So it's time to do the flooring in the newly built house. Or maybe you just decided to swap the floor for a more modern and beautiful? In any case, laying wooden floors is a very important thing. For this, first of all, careful preparation of the foundation is necessary.
You may need to apply a self-leveling compound or waterproofing flooring. Everything must be done so that the floor is absolutely even. After that, you can begin to cover the base of the floor with sheets of plywood or fiberboard. The skirting around the perimeter should be laid only after the flooring is finished, so as not to damage it. To process the coating, you need paint for wooden
sexes. The further term of the floor operation depends on how well it will be applied.
Before you buy sex paint, it is advisable to know its characteristics. In this case, take into account the type of wood on which you will apply it. For example, for supporting structures, conifers are usually taken. If finishing is carried out indoors, valuable species of wood will do. Choose floor paints according to their compatibility with the previous coating. You can use protective glaze, colorless varnish or apply a coating that has an impregnating characteristics.
The paint intended for
flooring may contain pigment, which is able to detect the structure of wood, given to it by nature. Such paint for wooden floors will have good vapor permeability. This will help remove excess moisture from the wood. In addition, the substances that make up the paint, act as a protective filter against ultraviolet rays, increase the floor's abrasion resistance. Despite this, after three years, it will still be necessary to re-paint the wooden surface without removing the previous layer.
Lately, dispersive acrylic coating has gained great popularity. The solvent of this paint is water, and the binder is acrylics or copolymers. The floor, covered with a similar paint, becomes resistant to water, discoloration, the influence of various adverse factors. In addition, such a coating is “breathable”.
If you want to use opaque enamels to cover the surface of a wooden floor, then it is worth noting that they have become much less common today, as they are toxic and fire hazard.
Acrylic paint for wooden floors and varnishes are familiar to consumers for their low cost and ability to maintain a water-repellent effect. After coating the surface with paint, a protective film 0.1 mm thick is formed on it. Such paint dries quickly, not having time to penetrate deeply into the tree. In this regard, the protective film is short-lived.
Today, oil paint for wooden floors is almost never used, as many new, progressive paints of various types have appeared. Its low price is not a criterion for selecting the optimal paint product, and its service life is short, so the operating costs as a result will be several times larger.
