Here are a few options for wall design, depending on the purpose of the premises, its size and budget allocated for the repairs. It's about the flock, paints with special effects and plastic decorative coatings. Floquet Flok cover looks very decorative due to the huge diversity of shapes and colors. Small particles of enamel are monochrome, bi-color, with sparkles, pearlescent, iridescent, with a metallic sheen, in the form of flakes, stars, or straw. The technology application is as follows: first, the prepared surface coated adhesive composition, and then using a special gun "nastrelivayut" flock and for the final polish is applied on top clearcoat. The resulting coating has a high durability and resistance to frequent washing. By the way, these qualities are essential for the public space, not less attractive and when you make a kitchen or perhaps a corridor. That's only a small area of ??the aforementioned technology looks too expensive. Therefore, to decorate the walls of apartments more suitable is another option. Acquired a special clearcoat designed to blend with the flock. Then cooked elegant mixture is applied to pre-painted surface. Obtained quickly and conveniently. Paints with Special Effects Such paints can be divided into two groups. To one group belong paint with special properties. For example, can store light and radiate it in the dark or alter the color saturation, depending on the angle and intensity of illumination. Here is quite possible to include the mosaic of paint. The second group includes paints with a special structure that allows use of special tools. Firstly, the use of paints of different colors are not mixed with one another. And secondly, the decorative effect is obtained by using spatulas and rollers of various shapes that form on the surface of the original picture. Mosaic paint is a suspension of tiny droplets, which differ in color from the base of the dye solution can be two-tone or Multicolor, comprised of droplets of several colors. For application of the mosaic of paint in most cases, requires gun. In the process nabryzgivaniya droplets are broken against the wall, forming different-sized colored blotches. The resulting image, depending on the color scheme of the mosaic of paint can resemble marble surface, granite or grainy texture of the cork surface. Often painted the colors surface reproduces the effect of suede or velvet. Keep in mind that when choosing a mosaic of paint but careful preparation of the surface you will be the selection of soil, combined with the color of the base color mosaic of paint. Usually mosaic paints are highly resistant to washing and abrasion, making them suitable for use in areas with high traffic. However, more attention should be taken to the mat mosaic paint. Because of the general properties of matte paint less resistant to wear and they are still best used for painting the living room or bedroom. Paint the first group (with the effects of "manufacturer") is very significantly reproduce the texture of natural materials and create optical illusions. Typically, the structure of such paints include solid particles of various shades that make up a single tone. The chaotic distribution of fine particles on the surface and create a unique color perception. For example, paint with the effect of the sky (recommended for registration of premises with a large area, such as rooms, halls, parlors). Painted surface changes color depending on the angle of view and creates the illusion of a soft radiance, flowing over the surface haze, bizarre and ever-changing. Attention, shoppers! One possible effect: the impression made fully painted walls, can greatly differ from the original, when the sample show a small stand, painted the selected color. Paint the second group (in this case, all the effects - the case of your hands and imagination) include in its membership a special supplement, slow-drying. Special devices - braces spatulas, brushes, shaggy cushions, suede, plastic film and even just a crumpled paper - will help to achieve the original patterns. Technology is as follows: for colored and completely dried surface layer of a different color (combining) colors. Then on wet colorful layer in different directions rolled cushion, wrapped in suede flaps. Even easier - press the damp surface of the crumpled wad of paper or suede. Image formed by the erasing tool of the upper paint layer. But to get a picture "of wood fibers, requires skill. Shaped spatula-like razor blades, requires precise hand movements. What difficulties may arise when using this paint? Experts recommend to apply a second coat of paint on a small area - about 1 square. m. After the completion of his treatment of color following a square meter and so on. This technology excessive enthusiasm or carelessness can be lead to the appearance of construction joints, ie, the boundaries between the stained areas. Decorative coatings so often referred to as plastic mass based on natural materials - lime, silica sand, terracotta beads. Coverage "antique" - a mixture comprising mineral components. With a spatula of various shapes on the prepared surface, causing plastic base layer, while the various movements of the hands to create the necessary texture. The surface relief can be quite varied and depends on the aesthetic views of the customer and the capabilities of the wizard. After drying base layer with a brush or sponge is applied topcoat. For the effect of antiques - stained wax, which is both protective and decorative elements of the coating. In other cases there may be staining the finished surface with lacquer or water-dispersion paints. A variety of existing materials in this field allows you to play "old days" of diverse nature, such as imitation roughly plastered walls cool homes in the Mediterranean. And sometimes frozen "nodules" and "folds" resemble morocco bindings ancient tomes or the intricate patterns of dense brocade. Distinct advantage of this decorative coating - minimal surface preparation and a large selection of materials - from Elite offers up inexpensive options. "Liquid wallpaper" in appearance and application technology, this material can be attributed to decorative coatings. Yet this mixture, based on cotton, raspushennoy cellulose and other components stand out in a series of finishing materials. Incidentally, it is convenient if decorative additions in the form of colorful chips or fibers are sold separately and randomly added to the mixture. The result will be more spectacular than when using the material already mixed with decorative elements. The dry mixture is diluted with water and is easily applied to the walls with a brush, roller or trowel. Thanks to the vegetable-based ready-coating warm and pleasant to the eye and touch. The only significant drawback - rabies - is eliminated with the help of dye coating with varnish or paint. Consumers say easy recovery of damaged areas of coverage (not colored). Right place moistened with warm water, cut with a sharp knife and then applied a new coating. Material does not require careful surface preparation and hides minor surface defects. Note: The ecology of the material itself is not particularly clear. But as a preparatory layer under the "liquid wallpaper" recommended alkyd primer or oil paint (based on organic solvents). And although the production of well-known foreign manufacturers - the material is safe for health, the use of large amounts of alkyd primer or paint can be somewhat confusing those consumers for whom environmental friendliness - the main criterion for choosing the material.
