3. Universal - combine the positive characteristics of the first two types: Eco + especially resistant to change in humidity and temperature. The house is used for finishing of non-residential buildings: bath / shower rooms, bathrooms, kitchens.

Properties plaster mixtures

The advantages of this type of decoration is much greater than the disadvantages.

The undoubted pluses:

1. Do not demanding perfection the foundations of the walls (quite primed surface to be coated).
2. Durable.
3. It owns masking (hiding wall defects) and sound or thermal insulating properties. There is a variety of decorative plaster, is specially used as soundproofing and insulation.
4. Easy to application technology, is available for beginners (except for a special type of finishes - Venetian plaster).
5. It creates integrated seamless plane without crushing surface to be decorated on the visible parts of the walls.
6. Environmentally friendly. When applying, drying, operation does not emit toxic hazardous substances.
7. Resistant to: fire, UV light, growth of molds.

1. Visual appeal. With an incredible variety of textures and colors, plaster in the interior surface is able to simulate: stone, wood, textile (silk twill, burlap, etc.), skin, fancy images (for example, compositions with clouds, flowers).

1. It lends itself to restoration (easily restored fragments).
2. Resistant front claws pet ( "wallpaper hat removed silence").
3. It allows walls to "breathe" through the porous structure.
4. Amenable to wet cleaning or vacuuming your home.
5. Stylistically suitable in any interior (stylization of antiques to urban high-tech).

A few downsides:

1. Applying the plaster-consuming and sometimes costly (as is the case with costly "Venetian").
2. It is impossible to avoid the "wet" and "dirty" stages of work.
3. Relatively complicated dismantling existing quality coating (if the need arises).

Classification by type of decor

1. structural

So called decorative plaster, creating a relief structure on the wall due to the inclusion in its composition different granular mass - wood fibers, cellulose, quartz stones, mica and other solid particles. The relief is due only to the filler without the use of special tools - textured spatulas and special rollers.

It is fine and coarse. The bigger and deeper relief created by it (the coarse-grained filler), the greater the consumption of a mixture need to be coated per unit area.

Among the structural "celebrities" decoration - plaster "bark beetle" in the interior, "rains" diagonal and vertical, "lamb".

It can vary in the binder and be of 4 types (previously described in the table).

1. textured

This simulates the texture finishing of various materials by means of plaster with fillers (see the paragraph above. 1) and special tools. These roles can act as textured rollers / spatulas and adaptable for this purpose handy tools (brush, brushes, plastic bags). Relations is based on four main types (see. table).

1. Venice

Textured decorating wall plastering complex composition (lime, marble powder, gypsum, wax and polymers +) using the specular spatula. This type of finish simulating polished cut precious stones (malachite, marble) a few hundred years, although "Venetian" demand is not falling today. Differing complicated application technology layer by layer and their subsequent polishing itself kind of finish is synonymous with refinement, luxury, welfare.

1. Flok

Relatively young method of decorative finishes. With a certain interval are applied to the wall:

• an acrylic adhesive layer (using a roller or brush);
• Fires Gun fragments, flocks - flakes of acrylic;
• fixing layer again acrylic lacquer.

Such an inlay energy consumption, time-consuming, technically difficult and is cheap (requires special equipment).

1. silk

Similar technology with Flok (being finished rather than in the traditional sense of the plaster). Instead of acrylic polyester + flakes used natural or artificial silk fibers. Also known as "liquid" wallpaper.

1. graphite

Mortar based on white Portland cement. It is used to give a plausible three-dimensional stone imitation. Such decorative plaster easy to "draw" masonry, crushed stone and other. It can be applied in a layer thickness of 8 cm. Due to the polymer additives is very plastic, does not slip off the wall. Congealing, likened to the "cold welding", before this filling microcracks and voids in the wall.

1. "Warm" energy saving

Adding a standard mineral base (Portland cement), particular filler - polystyrene in the form of granules, expanded vermiculite, sawdust or perlite powder - said mixture is not only decorative, but also thermal insulation characteristics.

Features of use in modern interior

decorate the living room

Purpose of the main room in the house - creating friendly atmosphere for socializing. Working on its interior, remember that the largest surface that requires finishing - this wall. Not needing a separate protection against excessive temperature changes or humidity (as in the bathroom / shower room or kitchen), without having increased requirements for durability (as in the hallway / corridor), a living room wall decoration can be very fine and have no restrictions choosing.

Prefer a smooth finish ( "Venetian") or a relief - the choice is yours. The measure - matching the style and design ideas.

The steps of creating a relief panel

• Priming the surface;
• Forming the background;
• Applying sketch;
• Layered capacity volumetric pattern (using spatulas, mastehiny, brushes and al.);
• Smoothing sharp reliefs and their careful sanding;

Less emphasis should be placed on a porous, embossed and unconditional preference to have the walls covered with water-repellent composition:

• silicate;
• silicone;
• "Venetian" (having a mineral base, this mixture as a protective layer is equipped with the wax film).

Moistureproof surface have a unique technology of applying decorative mixtures:

1. Multiple pre-primer;
2. Particular care-cement grout;
3. Drying plaster for 3 days.

Decorating the walls of the kitchen

In addition to the high humidity, the kitchen room decor should have a good resistance to temperature variations. Heat resistance and flame resistance - this additional requirement to the ability to repel moisture in any form. For the rest, there are no restrictions, "Venetian", decorative panels, structural and textured options - all under the power of modern kitchen design in a variety of stylistic antiques to high-tech.

The possibilities of decorating

Gaining more and more popularity in design circles, this type of decoration is subject to many things:

By trial and error

Wanting to test himself as a master in plaster decoration, the mixture can be prepared independently, taking as a basis:

• starting putty (gypsum favorite brand) 3 parts;
• pre-sieved sand 3 parts;
• adhesive composition (1 part) or PVA in dilution water.

Mix thoroughly, first apply the mixture onto the primed surface with a spatula, subsequently giving chaotic texture desired one of the available tools:

• brush;
• stiff brush;
• crumpled polyethylene;
• hand in rubber glove;
• foam sponge;
• spraying;
• textured roller.

Satisfied with the result, drying of the relief should be sanded (removing sharp edges) and dye in multiple layers using lessirovaniya and lightening the protruding portions of the relief.
