Choice of facade coatings

One of the major differences between paints for interior and exterior use is that the latter should be applied to a strictly defined type of surface.

A Range of outdoor surfaces include materials such as siding, metal siding, wood, brick, concrete block, plaster and, of course, old paint. On many houses you can find a combination of these surfaces. For each such material need some exterior paint for the exterior. How to choose it correctly? Because the material for the exterior should be resistant to weathering, have long light resistance and vapor resistance.

To avoid problems on the old paint should be applied as a coating of the same kind. But if you are not exactly sure on the type of the old layer, it is safer to paint with a pigment based on alkyd. Ideally, you want to remove outdated or damaged paint layer, sanding, sanded and covered with primer. Depending on the density of the paint it is put in one (thick) or two layers (more liquid).

How much to paint

The consumption of facade paint directly affects the size of the substrate, its condition, type of coverage, age. For example, siding, shingles, masonry or plastered walls can require 10-50 percent more paint than smooth, flat walls. Also the expense twice, it can happen when using airless sprayers, which cover a surface equivalent to two layers of paint. Requires a large consumption of paint for concrete due to the structure of the painted surface.

Calculation of the necessary volume

paint on concrete

To calculate the consumption of facade paint on a house, you need to calculate the area of the surface to be painted by multiplying the perimeter of the structure at a distance from the Foundation to the eaves. Then, for each of the gable, measure the distance from the eaves to the peak, multiply the width from the middle to the wall. The resulting number is multiplied by two, and divide the result by half. For greater clarity, the diagram is shown in Fig. From the resulting figures it is necessary to subtract area of door and window openings.

If the house has the trim from the siding, then the result need to add another 10 percent. In the case of staining, textured surface adds another 20 percent to the flow. Well, if the wall is porous (brick or stucco) then she can absorb 50 percent more paint. A little less "take" the paint on the concrete.

From an aesthetic point of view, glossy, or shiny surface causes an increased visual interest, although it is more suitable for the interior. On the practical side - this coating because of its reflectivity you can hide small imperfections of the surface, so it can be used for facades, painting of doors and Windows. Care glossy coat is much easier to matte, as it does not have the porous layer.
