Painting lining - the final finishing process. The quality and durability of the coating depends on the quality of work and the right material. Let's see how to do it right.

How to paint the lining?

The tree needs to be covered. The range of paints and varnishes is huge, so the choice of material for lining depends on specific goals:

protection against fungi / mold;
giving moisture resistance;
decorative;
save texture, etc.

The lining can be painted different means. All of them are divided into two groups.

Functional compositions

Ensure the safety of wood, extend the service life. Give her necessary qualities, increase operational functions:

flame retardants- protective compounds that reduce the flammability of the material. They are mandatory coverage. They can be universal (with biosecurity) and give a shade.
Antiseptics, biopyrenes, bactericidal compounds- often called impregnation, as they penetrate into the depths of the wood. Protect from aggressive environments, UV rays, block the development of rot / mold. They are divided into subgroups: for internal works and outdoor.

Drying oil - gives water-repellent properties, protects from rotting. It is used only for outdoor work, dries for a long time, has a smell. A surface covered in several layers may stick for 1-2 years.
Alkyd varnishes- retain texture, are considered universal: wood protection + decorative effect. Apply to finishing. Applied in two layers: the first is a transparent varnish, the second is a varnish with tinting.

Synthetic varnishes- Compared to acrylic, they have an aggressive, difficult to weather smell. After application, they form a smooth surface with a rich sheen. The composition contains substances harmful to health (toluene, xylene), so they are used, as a rule, for outdoor work.
Yacht varnish- the most durable and reliable coating. Provides protection against moisture, ultraviolet, fungal formations. It contains strong-smelling solvents, but after drying, the smell disappears. It happens three types: matte, glossy, semi-gloss.
Oil varnishes - contain resins, desiccants, oils, solvents. They form high-quality on the lining protective film giving an ocher hue. Used inside and outside the house.

Wax based formulations- are an advantageous alternative to varnishes. They give a matte shine, reliably protect the tree. Texturol does not need a primer and is available in 18 colors.
Aqualaki - the best option for lining. Produced on water based, are matte, glossy, semi-gloss. They retain vapor permeability, may have bactericidal additives, color, UV filters.

Decorative compositions

They help to radically change the color of the tree, are used in design projects, serve as protection for wood fiber:

Oil paints- increase resistance to aggressive influences, including moisture. Easy to apply, but dry for a long time, reduce the air permeability of the tree. Oil paint is considered an impractical coating: after 2-3 years, it begins to change color (burns out). Recommended for interior work.
Alkyd enamels- suitable for interior decor have a wide color range. After drying, they bark a glossy sheen. Not durable, after a few years they require re-painting.
Acrylic, acrylic paints - durable, in many respects superior to oil. Acrylic gives elasticity, so they do not crack from temperature fluctuations and minor deformations. Acrylic paint is versatile, effective for lining inside and outside the house.

Water-based paints - create a matte surface, leave a wooden texture, dry quickly, do not impair breathability, do not have bad smell. In terms of reliability and durability, they are inferior to all types of varnish. A thick layer will completely hide the texture of the lining.
wood stain- completely preserves the texture, gives a shade / tones. The intensity of the color is achieved by the number of layers.

There are many compounds mixed type that can be attributed to both groups. They can tint, give decorativeness and protect at the same time.

How to paint a lining

It is not difficult to paint the lining with your own hands. Surface preparation is an important step in painting technology. It must be cleaned of contaminants and treated with a solution of soda (2%). If the paint has already been applied and has peeling - apply mechanical cleaning with sandpaper.

Primary application involves the use of impregnations, but it is not necessary to impregnate a dry board. It is better to use universal formulations with protection. The lining is painted only on the front side, the back remains untreated.

Using for lining water-based paint, it is diluted with water - this will help to apply a thin layer and preserve the pattern of wood. In a damp room, protective compounds must be used, preferably on both sides and at the places of cuts / cuts.

The high quality of the final result will be achieved by sanding and painting each board up to the moment of installation. Already processed boards are nailed to the walls / ceiling.

Consider the technology of piece staining:

The lining needs to be sorted. Deformed, cracked, knotty boards are rejected. They will go for undercuts, come in handy for testing paint and mounting in closed places.
Quality material is polished(front side and tenon/groove). It is more convenient to work with a grinder, you can use a bar with sandpaper. Grain is used Nos. 250–280. The back side can not be processed.

The prepared surface is cleaned from dust and paint with a roller, brush, spray. Using a brush, you need to blend the composition along the board, trying to get a uniform color.
Covering varnishes/paints can lift pile, after drying, leave roughness. In this case, the surface is ground again. Then a second layer is applied.

When painting, achieving the intended result, you can apply an unlimited number of layers of paintwork materials. Repeated painting is always carried out with a minimum composition on the brush and good shading, otherwise there will be smudges and uneven color.

Raw, semi-moist wood should be primed. Otherwise, it is impossible to achieve uniform coloring. A matte colorless varnish is often used for a primer.

	Tip 1 Before work, the paint is thoroughly mixed - this is the golden rule.
	Tip 2 The paint will lay down better if you work not with the middle of the brush, but with the tip.
	Tip 3 You can express the pattern and emphasize the texture of wood with wax, varnish, pigmented oil.
	Tip 4 The saturation of the coating is obtained not by applying one thick layer, but by creating several thin layers.
	Tip 5 The paint lays down best during long, continuous strokes.

Conclusion

Painting lining requires certain knowledge. Now you are familiar with paintwork materials and know how to get the job done right.

In the presented video in this article you will find Additional information on this topic. In the comments, tell us about the paints you worked with and what difficulties you encountered.

Lining is a finishing material that looks good in the interior wooden house. It is used for both residential and commercial premises. The wood from which it is made needs to be treated with protective agents. And to give an attractive appearance to the lining is applied decorative coating. Naturally, to create beautiful coverage you need to choose the right means for processing and materials for decoration.

Why process lining and how to choose the right funds

Before processing the lining, you should find out:

Do I need to apply a protective coating, or can I do without it;
in what rooms the processing will be carried out - in dry or with high humidity;
whether to apply a decorative coating, tint or leave it natural.

Having decided, you can proceed to the choice of impregnation and material for decorative lining of the lining in the interior. You can leave the lining uncoated, but this option is suitable for people who are satisfied with the fact that the wood darkens over time. Some owners specifically do artificial aging with blowtorch. After this, it not only darkens, but also releases resin, which gives the surface an individuality. It happens that the owners of the baths do not process the walls due to the fact that they use cheap lining. It will be more practical for them to change it completely in a few years than to spend time and money on processing it.

In order to properly process the walls, you should know what functions the impregnation for lining inside the house should perform. So, the impregnation should:

give good protection from ignition, such qualities are given to wooden products by fire retardants, which reduce its combustibility;
protect from moisture, especially in damp areas. To do this, antiseptic agents are applied to the wooden surface;
protect from mechanical damage (chips and scratches);
protect from impact ultraviolet rays. Wood treated with UV-resistance products changes color more slowly;
provide bactericidal protection against insects;
attach to walls beautiful view. You can give the lining the desired shade using toning. Using varnish, you can make the surface glossy, matte or semi-gloss.

To give the tree the necessary properties, usually several compounds are used that have the necessary qualities.

Types of compositions - fire retardants, stains, varnishes and paints

All compositions for processing lining can be divided into two groups: protective and decorative. The first are designed to extend the service life. They protect against moisture, insects, the formation of fungus, mold. The latter give the lining an attractive appearance. Processing must be updated regularly, as funds lose their properties over time. Processing of lining in the premises is carried out by the compositions listed below.

Flame retardants reduce the combustibility of wood. This is especially important for living rooms. In the event of a fire, flame retardants prevent the spread of fire, help to extinguish it. They are odorless and therefore harmless to health.

Antiseptics protect against the formation of mold and fungus. Stop the spread of existing mold. Over time, the product is washed out and evaporates, so re-treatment is required. There are bio moisture protective agents that not only protect against fungus, mold, pests, but also give the tree water-repellent qualities and an attractive appearance. They are expensive, but they make it possible to refuse treatment with stain, antiseptic and varnish.

The stain performs antiseptic functions, but at the same time gives the wooden surface a shade. The most popular are stains that give dark shades. This remedy does not create a film on the surface, but penetrates into the pores of the material to a small depth. Stained wood should be varnished, otherwise the surface looks dirty. Drying oil was previously very popular, but in Lately it is being used less and less. The tree quickly darkens, and after 2-3 years the surface becomes sticky. It is used for business premises.

Bleaches are designed to be removed from wooden surfaces dark spots, areas with a blue tint, stripes. There are several types of such funds, differing in application and effectiveness. Usually the product is applied to the surface and washed off after a certain time.

Varnishes are used if you want to preserve the naturalness and texture of wood. Indoor use acrylic varnishes harmless to human health. The first layer is applied transparent, without dyes, and coloring pigments are added to the second. Alkyd varnishes are more used for floors, as they have high strength properties. They are applied to walls in places where high mechanical loads are possible. Wax mixtures can serve as an alternative, which protect the wood and give the surface a semi-gloss shine.

Oil paint penetrates deeply into wood, provides good protection against moisture, and is resistant to mechanical damage. Used for decorative finishing. Disadvantages: low vapor permeability, dries for a long time, loses color over time. Acrylate paint is in many ways superior to the oil counterpart: it dries quickly, does not fade over time, penetrates well into the pores, gives saturated color, has high vapor barrier properties. Does not crack if the panels led from temperature changes. This paint has one drawback - high price.

Technology for applying protection and decorative coatings

A novice builder at the finishing stage has to master new technologies. You need to properly nail the lining, know how and with what to process it, perform decorative trim. The coating of the material with the selected means is carried out in stages. Before processing, prepare the lining.

1. First, it should be cleaned of contaminants with a solution. To do this, dilute soda in warm water. Wash the lining with this solution. If there's old layer paint, for better adhesion, it is desirable to completely remove the previous layer in order to remove cracks and peeling.
2. Inspect the cleaned lining: remove mold, fungus, treat darkened spots with bleach. Finally, the panels should be wiped with a clean rag to completely remove dirt and paint residue. If there are damaged panels, they must be replaced.
3. At the next stage, we perform surface grinding. The operation is performed with a pumice stone or fine-grained sandpaper. So that there are no unpolished places left, divide the entire wall into small areas and deal with them sequentially. Grinding perform evenly, trying not to rub in one place and not to apply great effort.
4. The final step in preparing the lining for applying funds is priming. We apply a layer of primer to the wall with a brush or spray gun. Particular care must be taken to process the seams between the panels. One layer is enough. Sometimes a paint composition is used as a primer.

By itself or with a brush. For painting, prepare two brushes: narrow and medium - with the help of a narrow one, hard-to-reach places are stained. In order for the coating to serve for a long time and be durable, you need to apply 2-3 thin layers. The coloring procedure is as follows:

mix the paint and pour it into a small container;
dip the brush in the paint to half the bristles;
before applying, press the brush to the surface and smoothly guide along the panel;
then the paint is similarly applied in one direction over the entire surface, without affecting the painted areas;
paint corners and openings with a narrow brush.

Start applying the paint from the top so that there are no streaks. To eliminate color differences, apply a layer at a time. If necessary, interrupt work should be left in a place that is not visible. next layer apply after complete drying of the previous one. Finishing layer do minimum thickness, apply light uniform movements top down.

Lacquer is applied in the same way. If the product is tinted, then before applying it should be thoroughly mixed and periodically stirred during operation. We add less coloring pigment to each subsequent layer, in this case the surface after staining will acquire a deeper and more attractive sheen.

Work with the facade of the house always causes a lot of controversy and dilemmas. What is the best way to decorate? What materials are more durable? But such questions do not arise when the facade of the house is covered with clapboard.

The only decision that needs to be made is to choose how to paint the surface.

What is lining: properties and features

Previously, the lining was only wooden crafts that were used for sheathing interior spaces and facade elements of the house: walls, verandas, balconies, baths.

To date, there are several materials from which the lining is made:

Plastic panels.
MDF panels.

Wooden panels.

All of them differ from each other, and not only the price - the main factor of choice, also affects the popularity of the appearance.

Advantageous characteristics of lining

Durability- when caring for the material, it can last more than a dozen years.
Heat and sound insulation- retains heat well and prevents the penetration of extraneous noise into the room.
Aesthetic appearance- looks good in areas where natural materials are used.

The choice of paint and varnish

Now, nevertheless, we will return to the question of how to paint eurolining outside the house and consider everything existing options for surface treatment.

Covering antiseptics

Protect products from UV rays, microorganisms and high humidity.
Absorbed deeply into the composition of the material.

The negative point is the opacity of the tool: the texture of the wood will no longer be visible.

Glazing antiseptics

The transparent composition emphasizes the color shade, highlighting the grain of the wood.
Protects from a mold, decay and an atmospheric precipitation.

Note!
Many antiseptics of this type cannot be used for subsequent painting, so be careful before buying.
Also, most of them cannot be applied to old paint and varnish.

Oil paints

Penetrates deep into wood.
Increase resistance to precipitation and moisture penetration into the material.

There are also negative qualities:

Lose color over time. Matting may occur, which will be noticeable with very bright shades.
Takes a long time to dry: about a few days. If there is strong wind and rain outside, and the facade of the house is not covered, then the painting workflow was in vain.

Advice!
Therefore, before painting the lining outside the house, take care to prepare large sheets of film that can cover the surface from dirt.

Acrylic paints

Retain color much longer than oil.
Over time, even with abundant shrinkage, the houses do not crack.
They are considered the most environmentally friendly of those materials that exist on the market.
Create thick film, which does not allow water to affect the tree.
Protect material from mold and mildew.

Alkyd varnishes

The negative point is the dense composition, which does not allow the wood to breathe.

Yacht varnish

Dries from 3 to 5 hours.
Prevents yellowing of wood.
Increases resistance to water and sudden changes in temperature.

There is no exact answer to the question of what kind of varnish to paint the lining on the walls and facades of the house, since the choice entirely depends on the wishes and capabilities of the buyer.

Facade preparation

Before painting the lining on the facade of the house, several procedures should be carried out that will have a positive effect on the final result.

All dust and various decorative elements: platband, shutters and others.
All infected and heavily contaminated areas are treated with special solutions that prevent the further development of microorganisms.
All cracks, seams, joints of building materials are sealed.
Dry damp wood: if moisture remains, it will adversely affect the facade of the house over time.

If you decide to apply new paint to the old, which is not desirable, you can resort to several methods. The three methods described below will help you how to repaint the lining qualitatively and permanently.

Important!
First check the quality of the old paint, if it falls off in places, then it is better to remove it everywhere.

Prime the surface. Using a primer solution and drying oil, you can achieve good result. Thus, it is easy to level the surface and protect yourself from the appearance of fungal deposits.
Sand the lining so that there is practically no old paint left on its surface.

Degrease the surface with alcohol or a weak solvent, allow to dry and then coat. The easiest way that is useful for utility rooms: the paint will last 3-4 years.

If you are tormented by the question of how to paint a varnished lining, then you can resort to the services special means however, this is a waste of money. Therefore, if you have a limited budget, then it is better to sand and remove the old one. finishing material and apply a new one.

Features of work on painting the facade

The air temperature must be at least 15 degrees, otherwise the protective equipment will interact worse with the surface.
Avoid damp places, it is desirable that the walls are dry. If it rains, the painted part of the facade will be at risk of damage.
Using a roller at . V hard-to-reach places paint the lining with a brush.

The above information helps you decide how to paint the lining in the country and you can easily pick up necessary material v hardware store. Do not forget that for work outside and inside the premises, you can use both the same type of means, and distinguish between them.

This is due to the fact that the means for interior work are the softest and most gentle, and for facade painting use the most "rough" and "persistent".

We process the balcony and loggia

A reasonable question arises, how to paint the lining on the loggia so that it is safe for health and at the same time durable and effective?

The most common answer is scuba diving. They perfectly protect the wood, while maintaining its original appearance. Here are a few options that are in demand among the population.

Eurotex

Contains an antiseptic that protects the tree from biodestruction.
Prevents color loss when exposed to UV rays.
Forms a moisture-repellent coating.
The texture of the wood remains visible, while the wide range of colors allows living quarters where there is a wooden surface.

How beautiful to protect the wall paneling indoors? Use tinted scuba.

Belinka

Prevents mold and fungus, even at the stage when the tree is infected.
Increases the resistance of wood materials to moisture and sunlight.
It has a colorless base that emphasizes the natural colors of the lining. The photo shows an example of using Belinka on a lining.

Durable: without exposure to low temperatures and high humidity, it can last about 10 years.

Now you know not only how you can cover the facade lining, but also how to paint the wooden lining inside the room.

A few last tips:

Be sure to carefully prepare the surface, a lot depends on this.

Use good quality brushes and rollers. The tool is important in the workflow.

Apply paint in 2-3 thin coats. Such a surface will be more reliable than one thick layer, which will also dry for several days.

Do not forget how to move the brush and roller correctly: from top to bottom, smoothly, without sharp jerks.

We hope that we have given a detailed answer whether it is possible to paint the lining with our own hands.

But if some points remained under the question mark, or something seemed incomprehensible to you from the information received, then there is a special video instruction: how to decorate the walls from the lining. It tells in detail and shows how and with what to paint the facade and other surfaces.

If the house is sheathed on the outside with clapboard, then this material, left untreated, will quickly fail under the influence external factors. Improper painting will also not increase its service life. So how to process this cladding outside the house so that it lasts a long time?

Impact of harmful factors

There was a time when only wood was used for lining. But today the choice of materials has expanded.

If the walls of the house are sheathed with wood, they will be more exposed to weather conditions than lining made of metal or plastic. From wooden species it is better to choose coniferous. But they won't last long without treatment. They are influenced by various factors:

Change of humidity, freezing of walls in winter, overheating in summer.
The destruction of wood fibers under the action of ultraviolet radiation.
Influence of microorganisms (fungi) living in the environment.
Mold formation due to improper installation of lining.
Insects, rodents, pests.

If you ignore these points, the cladding of the house will dry out or not hold its shape. To prevent this from happening, it is processed immediately after installation. If this is not possible, then you should think about how to cover the skin after cleaning.

When buying a lining, it is advisable to check it for humidity, which should not exceed 12%.

Preparing for painting

The complexity of painting depends on what surface the paint is applied to. Most often it is necessary to update the old or untreated surface. If you don't take care of proper cleaning material, there will be little sense from such processing. The surface will again become unusable.

The old lining is cleaned of the previous layers of paint, dust, dirt, treated with an antiseptic.

Steps required before painting:

Major repairs need to be made first. If there are damaged strips, replace. Seal cracks and joints.
Then clean the surface: remove dirt, dust. If the lining has been painted, remove the previous layers.
If the old skin is infected with mold or other fungus, the surface is cleaned. And then treated with a special antifungal solution.
In order for the paint to lay down more firmly, the base is degreased with white spirit, gasoline or a detergent in which alkali is present.
The surface is sanded with sandpaper. If the wooden planks have become rough, you can walk with medium sandpaper, followed by fine sandpaper.
The next step is to prime the surface.

The lining is dried before painting.

How to prime the lining before painting

To prevent damage to the tree, it is necessary to choose the right impregnation.

Primers protect the surface of the lining from excessive moisture and penetrate deep into the wood. In summer, it will not dry out, and under the influence of precipitation it will not become damp.

Also, impregnation prevents harmful effects ultraviolet, and when using transparent, emphasizes the natural beauty of the tree.

An opaque primer hides skin defects, and leaves the relief the same.

Types of coloring composition

Pros and cons of oil-based paints

After preparing the surface, the question arises of how to paint the lining outside the house. Usage oil paint- This is a standard, proven method of staining. Their advantages:

do not deteriorate with sudden changes in temperature and moisture;
with proper surface treatment, the coating does not allow the growth of fungi and other microorganisms;
the composition passes air;
penetrating deep into the tree, the paint protects the lining from moisture. This is a major plus, as it allows you to wash the surface without fear.

Despite this number positive properties, oil-based dye has two negative qualities:

Long drying time. It dries in 1-5 days. The surface remains sticky and collects fluff, midges or debris.
Color change that appears on light and dark colors. With this factor in mind, it is better to choose neutral shades.

The choice of oil-based dye allows you to paint without the help of a specialist.

Acrylic paint for outdoor use

It is expensive, but of good quality. It contains watercolor and oil components.

Advantages of acrylic paints:

Durability and wear resistance (does not lose original view 5-10 years).
Drying time - 3-4 days.
The colors are bright and saturated.
Possibility of mixing with each other (any shade is selected).
Non-combustible.
The composition does not penetrate deep into the tree and allows it to breathe.
Easy to apply.
Density allows the use of a spray gun.
The plastic texture of the substance prevents the appearance of cracks.
Repels dirt.
Ease of use.

Among the shortcomings of acrylic compositions stand out:

high price;
instability at sub-zero temperatures;
toxicity.

Before buying paint, it is best to carefully compare prices. The foreign version will cost more than the domestic one.

Facade composition with alkyd base

This paint is based on alkyd resins and modified oils. She dries quickly.

Its main advantages are:

resistance to low temperatures - up to 30 degrees;
fast drying - up to 9 hours;
bright matte or glossy colors;
gradual wear;
moisture protection.

Flaws:

fast fading;
toxicity.

Alkyd-based varnishes

Alkyd-based varnishes and paints have a similar composition, but their characteristics are different. The varnish is based on alkyd resins. But fatty acids and natural vegetable oils. They endow it with new properties:

thorough penetration into the wood;
resistance to temperature and humidity changes;
protection against the appearance of fungal and other infections;
uniform coverage of the base;
glossiness or haze of the film;
color retention up to 10 years.

The only drawback of such a coating is the drying time (1-2 days) and a pungent odor.

Selection of paintwork material

When choosing a coating for lining, it is worth considering the conditions environment, the type of wood and its previous foundation.

You need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

The composition must protect the skin from sudden changes in temperature.
It should not change color when exposed to the sun.
After application, the coating should last 5 years.

But the main thing in painting wood paneling- this is a quality work that will please the eye of the owner and passers-by.

Wooden lining is an excellent finishing material. It is quite durable, beautiful, ensures the preservation of heat by the walls and a neat appearance of the facades from the outside. Modern wooden wall paneling is made from selected wood, so you can provide a truly pleasant look for the walls outside and inside the house.

Coloring - The best way prolong the life of the lining

However, the finish is exposed to many factors, due to which its appearance may deteriorate. Painting and finishing the clapboard strips on the outside of the house is the best way to protect the material and ensure that the building looks consistently great.

Harmful factors

Clapboard - natural material. outside the building top scores durability shows the finish of conifers wood, however, and it is not as durable as plastic or metal. The following negative factors affect wooden lining:

change in humidity, which occurs both during the day and in connection with the change of season;
negative temperature outside the house in winter and heating of the walls by the sun in summer;
ultraviolet radiation, which gradually destroys wood fibers;
various microorganisms, many of which are constantly present in the atmosphere;
fungal infections affecting the tree;
elementary mold, which can form due to improper installation and lack of ventilation;
various pests - from small insects to rodents.

Naturally, over time, the wooden lining outside the house loses moisture, dries out, and can become deformed. Therefore, it would be best if painting and finishing processing is done immediately after its installation is completed.

Types of preparatory work

The ideal option would be if you immediately paint a freshly mounted wooden lining outside the house. But in practice this is rare. There are necessarily factors of time, and sometimes sloppy previous painting. Paint peeling off in tatters, overdried surfaces, areas affected by decay - all this is often present on the outside on the walls of houses where painting was done poorly or not done at all.

The old lining needs to be prepared for painting - remove paint residues, soak with an antiseptic

Therefore, before you start painting, the lining needs to be processed. The work is simple, but quite laborious. You need to carry out the following steps:

Cleaning. The surface is traversed with a brush, if necessary, removal of areas destroyed by decay - with a scraper. All dust and dirt is removed. If there's old paint, it is eliminated with special care. The surface is then washed soda solution a sufficiently high concentration - about 0.3 kg of soda per 10 liters of hot water.
Destroyed sections are replaced by new lining strips.
A separate step is to indicate the fight against existing mold. To do this, there are many special tools on the market that need to process the walls outside the house.
For better adhesion of the paint, you can additionally degrease the surface with detergents containing alkali.
Grinding is in progress. Power tool owners will find the best way to take advantage of what is available. The rest can resort to the help of a simple pumice stone.
The primer with special compounds that prevent the growth of bacteria, fungus and mold can be skipped. However, if you want to get a really durable coating on the outside of the house, it is better to do it. Then it will be easier to paint and the coating will be of the highest quality and resistant.

After carrying out the whole complex of events, you can paint the surfaces or cover them with various compositions. Which option for processing the walls outside the house to choose - everyone decides individually.

Antiseptic impregnations

One of the most modern and functional methods of processing wooden lining outside the house are special impregnations. They have properties to stop the reproduction of bacteria, which prevents rot and the appearance of a blue tint to wood. Additionally, impregnations have the following properties:

The nature of the effect of the composition on wood is not superficial, but volumetric. Impregnations penetrate deep into the lining by several millimeters.
Many compounds guarantee UV protection, which has the most positive effect on the appearance of the lining.
Protection against penetration or excessive loss of moisture is provided, the finish on the outside of the building does not dry out and does not dampen with a large amount of precipitation.

Antiseptic treatment is required

Depending on the type of impregnation chosen, several tasks can be solved. For example:

It is worth painting with transparent or translucent compositions when you want to preserve the original structure and pattern of wood. You can show the natural color or change it towards another, more interesting variety tree. In this way, the natural beauty of the material is better preserved and an artistic effect is achieved.
Opaque coatings, in turn, will completely hide the imperfections of the surface, preserving its relief. This is a great way to paint in a way that better hides obvious broken areas, replaced areas of lining with a different texture, and masks any knots and imperfections.
Impregnations with antiseptic and tinting properties are incredibly effective, but quite expensive. In addition, painting with such means will require more composition due to its absorption into the surface.

Oil based paints

The classic proven method of processing the walls outside the house. Oil paints have the following advantages:

are absorbed into the surface, guaranteeing protection against moisture penetration;
resistant to temperature, humidity changes.

Painting of this type also has some disadvantages, which are often not considered significant, rather belonging to the category of the natural state of things.

The compositions dry out for a very long time - from 8 hours to several days. Therefore, sticking midges and dust pollution are possible. In addition, there is a risk of precipitation and changes in the surface of the paint due to exposure to water.
Over time, the surface of the paint becomes matte, a change in color occurs. This is especially noticeable for the extreme segments - dark and light. color shades.

However, in general, oil-based paints are very functional. They are cheap, do not require special application methods, retain their characteristics for quite a long time, and almost everyone can paint using standard methods.

Oil paints - traditional remedy for coloring

Acrylate based paints

More modern type paint though expensive, but provides some useful features. For example, due to vapor permeability, acrylate paints and varnishes are preferable for “fresh” lining, which is better to lose and absorb moisture. Acrylic paints are distinguished by the following features:

retain a rich color for a long time;
resistant to atmospheric factors;
vapor permeable;
the coating is elastic, so there is less chance of cracking from heat or frost.

Acrylic compositions comply with modern environmental standards, therefore they are suitable both for work outside the house and for painting any surfaces inside the premises.

Effective paints based on acrylate

Alkyd-based varnishes

Although alkyd varnishes have very good user characteristics, they are rarely used. This is due to the need to have experience with them to get a really beautiful and neat surface. If the necessary skills are present, alkyd compounds will provide:

flat and neat surface;
excellent level of protection against moisture;
high strength;
color stability over the years.

The service life of a well-made coating can reach 10 years. But after that, the varnish begins to quickly collapse, and the process of removing it for re-painting is quite time-consuming.
