Everyone knows that wooden surfaces could be unconditionally painted with the help of different enamels or lacquers. However, there are materials, which also could be used for wood treatment, and not everyone knows about it. Is it interesting for you? Specialists in the paints and lacquers application reveal secrets.
Every surface has its own material
First, let’s discuss the key rule of the painting: there is a determined kind of material for every type of the surface. If you plan a large complex repair, it is better to buy materials purposefully. They must be designed for specific jobs with the certain type of the surface.
The most common materials for wooden surfaces:
- Lacquer. It preserves the natural color of the wood and creates a durable shiny coating.
- Azure. Adds a certain shade and light shine to the wood, emphasizes the structure of the wood.
- Enamel. Completely hides the wood, gives bright colors and shine.
However, sometimes it happens that our creative ideas go a little further than the possibilities of the paint-and-lacquer materials for wood. For example, you want a bright color for children’s furniture, but are afraid to use ordinary alkyd color enamels; you need to decorate some wooden products and you need a special exclusive color. What else can be used in the working with wooden surfaces?
From the range of paint-and-lacquer materials by TRIORA, these ones are compatible for wood:
Specific features of their application:
- The interior paints applying requires surface preparation. Best of all, they could be laid on a clean, “naked” wood.
- Use a primer for wood by TRIORA. It has a water basis. Could be combined well with the interior paint. The paint is not absorb into the wood and lies flat on the previously coated with the primer surface.
- Apply lacquer after painting. That must be a water-based lacquer, which is compatible with the paint. Why the additional coverage is needed? – It protects the paint from the wear and tear reliably, adds shine and extend the coating service.
- Consider the nuances of the paint tint. If you need saturated bright, dark colors, including black, use silky-matte interior paints. If you are looking for the original color from the pastel palette, then choose semi-mat paints by TRIORA.
Whatever you decide to paint the wood, for a good result, it is better to adhere these three rules:
- Be sure to clean the surface to be painted;
- Apply materials only to dry wood. Otherwise, the surface deteriorates and loses its appearance quickly;
- Apply the second layer only after the first one has dried. Therefore, both layers are fixed on the wooden surface well; preserve the coating for a long time. Before applying the last layer, it is advised to wipe the surface with a soft sandpaper and remove small roughness. It can help to create an even coating.
The working with wood is a pleasure. Use the basic rules of the surface preparation and materials application and the result will not disappoint you.
