Texture paint for walls is increasingly becoming fashionable. It's a beautiful view and good protection from the external environment. Today we will tell you how to choose it and how to apply texture paint.

This is not easy to do with a roller; here you need to create a texture and this is perhaps the most difficult thing. Also in the video in this article and photos you can see different finishing options.

Material used to create textured patterns and unique species wall coverings in the interior of a house are textured, or otherwise called textured, paint. It includes many varieties of paint and varnish coatings.

The texture mixture has a lot useful properties and benefits, including:

• Thick consistency, acquired due to what the composition contains a large number of acrylic polymers.
• You can add any dye pigments to the original paint mixture, which allows you to incredibly diversify the color pattern of the coating. There is no need to limit yourself to one type of dye; you can add as many pigment substances as you like to the texture composition to achieve the desired shade.
• The assortment of most modern construction supermarkets includes special fillers for texture mixtures, which, when added to the paint composition, imitate the color of various natural surfaces, giving the finished object the appearance of rock, textile fabric or wood. Thanks to this, textured paint will provide any interior with a unique atmosphere and excellent appearance.
• In addition to chemical fillers, ordinary sawdust can be added to the textured composition, which will provide the finished wall with the appearance of a rough relief. And to achieve a glossy effect from the paint, the thick consistency of the mixture must be diluted with water.
• If you want to create for your walls the appearance of a surface with sharp and sharp boundaries, you need to add quartz sand to the original composition of the texture paint.

Varieties of textured mixture

The types of texture compositions differ from each other not only in the fillers added, but also in the substances in the original “texture” mixture.

All types of paint are divided into four categories:

• Texture mixture used when working inside buildings (see);
• Paint used for coating facade surfaces;
• Textured paint with a coarse composition;
• Fine-grained paint mixtures.

Attention: One of the main properties that ensures the “invoice” is widely used in design work, is a high indicator of resistance to thermal influence.

The material is also considered universal due to the fact that such a coating is not affected by precipitation. The mixture has these and many other features due to the acrylic elements contained in the composition, which are the connecting link between all substances in the paint structure.

Advantages over other paint and varnish compositions

Before choosing between types of texture mixture, it is worth learning about the strengths of the “texture” that distinguish it from other options in the field of varnish coating:

• The material is moisture resistant, which makes it possible to use such paint in kitchen and bathroom interiors (see), without worrying about damage to the textured surface.
• Textured material will provide any wall with mold resistance and other household infections.
• Ultraviolet radiation is harmless to the texture mixture, so the paint can be used for any external surface coating work. This solution is also supported by its good resistance to severe weather conditions.
• The material has a long service life, during which the coating of the textured composition will not change the original appearance in any way and will retain its advantages. In situations where the wall covering is at risk of fading or fading, the texture mixture is perfect, firmly withstanding all influencing factors.
• "Fakturka" is an environmentally friendly composition, since its creation uses substances that are absolutely harmless to human body. People with allergic diseases also have nothing to fear - the material is not an allergy irritant.
• The surface coated with the texture composition is not subject to contamination or exposure household chemicals , because paint material provides the creation of a protective layer that will keep the wall constantly clean.
• The work prior to coating does not need to include leveling the wall surface, since the paint perfectly masks all defects, such as cracks and irregularities.
• Choosing a paint shade will not force the buyer to search for a long time for a suitable option in construction stores, since the required color pigment can be added directly to the original “texture” composition. You can change the color directly during work, which allows you to quickly make adjustments to an unsuitable color.
• The entire coating application consists of two or three layers of paint., ensuring fast work without any additional coatings or fastenings.
• Acrylic polymer substances give textured paint a lot of useful properties, among which no less important than appearance and durability is the practicality of the material. Practicality means the ability of the “texture” to hide all the flaws of the surface being coated, ridding the wall of any cracks and irregularities. Also, acrylics as part of the texture mixture will provide an optimal level of humidity in the room, the influence occurs due to physical characteristics.

In comparison with the huge number of advantages, the number of disadvantages is very small and unnoticeable. The disadvantages include the visually reduced appearance of the room, which appears due to a thick layer of paint applied to the walls, as well as due to textured patterns made in volume. But the appearance of this defect can be easily avoided by finding the right shade for the texture mixture, which will not create any defects in the interior.

“Texture” on different types of coating

The main condition when using such compositions is right choice material and a competent combination of paint with special additives. Depending on which filler you choose, the coatings will differ radically.

Therefore, the entire “invoice” is divided into the following types:

• "Relief"- a type of textured painting, the name of which speaks for itself. This paintwork imitates a relief surface, the effect of which the paint acquires due to sawdust or stone chips added to it. The size of the added elements determines the level of relief of the image on the wall.
• "Mizuri"- a surface that, after application, acquires the external properties of gloss. The mixture to create such a coating must include in its initial composition a sufficient volume of water and a certain amount of modified starch. It is due to these substances finished wall will have a unique glossy shine effect.
• "Atacama", the essence of which is to create a light ray based on the refraction optical effect. The paint has reflective properties thanks to an acrylic base mixed with quartz chips or metal filings. The proportions of adding these components also determine general form painted surface.
• "Marseille wax"- this is the type of coating that any designer will truly enjoy working on. The point is the variability of this type of surface and the wide scope for creative ideas. Wax coating can imitate many different materials: from natural stone to cork. And after applying the texture paint, the entire surface is covered with special wax, which is used in room decoration. A wall painted using this method will have a luxurious look, attracting glances and amaze onlookers.

It is impossible not to mention the less popular, but no less beautiful type of surface. The basis of the “invoice” in in this case The acrylic substance will again become, pigment dyes are added as fillers. The coating features a deep shade and a unique shine, reminiscent of the shine of real pearls.

When applying this type of texture paint to a surface, wide paint rollers or large brushes are used, with the help of which designers imitate the look of many rare coatings, such as wet silk. To give the finished coating such an effect, the paint is applied using the method of chaotic stains and strokes.

Methods of applying “texture”

Do-it-yourself texture painting of walls is divided into several methods, choosing between which you need to focus on many external factors and conditions:

Painting with a brush	A fairly practical method if paint needs to be applied to hard-to-reach areas of the coating or to a small part of the surface. The texture mixture has good adhesion, but in order to avoid all sorts of defects and wear, it is recommended to carefully check the cleanliness of the tools used. You also need to monitor the prepared surface on which the material will be applied. A necessary condition for it, as well as for the container in which it is planned to contain the mixture, will be cleanliness. This application option is often used for facades. Brush painting work proceeds as follows: The textured paint is mixed to a pre-selected consistency. At the beginning, the coating is applied with vertical strokes, the next - with horizontal strokes. This is done to smooth out any brush marks left by the initial layer. The final stage is covering the entire surface with vertical strokes, which will become the third layer.
Roller painting	Technology that will help the coating be wear-resistant and last for many years. Most often, a roller is used to apply paint to the ceiling (see). The material for such work often becomes acrylic paint based on latex substances. This application method includes two stages: first, the layers are applied from bottom to top, and then vice versa.
Spray coating	One of the most difficult methods, since the surface must be brought to a state of cleanliness and dryness. Similar to the above methods, the work consists of covering with two layers, the movements for the first will go from left to right, and for the second - vice versa. The work will dry completely in exactly one day, so you will have to wait patiently.

Stages of applying the “texture”

Decorative work on painting surfaces is divided into two stages. This preparatory stage and the application of the dye itself.

Preparation

This work is not difficult, but mandatory.

It will mainly determine the durability of the coating:

• It is necessary to carefully check the wall being treated for any deformations, even the smallest ones, which over time can damage the integrity of the textured layers.
• A prerequisite is the removal of the old surface coating, complete cleaning of the walls and getting rid of any possible defects. The maximum permissible height difference is about two millimeters.
• To improve the adhesion of the coating to work surface, it is worth covering it with a primer (see), created on the basis of acrylic. The row of primer must be applied evenly, and color scheme must exactly repeat the note of the chosen paint. After applying the primer, you need to wait for it to dry completely, which will last from three to five hours.

Application

For plastic this finish is not used, the plaster simply will not stick, but when applying it is necessary to adhere to a certain set of rules:

• Before starting painting work, the container filled with the prepared mixture must be brought to the degree value that is typical for the room.
• Next comes the process of mixing the composition, which is best done with a special construction mixer.

Attention: It is allowed to add water to the paint composition, the amount of which should be two or three percent of the total volume of the dye.

• You need to know exactly which texture will be ideal. In accordance with this, it is necessary to supplement the mixture with the required proportions of special additives. The overall consistency will depend on exactly how much of this filler will be taken for the total mass.
• As a rule, the “texture” is applied in 1-2 layers in stages. This will be quite enough to achieve the desired result. After completing the work, you will have to wait a day for the paint to dry completely.
• Despite the fact that hardening occurs within a quarter of an hour, it is necessary to allow the paint to dry completely. It is then that it will acquire the desired texture and shade, and the interior will not look unfinished.

To make an unusual pattern in the form of random streaks and movements on a surface that has not yet hardened, it is best to use a soft brush.

• If the desired coating should be multi-colored rather than monochromatic, then special pneumatic sprayers should be used. They will allow you to play with colors and create unusual combinations.
• To create a spectacular and unusual pattern, a rag or crumpled paper is usually used. Thanks to this, the resulting ornament will become the “highlight” of the design.
• To emphasize the oriental theme in the interior, you can make an imitation of bamboo on the covering with your own hands. To do this, you need to firmly attach the rope to the roller and run it over the surface, which has not yet hardened. This procedure needs to be done several times. This will give the impression of the stems of an Asian plant.

Texture facade paint It is available for sale, the price is not high, you just need to choose the one that will emphasize the desired texture. The instructions will help you make the right choice.

Today among finishing materials Texture paint for walls is very popular. With its help you can achieve a relief surface, create a unique texture, and even save on preparatory work Oh. The consistency of the paint is very dense and viscous; when applied, the thickness of the coating is much greater than that of conventional paint. Consequently, the time for preparatory work is reduced, since there is no need to perfectly level the surface of the walls. If desired, this paint can be used for the ceiling.

The texture dye contains a binder acrylic polymer. Thanks to this, the material has the following qualities:

• used for both outdoor and interior works;
• with increased moisture resistance, resistant to temperature fluctuations and precipitation;
• prevents the appearance of mold;
• durable, resistant to chemical influences;
• decorative relief is not modified;
• easy to care for, environmentally friendly;
• used for texturing walls with uneven surfaces;
• By adding color pigment it is possible to achieve any shade.

Types of paint and popular brands

Texture paint for walls is divided into categories that differ from each other in composition; with its help, a relief texture is achieved:

• finishing composition for facade surfaces;
• textured painting material for interior decoration;
• universal paint (for interior and exterior use);
• fine grain dye;
• texture paint with a coarse-grained composition.

When choosing a material for decorative painting of walls (or for the ceiling), you should not give preference to cheap compositions.

• First, consult with professional builders who have been performing finishing work for many years."TEX Universal" – the paint is intended for interior and exterior finishing

• . Can be used to cover walls in the bathroom and kitchen, as it has increased moisture resistance. The durable composition of the paint allows it to be applied in one layer to cement or concrete surfaces.

“Optimist” is an acrylic-based material, also intended for exterior and interior use. Its spectacular texture will help hide minor wall defects. On video: application guide decorative materials

Tools and materials for work

• To paint walls with texture paint you will need to purchase the following tools and materials:
• acrylic putty;
• primer;
• medium size spatula;
• cuvette (tray) for paint;
• rags;
• rollers (regular and structural);
• scraper;
• foam sponge;
• texture paint;

workwear.

If you don't have a structure roller, you can easily make one yourself. For this you will need a rough rag. Attach the rag to the roller with thread and get to work.

Preparing walls for painting The walls must first be cleaned of dirt. This can be done with water, detergent and rags. Use a spatula or scraper to remove any remaining old coating. If there are cracks or gouges in the surface, fill them acrylic putty

. Once completely dry, coat the entire wall with primer. Leave to dry for approximately 12 hours.

Preparation before painting is required. Texture material can hide only minor wall imperfections. And the primer will help the paint adhere more firmly to the surface. First, read the instructions, dilute the powder with water using a construction mixer, and mix the finished paint thoroughly. Now you can add color pigment or mix several paints to achieve the desired shade. The pigment should be added while mixing, so the consistency of the paint will be as uniform as possible.

Do a test job before starting painting. Make a few test strokes with a roller on a small piece of cardboard.

Options for the resulting effects

In the process of applying texture paint, you should consider whether the pigment is selected correctly, whether it is compatible with the dye, and also choose the desired technique for applying the material. Thanks to these components, you can get a unique relief. Conventionally, finishing can be divided into several types:

• Marseille wax. Externally, the surface resembles a combination of tree bark and natural stone. After the texture paint has completely dried, it is necessary to cover the surface with wax. This will give the walls more depth and a luxurious effect.

• Relief. If you want to create a relief transition of small dots and thin strokes on the wall, sawdust and quartz chips will help you with this. Materials should be added to the paint and mixed thoroughly. It is not difficult to adjust the degree of relief. If a minimum surface grain size is required, sand can be added instead of quartz chips. Here everything will depend on your imagination.

• Atacama. To create a three-dimensional wall surface, it is necessary to add fine metal shavings and sand to the acrylic dye in equal proportions. This composition will create an optical illusion. From different corners of the room it will seem to you that the wall has a reflective velvety base filled with volume.

• Mizuri. The most popular type of surface coating. It's quite easy to achieve this effect. Water and modified starch are added to the paint. After drying, the wall becomes glossy. Sometimes a pigment filler is added to the composition, which allows you to achieve a pearly shine. The paint is applied to the wall in chaotic patterns, resulting in the effect of a wet lye.

Before painting, be sure to wear protective clothing and safety glasses. This will protect your eyes and body from paint.

Texture paint application technique

The consumption of materials depends on the application of texture paint and the relief of the coating. Methods for applying the coloring composition are varied. For painting works you can use classic Building tools, such as a spray gun and brushes.

The spray gun is used for painting large surfaces. With its help, you can regulate the flow of the jet onto the wall, thereby creating a relief texture. This painting technique can even be used for the ceiling.

Paint brushes are used to paint small areas. With their help you can create careless or even lines, smooth stains or even glossy surface. Brushes should be purchased with hard bristles. The relief pattern is applied in the third layer.

All these tools are appropriate for light, gentle, classic decorative painting. If you want to make your interior unique, the tools at hand will help you set the desired zest.

The easiest way to create a relief pattern on the wall is to depict chaotic patterns. To do this, apply texture paint to the surface. Without waiting for it to dry, use a dry brush to make strokes. This technique can be used to create a variety of relief patterns. You can create a unique decor on a damp surface using available materials.

If you wrap a roller with thick rope and then walk along a freshly painted wall in different directions, you get the effect of bamboo stems. Various items that at first glance are not compatible with repair are suitable for the job. You can make thin wavy stripes with a regular comb. Also, to create relief, crumpled newspapers, rags, washcloths, etc. will go into the entrance.

Of course, you can greatly simplify the task by purchasing a special texture roller at a hardware store.

Such a tool may consist of two rollers: the first is standard, soft; the second - with a printed pattern. When painting, you can use paint of two colors, so the relief print will stand out more clearly.

Work progress: first paint the wall completely in one color, then moisten the roller in a ditch with paint of a different color and apply strokes to the wall with light movements. Visually demarcate the surface so as not to jump from one strip to another. The wall must be painted in one stage, otherwise gaps and borders will appear in the relief.

During work, the structural roller may become clogged with paint, and then you will not achieve the desired design. To avoid such an incident, periodically rinse it under warm running water.

If the relief pattern will be applied as a second layer, do not forget that the first one must dry completely. To do this, 12 hours must pass between paintings.

When the texture painting is completed, all windows and doors in the room should be closed for a day. The temperature must be at least 18 degrees for the paint to adhere tightly to the wall. The technique of applying texture paint itself is not complicated. To create a pattern you don’t need the skills of an artist, just a little imagination. This decoration is appropriate for the ceiling, room walls

and facades. The main thing is that thanks to this painting you will mask small cracks and uneven surfaces.

Surface finishing is necessary not only for beauty, but also to improve performance.

Every owner wants the walls to be practical. Therefore, before starting repairs, the question of choosing a finishing material often arises.

It is even more difficult to choose it when the walls are not smooth. After all, you don’t always have time, money, or just the desire to level the walls. Moreover, this will require skills. Now there is an inexpensive and which is suitable for absolutely anyone. It was developed relatively recently, but has already proven itself in the construction market. Texture wall paint will visually smoothen and add beauty to any wall. In addition, it is easy to apply, so the help of a specialist is not needed.

Texture paint is used not individually for interior decoration, but also to give the facades of buildings relief. This allows you to create a good protective layer from mechanical and natural influences.

It applies well, but only if the surface is compatible with the one being used. Texture paint has many technical qualities:

• water is used as a solvent
• The paint contains acrylic latex
• density is 1.7 g/mg
• required amount of material 1.5 kilograms per square meter
• dries in about two hours, at a room temperature of 23 degrees
• stored closed, at an air temperature of no more than five degrees

The paint has an ideal viscosity, which allows you to apply the material and create a variety of decorations. This can be done with a special roller or a regular spatula. Texture paint can come in a variety of colors, which helps bring any design into reality. It is also convenient to use because tinting can be done at home. To do this you will need a construction mixer and colored pigment.

After applying the material, a protective film which protects against:

• gusts of wind
• raindrop
• heavy snow
• high temperature

Of course, this protection is not endless, but within five years you will no longer have to think about finishing.

Texture paints have many advantages due to their composition:

• practicality and resistance to various influences
• maintains optimal humidity
• prevents the appearance
• moisture resistance, which allows the material to be used in the bathroom and kitchen
• long service life in original form
• environmentally safe material no harmful substances
• resistance to chemicals
• leveling walls and filling voids
• easy to apply, does not require special skills
• possibility of obtaining any color scheme and texture
• reasonable cost
• the material is easy to clean

The above benefits are the main indicator that texture paint is widely used nowadays.

Main types of invoices

Nowadays, every person is trying to furnish their home according to an individual, personally created design. You can reproduce an interesting decor using texture paint for.

Each person can choose their own application methods. Using this paint, they create not only the necessary relief, but also the necessary color scheme. The surfaces that can be obtained using this material are divided into several varieties:

• "Atacama" has a reflective velvet structure. To obtain the desired result, metal filings and quartz sand are added to the material before use.
• If you add a mixture of quartz chips and sawdust to the material, you get a “Relief” surface. The degree of relief will depend on the number of added components. Therefore, each person determines the proportions individually for himself.
• When the paint is diluted with modified starch, a surface is obtained, which is conventionally called “Mizuri”.
• Using texture paint you can also imitate bark, cork or stone. The resulting surface is called “Marseille wax”. After the wall is completely dry, decorative wax is applied over the material. It gives the surface a striking luxury effect.
• If you add pigment dyes to texture paint, you can get a pearlescent shade. At the time of dyeing, random stains are made on the surface, which imitate wet silk.

There are many more ways to use texture. A person can choose absolutely any texture and color for his room. However, no special skills are required for this. You can get by on our own without involving specialists.

Step-by-step process of working with material

The entire process of working with this type of material can be divided into two stages:

• Preparation
• application

At the first stage:

• It is important to determine the possibility of surface deformation, as this may cause the material to shed. Therefore, vibration resistance is determined. If they are present, it is recommended to eliminate them immediately. Otherwise, all your efforts will go to waste.
• After this, the old material is removed and the surface is cleaned. It is recommended to cover all cracks with plaster. It is also taken into account that differences cannot exceed two millimeters. It is this amount of error that the material can hide.
• Also, for better adhesion, it is recommended to cover the surface with acrylic.
• Important! The primer should be matched to the base material. The layer must be applied evenly, without gaps.
• The primer takes three, sometimes five hours to dry.
• When it is completely dry, you can begin to directly paint the walls.

Second phase:

• Before use, texture paint is heated to room temperature and stir well. To make the task easier, it is recommended to add water in the amount of two or three percent of the total volume of the mixture.
• Next, fillers are added. As already indicated above, it can be sawdust, sand and the like. It all depends on the imagination of the person carrying out the repairs.
• Texture paint is applied in one, maximum two layers. It is recommended to do this in small areas of two meters square. This is due to the fact that it sets quickly, so it is necessary to work with it.
• It is worth considering that the initial hardening of the material occurs after fifteen minutes, and complete drying takes at least a day.
• It is better to apply the paint with a roller, then the layer will be more uniform.

And the final stage is the application of decorative designs, if necessary. To do this, use special rollers or something else. Here everything depends on the owner’s imagination.

When applying texture paint, it is better to pay attention to the following important points:

• If you want to create chaotic stains, you can purchase a soft brush. Any design can be drawn on the material that has not yet hardened. The main thing is that the tool is of high quality and does not leave hairs. It will be difficult to remove them from the paint.
• By winding ropes around a roller in different directions, you can get bamboo stems on the wall. To do this, you also need to run this over the unhardened surface. The texture is quite interesting. A thick rope will create a more prominent pattern.
• To create various color ranges pneumatic sprayers can be used. But, it should be taken into account that the pressure level in them should not be lower than 5 atmospheres.
• When there is a desire to reproduce individual drawings, it is not necessary to use special Construction Materials. To create a relief, a regular piece of damp cloth or crumpled paper wrapped in a bag will do. All you have to do is drag it across an uncured painted wall and you get a three-dimensional pattern. Moreover, now the trend is considered to be asymmetrical designs, that is, which, in principle, are not repeated. But a decorative roller will help to recreate the same pattern throughout. By the way, you can create such a tool yourself from the funds at hand.

Popular brands

Now the construction market is overflowing with various textured wall paints. Their price depends on the manufacturer and volume. Popular types of this material are:

• TEX Universal. It is used for finishing mineral surfaces. These include brick and concrete. This type of material is used for external and internal decoration of walls. The paint has good covering quality and is quite resistant to various influences.
• Another popular type of material is Optimist. It is made on an acrylic base. Used for all types. With this variety, individual textures are created and minor wall defects are hidden.

Of course the market is crowded various types texture paints. But they don’t always have good quality. Therefore, it is best to use brands that have already proven themselves to be good in finishing.

Texture paint: types and methods of application - on video:

Texture paint will help create a stylish and original interior. Such cladding will not only make the surface smoother, but will also give it the desired texture.

A special feature of textured wall paint is its unusual texture and patterns, which create a stylish and non-standard cladding. Numerous options for such finishing will make the interior of the room original and cozy.

When choosing wallpaper for the kitchen, pay attention to textured paint. The stylish cladding pattern is obtained thanks to the individual filler particles contained in the material. Texture wall paint is a type of water-based paint. The viscosity of this solution is greater than that of other similar materials, which makes it possible to achieve unique patterns.

What is texture paint?

Texture paints are known for being able to get rid of cracks, bumps and small chips without using additional materials. Such paint contains fillers with particles whose size varies from 50 microns. They provide the composition with the required viscosity.

The consistency of the solution is a dispersed mixture white, which contains acrylic polymers.

Adding various fillers, you can get any textured imitation for walls: textiles, natural stone or tree bark.

To obtain a rough textured base, sawdust is added to the mixture. If a glossy texture is required, the solution is diluted with water to the desired state. To create a solution with sharp edges, quartz sand is added to the composition.

The paint is applied to any prepared surface - concrete, brick or wood.

Pros of texture paint

Before choosing a specific wall decoration option, it is recommended to consider the main advantages of texture compositions. It is more economically feasible to paint a room with a textured solution than to engage in expensive leveling of the wall surface.

It is worth highlighting the following advantages of the composition:

1. The low cost of the material allows us to create an affordable price.
2. High-quality wall finishing without the use of expensive materials.
3. Huge selection color palette. In this case, the shades are adjusted over time.
4. Easy to apply.
5. Possibility of finishing surfaces from different materials.
6. High level of resistance to moisture and temperature.
7. Resistance to mold growth on surfaces and resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

Walls coated with texture paint can be washed with water and without fear of damaging the surface. The mixture fits well in one layer and does not require additional processing.

In the production of textured wall paint, safe components are used that do not provoke allergic reactions. By adding a certain color in the required proportions, the solution can be given any shade.

Main types of texture paint

The classification of paint depends on the original composition and filler. The following types are distinguished:

1. Solution for interior work.
2. Composition for outdoor work.
3. Fine-grained and coarse textured mixture.

By combining various fillers the following surfaces can be obtained:

• The “relief” surface is obtained by creating the effect of an uneven structure. The paint is mixed together with sawdust and quartz chips. In this case, the relief depends on the size of the added particles.

• "Mizuri" is obtained by mixing the mixture with water and modified starch. After drying, the treated wall acquires shine and gloss.
• "Marseille wax" is used to better display imitations such as tree bark, cork or natural stone. After the paint has dried thoroughly, a special wax is applied to the wall, adding depth and beauty to the walls.

• "Atacama" allows you to create the appearance of a velvet surface. WITH acrylic base quartz sand and metal filings are mixed.

The original solution is mother-of-pearl paint, which has a pearly shine. In this case, certain pigment additives are added to the solution. Application to the wall is done with random streaks, which allows you to create an imitation of wet silk.

Features of working with texture paint

All types of texture paints are versatile. With their help you can decorate wooden, plaster or cement surfaces.

To carry out the work you will need a relief roller, spatula, sprayer, sponge, brush and construction mixer.

Preparing the wall

Before painting, preparatory work is carried out:

1. The old finishing is dismantled.
2. The wall is cleaned and plastered.
3. The cracks are sealed. The height difference should not be more than 2 mm.
4. The wall is treated with an acrylic primer, which ensures reliable adhesion decorative covering with a wall.

The shade of the primer should match the tone of the chosen paint. Primed surfaces must dry for at least five hours.

Applying paint

The most in a simple way It is considered to be applying paint with a special roller. In this case, the pattern is symmetrical and uniform. The viscosity of the solution is adjusted by adding water.

1. Before work, the paint is heated to room temperature and mixed using a construction mixer. The mixture is diluted with water to no more than 11% of the total composition.
2. Depending on the desired texture, filler is added to the paint.
3. The paint is applied in one layer in small areas of 1-1.5 meters.
4. A pattern is formed with a roller or a relief spatula.
5. Pearlescent paint is applied with a special roller. In this case, chaotic divorces are performed.
6. Texture paint with glitter is applied in two stages. First paint, and after hardening, additional glitter.
7. The composition applied to the wall dries completely within a day. Initial hardening occurs in 15-20 minutes.

Secrets from specialists

Using your imagination, you can create original and beautiful patterns on the wall. Useful tips will help you make custom patterns yourself:

1. Interesting paintings are applied using a soft brush onto an unhardened surface. In the same way, artistic stains are depicted on the wall.
2. If you wrap a rope around a roller in different directions and run it over a still wet surface, you can get patterns in the form of bamboo stems.
3. A unique decor is obtained by using a wet rag or a piece of crumpled paper. This is not a decorative “brick” finish, but it is beautiful.
4. Original patterns can be created using a pneumatic sprayer. In this case, the spray gun must be held perpendicular to the surface.
