Primers and fillers: the foundation of any repairs

That's really really, primer and putty in the literal and figurative sense - the basis of each complex repair and any finishing work. No matter what have to make - to put tile, wallpaper paste, plaster, or paint the walls. First, we should take care of the careful preparation of surfaces with which you work. After all, inflict on them covering should keep for many years most often finished coat is applied with a roller. It is important to put it evenly in one layer, without omissions First - priming Whatever is the base surface (substrate) - concrete and metal, plaster or wood - all coverage should be firmly attached to it. For this and used a primer, which penetrate deeply into the base and improve its adhesion (adhesion), followed by layer. With a bonding and strengthening effect, the primer often prevent damage to the base surface (for example, when removing the wallpaper). In addition, primer promotes more uniform imposition and removal (absorb) materials such as paint, plaster, wallpaper paste, fillers, etc. The result is obvious: increase the quality of finishing facilities. Leveling compounds applied in flowing movements, preferably one with a thin layer and a single pass. It is best to use for this wide spatula made of stainless steel, of course, can not prime, say, a concrete wall. But in this case, the probability of poor repair significantly increases: then plaster can fall off, wallpaper obvisnut, in addition, under the influence of moisture is not excluded manifestation at the finish layer of various defects (stains, divorces, cracking). Thus, priming before applying the dry mix or plaster - an additional guarantee of the quality of the future surface. Processing Primer costs an average of $ 0.5 per 1 m2, and the cost of plastering work, followed by painting and wallpapering can reach $ 20 or more per 1 m2. And to this must add the cost of materials. And the exception is not the most expensive phase of the finishing work can continue to undo all the efforts, not to mention the financial cost of finishing walls and ceilings. Times when all kinds of works actually used the same primer, are long gone. And the technology of construction and repair in our country in recent years have changed dramatically, approaching those used throughout the civilized world. Today the Russian market represented a great variety of both dry and ready to use modern priming materials of which you can choose the one that you need. In the production of the considered type of work surface (brick walls, concrete or lightweight aggregate blocks, metal, plaster, plasterboard, wood, plastered with cement mortar surface, etc.), especially the room where the primer is applied (wet or dry), as well as ways to further trim (painting, tiling, plastering). As a rule, produce compounds that are used for primary training grounds (so-called primer-primer) and to improve the adhesion between the layers, finishing. Using two spatulas - the main and auxiliary - allows to apply the mixture evenly and at the same time cleaning tools Primers include film-forming substances (tar, bitumen, oil, different types of glue, etc.), pigments, drying accelerators, and various additives to impart the surface of particular properties. Performed on the mineral, acrylic, alkyd, and other basics. In the soil mineral-based binder is used as a cement. Such compositions are used for expedited processing of primary and pre-alignment of the interior walls of the same mineral materials: plaster, concrete, lightweight concrete, bricks, silicate and expanded clay concrete blocks. Now quite widespread universal water-diluted soil with good hiding power, based on acrylic copolymers. These compositions provide good adhesion contact with the final coating, including latex, acrylic and alkyd paints. It is equally suitable for surface preparation of concrete and concrete blocks, cement and cement plaster, gypsum and gypsum board, wood and its derivatives, as well as previously painted surfaces and fiberglass wallpaper. Application of sealer on the inside corner Primers fast drying alkyd based designed for primary and secondary processing of new and previously painted wood, wood fiber and particle board. Have good adhesion to such a complex work surfaces, like fiberglass, PVC plastic, galvanized steel, glass, tile. Among the materials with a narrow specialization should be noted vlagoizolyatsionnye primer (with protivoplesnevymi and fungicidal additives), the special insulating soil (prevents detection of coating defects caused by nicotine, smoke, soot, dried water) and paint-primer for the ceiling and finally Priming compositions for the preparation of the sexes. Currently the market offers a huge range of products, both foreign and domestic brands. Many large international companies established in Russia, their production and produce primer based on local materials. Do not fall behind and Russian firms that use imported production equipment. In most products containing foreign ingredients and additives. Retail price for such a primer of Russian manufacturing is slightly lower than the imported, but the quality is quite comparable. Typically, primer and putty manufactured by large producers of dry mortar or coating materials. Most popular in Russia, such foreign companies as ALPA (France), ATLAS (Poland), DUFA, HENKEL BAUTECHNIK, KNAUF, PUFAS, JOBI (Germany), OPTIROC, TIKKURILA (Finland), ICI PAINTS (UK), UCP PAINT (Canada ), SEMIN (France). Among domestic manufacturers should be noted "GLIMS-Production", "IVSIL", "PLAYSTATION", "KREPS" Svyatozar "," Miner, "" RUSLYUKS "(trademark Eurolux"), as well as the union of Yaroslavl PAINTS. On a dense and maloporistoe base, like a brick, you must apply the primer with high adhesion for the relation price-quality "all-priming putty formulations on the market can be divided into four groups: the most cheaper materials. Applicable in cases where the deciding factor is price, not quality (mainly refers to furnish public buildings, government organizations, etc.). Here, as a rule, for all types of interior provides one kind of primer. High-quality domestic materials, manufactured or jointly with foreign firms, or on the basis of imported components (brand TIGI-KNAUF, "GLIMS", "IVSIL", "Svyatozar", "Yaroslavsky PAINTS", "Eurolux and others). The third group consists of sealer and primer-known foreign companies, the most widely used in Russia (ATLAS, DUFA, JOBI, OPTIROC, TIKKURILA). Elite European (English, French and German) materials that are used only under the order. An example of such products can serve as materials of German firm LUGATO CHEMIE. They contain all sorts of specific supplements, in particular, to manage the speed of drying the mixture. Align the internal angles are comfortable with using a special spatula These formulations differ in price: a standard 10-liter jerry can of primer first group is up to 90 rubles., The second - 100-300 rub., Third - 400-600 rub. With regard to materials of the fourth group, they can cost 3-4 times more expensive blends the third level. If there is a financial choice, it makes sense to combine the materials of the second and third groups. Quality domestic trains to perform work in the back and minor premises (cellar, garage, fitness room, balcony), and imported direct to the most "responsible" surface - walls, ceilings, ledges, external corners lounge, kitchen, office. The higher cost of primers, the more strongly they differ in purpose: there are separate materials for concrete, painting, for porous surfaces. Each layer takes on a clear specialization (the layer between the wall and plaster between the plaster and putty between the filler and paint under the wallpaper). Application of sealer on the outside corner with one hand ... Every surface - a primer Pay attention to the degree of porosity of a foundation (brick, concrete, plaster and other), ie its ability to absorb moisture. This characteristic determines the adhesion of finishing materials not only from the base, but also among themselves. In the relatively dense, maloporistye foundation is better to put the primer with high adhesion. Friable, very porous surface is better to strengthen the soil deep penetration. Universal Priming compositions are applied based on the average porosity (a drop of water will dry on a surface of 3 to 20 minutes). Most high-quality professional primers designed for a specific type of substrate, thereby achieving the maximum effect from their use. Here's an example. On a concrete monolithic wall is particularly difficult to apply the first layers of plaster. Therefore, such a surface necessarily processed primers. In this case, the optimal formulations based on mineral oil (binder - cement), designed specifically for these purposes and to guarantee quality results. Say primer "Betokontakt" firm TIGI-Knauf is intended for pre-treatment of plaster of dense, non-absorbing base (solid concrete, solid concrete ceilings, etc.) in its interior. Depending on the type of surface "Betokontakt" applied undiluted or mixed with water in a ratio of 2:1. ... And the final alignment of the angle with the other releases its special primer and the Russian firm "console". Composition Consolit 301 forms a layer having high adhesion with the cement-sand mortar, plaster and polymer-based mixtures. Primer 301 Consolit good handle not only the base of cast concrete, and floors, ceilings and all other surfaces of the plant of reinforced concrete panels. This brand does not have the penetrating action, does not strengthen the weak surface and not attached to the base water resistance (all of these properties differs his fellow Consolit 340). The main task of Consolit 301 - improve the adhesive properties of the surface. Another popular in Russia primer for primary processing (alignment), the walls of mineral materials (concrete, bricks and expanded clay concrete blocks), as well as to repair the old flooring, plastered with cement mortar, is "Vetonit TT Finnish firm OPTIROC. This composition of cement-based designed for dry, damp and wet rooms. It is often used and the preparation of surfaces for tiling. For the convenience of working with putty usually use two spatulas - large and small finishing wet rooms (bathrooms, showers, saunas, bathhouses) also requires a special primer compositions. They have to create on the surface of the base a thin moisture barrier, which prevents the penetration of moisture inside the structure. Manufactured by French company SEMIN primer Waterproof Primer 94 for interior and exterior protects the surface from condensation, leaks, capillary moisture and mold. Applied in two layers: the first forms a water insoluble filling and stops the penetration of moisture, the second creates a flexible and elastic waterproof film. The primer can be used to prepare the ground for painting, wallpaper, plaster, tiling, and if it comes to handling the floor - under the screed. Among the relatively new materials in the Russian market can be noted a universal water-diluted primer-filler, based on vinilakrilovogo latex Elegant 144 (from UCP PAINT). Material allows to combine the two operations - and puttying priming - and therefore significantly reduce the time works. If we compare the Elegant 144 with the usual formulations, it is thicker coat, but the thinner filler. When applying fills all the little hollows and smooths the surface. Can be used as the final layer before painting. Elegant deposited layer 144 is polished after drying as a conventional filler. Apply primer filler can be for exterior and interior applications. It is suitable for a new painting and repairing stained (except for multi-layers of oil paint) and unpainted surfaces (smooth, porous, textured, coarse and rough). Provides excellent adhesion contact with the final coating. The correctness of the geometry of angles and walls can be verified by using the building level as regards the preparation of surfaces for painting, there is the best use of materials of the same manufacturer. This will ensure a quality result of the work. Every serious company markets its product line, ensuring the compatibility of different materials within it. And if you want to get a good result in the end it is important not the thickness of the applied primer layer, and the type and brand of the manufacturer. It is necessary to stress once again: the ground surface processing technology is required. If you have to deal with old and loose walls, usually decided primed them the most thorough way to a fortified layer was thicker as possible. If the walls are secure and well-grasped, as a rule, the primer layer thinner. In this case, working with high-quality primer of the third group, we can even reduce their concentration in order to save expensive material. The optimal value of the applied layer thickness of the soil - 0,2 mm. Must take into account that the porous surface has a better absorbency. Accordingly, increases and consumption. More primer will take on additional processing of the old walls with Chalking surfaces. When you work with primer and leveling compounds are used rollers, metal and rubber spatulas, trowels. Final sanding is carried out sanding rasp with handle. The mixture can be prepared using an electric drill with special nozzles. Experienced superintendent, estimating on-site state of the walls can make to the order of finishing some changes regarding the thickness of the layers and levels of priming. For example, a vinyl or fiberglass wallpaper with subsequent painting is sometimes used is not priming the walls, but only puttying or plastering. The fact that the very wallpaper in this case play a bridging role (in fact, the function performs adhesive primer here). Tile primer may be dispensed with if the underlying surface is in good condition (if necessary primed wall tile adhesive). Gipsolitovye blocks before applying the tile must be primed: the soil is absorbed into the surface, creating a film that will not allow the adhesive to lose moisture (if the glue does not dry within the prescribed period for the manufacturer's instructions, he loses in strength, and the tiles may eventually fly away). Fillers for interior work, even a relatively thick coat of repeating the surface profile. Therefore, the geometric accuracy of the walls can be achieved basically in two ways - by imposing a layer of plaster or paste sheet materials such as plasterboard or gypsum sheets. The final alignment of geometrically correct walls carried out by means of putty, which tends to grind, so that the surface and can be reduced to a smooth state. All modern fillers are dry mixes, mixable with water or ready to use paste-like substance and are divided into the lining (gruborelefnye) and finishing. Gruborelefnye "rough" compositions (often called fillers of the first layer) is designed for pre-alignment surfaces. Such putty is applied a layer thickness from 0,5 to 2,5 mm in one pass. The first layer should be sufficiently plastic to prevent drying shrinkage and not cracked. Finishing putty used to seal small defects, cracks, scratches, and the final alignment of the surface applied with a thin layer - typically not more than 1 mm.

The first layer should be sufficiently plastic to prevent drying shrinkage and not cracked. Finishing putty used to seal small defects, cracks, scratches, and the final alignment of the surface applied with a thin layer - typically not more than 1 mm. Extremely fine materials have been called Superfinishing. Finishing plaster cast is necessary in several layers of 0,1-0,2 mm, with intermediate drying. It is important to make sure that the total thickness of the layers does not exceed the maximum allowed for the filler value (of different brands is different and must be indicated on the packaging). Otherwise, the surface may crack. The best modern dry fillers are made on the basis of plaster or cement and must be modified polymer that provides better adhesion to the base material, elasticity, water resistance, ease of processing and ultimately improving durability deposited layer. Gypsum plaster used only in dry areas and are characterized by high plasticity, whiteness, ease of application and ease of sanding. Compositions based on plaster today is especially prevalent. They are quick to learn and quite easy to work. Putty, cement based plaster practically not inferior to the simplicity of application, but characterized by high resistance to water - they can be used not only in dry, but in humid areas. Sand cement sealer should be 1-2 days after application, because they are gaining strength for a long time and a month later, already difficult to process. Putty mixtures are prepared immediately before the operation and are suitable for use within a certain time (this figure is caused by the composition of filler). Each manufacturer specifies in the instructions for use shelf life from the moment of preparation before the seizure, when its plastic properties (the ability to uniform distribution with a thin layer) is lost. In modern fillers "lifetime" varies from 5 to 24 hours. This allows you to avoid premature drying of the composition (and hence increased flow of materials) and less likely to be distracted by cooking fresh batches. The finish line a full range of fillers for the interior offer all the major manufacturers of construction and coating materials: DUFA, TIGI-KNAUF, JOBI, OPTIROC, PUFAS, TIKKURILA, "GLIMS-Production", "Svyatozar", "RUSLYUKS. For example, the firm OPTIROC finishing dry conditions produces several types of fillers: the rough "Vetonit T" (for organic binder) and "Vetonit A" (on a polymer binder), finishing "Vetonit CD (coarse) and Vetonit HR Plus (fine-grained ). They are applied mechanically, by spraying. The company manufactures and waterproof putty (roughing "Vetonit B" and finish "Vetonit BX") on cement for walls and ceilings. The expensive high-quality composition of the solid fraction has a very small section (in the rough plaster brand Vetonit "maximum particle diameter is 0.6 mm at the finish - only 0,1 mm, such as particles in the mixture Consolit 505). As a result, walls and ceilings can be very flat and smooth. In addition, the composition of fillers include a variety of special chemical additives, which increase their strength and adhesion properties, provide a uniform drying of the solution, and subsequently - the elasticity of the finished layer. Of all materials currently available in our market, experts believe the most successful on the relation price-quality "products companies TIGI-KNAUF and OPTIROC. The compositions of these marks are combined well with each other and form an almost complete range of materials for decorating. Relatively high quality at a reasonable price offers products companies DUFA (putty Schnell-Spachtel, Fullstoffinnen, series Glattfix Elite-serie) and TIKKURILA (series "Presto", "Lakkakiti", "Preston", "Spakkeli). Primer and putty from the joint Russian-Israeli venture GLIMS PRODUCTION quality comparable to imported, and the level of their prices are somewhat lower. If you want to keep the good quality at affordable prices, the optimal choice will mark "IVSIL", "Svyatozar", "Eurolux (" RUSLYUKS) and CONSOLIT. Importantly - to remember that the products of different levels (cheap and expensive) are poorly combined with each other and that the application of expensive materials are best to use the products of one firm. As a rule, the line from one manufacturer - primers, putties, tile adhesives, dry mix - designed just for the fact that users do not have problems of incompatibility of materials (enough to read the instructions to each of them). Therefore, if you use mixes TIGI-KNAUF, the quality of all work will be achieved only in the case of primers, fillers and various types of glue of the same brand. By the way, the firm TIGI-KNAUF, the main products of which are gypsum and gypsum sheets, also produces a whole line of dry and ready for plastering mixtures of plaster and drywall. In particular, this filler series Fugenfyuller "and" Fugenfyuller Hydro jointing plasterboard, Uniflot - for puttying plasterboard panels manually without reinforcing bars, "Bordfinish - gypsum plaster for finishing works and even quick-composition" Shpahtelmassa for liquid floors, brick and concrete. Almost all manufacturers have in their program specifically for gypsum plaster surfaces. Suffice it to mention the mixture for filling and leveling seams GCR "Vetonit Siloyte" firm OPTIROC or "Presto Yacht" company TIKKURILA. Of particular note is that the wallpaper behind the walls significantly more often if glued directly to plaster. That is why in this case a layer of putty must necessarily be present - in a more smooth, polished surface otshpaklevannoy and they stick better. Treated base provides a stable and uniform absorption of the adhesive and, hence, wallpaper will not crumple and tense, not "go with wrinkles." If, however, before they are hanging on the wall does not apply putty, can tread all surface defects (pits, bumps), a well-viewed, if subtle wallpaper, and even more noticeable if the room is mounted custom lighting. In some cases, when high-quality wall mounted thick, heavy embossed wallpaper, application of sealer can be optional - just a layer of primer. Similarly, sometimes do, if the walls are plastered with ideal. Nevertheless, this is a violation of technology, which requires mandatory puttying walls under the wallpaper. It is better to calculate in advance to subsequently no confusion with the payment of repair, types and class of the materials used should be set at the beginning of work. It is advisable to prepare a draft and the terms of reference, which will stipulate used finishing materials, as well as the sequential order of all operations starting with the removal of old coatings and finishing finishing facilities. Major expenses are determined based on a clear knowledge of the degree of curvature of the walls and the level of customer requirements. If the standard works of the material application rate specified by the manufacturer, some untrue.
