Ready putties: features of choice and application

The application of coloring mixtures has a number of nuances and subtleties. It is not enough just to find a good paint, dilute the composition in accordance with the instructions, observe the temperature and use the right tool when working. We still need to carefully prepare the basis for the work so that it does not let down. The same is true for many other finishing materials that decorate the walls in residential buildings and various other areas.

The role in preparation for the main work of spatula mixtures is great, among which ready-to-use compounds are put in the first place.

Ready putty is different from the usual compositions, which have to be mixed directly on the construction site or in the repaired house. It is prepared completely in the enterprise, where the source components themselves are produced.Technologists certainly have more knowledge than ordinary builders, and workers have more specialized equipment and tools at their disposal, including for quality control.

The finished putty is mixed to the state of a uniform cream, it is very easy to apply on any kind of surface, making this surface very smooth and even throughout. All cooking on site is limited to stirring in a bucket, only occasionally you need to add more water.

An important advantage of the finished mixture is not only saving effort, but also reducing timewhich needs to be spent for performance of necessary works, improvement of the achieved result.

In any hardware store, you can buy suitable mixes that you just have to open and start working.

Most often in the course of latex acrylate putty, which is recommended for application to sheets of drywall. Theoretically, this finishing material can cover the widest range of surfaces. The cost of such a wall covering may seem excessive, but this opinion is erroneous, because the material is consumed very economically.The putty is elastic and lies only 2 mm thick.

When the acrylate material is applied, it does not lose its elasticity because it contains latex. And even if the drying is uneven, the wall will remain visually even. Delivery of such material occurs in buckets of 25 kg each.

Previously began the use of oil-adhesive and adhesive compositions, characterized by high density. The complexity of the application on a vertical surface pays off a significant strength of the layer created, and in the first place this type of mixture is used when finishing floors. In most cases, the adhesive mixture is realized in plastic or metal containers, where 0.5 kg of the substance are placed.

Facade acrylic filler is needed in order to ensure a clean alignment:

• fences;
• terraces;
• proper facades of residential buildings and similar surfaces.

When this material is applied, grouting is done, you can start painting.

The combination of acrylate and siloxane substances is used as a raw material, which allows to reduce the layer to a few millimeters. The market presents containers of various capacities: both buckets and plastic bags.The putty for interior work on the basis of PVA is characterized by the smell typical of this substance, which is worth suffering for the sake of high efficiency in the fight against mold and pathogenic fungi. The main type of packaging - plastic buckets and bottles, the volume of which is selected based on the comfort of consumers.

Compared to the mixtures prepared by amateur and professional builders those compositions that are made in factories are always better, and significantly:

• they are always dosed, and you can not measure out manually;
• work productivity is much higher;
• reduced the amount of garbage, marriage;
• no need to dilute putty with water.

Also, the ready mixture is easily polished, mechanically processed, perfectly applied with vacuum equipment, perfectly covers any corner, seam. A dry variety of it is a powder, placed in bags or bags. It can be diluted so that the mixture is fully prepared.

In most cases, it is worth choosing a material intended for interior work. This classification means that the mixture is completely safe for humans and domestic animals. You should always take into account whether the expiration date of the drug has not been exhausted - if it still lasts, the combination of substances copes with its responsibilities.

Important: you should not hope that economical products will help to save money, because the reduced price of 1 kg turns out to be many times more expensive for finishing. Completely ready-looking mixture is always better than dry, because it eliminates the masters own mistakes when preparing the composition.

Experts believe that it is necessary to acquire products of well-known brands, which receive mostly positive feedback. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between the original and the final putty; these are completely different mixtures that cannot replace each other.

Starting mix, for example, packaged in 15 kg, is sold almost everywhere. Using it is very easy:

• remove drops;
• close the gap;
• camouflage cracks and various holes.

It is recommended to apply starting putty in one layer 15 mm thick.All layers are applied strictly only after the previous layer has been dried. To simplify the application of the wall using paint mesh, it allows you to place a solid coating of high strength. Finishing putty is always thin, It is placed only on top of a perfectly flat base layer.. Otherwise, it is not necessary to speak about the masking of defective places.

When working with putty, you need to have a pair of spatulas with you - one, wide, level layers, and relatively small ones remove excess mixtures or work in hard-to-reach areas. You may still need a corner tool. It is necessary to work, starting from the top, the composition is spread along, trying as if to press it into the seams. It is unacceptable to save solution because dried putty will shrink with time, various voids and irregularities may appear.

It does not matter at all whether the fire-resistant type of material is used or colored - this problem will still manifest.

Ready-made putty produced by many companies: both domestic and foreign.

• Finnish brand products Scanmix tt - universal composition for initial surface treatment. By its chemical nature, this mixture is based on cement, can be applied both in houses and on external walls. The drug is characterized by resistance to contact with water and exposure to frost. Even with a very thick layer (20 mm), the mixture will harden in 24 hours. The cost of filler is small, in the process of drying, it can shrink.
• Among the gypsum preparations attracts attention Knauf HP homepage. The putty produced in Germany is suitable only for those walls of internal rooms that are not exposed to high humidity. The maximum permissible layer is 1.5 cm, there is no risk of shrinkage, and the coating is very durable.

• Ceresit CT 29 - also a German product, this time universal, but still unsuitable for places with high humidity. Temperature range of application - from +5 to +32 degrees. But the subsequent use is possible even with severe frosts, drying takes no more than 15 hours. The strength of the coating is determined by the polymer microfiber in the composition of the finished mixture.
• Putty Danogips Superfinish - 28 kg, 17 l, can be used for processing walls in dry rooms, it has a pasty consistency and allows you to create a layer up to 0.2 cm. Such a coating is recommended for finishing finishing sheet decorating materials.Frost resistance level - 5 cycles of freezing and heating.

• Spatula composition "Leningrad paints" made on the basis of PVA glue, it can be applied on walls, ceilings made of concrete, plaster.

If you do not open the package, the shelf life may be 12 months.
• Axton - mixture, produced in the form of paste. It is intended for superfinishing processing of walls in dry rooms, in places where there are pronounced irregularities, such putty copes even better than products of other leading concerns.
