You want to make the interior of your own house or apartment in accordance with the latest. Wall decoration plays a key role here. Whether it will be wallpaper or paint - the choice depends on the taste and preferences of the owners, but in any case, you should thoroughly prepare the surface of the walls before finishing them.
Today, wallpapers are losing their positions in the construction market. Wall painting, on the contrary, is gaining momentum. Why is this happening? Probably the thing is that paint gives more options when decorating walls. With the help of color, you can adjust the space of any room - visually raise the ceiling, increase the space, highlight the desired area or zone the room.
Painting the walls is fraught with pitfalls, as a plain surface allows you to clearly see any defects and irregularities. Thus, the preparation of walls for painting is an important step in decorating a room. In this case, the quality of the alignment matters a lot.
The least problems will deliverthose walls that were not previously painted. It will be enough just to remove dirt and dust from their surface, and then eliminate all small cracks and irregularities with putty. After it dries, it should be sanded with a construction float, dust removed and covered with a primer layer, which will improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface of the walls, and also protect it from delamination and cracks in the future. This completes the preparation of the walls for painting.
A completely different case when you have to apply paint on walls that previously had wallpaper or were previously painted.
Here the work will be somewhat more difficult. It all starts with a stage called "preparing the walls for plastering." First you need to remove old layers of paint or wallpaper and clean the surface of glue and other contaminants. Then the walls are leveled with a building mixture. This will eliminate bumps and cracks. After drying, a primer is applied to the plaster, which, as mentioned above, will improve the adhesion of the wall surface to the paint. Preparing walls for painting is a key stage in wall decoration, so it should be done very carefully, carefully and in accordance with the technology. Only then will painted walls delight you for a long time.
A few words should be said about liquid wallpaper. The preparation of the walls in this case is more thorough, that is, for this type of finish, the surface should be ideally leveled. This will be a guarantee that the liquid wallpaper will lie flat. They areare considered a very finicky type of finish, but their use is worth it. Beautiful shades and a special structure of liquid wallpaper will make the interior warm and cozy.
Painting the walls gives a great opportunity to make the room special, not like any other. And only if the preparation of the walls for painting is done at a high level, the walls themselves will look just great. A smooth surface and harmoniously matched color combinations will do their job: your interior will be the subject of admiration for family and friends.
