recommended to use a stick with a broom or metal mesh. To create a less pronounced texture, a metal mesh is chosen.

As mentioned above, to give the fur coat a uniform shade, they practice painting the facades under a fur coat. This can be done in several ways.

One of the easiest ways is to use colored plaster, which is added to the solution in such an amount that it provides the desired shade of the required intensity. It practically does not fade, and in the event of the appearance of microscopic cracks, the intensity of the shade will not change.

Important! Painting the facade under a fur coat is associated with certain difficulties associated with the surface topography. The texture of the fur coat implies height differences of up to 3 mm, which, on the one hand, increases the area working surface and overspending of paint, and on the other hand, makes painting with a roller or brush almost impossible, since the surface will be stained unevenly.

In view of this, it is necessary to consider more effective method painting the facade under a fur coat - using an airbrush or spray gun that breaks coloring composition on the smallest splashes, which allows you to evenly paint over all the irregularities, while reducing paint consumption. If necessary, separate areas are painted over with a brush.

Despite the cheapness of the work (the total cost of repairs consists only of the cost of sand, cement and dyes), the result will often exceed your expectations. After reading the article, you are most likely convinced that the process of applying a fur coat is quite simple, especially in the presence of special automated devices. To consolidate your skills, we recommend that you watch the video below.

Wall decoration under a fur coat video

plaster material"fur coat" is known to almost everyone, despite its exotic name. This type of plaster has been used in the construction of buildings for many years and can be seen on many buildings built during the Soviet era. At that time, the builders did not set themselves the task of inventing an aesthetically attractive composition: they used sand and cement mixed in the right proportions with the addition of water. As a result of finishing, the appearance of the walls was far from aesthetic appeal. We understand the modern diversity of species this material and how to apply it.

Types of plaster

The use of plaster under a fur coat is relevant today. Builders by this method are trying to save on materials, which is not at all necessary, since at present in any hardware store you can find dry decorative plaster under a fur coat at an affordable price.

The main advantage of this material is the fact that it operational properties higher than that of a homemade counterpart. Due wide choice finishing materials presented trademarks for sale, on store shelves you can find plaster in the form ready mix. It is sold mainly in buckets. The cost of this material is higher than the dry counterpart, as well as performance.

Unusual name this decorative plaster received, due to its similarity with fur: in ready-made it has a rough texture. This look is obtained thanks to the simple technology of mixing plaster with small stones. The size of the stone can be varied, it all depends on the purpose pursued during the repair. By using larger stones, you can get more relief wall. The opposite result can be achieved using small stones.

Plaster under a fur coat in the form of a dry mixture must be diluted clean water room temperature. This type decorative plaster today it is white and grey. It is a budget type of such a finishing material, this option is used mainly to cover surfaces larger area. One of the main advantages of this material in powder form is the ability to color the composition in any desired color.

The composition of the finished paste-like plaster in buckets includes synthetic polymers, which gives the composition increased softness and strength. Plaster of this design can have absolutely any color. It is advisable to use this expensive plaster for internal works(to save money) and can also be used for final surface coating. Actual use of expensive plaster and for coating separate parts interior (for example, arches, columns, borders). In this case, the concept of high cost is relative: if repairs are performed for themselves, the use quality materials should be the main principle of operation.

In addition to all the listed properties, plaster decorative material under a fur coat has good heat-insulating and noise-insulating properties, which justifies its name. It protects the walls from negative influences. environment. The use of this plaster greatly facilitates and speeds up preparatory work, as it allows you to hide the defects of the working surface. Installation can be done independently (without the participation of a qualified craftsman).

It is important to mention that plaster damaged during operation is easy to restore. The material allows this possibility, while the updated section will not stand out from the general finishing canvas. A sufficient number of advantages of using plaster under a fur coat in wall decoration has been noted. For example, this composition can be painted using silicone or acrylic paint. Now you should figure out how to apply it to the surface of the walls.

Application methods

And the preparation of the working surface does not have to spend a lot of time. When working on outer surface buildings, it is enough to prime the surface with high quality and dry it well. To treat the surface inside the house, you can go over the surfaces with a primer twice: this will make the film that forms on the surface when it dries more durable. Apply each layer of soil only after the previous one has completely dried.

There are cases when the treated surface is initially covered in cracks and irregularities. In this case, these shortcomings must be eliminated before the surface is primed, only after that it can be primed. If work is carried out indoors, the remains of old finishing materials should be dismantled. Eliminate surface defects the right solution, but you don’t need to grind anything, because the rough texture of the fur coat will hide all minor defects. After that, priming the surface is also required.

Plaster under a fur coat is applied to the surface different ways. The choice of the tool used depends on the application method. AT total You may need a large list of tools.

Sometimes it is enough to prepare:

textured roller;
trowel (trowel);
manual plaster sprayer;
industrial compressor;
broom (in the form of a broom);
regular stick.

This arsenal refers to a conservative and cheap (with the exception of the compressor) set of tools. It is more suitable for finishing a small area. Currently common modern technologies applying plaster, but these tools are more expensive. In this article we are talking about small areas, so the listed list of tools is quite suitable.

If a dry composition is used in the work, which must be diluted with water, some rules must be taken into account:

Before mixing the material with water, it must be intensively stirred, as the stones may be unevenly distributed in the total mass.
Stucco under a fur coat should be applied without a pause (in one approach) from one edge of the wall to the other (long pauses can help to ensure that the transition between layers remains noticeable).
It is advisable to carry out the work with an assistant who will prepare the mixture while you apply the plaster.

When working with the material with a spatula, immediately apply a layer of plaster, and then level it with circular (or back and forth) movements with a trowel. As a rule, in one approach, a plot of no more than 1 sq. m. During alignment, you can not hesitate: when the solution hardens, it is more difficult to get rid of visible defects in the lining. When working with finished materials in buckets, this is a must, as they quickly harden.

When applying plaster with a roller, you can use two methods of applying the composition. In the first method, the decorative material is applied like paint. Before that, it is diluted with water, then a fleecy roller is immersed in the finished mixture and the surface is painted with plaster. The second method is that first the plaster is applied to the surface with a spatula, then rolled with a fleecy roller.

As with other decorative finishing materials on the facade, the wall must be plastered with high quality before installing the “fur coat”. Such a smooth and homogeneous base, made of cement and sand, has excellent adhesion, so the applied mortar will be firmly fixed on it.

If during measurements of the planes of the walls it turns out that their difference does not exceed 0.5 millimeters per square meter, beacons when plastering the facade can not be set. It is possible to allow even greater deviations on the planes of the walls if a “fur coat” is used, the fraction of which is 10 mm or more.

Fragmentary application of a "fur coat"

In the event that it is necessary to apply a “fur coat” to certain sections of the facade, thus drawing geometric shapes, or to highlight the protrusions of the walls, it is recommended to initially make such elements a plastering solution. As a rule, in such cases, the pedestal is not made, but textured plaster applied to designated areas, previously limited by rails.

Given that the surface of the "fur coat" has a rough texture, rough plaster can not be overwritten with a construction float. The only exception is deep corrosion. They should be removed during the alignment of the walls with the rule.

Broom and stick

by the most simple method creating a "fur coat" on the walls of the building is one that is performed using an ordinary broom and stick. A millet broom is taken in one hand, dipped into the solution and beaten against a stick, which is in the second hand. Blows on a stick are applied with the base of the broom towards the surface to be treated. If it is necessary to obtain fine sprays, a stiff brush and a wooden lath are used instead of a broom. To do this, it is enough to draw a rail along the bristles of the brush in the direction opposite to the wall. So, splashes will fall on the treated surface.

Applying plaster under the “fur coat” with a broom

Grid and trowel

The texture of the fur coat applied using the grid will differ from the previous one. For convenience, it is recommended to stretch the mesh screen onto a wooden frame. Such a structure must be moved along the wall, throwing a mortar onto the grid with a trowel.

mechanical machine

This method can be considered improved. Such a machine is nothing more than a construction made of a drum made of stainless steel and equipped with blades inside. The mechanism is scrolled by a handle located on the side of the drum.

After loading the solution inside the drum, it is necessary to direct the structure with the outlet to the wall and turn the handle. This unit is easy to use, but requires regular thorough cleaning and washing. Otherwise hardened solution will clog the blades and quickly disable the mechanism.

Do-it-yourself plastering device

Compressor

Considering that such creative process it is worth approaching with a certain amount of imagination, you can try various methods applying facade decorative plaster to treated surfaces. It remains to master one more mechanism, which is used in this work. Here the solution is pushed onto the wall by applying compressed air. This method resembles the principle of operation of the blades in mechanical typewriter for applying the solution.

A small fixture helps to plaster under the "fur coat", and of course it will help those who are not friends with the trowel. Manufacturing details - http://sdelay-sam.su/blog/2407

Stucco under a fur coat - several ways to beauty

To achieve original walls, it is enough to give it a little volume, which contributes to a large extent coat plaster, that is, decorative with an imitation of a draft "nabrykhga". There are many mixtures that allow you to get structured surface walls with low material consumption. Many estimators prefer fur coat stucco precisely because this finish is the most affordable and inexpensive.

fur coat finish

In the end, the relief coating is obtained using conventional plaster. For this there are several various ways, and their implementation does not require any special varieties solution, nor special tools. The relief surface is created thanks to the technology of applying the material.

For such a coating, a cement-lime mortar is most often used. You can, of course, use cement-sand, there is no fundamental difference.

The solution is applied to the prepared surface by spraying. Work must be carried out continuously until it is completed, without interruptions. The surface is plastered separate sections After finishing one, they start working on the next one. All this can be done manually or with a special machine.

So, spraying with a brush or broom is performed as follows: the solution is collected on a brush or broom (they act as a tool), a stick is taken in one hand, and a tool in the other. Near the surface of the wall, a stick is struck with a broom, as a result of which the plaster flies to the surface of the wall.

When using a broom, the texture will be medium, when using a brush - fine. For spraying plaster, you can use the grid. This is done as follows - the solution is thrown through a pre-installed grid, as a result of which a relief pattern is obtained on the wall.

You can also perform plastering "under a fur coat" with the help of a machine, such wall plastering is shown in the video below with all the details.

Probably every owner of his own house thought about how to transform the appearance of his home. One of the good options is the walls of the room.

Of all types of decorative finishes, the most common is the so-called fur coat. Small financial costs, as well as simple technological process, caused the popularity of this type of plaster. No need to be a master with years of experience to master the technique of decorating facades. The process itself is quite simple, and you will soon see it.

Selection of tools

First of all, you need to choose the tools that you will use in the process of work:

capacity;
roller;
brush with soft bristles;
tinting paste;
broom.

Material for plaster coat

Modern finishing mixes have a number of advantages over the cement that was used before. Durability, elastic coating and low financial costs - this is an incomplete list of advantages modern materials to cover facades.

When you choose a mixture, please note that there is both a dry material and a ready-to-use material. The dry mix will come out cheaper in terms of money, it is enough to stir it with water, as it immediately becomes ready for use. But the disadvantages include the fact that all dry mixes are made on the basis of cement, and this indicates a decrease in the durability of the plaster, as well as its lack of elasticity.

Another thing finished material You will have to pay a little more for it, but it's worth it. Acrylic copolymers are the basis of the finished mixture, this viscous mass copes well with microcracks.

One of great options The finished mixture is a structural plaster aura putz fur coat. It is designed for surfaces such as concrete, drywall, masonry, plaster, plywood, chipboard. The mixture has proven itself very well and has a lot of positive reviews.

It also does not hurt to pay attention to the "plaster fur coat silicone decor." It is based on silicone and acrylic resins. This mixture is characterized by its durability and water resistance.

Methods for applying plaster

There are several ways to apply plaster, they all have their pros and cons, I propose to consider each of the methods.

Method 1. Applying plaster with a stick and a broom

Finishing a small area can be done using the old method, which uses a stick and a broom, but it is effective only when working with a small area. This type of plastering technology under a fur coat is carried out as follows: we take a broom, dip it into the solution and beat it on a stick in the direction of the wall, as a result we get splashes on the desired surface. This process takes a long time, and, most importantly, you need to have considerable experience in order to apply the mixture evenly.

Method 2. Applying plaster with a brush and plank

This method of applying plaster is also a rather old method and belongs to the category of "old-fashioned". Few use it these days, but we must consider it.

So, we need a brush and a small wooden plank. The brush must be dipped into the solution, then near the wall on which the fur coat will be applied, we turn the brush over and draw a plank over it towards ourselves, as a result, the spray we need will fall on the wall.

Method 3. Applying plaster with a roller

The next method of plastering under a fur coat takes less time and is as follows: first you need to apply thin layer mixture to the surface, then while the solution is still wet, we take a textured roller and draw it over the surface, the roller will leave a “pile” behind it. The complexity of the method lies in the fact that it is rather difficult to obtain a uniform texture using a roller, therefore, as in the previous method, one cannot do without experienced hand masters.

Method 4. Applying plaster with a compressor

You can quickly complete the work with the help of a compressor, the money spent on its purchase will pay off in full with the time saved. The pattern is smoother and more rounded. The texture is quite easily controlled by the concentration of the solution, if you make the mixture more liquid, the drops become small, as a result we get a lower surface porosity.

Important ! The advantage of the round surface of the plaster is its durability, as the thorns crumble rather quickly.

Method 5. Plastering under a fur coat using a typewriter

If your funds are not enough to buy a compressor, you can perform plaster under a fur coat using a special machine. The process itself is more handmade, but the result is almost the same if you applied the plaster with a compressor.

The machine itself is a container where the solution is poured. Inside the container there are plates that, when the handle is rotated, get dirty on the solution, then resting against a special stop, they spray onto the surface. This work is painstaking, but as a result, the fur coat is beautiful and uniform.

Method 6. Applying plaster through the mesh

This method is one of the most popular technologies plastering by hand. Despite the fact that the grid has been used for a long time, it has not lost its popularity to this day.

To get started, we need the mesh itself with small cells. The mesh must be pressed against the wall, and then, using a trowel, apply the mixture to the surface through the mesh. Then the grid is removed, forming a layer of plaster under a fur coat.

Important ! Between the resulting fragments there should not be no joints and gaps, and the layer should not be duplicated.

How to paint plaster under a fur coat

Almost always, dry mixes are sold already with the addition of a dye. Tinting pastes provide the opportunity to choose the color of the plaster under a fur coat. The basic colors of dry mixes are gray and White color if you want to dye your fur coat in a more dark tones, to you better fit mixture gray color, and to create light colors, take a white mixture.

It is better to color the solution with the help of a specialist, because you can not guess with the proportions and you will not get the desired shade.

Plaster under a fur coat can also be simply painted with facade paint, the uniformity of paint application in this method is achieved much easier. The main advantage facade paint, is the ability to repeatedly repaint the fur coat, but when cracks appear in the plaster, the original color of the solution stands out, because of this, many opt for coloring.

How to make a plaster coat with your own hands

Absolutely everyone can master the technological process of applying plaster, this is a very simple job. First of all, you must have tools and fixtures for applying plaster (broom, stick, roller, compressor or special machine). Do not forget also about the tools that you will need when working on finishing the surface on which you will make a fur coat (chisel, hammer, brush, trowel, shovel, as well as a container where the solution will be mixed).

Step-by-step application of plaster coat

Decorating walls with plaster takes place in several stages, each of which is of particular importance. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to neglect even the smallest detail in the work.

Step one: Prepare the surface

First of all, we remove cobwebs and dust, then we get rid of traces of the old coating (if any), then if the surface of the wall is even, use a hammer and a chisel to make notches.

Stage two: Primer walls

The solution adheres better to the surface if we first apply a primer to it. With purchase primer composition there will be no problems, it is in every hardware store, and it is inexpensive. Apply the primer with a wide brush once, but very carefully. For a very rough wall, it is better to use a spray gun, thanks to it, the primer will fall into every crack, and besides, this will save material consumption.

Stage three: Apply plaster coat

After the soil has completely dried, we begin to apply the plaster. The consistency of the solution should resemble sour cream. The solution is applied in three stages, it is better to let the master apply and level the first layer, since experience is required here. After the first layer dries, carefully apply the second, and after that we proceed to the fur coat itself.

Advantages and disadvantages of a fur coat

Summing up, it is important to remember the pros and cons of plastering a fur coat, let's start with the merits.

First of all, these are small financial costs. In fact, you only spend money on a mixture and tools that are very inexpensive.
Heat and sound insulation. It is achieved by applying a thick layer of plaster.
It is important that absolutely everyone can apply a fur coat without any special difficulties.
Lovely appearance

The disadvantages, perhaps, include only the moment that for some people this appearance of the house is outdated. Here everyone judges according to their own taste.

As you can see, it’s not difficult to make facade plaster under a fur coat with your own hands, the main thing is to believe in yourself and then you will succeed!
