There are many ways to decorate ceilings. Among them are stretch, suspended, fabric ceilings, wallpapering, but painting, which has its pros and cons, is considered the most traditional. About this, as well as about the correct technology for painting the ceiling — in this article.
The main advantage of painting the ceiling is that it allows you to maintain the existing height, which is impossible when using stretch and suspended ceilings and is especially important for low rooms.
On the other hand, painting will require preliminary surface preparation, since all ceiling defects, irregularities and cracks will be perfectly visible. In addition, such a decoration of ceilings is an occupation, accompanied by a lot of pollution. That is why the decoration of the premises starts from the top — from the ceiling — so that splashes and drips of paint do not spoil the new wallpaper or the floor..
An important role in painting is played by the quality of the paint and the selected tool. Velor or foam rollers absorb a large amount of paint, which is fraught with the appearance of bubbles on the painted surface, therefore it is recommended to use rollers with a long nap. This tool can be used on both rough and uneven surfaces. The quality of the roller is checked by compression — a really good tool will not deform after that. In addition, there should be no seams on the surface of the roller, as they can cause visible streaks..
How to paint the ceiling correctly? First of all, you need to prepare the surface. First, remove the old paint or whitewash, clean the ceiling from dust and level the existing cracks with putty. After that, the ceiling must be primed so that the paint does not subsequently flake off and crumble. If there are dark spots, they are tinted and allowed to dry..
Work begins from the far corners, while the roller should pass 3-5 centimeters from the corner. The remaining strip is tinted with a wide paint brush and work continues across the entire area of the room..
Remember that before painting the ceiling, you need to either remove the furniture from the room, or cover it with a special film..
