The perfect solution for your kitchen ceiling! Honest review and advice from my superintendent
Which room, in your opinion, requires the most careful selection of finishing materials? I believe that there are two such rooms! This is a bathroom and a kitchen. These premises have their own characteristics that have an adverse effect on finishes and furniture.
What problems do we face in the kitchen:
- high humidity,
- temperature differences,
- splashes... no, not champagne, although his too)) But usually it is grease and soot.
Not every finish will endure all these factors.
It is for these reasons that it is not recommended to make stretch ceilings in the kitchen. It may not be very practical and aesthetically pleasing. And when customers are interested in my opinion, I always recommend painting the ceilings in the kitchen. But choose the highest quality paint.
Which roller to paint the ceiling?
The foam roller is highly paint absorbing. Because of what, it accumulates on the ceiling and can form bubbles. Therefore, it is worth giving preference
velor tools. They are able to capture not so much paint, so the described problem is excluded.Now about paint and painting

And at the end of the article I will share the secret rules for painting ceilings from the foreman Andrey
So, his review:
«Paint this super white! It looks very beautiful on the ceiling. Such a straight line - crystal clear! The photo does not convey all this beauty.
The paint is quite thick in consistency. Thanks to this, it does not stain, drip or splatter when applied. In confirmation of this - my clean T-shirt and hair on my head)) Although maybe it's just professionalism)))
I think a big plus is that paint consists of acrylic polymers. This definitely adds durability to the coating, which means it will last longer. The manufacturer sets the term - 4-5 years. But I think that this is not the limit.

Now Andrey's tips for painting:
- In order for the paint to lay down well and hold better, before painting you need prepare the ceiling surface. Be sure to remove old coatings (if any) and prime the surface primer FORUMHOUSE ФХ-032.
- The ceiling should be painted only with a roller. Better velor.
- Painting should always be done in two steps.
- Roll the first layer with a roller from the window.
- The roller must move parallel wall with window.
- When applying the second coat of paint, the roller should roll out the paint perpendicular the wall in which the window is equipped.
- Do not interrupt work until completely applied. Otherwise, there is a risk of leaving a noticeable strip on the ceiling.
