How to put decorative plaster on the walls. Infinite finishes: Decorative plaster on the walls of interior. The scope of application and the difficulty arising from this

It is quite clear to the desire of many owners of private houses to give their dwelling a completely unique view. To the aid, they come relief plasters, which are made of solutions on different bases and are applied on the surface of walls or special tools, or imaginary, sometimes - completely unexpected items, depending on what effect is planned to be obtained.

Decorative wall plaster with their own hands is an excellent way to stand out on a general background. Before deciding on the choice of the desired drawing and the technique of its reproduction, it is necessary to consider various finishes. After the desired relief is defined, it is desirable to carry out a practical lesson, and plausing it in accordance with the conceived.

Some techniques of work with decorative plaster can be called art, as there are volumetric paintings from it with different plots, which are able to become an exclusive decoration of the wall of the apartment or a country mansion. Experienced masters, applying them, create real works from ordinary plastering, which set the style of the design of the room or the facade.

Decorative stucco - what is it?

For a long time, decorative plaster was used for the walls of the walls, and with a change in interior styles, its plot drawings and relief changed, becoming more complex or, on the contrary, in favor of fashion, simplifying. She did not lose their demand to this day - in our time, with the help of such a technology, finishing both the facade parts of buildings and the inner walls of the room.

The plastering coating is most often used, which in addition to decorative, performs the protective function, not allowing the moisture and dust to penetrate the capital wall.

For indoor walls, finishing with a homogeneous pattern or relief plot panel can be used. Choosing a relief relief to decorate the relief in the form of a picture, you can be sure that it will be guaranteed original, since twice portray in this technique the same drawing is exactly the same - almost unrealistic.

Reliefs applied on the wall typically cover one or more colors of color, which give them a deeper volume. If desired, when the initial color of the decorative plaster is getting tired, it can be easily changed to another. Moreover, this process can be carried out both on a homogeneous coating and on the panel. The paint is applied to the embossed panel with a brush and a sponge, and on a homogeneous surface - using a sprayer or roller.

Decorative plaster can have a deep relief, which is called bas-relief - it protrudes over the surface of the wall at 8 ÷ 15 mm, or to be practically smooth and allocated only by color. Today in construction stores you can find compounds that can already form a relief surface when applied by a conventional spatula, and for some of them special nozzles installed on rollers are used. They are able to mimic the bark of wood, high grass, layered rocks and many other volumetric drawings.

Plastering mixes used to create relief are plastic enough. They are easy to apply on a pre-prepared surface of the walls and convert into various drawings.

Fundamentals of textured plaster technology

Work on decorative plaster walls is carried out in stages, in accordance with the requirements of the developed technology. It includes several stages.

• The first step is determined by the picture that the walls will have to decorate, as well as the tools necessary for its playback. The sample of the relief during operation should be in front of the eyes so that it can be repeated its contours. This is especially important if the scene version of the panel is selected.
• Next, you need to prepare the tools that will be made of plastering composition, applying it on the wall and creating a relief pattern.
• When everything is ready, you can move to the preparation of the walls. This process is carried out almost the same for both facade and walls indoors - it includes cleaning surfaces from old coatings, black alignment, and then their primer. The primer composition is better to choose with antiseptic additives, then the walls will be protected from lesions mold, fungus, moss, etc., as well as from creating nests insects.
• Then a starter leveling layer of plaster is then applied to the prepared, well-dried surface - it will become the basis for the textured finish layer.
• After the starting layer is well succeeded, the wall surface is recommended, once again, to create a higher adhesion between layers of plastering composition.

• The next step, again, after a complete burden of soil, the finish texture plaster is applied, from which the relief is formed. In some of the applied techniques, the upper part of the applied plaster is compared into one plane, and inside the texture recesses that create a homogeneous, but chaotic relief remain.

• When playing some drawings, several layers of decorative plaster are required, and in this case each of them requires good drying.
• Further, if the keler was not added to the plaster mixture, the paint is applied from above the textured layer. If a uniform pattern has been attracted with recesses, then it is best to carry out this process using a spray gun. If it is planned to produce uneven color, then you can apply a sponge for a tinting or a brush. Paint must be applied so that it emphasize the beauty of the relief of the decorative coating. When tinting a panel, paint is applied in several stages to create a visual perception of its depth.

When performing work, you should accurately adhere to step-by-step instructions. Making any changes to the manufacturing technology of the relief may not affect the result of the design. Therefore, it is not necessary to hurry - it is necessary to thoroughly dry each of the layers, observing their order. It is better to immediately prepare for the creation of high-quality relief wall covering, it will take more than one day.

Now, when the general principles of wall design are known by applying decorative embossed plaster on it, it makes sense to consider tools that can be used for these technological operations.

Tools for working with embossed plaster

By placing the wall with decorative plaster and forming a drawing of the relief using it, the following tools use:

• To mix the plastering solution, drill and nozzle-mixer will be required. With their help, you can easily and quickly enough, without much effort to make a mixture of plastic and homogeneous.

• Spatulas of various sizes - these tools can be called the main in working with any plaster, since they cannot do without them when applying any of the layers of finishing.
• Or trusk is also quite common to coating surfaces with plaster solutions.
• Special mitten, which is used both to create relief and for its staining.

• Brush with hard or soft pile, plastic film, rubber gloves, sponge or plastic mesh for washing dishes.
• The use of roller and rubber nozzles to it can be called the most popular way to make the wall embossed. A variety of these devices allows you to choose one of the numerous textures offered by the manufacturer.

In addition, using similar technique, work is faster, and the print on the wall is accurate and aesthetic, however, it is impossible to call exclusive such reliefs. Putting on rollers may have pattern patterns, waves, various curls, geometric forms and others.

Especially impressive reliefs, imitating the texture of the skin or wood bark, as well as other natural materials.

Nozzles can create a factory, located vertically or horizontally, chaotic or perfectly correctly - this factor will depend on the preference of the owner of the departible housing.

Texture plaster expands the possibilities of wall transformation, and the presence of a variety of tools opens the space in creating numerous drawings. It should be noted that the masters professionally engaged in these art, when performing reliefs, completely unexpected tools and household items, for example, wood cutters, blades for carrying out manicure or even ordinary teaspoons are often allowed.

Materials for decorative plaster

In addition to competently selected tools, you need to choose the optimal plastering composition. The range is quite wide, as many famous manufacturers offer special, which make it possible to easily transform facades and houses.

Starting plaster

In addition to the decorative mixture, it is necessary to purchase a starting plaster, with which it will be possible to level the surface of the wall, having prepared it for relief design. For this purpose, it is better to acquire the compositions made on the same basis as the finishing finish, then it is safe to say that a good clutch will be created between the base and external plastering layer. So, for the starting, leveling layer will fit:

• Stitching start on plaster basis. A distinctive feature of this mixture is a short time before the campaign start, so it is necessary to work with it very quickly. If there is no experience to equalize the walls, then it is better to choose a mixture that will give an opportunity for longer work.

• For example, a cement-based solution is perfect for both experienced masters and beginners. It can be bought in the finished form, or make independently from cement and well-sashed sand, taken in the ratio of 1: 3. For plasticity of the self-made mixture, PVA aluminum is often added to it or liquid soap. Thanks to these components, the solution will become softer and at the same time - "lipuple" to the walls, and it will be easy to work with it.
• Sometimes it uses clay for the starting layer, which can also be purchased in the construction store in the already prepared form. Most often, the clay solution is used to shock the wooden surface, but recently the master is still preferred to work more modern materials. Although clay has numerous positive qualities, such as elasticity, good adhesion with the surface, environmental purity, and in addition, it is a "breathable" material.

Decorative plastering compounds

For decorative trim, special compositions of plastering, which are also manufactured on different bases are used. They are intended for a variety of embossed patterns, so some of them are equipped with various additives. On the package, the manufacturer indicates the name of the relief for which this mixture is intended, as a solid crumb of different materials can be used as additives, having a large and small fraction and giving various finishing effects.

The proposed table presents some types of decorative plaster, which are most often used to finish the facade part of the house and walls indoors.

As can be seen from the table presented, the plastering mixtures are made in a dry and pasty state. Ready, diluted to the necessary consistency paste usually will cost somewhat more expensive than dry mixes, but it is much easier to use them, since you do not have to calculate the proportions when mixing.

Plasters, ready for use, can be used immediately after the primer can dry on the prepared wall. Upon completion of the work, the residue of the mixture is closed in the packaging bucket, and during the next step, the paste can be used, because in the closed it can be stored for quite a long time.

If you wish to create plaster your own manufacture, you can take a formulation as the table below:

Primer compounds

Means for the primer of the walls used at the preparatory stage are sold in a paste-like and liquid consistency.

plaster

• To process the wall under the application of the starting layer, it is recommended to use the liquid compositions of deep penetration, including antiseptic additives.

• After grazing the starting plaster, it should also be projected, thereby creating a good basis for the finish decorative layer. For this process, it is best to apply primer having a more thick, closer to pasty, consistency.

Each of the layers applied to the wall must be finally succeeded, and only after that the next one can be applied. Otherwise, the plaster can start cracking or flap from the surface.

Coloring formulations for decorative plaster

Can be applied, or they are painted before starting work. Sometimes the caliber is applied by the manufacturer to the package to the plaster, in other cases the color additives are purchased separately and also entered into the paste or dry mixture before hesitation or application.

Another option for giving the finished decorative plaster of the desired color is its staining with a spray gun, roller or brush. In this case, the composition of white or gray is applied to the wall, and then, after drying it, it is attached to the homogeneous or volumetric staining.

For painting of textured plaster applied to the wall, paints made on a water basis are emulsion and water-dispersive. Such paints are made in various colors, but if you wish, it is possible to give them a shade and independently, by purchasing a separate white "base" and the Koler like. Their mixing is made immediately before applying to the wall, and in this case you can achieve a darker or, on the contrary, a light shade, which will help to give the pattern on the wall volume and depth.

Varnish for decorative plaster

For textured plasters having a shallow relief or relatively smooth surface structure, a varnish or wax protective decorative coating is usually used.

Lucky can be matte or glossy, and are able to significantly enrich the color of wall decorations. Thanks to even one layer of lacquer coating, the plaster will maintain its initial look much longer.

In some cases, to achieve the desired effect of varnish, it is better to apply to the surface of the wall in several layers. For example, if the imitation of the grinding stone or crocodile leather is reproduced on the wall.

The wax is most often used as a protective agent for Venetian plaster, which can purchase a matte or even a mirror glitter after applying it. The wax does not smell and is an environmentally friendly material. It is able to protect the walls of the walls from dust and yellowing, and besides this - it creates a water-repellent layer, and at the same time has good vapor permeability, that is, the walls do not lose the opportunity to "breathe". Thanks to such qualities, the wax coating can be applied in residential rooms and indoors with high humidity.

The wax is made in a colorless version and retains the color of decorative plaster in the original condition. In addition, it can be melted with metal pigments or pearl additives. For example, wax "CERA", presented in the illustration, is produced in three color versions - it is a colorless, silver and gold, which allows you to enrich the decorative finish with a pleasant soft otlblecom.

Painting ribbon.

In some finishing works, do not do without the use of painting tape. It is used to protect nearby surfaces when working on one of them, as well as in cases where different textured or color drawings must be divided. The tape is easy to glue on any surface and removed, without leaving traces. It has a low price, so in any case, stroking all the materials necessary for finishing, it is necessary to purchase it as auxiliary means.

Buying any finish materials, it is very important to pay attention to the clarification of the manufacturer, which is placed on the package - for what works they are intended, internal or external. Many compounds for external use are well suited for finishing walls of premises, but materials for internal use when applied to the facade for a long time, alas will not serve.

Preparation of surfaces of walls

Now, understanding how to choose the material, and what tools will be needed for work, you can proceed to the consideration of the process of preparing the walls under the application of plaster solutions.

Preliminary preparation of wall surfaces

To get a quality result, it is very important to clean the wall from the old coatings well, with such actions are performed both on the outer walls and internal. It is necessary to remove the old wallpapers, paint or bliss, otherwise the starting layer of the plaster will be insufficient adhesion with the surface.

The main measures for the preparation of wall surfaces are shown in the table below:

Illustration
	Removing the walls of the old layer of plaster. This process is especially important to carry out very carefully if the old decorative coating began to peel from the overhaul. If you need to remove a thin plaster layer, then for this purpose you can use a grinding machine or a building grater with coarse-grained gear paper installed on it.
	In the event that walls are plated by wallpaper, the old canvases must also be deleted. Typically, the glued old wallpaper is moisturized using a spray gun, and this process is produced several times, since the canvases should get into the walls. After that, the finishing material is removed using a spatula.
	Another option for cleaning walls from wallpaper is an excrement. For this purpose, a special tool is used or a steam iron, and besides this, an air humidifier can be applied, which is directed towards the wall that needs to be cleaned from wallpaper.
	If the wall is painted, then the paint layer is also to be cleaned, otherwise the plaster layer simply will not fall on the wall. The removal of paint is made using a scraper, with the softening of the old paint with a hot flux from the construction dryer. You can apply an abrasive method using a grinding machine with an iron brush or an extension with an abrasive nozzle.
	After the old decorative coating is removed from the walls of the walls, the leveling plaster layer will open or simply the capital concrete base itself. On concrete, the recesses and irregularities are often detected, which will have to be aligned by applying a spacion layer.
	If there is a good quality plaster, not separated from the capital wall, then it can not be considered. In this case, on the surface of the wall with an ax or chisel, notches are made in a depth of 5 ÷ 7 mm. They will be needed to ensure a better adhesion of the leveling starting layer with the wall. However, they often cost them without them, using modern primers like "concrete contact", which provide excellent adhesion applied plastering compositions.
	However, quite often the situation is such that the old plaster has to be removed completely, as it crumbs and unreliable is kept on the surface. This flaw can be discovered when applying notches, since when attacking in some areas of the wall, the plaster layer can "bone", and even just fall off. If the layer is separated on the large section of the wall, it is best to remove the old coating completely - the process, as they say, has already gone, and no one can guarantee that the remaining areas will hold stable.
	After the old plaster layer is removed, serious damage in the form of deep cracks can be detected on the wall. They must be neglected, otherwise they will turn on new plaster layers over time, and work will be spoiled.
	Detected cracks are expanded, that is, they are wider and deeper. Then they are cleaned and processed by primer deep penetration. Their filling is carried out by plastic repairs. Special repair solutions are presented on sale, and a conventional starting putty can be used for internal works. The repair solution should fill the entire volume of the separated crack, to the entire depth or width. If a wide crack is found, then it can be filled with a small foam with a slight expansion. Her surplus, which protruded outside the material is frozen, cuts the flush with the wall. In some cases, to strengthen the crack and in order to avoid its manifestation through new finishing layers, a reinforcing sulfage grid is pasted on a putty solution.
	After repairing "patches" dry on cracks, they must be cleaned with a construction grater with an abrasive grid installed on it first, and then sandpaper.
	The next step of the wall is covered with primer antiseptic composition of deep penetration. If the first layer of primer is absorbed into the surface of the wall without a trace, then another or even two layers of primer are applied. The primer composition will penetrate the pores of the plaster or wall material, will strengthen its surface and create good conditions for the clutch of materials. The solution can be applied with a roller or a wide brush. Each subsequent layer is applied only after complete grazing of the previous one.

On the primed and dried wall, plaster works can be produced.

Application of the basic leveling layer of plaster

The next important stage is plaster works that finally prepare the surface to further apply decorative plaster. Alignment is carried out according to the primed and well-dried wall.

Methods of plaster leveling of surfaces can be somewhat different - depending on the material of the wall and surface quality. But the total technology is still general, and more about it - in the table below:

llycation	Brief description of the operation
	If when checking the wall with the help level, it was found that it requires capital alignment, then lighthouses made from special metal profiles are displayed on the surface on the surface. They are fixed on a wall in a step of 1000 ÷ 1200 mm, controlling vertically and horizontally using a construction level and a long rule. The fastening of these profiles is made using a cement solution with the addition of gypsum or only a gypsum mixture, since this material is quickly settled and will not delay the execution of subsequent work. Between the slides of the solution on which the beacon profiles are attached, withstand the distance of about 400 ÷ 500 mm.
	Having exhibit beacons, you can move to the mixing of the plastering solution. It must be homogeneous, without harsh inclusions, otherwise it will be problematic to align it to the ideal, since voids that weaken the coating can form about large rigid fractions. Before applying the solution, the wall can be slightly moistened by sprinkling it from the sprayer or brush. The next step on the surface is thrown into a thick layer of plastic solution, which should be above the beacons by 30 ÷ 50 mm. Excessive solution will be removed by the rules when leveling plaster.
	Next, the wet solution applied to the wall is equalized by the rule, moved by the guide-beacons. Work begins with the bottom of the wall - the rule, not in a hurry, climbs up, while they move lightly from the side to the side to better distribute the solution in space between beacons. At the same time, the rule is assembled by an excessive plastering mixture, which can continue to be used to apply to the adjacent sections of the wall.
	Watching the surface, it should be left for 2 ÷ 3 days to set. At the same time, the wall is recommended to periodically spray with water to obtain a greater strength of the applied layer. Further, still wet plaster rubbing, throwing cement milk on it. These works are carried out with the help of plaster cells or grout, which is mesmerized to the wall and circular motions counterclockwise drag the surface, making it smooth. The dried surface is left to a complete burden, which depends on the thickness of the layer and can take from 5 to 15 days.
	The dried plastered wall should be well primed using a paste-like thick primer, which is applied using a roller. Inaccessible sections of the wall are processed by a narrow brush. The primer, made on a water basis, dries quite quickly, so very often after 2 ÷ 3 hours the ability to move to the next stage of work appears.
	If we are talking about internal work, so that the result of the wall finishing turned out to be high-quality, the aligning plaster layer is recommended to apply thin, at 1.5 ÷ 2.0 mm, layer of plastering on a plaster basis. It will make the surface smooth, correcting all the shortcomings of the base layer. The plaster is applied by metal culma or a wide spatula, producing semicircular movements. At the same time, it is necessary to remember that the gypsum mixture is rapidly grasped and hardened, therefore it is impossible to impose a large amount of solution, since "revive" its addition to the addition of water will not succeed. It should be noted that as this starting layer, the decorative plaster can also use a ready-made mixture on a cement basis, or one of the common plaqua compositions. After driving this layer, it must be primed.

Decorative Plaster - Application and Coloring

When all leveling layers are dried, and the wall will be fully prepared, one can move to the finishing stage of the work - applying a decorative plastering layer.

Several popular ways of applying relief

This is perhaps the most interesting creative process, upon completion of which the wall will acquire a completely updated look. For such a stage, a decorative paste-like plaster mass is used or a dry mixture that is kneaded alone, just like the base solution, that is, using a mixer installed on an electric drill.

In any case, the mass should be plastic and homogeneous, if, of course, such a coating is not chosen as "cored" or "lamb", which has in its composition additives from stone crumb. But even with this solution, solid fractions should host in a plastic mass completely evenly.

Illustration	Brief description of the operation
	Venetian plaster can have a different pattern of relief, but it is always shallow and chaotic. However, sometimes it is a background for clear geometric or vegetable drawings. Decorative plaster is applied with a metal or rubber spatula with thin layers, the number of which can be from 5 to 8. Despite such a considerable number of layers, the total thickness of the plaster, made in this technique, is only 3 ÷ 4 mm.
	To reproduce the Venetian plaster, the already fastened composition is most often used, otherwise it will be after the completion of its application and drying, to make staining, and in this case the part of the intended effect will be lost. The desired effect of the "silk" surface is achieved by the presence of several layers of the same color, and each of them is applied and rubbed in different directions. Thanks to such a technique, strokes that differ in the direction give a different reflection of the light on the wall. Thus, the surface is spinning with silk gloss. In some cases, to create an effect of a deeper spatial volume, translucent from the inside, takes several color shades close to each other.
	Each of the plastering layers imposed by smears is smoothed, but this process is made by tangent movements with an application of certain efforts. For each of the layers, professional masters use spatulas and cells differing in thickness and width, creating a multilayer chaotic embossed pattern from a solution. With this plaster technology, you can simulate the structure of the pattern of different finishing stones on the wall. To enhance the effect of imitation, after completion of the work on the application of plaster, waiting for its burden, the surface is grinning with wax or cover with matte varnish.
	More accessible for non-professional variant of embossed plaster. The composition is applied using a conventional spatula into one or more layers, each of which should be succeeded. Each layer relief can be smoothed, or its protruding fragments are left in its original form. The smoothing of the solution is carried out with the help of metal celma, neat touches. With the help of such equipment, you can create different reliefs, and their shape and direction will depend on the creative moods of the wizard.
	If it is assumed to create a relief having the right smooth forms and lines, you can use to reproduce a toothed spatula (Kelma), usually used for applying glue when finishing the surfaces with ceramic tiles, or a special comb.
	This kind of relief drawing will be easy to reproduce the master who first picked up a plaster tool. The first step using a conventional wide spatula on the wall layer of plaster mortar is applied, and it is not necessary that it is perfectly smooth. It is then an relief in the form of semicircles, lines of chess location or other drawings that can be invent independently.
	Another relief option available in reproduction for any creative person is an impression from a conventional polyethylene film on a wet plaster applied to the wall. In this case, the fantasy can also be not limited, since the film can be applied in the deployment or twisted in the roller, and simply jumping it chaotically. In addition, you can come up with your own version of the application of this material, since, seeking the desired pattern, with a solution and a film can be safely experimenting.
	When removing the film, after it was pressed to a wet plaster, it will inevitably pull the solution, and as a result, peculiar embossed protrusions are formed, which can be smoothed with a spatula or cell. Applying this method of creating decorative plaster, you can use a tinted solution, or to paint it after the wall is dry after applying the relief.
	Pretty popular for the design of both the inner and outer surfaces of the walls is such a factory figure like "Coroed". For this purpose, a special composition of plaster, which includes rigid stone fractions in size of 1.5 ÷ 3 mm. This solution is applied using a metal celma, and it can be distributed on the surface in a different direction, depending on which relief is intended to get. Rigid fractions when applying plaster leave the furrows, imitating surface damage by insects. These in-depth bands can be arranged vertically, horizontally, diagonally, in the form of a semicircle or whole circles - the direction of the relief pattern will depend on the preference of the wizard and the intended design.
	The frequently used tool for applying the relief is a roller, leaving a factory pattern on the wall surface. This method of recreating volume can be used by any owner of the housing, even never previously engaged in plastering. It is enough to buy a roller with the relief like that on its rubber nozzle and leave the output on the fresh solution applied to the wall. The choice of nozzles is so great that they can be chosen on any, even the most sophisticated taste. If you wish, you can make the nozzle on the roller and independently using for this segment of the foam rubber, the coarse rope, polyethylene film, fur, a deep-relief fabric or other materials that are able to leave on a wet plaster.
	If on the walls it is planned to create a correct vegetable pattern, in the form of grass and leaves of different shapes and size, then the roller with such a pattern will have to be purchased in the finished form. Work on the design of the walls in such a technique passes rather quickly, since there will be no failures in the process - the plaster mixture is applied to the surface, and while it remains moist, it takes place with a roller that leaves the selected pattern on the surface.
	And this is an easy way that does not require special costs of purchasing a tool to reproduce the relief. For the finishing process, a conventional flat brush with a soft or rigid pile is used, depending on how clear the drawing is planned to be obtained. The relief is recreated by the same principle as when using a spatula with a toothed comb - according to a fresh plastering solution applied to the wall.
	Another decorative plaster technique, which is not performed along the entire surface of the wall, but only in its separate areas. The background for him can serve as one of the above-described types of shallow relief. Panels are usually made from a plaster mortar. The composition is applied slides on the laid wall area in the drawing and left to dry. After drying into the course, cutting tools are going - it can be a knife, cutters of different shapes and a spatula - with their help the desired forms are created. In addition to the incisors, elaborate paper with small and medium grain, which is boosted by the cut-made volumetric patterns. In order not to spoil the wall, it is recommended to experiment, creating a small panel or individual parts on a plywood sheet. Just make sure that everything turns out, you can proceed to reproduction of a planned relief pattern on the wall.

In addition to those listed above, there are other items that can serve to create embossed patterns on the surface of the wall. Not only professional tools, but also tools or even fragments of plants, such as the leaves of trees, or branches of various thicknesses are widely used for this purpose.

Coloring decorative plaster

As mentioned above, in construction stores you can buy a color decorative plaster, but it is much more difficult to work with it, since all the complex needs to be played in one color. Therefore, the white plaster mixture is most often selected, which, after final grazing, is covered with selected shades, which significantly expands the creative possibilities of a home master.

In addition to applying color to the finished relief wall, there is another technique for creating a color surface. In this embodiment, a certain color is added to the white plaster, and then the relief on the wall is made from the material of different shades. This is a rather complicated technique, and a professional artist or a person who has the appropriate talent can cope with it. Therefore, the most optimal option remains staining of the finished relief.

Usually for staining of decorative plaster, water-based paints are used, in which the desired color is added. Recommended, picking up the color, to make it on one or two tones darker, because when drying paint - it will light up.

Illustration	Brief description of the operation
	The most used reception when applied to the embossed plaster color color is a coating with a light tone, selected shade. Such staining will become uniting for the whole composition. The paint is applied to the entire plane with a roller, pre-pressing it on the ribbed surface of the painting tray. If the relief has a depth of more than 5 mm, then for its toning, a roller with a long pile is used, or especially deep fragments are tinted with a soft brush.
	The first paint layer is applied in one approach, otherwise the painting will be uneven. Therefore, if the paint is toned independently, it must be mounted so much so that it is enough for the first layer for all walls in the room or at least for one wall, but necessarily for its entire area. This is especially important if the surfaces are stained with one color without additional shades and divorces. Staining is carried out in different ways, depending on the depth of the relief and the desired end result.
	One of the options for uneven dyeing - it is performed using a sponge. Then, another wet painted surface passes with a soft cloth or a dry sponge, barely touching the protruding elements of the relief. This technique of execution is aimed at strengthening the "depth of space" the relief not only with the help of volume, but also using the color game.
	This method of finishing decoration consists of two stages - staining and stripping of the protruding elements of the relief of the emery paper. The first step is the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe walls is painted with a common color - this process can be carried out using a roller or spacing. The second stage is made after the paint is completely dry. A small-ceiling sandpaper is installed on the construction grater, after which this tool is passed through the protruding parts of the relief. In this way, the paint is removed from the surface or brightened, thereby showing a volumetric pattern. If desired, the purified surfaces can be covered close by tone to the main color of paint, darker or lighter, depending on which effect you need to get. Usually the light shade is chosen, as it visually increases the volume of the relief.
	Relief panel can be done only to the experienced master, but it is possible to paint and independently. However, it is necessary to consider that this process is quite complicated and durable, as it will have to produce thin brushes, so work will take quite a lot of time. The finished relief panel of plaster is recommended to cover with primer, dry, and only then proceed to the painting. You should not take clean bright colors, as they will not be viewed relief. Therefore, they are diluted to the state of shades of the selected color or add a certain amount of their white paint.
	In this embodiment of decorative plaster, two colors are used - one main, and the second is auxiliary, which will highlight the drawing of the relief. Works are carried out in two stages. First, the entire surface is covered with one, basic color. This process can be carried out with a roller, a wide brush or a pulverizer. Then this layer must be well succeeded. The second stage is to apply with tangent movements to the protruding parts of the paint relief using a soft brush, a foam sponge or a mittens on hand. The paint should be sufficiently thick, and the brush or sponge is dry.

The final stage of work on the decorative plaster is to cover the walls with varnish or wax. This process must be taken carefully, since, applying the final layer carelessly, you can spoil all the work.

In conclusion I would like to say that if the experience in performing decorative plastering is small or absent at all, it is not recommended to choose too complex design techniques. In the same case, when a specific pattern was chosen and a decision was made by anything to reproduce it on the wall, it should be carefully examined by the instructions and practicing on a small section of the wall or plywood shield.

"Versailles Plaster": Available to each technology - step by step

In the final section, the design of the wall of the so-called "Versaille Plaster" will be considered as an example. In the proposed finishing technology, instead of plastering composition, two types of putty are used - starting and finishing, which allows you to save a decent amount on the finish. In addition, the advantage of this method of the original decorative wall decoration is that it can be done even to a novice master. The main thing is to purchase high-quality material and use them correctly.

In addition to two types of putty, to obtain the desired result, the Quartz-Soil will need for applying a decorative cladding on the wall, which creates increased adhesion between materials, and also does not allow putty to dry overly. The presence of this material is a prerequisite for the design of the wall for such technology.

So that the plaster layer is aesthetic, you need to purchase two more components, without which the proper effect fails.

This, firstly, the decorative coloring coating of the "ADAGIO SILVER" type is on an acrylic binder containing small metal particles of various shapes. It gives a very interesting overflowing effect, giving the wall of silk appearance.

Secondly, the so-called glitter is used, consisting of the smallest particles of a polyester film of different forms. This component is also added to one of the layers of decorative wall decoration.

Illustration	Brief description of the operation
	The first step is mixed with a model mass consisting of a starting and finishing putty in proportion of 1: 1. Alsystem occurs as follows: In turn, part of the start and part of the finish putty, then the sequence is repeated, and so until the desired amount of dry mixture is covered. If necessary, some water is added to the bucket, and then the mass is mixed using the mixer nozzle. Next, the finished solution is left 10 ÷ 12 minutes - this time is necessary in order for it "dose". After this time, the mass is again mixed up to a homogeneous state. It should be very well proteishaned and have a consistency of medium density, that is, not very liquid, and not thick.
	The finished putty composition is applied to the prepared, aligned, processed "quartz-ground" and the dried surface of the wall. If the mass is not applied not from the ceiling, but below, on a blank line on the wall, it is recommended that it is recommended to stick the greasy tape first, which will help to leave the top of the wall and retains the smooth upper border of the decorative finish. Work starts from the upper line. First of all, the putty mixture is distributed along the painting tape.
	The applied layer must have a thickness of 2 ÷ 3 mm. Special attention should be paid to filling the joints of the planes, for example, if the putty will be applied from the ceiling line. The mixture is superimposed on the wall with a cylma, a relatively smooth layer. This work can also be performed with a spatula that has a width of 300 ÷ 350 mm. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the finishes can not be particularly trying, moving the solution to perfect smoothness, the main thing is that the material layer has the same thickness throughout the wall plane and was flat enough. The greater the putty layer, the easier it will see the flaw flaws in the drawing.
	The smooth facing layer is applied to a height of 1000 ÷ 1500 mm from the top down the wall. Then a relief pattern is formed on a wet putty. To do this, the plastic square is used with a pointed in front of the plate - it resembles an iron in shape. The work begins on the corners or the upper line of the wall. The master produces wave-like movements, stretching the mass, at the same time creating a chaotic drawing in the form of bands that are in different directions. With the help of the cell, the mass as it would be lifted above the surface, creating a larger volume of decorative coating and leaving the grooves of different widths, most often ranged to the surface diagonal. The convenience of creating a relief is similar to the fact that the drawing applied to the solution can always be corrected if he does not like the master.
	Having worked out the first putty putty, and reaching about the middle of the wall in height, produce the manufacture of the next portion of the solution. During this time, the mass applied to the wall will already have time to grab. Therefore, many masters have the problem of uniting the plastered area of \u200b\u200bthe wall with the already seized solution and fresh, which has just been involved in the mass, which will be applied below. The junction between the two areas of the wall should be completely noticeable.
	To ensure that the union passed neatly, and it became completely not noticeable, the fresh solution is applied to the wave on the already applied layer by 150 ÷ \u200b\u200b200 mm, and then the total layer is smoothed. This process must be made through the entire line of combining two zones - upper and lower.
	The lines of the allen need to smooth out well, and then apply a common embossed pattern on it.
	The design of the relief begins with the area where the drawing has already been applied. It turns out that it seems to be "picking up" to the celma and extend to the exactly applied spacing layer along its entire length.
	Combining the two wall areas, it is important to ensure that there are no deep dents or pronounced stripes from the Kelma on it. Such defects need to be sworn and give these areas a common relief, since in these zones they will be particularly noticeable. By producing work on the unifying line, it is recommended to move aside and inspect the area of \u200b\u200bwork from afar. So it is possible to more clearly determine the shortcomings and immediately fix them.
	Then, the model mass is applied to the entire bottom of the wall with a smooth layer, and the relief is formed in it, in just the same way. When the wall is completely covered with this primary layer of putty with a dealt with a terrain, it is left for full bite for two days.
	When the wall is dry, along its surface, a spatula is passing, which must be cleaned with the protruding sharp edges of the embossed strips, as they must be rounded.
	Then, the entire surface is treated with a construction grater, with emery paper installed on it. Grout is carried out with a slight pressure, circular motions counterclockwise.
	After processing, a relief surface with smoothed protruding edges of the picture should be obtained. An additional surface check, that is, its smoothness, you can produce, spending your palm on it. If untreated areas are found, scratching palm, then this flaw should be fixed immediately. The treated surface must be carefully cleaned from putty dust - this process is performed using a soft wide brush or brush.
	The next step is the surface treatment with a primer composition of deep penetration. The soil is applied with a roller with a pile nozzle. The composition must be well distributed over the wall, collecting all the flows formed. This layer will dry 1.5 ÷ 2 hours.
	Next, it takes a white paint on a water basis, a keler is added to it, a selected shade (in this case, the wizard applied a beige dye), and the mass is well mixed to a homogeneous state. The paint should be applied easily and not be too thick, so if necessary, the solution is divorced to the desired consistency with water. Relatively liquid paint composition when applied to the wall will become translucent, which in the complex with other layers of different shades will create the illusion of space.
	The paint is primarily applied to the edge of the wall with the help of a brush, and then the main part of the surface is tinted with a roller with a pile nozzle. It well distributes the mass along the embossed surface, filling the paint all the deepening of the pattern, and when the composition is rawped, collects its surplus. As a result, the surface should be neat and smoothly painted, not having inclusions. After the entire surface is covered with a tinting composition, it is left until complete burials. Water-based paint applied by a thin layer will dry around two hours.
	Further, the composition made from ordinary primer and "silver" - dye "ADAGIO SILVER" is applied to the surface with a foam roller. The mixture is prepared in proportion of 1: 1, that is, in this case, the master took 250 × 250 grams of these materials. The resulting mixture should have a sufficiently thick consistency and do not give inclusions at all. A mass on the wall is applied without push, so that only the top protruding elements of the relief is covered. Deepends to be stained with this composition should not.
	The mixture is neatly rolled over the entire wall of the wall, highlighting the relief.
	Next, you will need to prepare the finishing composition, which transforms the wall surface is beyond recognition. It consists of a water-based varnish and a small amount of glitter. Varnish is diluted with water, in proportions about 1: 3, and mix well. The additive of water is necessary in order to the surface of the wall, after its coating it was not formed a rigid uneven glossy crust.
	A small amount of glytter is added to the varnish, about a tablespoon of 0.5 liter composition. Then the solution is thoroughly mixed with intensive shaking. Before you begin shaking, the capacitance cover with the composition you need to close tightly.
	Further, the finished lacquer is applied to the embossed plaster using a foam roller and is well distributed on the wall surface. After completing this stage of work, the finish can be considered complete. It remains only to wait for the muzzle of the wall surface, and then remove the larger tape limiting wall.
	On the last illustration, the result of this sufficiently long-term work on the design of the wall is presented. But, agree, the technology is not so complicated, and the resulting finish looks very original.

Decorative plaster is a building material that is used to finish internal surfaces in rooms, and in some cases outdoor. Applying decorative plaster is one of the few operations that can be carried out without a specialist intervention. The fact is that the modern building market offers a huge number of different tools that greatly facilitate the finish process.

In addition, it has now disappeared to buy separate ingredients for mixtures and prepare them manually - everything is sold in stores in the form of ready-made viscous solutions or dry compositions. It remains only to choose the correct materials and tools, as well as learn some features of applying decorative plaster with their own hands.

Choosing materials and tools

To choose the right plaster, it is necessary to determine the desired effect from it, the temperature regime and humidity of the rooms in which the coating will be applied. It is recommended to describe the seller in detail to get exactly what you need.

When choosing materials for preparatory work, remember that with strong irregularities on surfaces it may be necessary to start the starting putty, and in particularly launched cases - plasterboard sheets. It should also be clarified in advance about the characteristics of the flavor, since some of them are brighten or darken after drying. The primer is better to choose deep-rotating to ensure the maximum durable contact of plaster and surface.

From the tools will be required:

• kelma, wide and narrow spatulas (preferably to buy rubber, and metal);
• terks and Halfury - for leveling the solution and imparting the surface of the texture;
• painting rollers (you can do foamoons, but it's better to buy texture);
• malka with teeth for the formation of the relief;
• painting brushes for moving and creating shallow reliefs;
• stencils;
• to apply the Venetian plaster, it is better to purchase a special shovel - it is also called "Venetian".

Preparatory work

Before applying decorative plaster, it is necessary to carry out the following actions:

• Remove the old coating from the walls or ceiling.
• Extract any fasteners and trim fragments of reinforcements that are distinguished from the wall.
• Align the surfaces with putty, after drying it to handle the walls with sandpaper or grinding to remove the irregularities of the walls with their own hands.
• At the end, it is necessary to process the surfaces of the primer twice with the interval of 3-4 hours.

You can only apply decorative plaster on a thoroughly prepared surface: it must be aligned and projected

Features of work with decorative plaster

The technology of applying decorative plasters has the following nuances:

1. When working with a liquid, already diluted plaster, it should be noted that it often falls from the cell or spatula, so the floors are better noted with a polyethylene film.
2. If materials of a large fraction were used for the manufacture of the mixture, then it can be applied only by hand.
3. The technology of applying decorative plaster, which was prepared from fillers of various fractions, is quite complex, so standard compositions are recommended for domestic masters.
4. Finishing materials that are diluted with water differ in greater environmentally friendly than plaster on synthetic substances. At the same time, the "water" compositions are more susceptible to temperature and mechanical effects.

Decorative plaster can be sold at a finished form or in the form of a dry mix that requires water dilution

There are some more nuances, which is important to remember when carrying out work:

• Decorative plaster dries faster on cellular concrete or starting plaster.
• When processing wooden surfaces or walls from plywood and child, it is important to remember that water-based compositions can deform them.
• If there are defects on the treated surface, then decorative material will be required more.
• In order to avoid corrosion, it should not use the "aquatic" plaster for finishing surfaces with metal elements.
• Most of the decorative plasters are grabbed for a maximum of 5 hours, dry out in 1-2 days, and the strength set lasts not more than 9 days.

Step-by-step instructions for finishing

Before starting work, all surfaces that are in close proximity from the area should be launched. Starting the application is necessary from one corner to the opposite - from top to bottom.

Decorative Plaster Application Technique:

• The first layer. The strength and life of the entire coverage depends on its correctness. For this, the material is typed to the spatula and stretch the thin layer. Typically, plastering of this kind dried very quickly, so it is recommended to visually smash the wall on the zones and process them alternately. After applying, you should wait for about 5 hours to dry the surface.

Application of the first layer of plaster

• Second layer. It is applied by Celma with arcuate movements or chaotic in different directions. It is important to stretch the solution over the entire surface so that no spaces remain left. After completing the work, you need to leave the surface to dry about a day.
• Finish layer. It is applied with small strokes on the site of the wall with an area of \u200b\u200bno more than 1 square meter. After processing and leveling the surface, you need to take a celma and "pass" to the tool throughout the wall, tightly pressing it. It is necessary to do it before the appearance of a metal shine.

Creating texture

After complete drying of the composition you need to handle the wall with wax or varnish to increase the operational indicators of the coating.

It's important to know! During the finishing work, it is necessary to follow the cleanliness of the instrument and rinse it with water as often as possible. It is also not recommended to prepare a large amount of solution at a time (this is especially true of plaster plasters), since it can dry in the tank.

Various options for applying decorative plaster

Methods for applying decorative plaster to achieve various effects:

Creating a decorative effect with girlfriend

You can apply decorative plaster with your own hands and without special tools, while getting a great result as a result. Most often use the usual sponge, which "wet" fresh solution to get a textural coating. Various furrows and notches can be made by any sharp object, including a knife, fork or even a simple pencil. It is possible to artificially form a surface, scoring into the spuffed solution. Fresh solution is also stretched over the wall with a brush to simultaneously fill all the spaces and give the surface to the texture.

Create a relief pattern on decorative plaster can be using a conventional dining force

Original ideas for wall decoration plaster

Apply decorative plaster on the walls - it means not to simply align the surface, but also to show a fantasy. Using simple tools, you can create a truly original interior.

Use brush

This application method implies the use of fine-grained plaster. First, the walls are prepared as described above. After that, the starting layer is applied. After grappling it, you need to take a brush with rigid bristles and moisten it in water. With this tool, you can create the following texture elements:

Malyary Valik

Is it possible to apply decorative plaster with such a tool - the answer is yes. This all familiar tool can also be used to apply decorative plaster with their own hands. Depending on the type of nozzle of this tool, you can get different textures:

Rollers to create a decorative effect

• Rubber rollers are used to create bulk textures, externally resembling natural drawings, such as the surface of the leaves or the skin reptile.
• Poropolone with various embossed patterns are used to draw abstract embossed coatings.
• Fur nozzles are excellent for creating a "fur coat" texture.

This decorative wall plaster needs subsequent staining, in most cases the first layer is used to remove surface defects, and the second is decorative. It is applied to any dry brush, either chosen.

Stucco finishing with stencils

The use of these items is simple, but at the same time an original and effective way to create various textural surfaces for decorating the premises. They can be used with the materials of any type. But if we are talking about small areas, then the plaster is decorative fine-grained.

The first thing the walls are prepared, after which the starting layer is applied. It can be plaster made in any style: from specially used surfaces to conventional ornaments. A layer of paint is applied to the finished layer, which should distinguish from it for several tones. After a complete drying of the first layer on the wall, stencil is applied, after which the finishing layer of plaster is applied over it, which is subsequently covered with wax.

Create a volumetric pattern of decorative plaster can be easily using special stencils.

Using stamps

This technique requires certain skills, so it is recommended to first work out a bit on the "draft". First apply the base layer with a thickness of no more than 3 mm. The solution for this layer is initially painted with a color, it is also allowed to apply the paint after completing the procedure. After that, they apply a second layer with a thickness of about 1 mm. To do this, use a more liquid plaster with a saturated color. At the end, the surface is posed by a special rubber tool. As a result, layers are mixed, forming a rather interesting texture for walls.

An excellent option for creating an unusual and unique texture will be the use of stamps

The plaster with your own hands is simultaneously simple, but the procedure-demanding details, therefore, before decorative plaster, apply onto the wall or other surface, you must examine the instructions above and the manufacturers recommendations.

Decorative plaster: types and methods of application

Initially, plaster solutions were used exclusively for alignment of walls under staining or finishing with wallpaper.

Decorative plaster appeared at the moment when a person came to mind to abandon the finish finish and give the plaster her decorative qualities - color and texture.

So from the technical field of the plaster passed into the sphere of high art, since the final type of surface began to determine the fantasy of the wizard.

It is very convenient that the decoration of walls with decorative plaster does not require a thorough leveling of the surface and its putty "under painting".

The bulk texture smoothes small irregularities, significantly simplifying work. Color pigment eliminates the need to perform a time-consuming staining operation.

Returning to technical terminology, it must be said that any decorative plaster is a mixture of binder, dye, filler and water. Depending on the type of adhesive base and the size of the filler granules, we get one or another type of decorative plaster.

In order to understand the incredible variety of decorative plasters and choose from them the most convenient for self-applying, consider the classifying features of this material.

Classification of decorative plasters

Plaster for decorative finishing is made in the form of a dry mix and finished paste. The first must be kneaded before starting work and fully generate until the time of setting. It is not necessary to interfere with the paste-shaped mass before use, and its shelf life reaches 2 years.

Depending on the binding basis, the following main types of decorative plaster are distinguished:

It is the basis of the acrylic resin - synthetic polymer. This finish is for sale in the finished form, packed in a plastic bucket. When buying, it is necessary to check the shelf life. Overdue material should not be purchased because it loses its adhesive qualities.

The advantage of acrylic plaster is the high elasticity and ability to firmly curl with mineral materials. Due to this, acrylic compositions without cracks are withstanding a small deformation of the base.

The main disadvantage is the ease of ignition. Therefore, it should not be used to finish the surfaces of wood.

Acrylic plasters are commonly used for interior decoration. They are easy to apply and easily agree on structuring.

Before working with such a plaster, you need to prepare the surface by performing a two-time priming. An acrylic mixture is applied by a stainless spatula, and the texture is created manually or using the filler purchased separately.

Mineral

Its base is cement, plaster or lime. Mineral decorative plaster is sold in a dry state and before starting work is mixed with water in a certain proportion. This decorative plaster is usually used to finish brick, drywall or concrete bases. Before applying the solution, the surface is treated with a special primer containing quartz sand.

Mineral decorative finishes are characterized by high strength, vapor permeability and moisture resistance. All of them have one base color - white, so before use they require the composure procedure.

To improve decorative qualities in mineral plaster, a marble crumb and sequins are added. This type of finish is suitable for both interiors and the facade part of the buildings. The main disadvantage of mineral compositions is low plasticity, leading to the formation of microcracks.

Silicone

Adhesive base of this plaster are silicone resins. This is a relatively new form of a finishing mixture with high elasticity and moisture resistance. Silicone decorative decoration is well "breathing", thereby conducive to the preservation of the optimal humidity regime in the room.

The good news for the consumer is the property of self-purification of this plaster when applied to the outer walls of the building. Under the action of atmospheric precipitation from its surface, water-soluble contamination is removed. The number of color shades in silicone plaster can be rightfully called a record (more than 6000).

The service life of this plaster reaches 25 years. This is explained by the fact that it does not give crack and has a high adhesion to the surface. The disadvantage can be called a high cost of silicone finish and the need to use expensive primer.

Silicate

The binding basis serves "liquid" potash glass. Silicate decorative plaster is sold in finished form. It is characterized by the high strength of the layer, excellent adhesion with the surface, elasticity and durability. Color range is very limited.

Working with silicate plaster requires accuracy and skill, as liquid glass is hard enough.

Classification according to the formation of a picture

1. The pattern on the surface is applied with a "mapping method" using a broom, relief roller, special brushes or brushes.

2. Plasters with large granules of mineral filler. After applying the applied layer on the wall, the applied mass is smoothed with a spatula or ironing. As a result of the movement of grains on the wall, a deep drawing appears.

The most famous example of such plaster is the finishing composition of the "Coroed".

3. Textory plasters applied by air spraying, spatula or roller, they are recreated using ironing and do not require subsequent processing.

The intellectual is the popular Venetian plaster. Its main advantage is the effect of the inner glow, achieved through the use of natural marble dust and a protective layer of transparent wax.

By labor intensity, it is considered one of the most difficult, since it requires a very dense application of 3-4 decorative layers.

Manufacturers and estimated prices

Manufacturers of decorative finishing compositions that guarantee high and stable quality of their products are relatively few. These include the company Ceresit (Ceresit), Knauf (Knauf), Wetonite (Vetonit), Kaparol (Caparol), Baumit (Baumit) and Weber (Weber).

The cost of mineral decorative plaster, depending on the manufacturer and the region, the sale can be from 550 to 900 rubles per 25-kilogram bag. The average consumption is 2.5-4 kg per 1m2.

The price of silicate finishing composition is in the range from 1100 to 2800 rubles. For a standard bag weighing 25 kg. Its flow rate ranges from 1.5 to 4 kg per 1m2 and depends on the size of the pellets of the filler.

The cost of acrylic plaster is from 1300 to 2600 rubles. (bag 25 kg) at a time per square meter from 1.5 (with a small quartz filler) to 3.5 kg (large granules).

For 1m2 silicone decorative trim, you will have to give from 2,200 to 3600 rubles. Its consumption ranges from 2.5 to 3.9 kg per 1m2 surface.

Methods of application

The main thing that attracts the customers of the decorative plaster is the possibility of exclusive design of surfaces, since technology and techniques of drawing is very much. We will consider how to apply decorative plaster with your own hands using simple techniques and technology.

A total operation for all finishing works is to prepare the surface. If you react to this work without proper diligence, then no one, even the highest quality and expensive material on the wall will hold.

Under the decorative plaster, except Venetian, does not need the ideal alignment of the walls, but carefully remove the old finish, dust and close the cracks must be necessary. After that, the wall is twice the composition that is specified in the instructions for your plaster.

At hand there must be such a tool:

• Spatulas of different sizes
• Plastic grater
• Steel ironing
• Capacity for water and solutions
• Roller (for textured plaster)

If you do not use the finished pasty plaster, first carefully examine the instructions on the package to get the necessary consistency.

It is necessary to knead the solution without a stock, with the calculation of full working. Otherwise, you will have to throw a climbing mixture.

Newbies Applying decorative plaster is better to start with a test on a sheet of drywall and only after that you can move to wall decoration.

A stucco solution is applied to the spatula so that the new smear overlap the old one by 5-6 mm. After the composition thickens a little and lose the wet gloss (15-20 minutes), they pass through the wet ironing. It is necessary to do this without a strong pressure, carefully giving the surface selected pattern and texture. The smooth iron must be cleaned periodically, perched in water tank.

Newbies should not begin finishing with the use of complex decoration techniques. It is enough to gently apply plaster in the form of wide smears, waves, crossing lines or circles. A curly roller will greatly facilitate work, with which a clear and beautiful pattern is created without much effort.

Working with decorative solution requires maximum speed, since the concerning layer will dry pretty quickly. Special attention should be paid to the docking of neighboring sites to avoid irregularities and drops.

Having mastered the simple methods of application, you can gradually move to more complex decor technologies.

Finishing at home with your own hands: Applying decorative plaster

There are many ways to make decorative plaster so that the apartment looks stylish, individually and modern. The richest choice of imported and domestic blends with various additives gives the designer the ability to imitate and the skin of reptiles, and silk fabrics, and different types of finishing stone.

Some methods of applying decorative plaster with their own hands are so easy to perform that even a person who has the most general ideas about working with similar mixtures can be available.

What stages are the finishing process?

Regardless which technique for applying decorative plaster will be used for the design of the room, the whole process is divided into several main parts. Each stage is important to obtain an ideal result at the end of the repair, so it is necessary to treat work very responsibly.

When conducting decorative finishes, the following steps are performed:

1. Before working with decorative plaster, the walls should be aligned. Putty under the compositions with a fine-grained structure (liquid wallpaper, Venetian plaster, etc.) need painstaking, destroying the slightest potholes and irregularities. Under the textured mixtures with large inclusions (coroede, rain, travertine, etc.) and under the plaster with a relief surface (leather, versal, flower, etc.) you can perform the usual alignment of the finish gypsum putty.
2. Application of primer compositions strengthens the leveling layer and increases the adhesion of the decorative mixture. This makes the coating durable and resistant to external factors.
3. Working with decorative plaster consists of 1-3 independent steps. It depends on the selected technology. In some cases, you need to apply the base layer, dry it and only then make the texture. Sometimes it is necessary to impose 2 textured layers to create the effect of the volume and transparency of the decorative coating. In the simplest variants, the plaster solution is applied only 1 time, and then decorate it.
4. Lesservation is the giving the finished surface of smoothness and gloss. For this stage, varnishes or special wax are used. Sometimes the surface is stained before the lesser, glitters are added, silvering or gilding is performed.

After the coating with varnish or wax, the walls acquire moisture-resistant properties. But some types of decorative plaster (gypsum putty, venetian, liquid wallpaper) are not suitable for use in wet rooms even after applying a protective coating. Cement-based formulations can also be used to finish bathrooms or bathrooms with any embodiment of the textured coating.

What will required for work?

The main thing that allows you to create amazing variants of the walls of the walls, is a plastering mixture. Depending on the brand and manufacturer, it may contain large or smallest inclusions: marble crumb and powder, quartz sand of various fractions, silk fibers, sequins, gold grains. Thus, the texture of the finished coating can be the most different.

Binders that make it possible to form a solid thin layer of plaster and keep it on the wall, less numerous. Most species of textured mixtures are made on the basis of plaster or lime, white cement is used for external work and wet premises. One of the modern materials for the base of the decorative plaster mix - acrylic. In addition to binders, additional additives for plasticization of the solution can also be included.

Choose textured plaster in your home is simple enough. It is advisable to know the name of the equipment that will be used when finished. Consultants of trade organizations will help to choose a dry or ready-made mixture in a suitable price range. The simplest types of finishes can be performed using conventional plaster powder.

Choosing a decorative texture plaster in the store, you need to take care of the acquisition of a working tool. May be needed:

• construction spatula, metallic;
• trowel;
• sandpaper;
• paint rollers (with a pile and porolone);
• vallets textured (if necessary);
• brush small size.

If you want the wall covering to be color, you need to purchase and a kel for decorative plaster. All mixtures are available without coloring and when applied white. In the construction store you need to purchase and soil, and varnishes or wax. To simulate the skin reptile, special stamps or taps on the roller will be required.

To decorate the surface, you can use the most common materials. To create a beautiful texture, you can use wetabber and polyethylene, foam sponge and round plastic washcloth for dishes, a thick rope or cord. The decor can be applied even with their own hands, dressed in rubber gloves.

How to make a wipe coating from putty?

Among the diversity of decorative plaster, species and methods of application of which are different depending on the desired effect, the simplest options can be considered the textures of plaster powder. Affordable material allows you to imitate the finishing stone and the skin, create a relief pattern of any degree of complexity. It is better to use finish mixtures to work, but in some cases you can connect them with starts in the ratio of 1: 1. We mix the solution by adding a dry mass into water according to the manufacturer's instructions.

To create a base for an aligned and covered with a primer wall, you need to put a thin layer of putty. Coating thickness for embossed plaster - 2-5 mm. Work should be started from below, long strokes stretching the solution along the wall. By covering a putty small area (1-2 m²), put the relief, without waiting for the mixture setting.

The simplest working tool is a cloth made into a plastic film, "will create a decorative floral surface of the coating. For cutting, you need to press the tool to the surface and the brush of the hands to produce a rotational movement, taking off the polyethylene from the plaster. It turns out a complex spiral curl, lifting over the overall level. Posing the same prints chaotically or in an arbitrarily selected order, you need to cover the entire square with relief patterns similar to roses or peonies.

Repeat the process at the next segment of the wall. When connecting the edges of the squares, it is necessary to make a small backrest (5 cm) on the already decorated surface. When applying the texture of the junction will be naturally disguised. When the whole wall will be plastered and finished, she needs to be grabbed within 24 hours.

It is necessary to cover the wall with a layer of paint (acrylic, water-emulsion), thoroughly rolling it with a roller. Give dry 2-3 hours. After that, a metal spatula is to polish the surface, smoothing too much protruding peaks remaining on the coating. In this case, part of the paint is removed, exposing a light base layer. As a result, a floral pattern appears on the wall brighter.

Puttleship textures

As an options for technology, a wavy pattern from lines left on crude plaster with their own fingers can be performed. The use of round plastic washcloth will leave ring-shaped traces, and a sponge with large holes will form a surface resembling chaccit skin. The relief can be applied with a roller on which the cord is wound. In this case, the wall remains on the wall, similar to the intertwing stems of grass.

To simulate the skin reptile use purchased stamps or taps on the roller. The pattern under crocodile skin or snakecake is completely simple, but after drying the plaster it will have to dangle to highlight the drawing depth. The layers of paint should differ slightly on the shade, and the upper will have to apply very carefully, trying to draw only the protruding parts of the "scales". In addition, you can add gilding or glitters, applying them with fragments using a soft sponge.

How do Versailles plaster?

The luxury of Palace halls of Paris can be accessible even to a novice master. The technology of applying decorative plaster "Versailles" is very easy to perform. For these purposes, it is used by conventional plaster powder, mixing starting and finishing gras 1: 1.

Prepared by the wall covered with soil and let him dry. Step-by-step master class for applying decorative plaster with their own hands looks like this:

1. Pail on the wall solution, performing short chaotic strokes. The layer of plaster can be about 3 mm. It is better to start from the corners and joints of the wall and the ceiling or floor, and then cover the free space on a plot of 1-2 m². The basis can be slightly aligned.
2. Greater Kielma or Ironelick to apply relief with wave-like movements, the entire plane of the tool. When moving the cell and its separation, chaotic divorces will turn out. Turning to the next site, to make a nest on the finished plaster, and for the continuity of the drawing a little stretched the solution on the existing one. When purchasing the skill, the master will be able to see himself where the pattern needs to be corrected.
3. Dry the wall for about 2 days.
4. Put the metal spatula on the surface, slightly pressing the tool. When polished, sharp parts of the relief are removed, the texture becomes more even. Finally polished medium emery skurt.
5. Remove dust and brew the wall with a composition suitable for acrylic paints.
6. To paint the entire surface with a roller with an average pile, trying not to leave bright places. Dry for several hours.
7. Dilute powder for gilding or silver in acrylic varnish or primer. The composition is applied by a foam roller. Gilding should be applied only on the convex parts, so the tool needs to roll well before work. After driving this layer, put lacquer with the additive of the glytter to give a special shine and moisture protection.

Wall trimmed in this way can withstand wet cleaning with a soft cloth.

Decorative limestone from putty

A variant of Versailles technology can be called imitation of limestone plates. To perform finishing after applying the base layer, wet plaster must be made to form numerous small peaks. Make it, pressing the cell with the entire plane to the model mass, and then tearing it perpendicular to the wall. Without waiting for the collapse of the composition, you need to smooth out the peaks, leaving the texture in the depths of the depression and the recess.

The plastic composition allows you to remake unsuccessful areas. The ugly piece can be smoothed, make new peaks and recycle their tops again. The application of texture is creative activity in which the correct can be considered what Master likes.

The dried wall is manually painted, rubbing the acrylic paint with a sponge, coated in the desired shade. The dye will be darker in recesses and lighter - on the surface. It is possible to strengthen the effect using the composition of a lighter shade applied only to convex sections.

How to work with textured plasters?

To this type of mixtures include those that have in their composition of the inclusion of different fractions. The effect of the binder with solid grains of marble or quartz is based on the decorativeness of such technician such as a core or rain.

From a fine-grained mixture, you can make a very beautiful texture - Grotto. For its manufacture, a ready-made plastering paste with a marble or dolomitic fraction fraction is about 1-2 mm and a bit of a venetian mixture for applying a decorative layer. Lesseing such a coating is best for special wax, which gives the decor transparency and light glitter of polished stone.

In the technology of decorative plaster, the process of grotto is nothing inaccessible. The algorithm of action is as follows:

1. On the projected wall, apply a pre-painted paste for textured plaster. The layer must be very subtle, in the thickness of the filler fraction. When you hit it, it is necessary to stretch the celma very well.
2. After drying the wall during the day, apply 2 layers. To do this, there are some amount of model mass on the cell. Cressing the tool to the surface, make peculiar islands from the protruding particles of the mixture. Their location can be chaotic, in the right places you can add a little paste. Turning must be performed by small sections, not allowing the mixture to rehash.
3. A wide spatula or Kelma to block protruding sites to form smooth islands. When smoothing, you need to slightly press the tool. Movements must be performed in different directions, waving.
4. Seeing the surface for 5 minutes and smooth out once again with a wide cell or ironing. Polishing should be produced until the convex sections get light gloss.
5. Using the roller, apply a thin layer of the Venetian mixture (1 mm). The tool in front of the plaster you need to roll well so that the surplus of the solution does not fall into the removal of the pattern. The shade of this layer may differ slightly from the color of the textured surface.
6. Slightly dry the slim top layer and polish it with a smooth or celma to the gloss.
7. Dry the wall during the day and go to the lesser. Wax to distribute the sponge, rubbing it into the recess. 5-15 minutes after applying the substance, it is polished with a dry cloth. I need to rub the wall with circular movements, without taking the wind from the surface and moving it into different directions.

The resulting coating resembles a polished quartzite or granite, depending on the painting of the plaster paste.

If it is for the coating to choose a paste with a filling of a larger fraction, then you can simulate the travertine. Ghotto technology option is characterized by painting. After the 2 layer of model mass is laid and aligned, the wall is eliminated by culma to shine. If the paste is painted, then a thin layer of acrylic paint is brighter to the protruding parts are applied. With a white mass you can do the way as indicated for plaster for limestone.

The thickness of the finished decorative coating, according to the standards of builders, should not exceed 6 mm. But thin layers of textured mass or relief surfaces acquire their charm due to tinted and polishing, applying varnish or wax. The creative approach in the manufacture of textured coating always brings its fruits, and the finish, made neatly and with the soul, will always be successful.

Application of decorative plaster: types and methods, application technology

Decorative Stucco Technology

Applying decorative plaster is not more difficult to work with ordinary mortar finishes. Sometimes easier. But the price per square meter of their creation comes to several thousand rubles.

This is due to the concerns of developers: they believe that this is a complex process that requires significant experience, knowledge. Order work to professional craftsmen, let and overpay for square meters. m. - seemingly faithful way out.

But in practice, the complexity of the incarnation depends on the characteristics of the mixture, the order of work and the type of imitation. You just need to calculate consumption, buy a ready-made mixture and get savings to several. thousand for m2!

The cost of the textured mixture is high. Therefore, it does not align defects. This is done by usual (lime, gypsum, cement-sand) mortar.

After complete drying, it covers 1-2 layers of primer.

Further actions depend on the composition of "decorative". In addition, there are different methods for applying decorative plaster.

Thin single-layer coatings.

Mimic the finish with tissues (including silk).

Formulations applied to perfectly smooth prepared surfaces. Their thickness is minimal, and the consistency is comparable to coarse paint.

Here it is advisable to apply decorative plaster with a brush, which is working vertically or horizontally, depending on the desired pattern. Sometimes, to obtain a special effect, the brush turn, acting it as a circular.

Solutions consist of a polymer binder and fine filler (quartz sand, glass, metal pigment).

Rough coating of one color. It is painted by adding a caloring paste into a solution or roller after thorough drying.

Even if the developer does not represent the way, how to apply decorative plaster with your own hands, it can always separate the wall "coat". The easiest texture.

To create it, the solution of sour cream-like consistency is pounce. River with a wide spatula or Steel Hacker, trying to make a layer of the finest.

Then, without waiting for the mass of mass, the worker fragment is "miss" with textured material. For example, a piece of artificial fur, a brush.

When the surface is driving, it can be covered with a protective composition - a construction wax or acrylic varnish.

Venetian plaster.

Mimically, the valuable stone - malachite, lags, marble, granite. And also construction - travertine, sandstone, limestone.

The methods of applying decorative Venetian plaster are diverse. They allow you to imitate the stone unprocessed and polished.

Polished imitation.

Resting stone of valuable rocks (most often marble) decorative plaster. The technology of its application is simple, although frightened newbies.

Applied by a spatula. The task of the master is to repeat the natural pattern of stone, peculiar "divorces" and "influx", veins. Heads such a coating is noble and expensive. In practice, learn how to make walls under granite and marble is not difficult:

1. Preparation. The wall is perfectly aligned, dried and covered with primer.
2. Preparation of mixes according to instructions.
3. Tinting. The plastering mixture is painted at the cooking stage. To do this, dry pigment, liquid or pastoral spikes are added to the solution.

For imitation marble, 3-4 colors are necessary. For example, white, gray, t. Gray and almost black.

Mixtures of different colors and shades are prepared in different tanks.

1. Application. The little spatula is applied to the solution on a large. Use all colors - bright more, dark less. Apply the mixture at the same time, but not mixing.

Since it is more complicated to apply decorative plaster in such a way, another technology has entered the use. At first, the solution is "smeared" in the form of diagonal lines of the primary color, then minor. In some places there are minor inserts of the most dark or bright color. This method of applying decorative plaster is easier, but slower.

1. Alignment. Moistheld steel cell solution align, rub.
2. Polishing. The cream imitation is covered with primer and lacquer. If you wish to get a glossy brilliance of grinding stone, the surface is covered with wax, which is polished. In this case, the varnish is not needed.

The wax coating creates a water-repellent film. Such walls can be washed.

Relief Venetian.

Wall with pattern, texture and relief of roughly treated stone. Not stone masonry, but a solid stone block, which are in artificial rocking grumps.

One of the most simple in applying, but spectacular finishes.

How to apply decorative plaster for raw stone.

Application is as follows:

1. Preparation. Imitation of the coarse cliff is convenient because it does not require so thorough preparation. "Wild" stone is not smooth, grungy. Therefore, it makes no sense to perfectly "smooth out", level the surface. To apply the finish, it suffices to eliminate the differences more than 1 cm.

For any finishes, the preparation of acrylic primer is required. This allows you to increase the clutch of the surface with subsequent layers. As well as saturates the pores, not allowing them to dehydrate the finishing solutions.

1. Applying the first layer. It is riveted with a sprinkle on the wall, roll up with a semier, grater or cielma.

While the mixture did not dry, it creates a kind of "fur coat" using a peer material (felt, felt, sponge, piece of fur, fabric, polyethylene).

1. Applying the second layer. After completely drying the first layer, the spatula is applied the second. The solution is placed not skylight, and stains, striving for a harmonious balance between consecrations and depressions.

Features of perception depend on the inserts area: their dominance will create a stone texture with small potholes. If there is more the area of \u200b\u200bthe "vanished" first layer, the wall will be "dressed" by the bulbs.

1. Leveling. The second layer is aligned with raw to hide the tracks of the instrument and "land" the relief, make it flatter.

The nature of the drawing depends on the direction of the instrument. To understand which layer of plaster can be applied to the wall for the selected type of imitation and determine the appropriate texture, you need to experiment on a piece of plasterboard.

1. First coloring It is produced only after the complete drying of the solution.
2. Second coloring. If the stone is monochrome, you can not re-color. But it is worth it in mind that the second tone greatly enriches the relief, makes it more attractive, plausible.

The paint is applied with a roller so that only convex surfaces were painted.

The use of lescing (very liquid, strongly diluted) colorful compositions allows coloring only once. First, it is applied by a construction mitten, a piece of sponge. Then, not allowing to dry and absorb them, wipe.

The rough surfaces of the first layer remain darker, saturated. The second layer, its convex, aligned part, smoother. Such surfaces are easier wiping. Therefore, the paint here will be thinner, more transparent, lighter.

1. Protective composition. Plaster protect with wax, which is polished or polymer varnish.

It is important to choose the combination of colors. They can either complement each other (paints of one color, but different tones), or contrast.

Venetian and refined looks like "Venetian", in the coloring of which is used metallized kel.

Stucco, imitating destroyed by the larvae of the beetle-grinder wood.

One of the easiest to implement.

How to apply decorative plaster "Coroed".

Special mixtures with marble filler are used to create a coating. This solution can be prepared independently. It is enough to add marble granules to the usual mixture. It is advisable to use stinking, round pebbles.

Application of decorative plaster is made by the usual attachment. When aligning the layer is grated, pebbles are fond of the tool, rolled down, leaving deep furrows.

When creating the coating, it is important to monitor the direction of the tool movements. This affects the structure of the drawing, its directionality.

"Coroed" is a decorative plaster, and the technology of its application is designed for decoration, and not aligning chipping, slopes and cracks.

"Coroed" does not require additional grinding wax.

"Kameshkoy" coatings.

Polymer plaster - compositions are not on plaster, lime or cement, but on the polymer binder. Because of the special textures, they are called mosaic. The most common acrylic, less - silicone (they are more expensive).

The "Kameshkoy" coatings included marble or glass crumb. Used as a shapeless stone and a spherical one. Do not need painting, protection.

How to apply decorative plaster with marble filler.

Stuccoings with marble filler are applied minimal thickness (in 1-1.5 grains). Therefore, their alignment is not difficult.

"Kameshkoy" plaster - texture finish. They do not align the walls. Therefore, the surface should already be prepared - smooth, clean, dry, durable.

Relief prints.

Planes can be given a bulk relief of brick or masonry, roughly treated wood.

Since we apply a relief decorative plaster with your own hands (using stamps) - a simple way, such coatings are of particular popularity.

For this, special molds are available (print).

Decoration is done like this:

1. Applying a solution. The plastering is thrown onto the wall so that a layer of sufficient thickness is created (depends on the depth of the form).
2. Ottis The stamp is very moistened with water and pressed to the plastered area.

Pressing is accompanied by light movements (left-right) minor amplitude, tapping the edge of the palm.

The form is removed, and the drawing is pressed on the next, adjacent fragment.

One print can be used in two versions, if rotated at an angle of 180 gr.

1. Coloring. Color plaster only after complete drying and primer.

For the first, the total layer is applied to the paint of the middle tone. Then emphasize the relief of the darker paint, laid in deep depressions and notches.

The protruding parts of the relief "pass" the brightest tone.

1. Protection. Concrete may not be defended. Gypsum is covered with moisture-resistant varnish.

Molds are quite expensive and pay off only when using construction teams. Therefore, it is easier to make them alone, using silicone or polypropylene sealant, silicone compound or granulated injection polypropylene.

It is worth keeping in mind that cement-sand plaster is better suited for outside the room, the gypsum is not so rack. But for plastering reliefs within more than the gypsum, because less heat coupling (more pleasant, "warmer" to the touch).

Inexperienced workers do not know which layer of decorative plaster can be applied at once on the wall, so they fear to use deep-relief forms. However, such concerns should not be treated with reliefs - here thick layers are not solid, their mass does not affect the coating fortress.

How to apply stucco on the walls.

Any mortar finish requires surface preparation: cleaning from old coatings, alignment. The surface should be clean, dry, smooth.

The most convenient way of applying.

The simplest application of decorative plaster for beginners - spray. The solution is diluted to a "liquid" consistency. Work lead the medium width with a spatula, the mass is placed on falcon.

"Spraying" a small section of the wall (approx. 1 sq. M.), Stucco are aligned with Hacker.

Wooden graters and halfrships are better not to use, as wood is constantly deformed by water. Frames and traces of screws fixing the handles of a wooden tool.

Is it possible to apply plaster compressor?

Many manufacturers provide plaster with a compressor and produce special mixtures. However, it is not necessary to dilute the solution, which is not provided by the mechanized method. From this he weakens greatly.

Is it possible to apply decorative plaster on the old plaster?

From whether it is possible to apply decorative plaster on the plaster old, the choice of the composition of the plaster mixture, order and scope of work depends.

• What can I? Apply plaster for more strong foundations. For example, plaster compositions can be placed cement coatings.
• Polymer compositions can be applied on any surface.
• You can stucify the "decoratives" of plasterboard.
• What is impossible? It is impossible to throw cement formulations on plaster - it will not be kept.
• You can not plaster crude walls (from paint, wallpaper).
• Cannot decorate cracks.

The main rule is It is impossible to violate the manufacturer's recommendations. If the terms of the instructions are not suitable, it is better to choose another mixture.

Technology of applying decorative plaster, all about plaster, its species and features

Many beginner builders have a question: is it possible to apply decorative plaster on the plaster? It is worth paying attention to this issue, as this is primarily a financial issue, and then the question of beauty. If you master well the technique, you can save on costs.

You can finely cope with this work, not referring to the specialists. It is worth considering:

1. What is decorative plaster?
2. How to apply it?
3. What instruments need?

Is it possible to apply decorative plaster on the surface of the main - the features of the material

Under the decorative plaster implies weight. It is used to arrange different types of surface. Since she has an attractive appearance, it wears the name decorative. After all, when it is applied to the wall, it looks pretty aesthetic.

In order to start plaster walls, two types of materials will be required. To the first species should be attributed.

For more information about the decorative textured plaster, watch the video:

To another type of materials includes structural plaster.

It is worth noting that in the composition of the material already there is a coloring substance. However, after tough and polymerization occurred, the wall needs additional coloring. And sometimes it is enough just to toned.

An even more beautiful surface will look, if you treat it with metallic and pearlescent pigments.

Structural spacure

And what can be said about the structural putty. They are less plastic than textured, when working should also be considered. Thanks to the mineral granules that they contain, and the texture is formed. Including a large role is played by quartz, marble, granite and other. The relief is achieved due to the fact that the grains are located or on the surface itself or inside it.

In specialized stores you can find several more types of materials. Including fibers, plaster software, as well as almost transparent mixtures for plaster. Use them less often than previous ones. Therefore, we will not talk about them.

In principle, there are other types of materials on the market - fibrous products, translucent plastering mixtures, etc. However, they are used quite rarely, therefore it will be more expedient to give the focus of more common finishing techniques. Let's talk about how to apply decorative plaster on plaster.

Required tool

First of all, it is important to decide which tool will need to be plaster. Interestingly, in some cases one spatula can be used. However, if we are talking about fast work, then it will not work. This option is suitable only in the case when a specialist took the case.

Without a workshop, you can not do. In order to work successfully, it is important to use the following tool:

• specially for kneading work - the capacity of large volume;
• for direct work - a small capacity;
• a drill having a nozzle mixer;
• for coating seashers;
• celma;
• from plastic and metal grater;
• different sizes of the spatula;
• having hard pile, flat-shaped brushes (one of them McList);
• sponge of a rigid structure;
• roller having a drawing to create relief on the walls.

In the course of work, you may need more tools, but for starters enough and these. The main thing to purchase everything in advance is not to be distracted from work. About the decorative panels under the brick, for the interior trim, find out.

Preparation of walls

We prepare the foundation for a strong future decorative composition. It is worth remembering that it is quite possible to apply decorative plaster on plaster. The only question is how correctly the preparation of walls is performed. Let's talk more about stages of working with plaster.

The first thing we proceed to, we remove all unnecessary on the ground. When you approached the plastering layer, then make sure it does not fall off. Each case is individual and stands to solve himself, to remove the plaster completely.

How to determine what is better in your case?

Take a heavy hammer and start tapping the entire surface. Determine whether the material begins to turn or remain in place. Also identify possible empties using a characteristic sound.. If all this is not, you can safely apply decorative plaster on the old plaster.

Now it is important to determine which condition is the surface. Remit, whether there are cracks, slots or any other defect. Using the composition of cement, or, fill in all these voids. When you have already applied the repair mixture for polymerization, drive all the walls with a penetrating agent.

For this it will take about two layers of primer, but not less. Before applying the next layer, stop and wait about 5 hours that the material is completely dry.

After these steps, the first primer layer is applied to the walls. The thickness of this plaster should be 20 mm. Thanks to this approach, the base will be reliable, and the whole surface is smooth. It is important that any big differences are eliminated. In some cases instead of basic shuttering, applying putty.

At the same time, when the material dry it does not grind it, because adhesion will decrease. This concerns the processing of the hypin. And what can be said about different types of walls? How are plaster apply on them? Wood and the material that is created with its use is distinguished by hygroscopicity. There will tell about the price of putting the walls under the wallpaper.

During work, the putty can begin to grind on the basis and deform. Also, the mode of drying the plaster will be broken. Therefore, if you decide to handle wooden walls, then use the primer in which there are moisture-protecting components.

If the surface is coarse (plastic or plywood), then use rough abrasive. After all, without this, the plaster will start to crawl off her. And what can be said about the metal elements that you will meet when repairing? If you use a decorative composition for processing, then over time there will be spots from rust.

What to do? Use an anti-corrosion coating and you will avoid unpleasant moments.

Varieties of structural compositions

Consider spray "fur coats". We defined that it is suitable for the basis of plaster for the scenery, but now it is important to determine which finish technology we will use. As for structural coatings, they rather easier to apply them than others. It is worth starting with them.

"Shuba" is one of the types of decorative coatings. He is quite popular, and based on cement-sandy solution. We mix all 1 to 3. That is, on 1 part of the cement we put about 3 parts of the sand. Now we apply all on the walls with splashes.

There is a special plastering machine that facilitates the process of applying plaster. After all, its work is based on the fact that the resulting pressure begins to throw away the solution. At the same time, the mixture flies to the walls and the necessary relief occurs on them.

What to do when you have no car and nowhere to take it? Then the simple broom is suitable. To do this, take the right hand and begin to omit into the solution. Take the amount of means you need, but a little. When the broom is brought closer to the surface, it is necessary for them to hit the stick (they were kept in the other hand). Also read how to make a dry floor screed with your own hands.

An interesting technique is interesting. Use the brush. To do this, you need to take a long pile. Put a few solution on it. Now spend the board on it. Show effort and move it to yourself. When the bristles are straightened, the solution will fall on the surface in the desired small quantity.

In now, that you can apply - a metal grid placed on a wooden frame. For this design is attached to the wall and aligns. Pressed with bricks. Now with a cell solution, the solution is attacked on the surface. Remove the grid and then eliminate possible defects.

With the brush, lay the wall.

Use mineral granules

Apply such formulations is quite simple. Among them, the "Coroed" became one of the popular. This type of plaster look looks like wood, which is damaged by insects. Apply the composition is easy and not difficult. For this, it is necessary to prepare in advance and align with the help of the composition of the plaster walls.

We apply on them a decorative mixture. In this case, the grater will need. The angle of its holding is about 60 towards the wall. It is not necessary to make a layer applied thicker than the biggest grain in the composition. This is important to stick. When you have already applied a mixture, then dry the wall. On the consumption of putty Knauf on 1 m2 will tell.

And only as you noticed that the hands stopped sticking to the surface, you can start decorative plaster. We take the grater from plastics and put it on the wall completely. I press a little and move further.

When the movement occurs, the grains begin to move and at the same time leave on the walls of a furrow.So the beautiful drawing occurs. This is not finished about this. It is important after final work (drying and processing) to paint the surface with the help of pigments on acrylic.

Features of textured plaster

This type of surface is somewhat different from the previous one. Than? It is important that the person who is doing this has a certain skill in his business. After all, the processing technique does not quite affect the result. Relief in this case looks like painting or sculpture.

Therefore, if you decide to take advantage of this option, then practice in advance to understand how best to behave with the specified material. Initially, it is important to apply the main layers. Of course, the work is applied to the aligned surface. The base of the first layer has a thickness of a couple of millimeters.

This will ensure adhesion. This is a background for future design. It is worth paying attention to one detail. Since the material is applied to a small layer, it is important to paint it in advance to the color you need. To do this, pigment is introduced into the plaster for applying and mix it.

It is necessary to thoroughly dry the foundation before the state while the tools no longer leave the traces when they append a little to the surface. Now it is necessary to use a spatula to the surface of several smears.

Take a very little mixture, especially if you are just starting work.

The thickness of the layer of application should be thin - about 3 mm. And at the end this thickness of half a millionth. How you send the strokes will affect the fact that you will get. If this is "Venetian" finish, then direct them in chaotic order. But if it's "rain", then make diagonal movements and apply the markup at first.

Alternative to spatulas and graves you can apply brushes. Then we apply to the base of the fatty plaster and begin to ram it with the help of a grater. In the end, it is necessary to handle everything with a hard brush. Thanks to the footsteps that remain from the bristles, an interesting relief will be on the wall.

You can apply another interesting technique. Using polyethylene film. Special tricks do not need. Polyethylene is glued on the pre-applied 2-millimeter layer. It should have a lot of folds. We are waiting until the material is dried.

After a couple of hours, the film is removed and the unusual relief drawing is obtained. However, there is advice. It is not necessary to dramatically remove the film, because the coating will be damaged in this case. But do not stand the film. After all, it will dismissed her parts to the base, and the plaster will disappear along with it. About the finish putty for outdoor, facade works Find out at.

The use of the roller is suitable for those who are not confident in their abilities.. Purchase a special roller. Thanks to its protrusions and varnishes, a drawing is formed. He is imprinted on a non-frozen plaster. So her appearance will be very beautiful. Available to use and conventional painting roller.

However, for this it is necessary to pull out the pile. You can still wrap the work part with a cord or other tool to create folds.

Output

Summing up can be said that the decorative plaster can be freely applied to the plaster. The shortcomings can be attributed, the need for additional wall processing, surface preparation to apply a new layer of plaster, as well as testing for the strength of the old layer of plaster.

The advantages include saving time on the removal of the old layer of plastering financial costs for additional work.

Decorative plaster, as well as, with proper preparation of the walls and the ability to apply it, is easily applied and becomes a beautiful part of your interior. At the same time, it will be very durable and practical, but provided that it will be applied in compliance with all the conditions described.

The decoration of walls with decorative plaster is works that are conducted on internal or outer surfaces. They are aimed at giving the walls or ceiling of a certain texture and color. Depending on the selected composition, various techniques of applying this material are used. Only preparatory work remain unchanged.

For the decoration of the walls, the following will take the following:

• spatulas of different sizes;
• terks and Halfury;
• trowel;
• capacity;
• brushes, rollers and sponges;
• drill with a macker;
• stepladder or scaffolding;
• polyethylene film, painting tape;
• plastering mix, wax, paint.

The preparatory stage requires the following tools and materials:

• sandpaper, grinding machine;
• rule;
• level and plumb;
• spatulas;
• reinforcing mesh;
• primer deep penetration;
• starting plaster, putty.

Preparatory stage

Stucco finishing requires perfectly prepared surface. To do this, you need to carry out the following manipulations:

1. Fully remove the old coating or clean it from traces of paint, wallpaper and so on.
2. Align the walls using starting plaster and reinforcing mesh or plasterboard sheets.
3. Seared possible surface defects, such as potholes and cracks, putty.
4. Remove protruding fragments.
5. Check the evenness of the walls with a level or plumb.
6. Twice apply a layer of primer to increase adhesion.

Decoration of wall structural plaster

With this material, finishing works on external and internal surfaces are carried out. The decoration with decorative plaster does not require rich experience or qualifications - the home master can easily cope with it. Difficulties may occur only with applying a mixture to the ceiling.

Preparation of solution

The modern building market offers ready-made mixtures in plastic containers of various volumes or dry powders in bags that need to be diluted with water. If we are talking about budget savings, it is better to buy powdered material and prepare decorative plaster yourself. For this purpose, an electric door with a nozzle-mixer, water and a mixing container are required.

Important! Most structural plasters dry very quickly, while they cannot be added to them after cooking, so it is not recommended to do large rasters in order not to lose the material.

The material consumption directly depends on the filler fraction:

• Coarse material - 2 kg per square meter.
• Average - 1.7 kg.
• Fine-grained - 0.7 kg.

First of all, you need to wash the container for breeding and pour into it such an amount of water that indicated the manufacturer on the package. The fluid temperature should be approximately 20 degrees. Then it should be gradually add a solution into water, stirring it with a mixer.

After that, you need to wait about 15 minutes and stir the plaster again. If the material is made on the basis of acrylic resins, then a kole is added to it, otherwise it is subject to later color.

Features of application

The prepared composition is gaining to the spatula and apply it on the wall, after which it stretch the plaster on the surface. Surplus material is also removed by a spatula. During application, it is important to observe the thickness of the plaster layer, which should correspond to the material fraction, so it is not recommended to do it more than 3 mm. At the same time, too thin layer will not be able to completely close the walls, and after drying, the primer will appear on them.

As mentioned above, this material is driving instantly, therefore, a limited time is given to work. So that the layer of plaster turned out to be uniform, it should be applied at a time. If the surface being processed is too large, it will have to divide it into the plots with a painting ribbon. Then apply plaster with the allen, remove the ribbon until the material is frozen, and in the same way to process the rest of the area.

Rubbing plaster

This stage is considered the most responsible. The appearance of the resulting surface and its operational indicators depends on its proper conduct. Works should be started immediately after the material grabs. Usually it takes 30 minutes. Check the wall availability is simple: enough to lean the palm to it, if it does not stick, you can start.

The procedure is carried out by means of plastic celma. To achieve various effects, various rubbing techniques use (see photo):

You should know! If for some reason it is impossible to treat the whole wall at a time, then it is not necessary to break exactly to the boundaries of the processed area. It is necessary to leave the plaster on the edges not touched, and after applying the entire layer, it is thoroughly losing joints.

Coloring

A day after the main work, it is possible to start staining the wall. First of all, it is necessary to process the entire surface with emery paper to align small defects. Then the wall is painted in a dark color and wait until it dry. The next layer of paint should be lighter by 1-2 tones. Works are carried out by a conventional painting roller, and the walls of the wall joints with the floor and the ceiling are treated with a brush. After drying the second layer, it is recommended to apply glossy varnish.

First prepare a solution taking into account the manufacturer's recommendations, after which they apply it to the surface with spatulas. Dries longer than structural, so you can safely handle the entire wall. Surplus material is also removed by a spatula. After processing the entire wall area, you can proceed to creating an invoice.

How to make a flat layer

Such a coating can be obtained using the following tools:

• roller;
• stencil-stamp;
• kelma and spatula.

The use of roller is the easiest and fastest way. With this tool, you can create a surface resembling velor. To do this, it is necessary with the effort to go through the entire surface of the wall, while the movements should be directed in one direction. Then wait for the material to dry and remove protruding fragments of the spatula blade.

If it seems too complex process, you can purchase special stencils-stamps with embossed patterns. These products are simply pressed to fresh plaster, after which it remains relief. The main inconvenience is the need to constantly wash the stencil with water to remove the remnants of the material from its surface.

On a note! While buying all the necessary need to purchase several small stencils for corners.

With the help of spatulas and Kelma, there are drawings that resemble the texture of natural stone, suede or concrete. It is necessary to work with them by the same principle as with all the above tools. Brush, spatula or culma pressed to the surface and spend over its entire area. If there was no construction tool at hand, you can use the usual sponge or even a cellophane package. In general, everything is suitable for which it can leave on the surface of the relief.

How to spend staining

Such decorative plaster for internal work does not require mandatory staining, but to underline the invoice, it is still better to spend it. First, the surface is cleaned with fine-grained emery paper, then brown the resulting dust. The first layer of paints is applied by a long-haired roller, and the second is short-haired. Tone paint should be a little different. It is necessary to apply them at the interval per day, while the plaster after making the texture should dry about 48 hours.

If there was no roller at hand, the process of staining decor-plaster looks like this:

1. Open the can with paint and pour it into a special container. It is completely dipped into it, full of bristles. Then press about the embossed edge of the tank to remove excess paint. If there is no special capacity, you can squeeze the brush brushes about a piece of multilayer cardboard.
2. Now you can proceed to applying paint. You don't need to cry out every detail, you should apply a layer with squeezed movements, barely touching the surface. Thus, the paint will not get into the invoice, but only the protruding fragments will fall.
3. It is waiting for drying the first layer and apply the second, brighter. In this case, the same technique is used as for the first layer.
4. The last stage will be the application of varnish. This material is first diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio, then apply a wide clean brush. After some time (each lacquer dries a certain period) you can apply a second layer. About 1-2 days can be touched on the plastered wall.

Some wizards use the blur method. It implies applying only one layer of paint, which is subsequently triturated with a damp cloth. As a result, the texture remains saturated color, and the protruding parts are lighter.

Pictures and panels

Before working with decorative plaster, you need to immediately determine the presence of additional design elements on the walls, for example, various drawings or panels. They are able to decorate and ennoble even the most common interior, especially if they are combined with correct backlight.

What pictures can be applied and where to place them

The win-win option is a separate wall, which is pre-separated by a stone or stucco around the perimeter. Also, these elements are appropriately located between windows, near interior doors or on the edges of the arched passage.

If we are talking about a children's room, then here you can fantasize how much you want. Pictures can be addressed to the topics of the beloved fairy tale or the cartoon of the child. For the children's room, it is permissible to apply drawings on the area of \u200b\u200ball walls.

As for bedrooms or living rooms, everything is much more complicated here. The first rule - the drawing should not make a disharmony in the interior. Pictures on the walls are permissible only for classical design, baroque, ampira, etc. It goes without saying that in modern or high-tek, drawings and panels will look superfluous.

The tone of the painted panel should either contrast with the tone of the adjacent wall, or differ from it by 2 tones. The combination of mothers and dark tones is unacceptable.

Application techniques

There are three basic method of decorating the surface that require artistic taste. Therefore, it is better to trust professionals or get a master class on decorative plaster.

Working with stencil

This option is the easiest. As a stencil, you can use fragments of plywood or drywall, pre-cutting patterns on them.

The process of application occurs as follows:

Creating a bas-relief using construction tools

The method of relief graphics is also considered one of the most popular. It implies the use of plastic fine-grained plasters based on synthetic binding components, acrylic paints and colorless varnish. For such operations, brushes of different shapes and sizes will also need, spatulas from various materials, pointed wooden pegs.

The process occurs as follows:

• After applying the finishing layer of the plaster, the master through the selected tool puts on the surface embossed pattern. The simplest example is the waves drawn by a painting brush.
• The composition is completed with a decorated embossed frame, which is created using a sponge or foam roller.
• After complete drying, the drawing is painted. There are also no clear recommendations - it all depends on fantasy and talent.

Manual layer

The last method is considered the most difficult and without profile education sculpture, most likely nothing will happen. The purpose of this operation is to create a relief on the treated wall by means of a manual modeling. Such panels can only occupy part of the wall, and can and the whole area. After their drying, the surface is also treated with paint and varnish.

Decorative plaster with your own hands is simply applied, if you do not take into account artistic aspects of the issue. The main thing is to adhere to the above councils and recommendations of manufacturers.

The general concept of "decorative plaster" combines the most diverse materials in its composition - it is Flock, and liquid wallpapers, and "Venetian", and the textured, and imitation of various materials - wood, stone, leather, fabrics and many others. Decorative stucco forms the original style of the room and often becomes its basis. Decorating walls with the help of this material combines artistic and painting works.

We offer you some tips, how to properly apply decorative plasterersature.

Preparation of walls

Before applying decorative plaster, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the wall from old wallpapers or detached pieces of old plaster. Then the surface of the walls is raised by the sandpaper, the bulges and irregularities of the walls are removed. All dust, during operation, tempering on the walls, gently swept the tassel.

For decorative plaster, you must apply soil. The usual primer is applied with a spatula, and a soil-impregnation is a roller. After complete drying of the wall, you can start working with decorative plaster.

Stages of work

Preparation of decorative plaster is made in accordance with the instruction applied to the package, which is a plastic bucket of various capacitances. Usually everything comes down to thorough mixing of the composition with a special nozzle inserted into the drill. If you do not have a drill, then mix the contents of the bucket manually with a narrow board or piece of fittings.

The subtle moment in the simple work of applying plaster is the addition of dye. You have several options:

• add a dye immediately in a bucket with a composition in the proportion of 1:10;
• add a colorant to the finishing composition
• in conclusion of work in equal parts, dye dye with the composition of plaster and uneven, chaotic strokes to put on the wall with a regular sponge or roller.

The third option, of course, the most time-consuming, but also looks like plaster, made in this way, very effectively.

After you have decided on a clearant, you can proceed to applying plaster. A spatula or cell is applied with a layer of composition on the primed surface of the wall. Layer thickness 2-5 mm.

Now you, of course, will already notice and understand why it was necessary to apply primer:

• the composition falls on the surface of the walls is very easy;
• not absorbed by the pores of the wall;
• the surface of the walls is quite smooth and has good adhesion.

The composition of the tool on the wall is applied in one direction - or from the bottom up and on the contrary, or circular motions.

It is now that comes the right moment in order to show his artistic fantasy. The coated layer can be brushed with a striped structure.

You can make relief. For this, gear cells are used or curly rollers. It is very convenient to work as a wide tool that immediately covers a large area.

A very interesting relief, resembling a lunar surface, it turns out if you take a lump-mounted polyethylene cure and slightly pressed them on the wall.

In addition to the listed tools for creating embossed patterns, various applicators and stamps are used, with their help, repetitive reliefs.

Decorative plaster is dry from 8 to 48 hours depending on the layer thickness. On the dried wall, it is necessary to lightly go through a small emery sandpaper in order to remove sharp embossed edges. All dust necessarily lowers.

In conclusion, the plastered surface is covered with the finish solution, which must be selected by compatibility with the composition of plaster. Instead of finishing coating, builders often use a special wax, giving the wall high waterproof. It can also be covered with coloring composition.
