You make repairs and the need for painting the ceiling arose. Having determined the front of the upcoming work, proceed to prepare the premises directly, as well as preparing the ceiling for painting. In order to create as few problems with cleaning as possible at the end of work, cover the floor and furniture (if it is not possible to completely remove it from the room) with plastic film or paper (newspapers).
Prepare a stepladder or table – the last option is preferable, you will have more opportunity to “turn around”. Take care of safety: de -energize the wiring in the room. This is necessary so that there is no closing or so that you do not hit the current.
To start the color of the ceiling, you need to prepare the ceiling for painting, clean the surface: remove the old layer of paint, whitewashing, wallpaper and so on. Wallowing is washed off with water. Old paint or plaster is cleaned with a spatula. If the paint layer is slightly held, then the work is carried out on a dry ceiling. If it holds firmly, then the ceiling before cleaning must be wetted many times with hot water.
Now carefully inspect the ceiling: mark all the cracks and fossa that appeared after cleaning the old coating: they must be shut up, and the base is wiped, that is, make sure whether the ceiling is completed for painting. In the case of minor damage to the surface, a thin layer of putty is applied, with which after grout, all the irregularities and defects of the base and angles can be corrected.
Cracks need, first of all, cleaned of the collapsing edges, then cut them and clean them. Small cracks are cut to a depth of 10 mm and sealed with gypsum solution. Wide cracks are deepened by the thickness of the plaster layer. Therefore, you need to know how to make a crack on the ceiling correctly.
When preparing the ceiling for painting, you can use the industrial filling of cracks. It is sold in the form of powder. Before use, it is mixed with water in accordance with the instructions indicated on the package. Then the aggregate is pressed into the cleared crack, and after drying, flush with the surface of the ceiling.
The dick is carried out as follows: a thin layer of solution of the same composition from which the plaster is made is applied to the plaster moistened with water. Then grind it with a grater.
After they prepared the ceiling for painting, cleaned, leveled, fraught the entire surface, it is necessary to primer it. The primer is carried out for a qualitative basis for subsequent finishing work.
In addition, deep -precious compositions not only strengthen the porous bases, but also perform an antimicrobial function, destroy microorganisms, fungi in mineral foundations. After grinding, the ceiling is ready for painting.
