Each owner wants his house to look attractive and aesthetic. And for this it is not enough just to plaster it. And here, various color mixtures, called facade paints for plastering for outdoor works, can come to the rescue.
These paints retain and significantly increase the positive properties of the plaster. Due to the fact that the paint does not cover the pores in the plaster layer, it does not prevent water retention. In addition, the paint coating protects the walls from the damaging effects of precipitation, mold and fungus. Many paints have in their composition various fillers, which prevent the burning out of such coating in the sun. High-quality exterior paint will not get dirty and flake off.
All facade paints are divided into water-soluble and organo-soluble. Water-soluble, in turn, are divided into water-emulsion (latex) and mineral. Depending on the binder, water-dispersion paints are vinyl, acrylic and silicone. A mineral refers to cement, silicate and lime paints, in which the binding agent is portland cement, liquid glass and hydrated lime, respectively.
How to choose a facade paint on plaster?
To create a beautiful and durable facade, it is very important to choose the right paint. When choosing a color coating for the facade, you should pay attention to the manufacturer: ask for feedback on a particular manufacturer and choose the most suitable, in your opinion. Pay attention to the expiration date of the paint: do not buy an expired product, it can negatively affect the final result.
Façade paint consists of several basic components: a pigment that discolours the color of paint, various binding bases, thanks to which the paint reliably binds to the painted surface. In addition, the composition of paints includes various additional ingredients: plasticizers, drying accelerators, etc. Therefore, the quality of any paint depends on its composition.
When buying facade paint, you should carefully read the instructions on the packaging. The best facade paints on plaster are strong, wear-resistant and reliable in operation. This material must have moisture-proof and fire-resistant properties.
A good choice of paint for façade works on plaster is a material that withstands in winter low temperatures with winds, snow or rain, and in summer - a prolonged influence of hot weather with winds that carry sand and dust. In this case, the manufacturer must indicate on the packaging that such paint is weatherproof.
The layer of paint must be porous in order for the plaster wall to breathe. And it depends on the type of binder that is used in the paint. In addition, the facade paint should have a high degree of adhesion, that is, it is perfectly "stick" to the plaster, without forming swelling and peeling of the coating.
An important indicator in the choice of facade paint is the level of its lightfastness: the higher this index, the more resistant to sunlight. Covering the plaster with such a paint will help for a long time to preserve the attractive and neat appearance of the facade of the building.
