It is impossible to carry out decorative finishing and prepare the walls for further work without putty. These compositions may differ in grain size, form of implementation and some other parameters. Such a variety of fillings was created so that in each case it would be possible to choose the most suitable material. For example, for carrying out external and internal work, different mixtures will be needed.
By purpose, putties are divided into:
- universal;
- finishing;
- starting.
The latter have high grit, have good adhesion and excellent strength. They are used to align walls with differences up to 15 mm. Finishing putty is applied after the start. It is used for final cladding before decorative finishes. Such compositions have a lower grain size, therefore they allow you to create a perfectly smooth and even surface.
Solution
The strength of the finishing composition is inferior to the starting one, and its application can be carried out with a layer of up to 5 mm. Among other market offers, the Shitrok putties should be highlighted, which will be discussed in the article.
Consumption and some specifications SUPERFINISH
This composition costs 1200 rubles. for 17 liters Its base is polymer. This finishing mix can be applied with a thickness of up to 2 mm. Drying time is 24 hours. Intended composition for walls and ceilings. Application can be carried out indoors. The grain size is 0.03 mm. Excellent “Cheatrock” is suitable for painting and wallpaper. The application temperature can vary widely, but the minimum value is 13 ° C.
The consumption of "Shitrok" in this case is 1 liter per square meter. The putty is ready for use and can be applied on mineral and plastered surfaces. Using the composition, you can close cracks in masonry, plaster and concrete. If you have drywall walls, then the seams between the sheets can be sealed with connecting tapes, applying the mixture described above.
It is also used to decorate corners using the corresponding corner elements. The first layer is applied on a metal surface, after which you can begin to apply the finish layer. Excellent “Shitrok” copes with gluing plasterboard sheets. Operation of the material is possible in a room with normal humidity.
Consumption and some specifications of Danogips Fill & Finish Light
This composition is ready for use and has a universal paste-like consistency. Polymer putty is used to create a high-quality surface, which is suitable for gluing wallpapers, applying paint or decorative coatings.
The consumption of "Shitrok" in this case is 1 liter per square meter. This is true with a layer thickness of 1 mm. A mixture is excellent for leveling plastered or sheet materials, painted or previously plastered surfaces, fiberglass or tongue-and-groove boards. Suitable for finishing joints of gypsum paintings with a delicate edge.
It is possible to process with the help of “Cheatrock” corners using accessories on a paper basis. The expense of "Cheatrock" is not all that you should know before starting work with this material. It is lightweight. This parameter is 30% less than that of finished classic finishes. It is characterized by reduced shrinkage, is easily plastered manually.
The expense of “Shitrok” is small, but many masters before starting work ask themselves how much the repair will cost. You can calculate the costs yourself if you know that for one square meter of such coverage you will pay about 35 rubles.
In this case, vinyl acetate and ethylene copolymer are used as binders. The fraction varies from 20 to 25 microns. The maximum layer thickness is 3 mm. During the operation of the “Cheatrock”, the consumption per m2 of which is known to you, it should be borne in mind that the material can withstand up to 5 cycles of freezing and thawing.
The drying time of one layer is approximately 24 hours. The final value will depend on humidity, air temperature and layer thickness. The consistency before starting work should be uniform, in this regard, the composition should be mixed. Among the main advantages of "Cheatrock" should be highlighted:
- willingness to work;
- lightness;
- convenience of manual plastering;
- minimum layer thickness;
- frost resistance.
Application Technique
Putty "Shitrok", consumption per m2 of which was mentioned above, can be used to level surfaces. The base must be dry, free of dirt, dust and peeling. Significant differences up to 6 mm should be leveled with putty. To work on an absorbent surface should be treated with soil.
When using on drywall priming is not required. The consumption of “Chetrock” per 1 m2 is not all that the master should know. For successful work you must know how solid putty is carried out. For this, a layer of material is applied to the surface and smoothed with a spatula. Each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one has completely dried. Putty is sanded with a manual method using sandpaper. The resulting surface is treated with soil. After the primer layer has dried, you can proceed to further finishing the type of wallpapering or staining.
Seam Finishing Instructions
The material is applied with a narrow spatula to the joint. Next, a tape is applied to the surface, which should be fixed without pressing with a spatula. For best results, use paper tapes from the same manufacturer. The filler accelerates along the tape from the middle to the edges.
The tape is glued by removing excess layer from under it. The surface must be leveled and left to dry completely. Next, use a wider spatula, applying a layer on top of the tape. It should be 5 cm wider than the previous one on each side. Once the layer is dry, you can begin to complete the alignment.
The use of putty in the processing of internal and external corners
The expense of "Shitrok" per 1 m2 is known to you. However, before starting work, you should also learn about angle processing technology. It is necessary to prepare a piece of corner or tape in advance. To achieve the perfect result, you should use professional corners of the same manufacturer.
On the surface from both sides of the corner it is necessary to apply a layer of putty with a narrow spatula. The corner or tape is fixed to the surface. Under the tape you should disperse the material from the middle to the edges. So you can stick the tape and remove excess layer, smooth the surface. Next, wait until complete drying. Then a layer of tape or corner can be applied using a 30 cm trowel. As soon as the layer dries, a solid putty can begin.
What else you need to know about the application technique
The consumption of Shitrok putty is almost always the same if you observe the thickness of the layer. Material should only be worn indoors. Each coat should dry well before applying the next. The finished seam must be dry before decorating or staining.
If you decide to use the dry grinding technique, then a paper grain of 240 units is suitable. For decoration and painting, use the manufacturer's instructions. All surfaces must be clean, dry and matte before applying paint. Before decorating, paint and varnish materials must be completely dry. The surface of drywall sheets should be covered with a thin layer of putty to even out absorption before painting in those places where GKL walls and ceilings will be exposed to natural side lighting or artificial lighting, followed by painting with semi-gloss or gloss paint. When using dry sanding, sanding of the outer GKL paper layer and paper tape should be avoided.
Finally
The finish of the “Cheetrock” will be approximately 1 liter per square meter of surface. The layer thickness should be approximately 2 mm. But this is not all that the master should know. Among other features of the work, it is necessary to highlight wet grinding. It involves the use of a wet sponge. This process is good in that it does not contribute to the formation of dust. When wet sanding, the most successful material is a dense sponge made of polyurethane.
