To paint the house in the warmer months
The times we have to paint our new home, it is primarily when: we moved house when we leave the house (leaving it as we delivered it), when are the hottest seasons (spring, summer) or when there to chop the wall to solve a problem as water leaks, electrical, or vermin (rats, cockroaches, etc).
That’s why whenever we paint our homes we need to be clear that I buy paint, not a topic that is so difficult to paint, but if an issue we have to spend pesos whens
Let us check that buy paint when painting the house.
A. – When we reached the new home: Usually when we reached the new home, we will have our little room without furniture, plants, people and food. Therefore it is the right time to paint our house and leave air space for a few days.
The best option: resistance, washability and durability
That’s why in this case we can use Enamel paints, solvents Base with Water, which are washable and resist moisture better. These characteristics are accentuated, if we choose synthetic enamel, a glaze over the water.
Generate synthetic enamel as much breathing toxic fumes, so it is advised that the synthetic enamel paint ventilemos home, and the latter is what makes it perfect for painting before arriving at home, as is painting more duration, washability and resistance. Especially for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchen.
A synthetic enamel has a value of around $ 13,500 CLP per gallon, which has a yield of 35 to 40 m2.
2. – When we leave home to go to another: Certainly when we leave home, finish painting the house to leave the walls clean. If we think of a quality paint or washability, will only make the work harder for the next tenant, because if you want to change the color, more effort should be made to remove the paint. That is why we can use cheaper paints like latex.
The latex has a faster drying as it is mainly water based, therefore we should not keep airy space for your application. It does not release toxic fumes as it contains no solvents.
The latter is important because it allows us to move forward the work, rushing to repaint the walls. If we apply more than one hand, the rubber dries in less time than enamel at which we leave old home ready in less time
3. – When are the hottest seasons: in spring or summer, is looking for a typical new home will look for what they are used for more vibrant colors to paint the home. It is also at this time when temperatures allow the job done in less time, supporting the paint drying.
In this case the criterion is dependent on the termination we need:
-If you want a glossy finish, we use the synthetic enamel we can find the most brilliant endings, but the application must be careful to ventilate the space.
-If you want a semi-gloss finish, use enamel to water, because as water base has a less drying time, and in warm seasons (spring and summer), we have even less drying time.
-If you want a matte finish, use the latex, which is cheaper and also in this type of paint colors are stronger, fluoro colors so to speak, which may be attractive to your new home, if you want to be super loquillo and fluorine .
4. – When we repair a wall: these are usually repaired by moisture problems and shredded to let the air pipe, and after the repair is performed to repair the masonry. It is at this point that once dried pulp plaster or wall, when applying paint.
If the area you apply the paint is wet, apply a synthetic enamel, which have more stamina to moisture. On the other hand areas of lower humidity can be used to water or latex enamel, the latter to save on the repair we are doing.
Super cute scene, but you have to use a technical partner to paint the wall and prevent staining.
In all these cases we must be clear about the budget and always know that if we paint roller is essential to repeat the same technique of painting, not to leave marks on the wall (not paint in different directions or in different ways).
Always, and in all cases, before painting should be clear that we must prepare the surface: remove the old paint using a spatula, and then sanding. If you get holes and irregularities using a ground paste to make a smooth surface, no one wants a wall ollitos or cracked.
I hope these tips serve to know how to paint your house, now approaching the warmer months.
