Wall decoration: useful tips

Recommendations for wall decoration from professionals, members of the FORUMHOUSE portal

Building your own home, especially a stone one and on your own, rarely fits in a full cycle in one season. Often, the process takes several years; at best, in one approach they manage to bring the box under the roof and glaze it before the frost begins. What to do next depends on the specific life circumstances, someone can afford to postpone the engineer and finishing until spring.

In winter, finishing is elementary - you just need to wait until May and not do garbage ...

And someone does not have the opportunity to wait, for example, you need to quickly move out of a rented apartment and have to continue internal work in winter. And under certain conditions this is quite acceptable and will not affect the quality in any way - in case of violations of technology and recommendations of manufacturers of finishing materials, problems will be in winter or summer. The portal has collected a huge experience in the interior decoration of the house, but since the lion's share of the work falls on the walls, a selection of recommendations will relate to this issue.

Plaster and temperature conditions

Plaster, as it was and remains one of the most common methods of rough wall decoration, only the thickness of the layer and the composition of the mixture differ. If a decade ago there was no alternative to home-made CPB (cement-sand mixture), today they are plastered with ready-made cement compositions with the addition of modifiers and fiberglass, and mixtures based on gypsum. But regardless of the type of plaster, there are two unshakable rules.

• The substrate must be dry.
• Work is carried out only at positive temperatures. Moreover, heat must be maintained for the entire period of drying of the plaster. For cement mixtures, this is a month.

... You should have at least 4 weeks of positive temperatures (around the clock) in reserve (for drying). If not, postpone work until spring.

When choosing gypsum and lime mixtures, it should be borne in mind that they are hygroscopic all the time, and not only during the drying period. Because of what their use in an unheated house is undesirable.

If the plaster is cement, nothing will be 100% with it, it just has to dry out to the cold. Well, lovers of "breathing" lime and gypsum can get troubles in the form of crumbling.

But even if the plaster after thawing and does not move away from the base, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do without the appearance of mold.

The main difficulty of finishing work in the winter is precisely in maintaining heat, since this requires additional costs. And when engineering systems are only in the process and have to be heated by mobile devices, the costs are even higher.

Does gypsum plaster need fiberglass reinforcing mesh

In a wet façade system, one of the stages is the installation of a reinforcing layer using fiberglass mesh. It is also often used when plastering walls inside the house in order to increase strength and prevent cracking. However, such a solution is not universal and is not always justified.

I would like to do it once and for all with gypsum plaster. I understand (perhaps mistakenly) that it will be more reliable with a grid. Will glass fiber mesh hold on better?

Palych P34

No, misunderstanding. It will be more reliable with gypsum plaster in compliance with the technology on a stable base and WITHOUT ANY GRID. No mesh is needed for gypsum plaster. From the word completely, in it the mesh can do more harm.

Play it safe fgor09 decided due to the fact that the house is in the swamps and the base may move, but under such conditions the grid will no longer save. On the contrary - "any rigid part, monolithic on a movable base, will provoke a crack."

How to prepare gypsum board for wallpaper

Plasterboard sheets are the second most popular way of preparing walls for finishing; they are also most often sheathed with non-load-bearing frame partitions. In view of this, the following question is relevant for many.

What is the best way to prepare drywall for wallpapering? Do I need to putty completely or just the joints? There is a bag of uniflot (universal gypsum putty with polymer additives for sealing joints), it is written that they are putty without tapes / nets, is that so?

The preparation process depends on the quality of the wallpaper.

Palych P34

If the wallpaper is dense and opaque, it is enough just to align the seams between the sheets in the plane. Under thin or white (also with transparent streaks there are) it is better to stretch either with a polymer putty on a sdir, or tinted in one layer. Chamfered or rounded joints can be filled without tape. If there is thinning, it is better with tape. Before gluing the wallpaper, the base must be primed.

How to decorate the walls in a house from aerated concrete

A member of our portal with a nickname I g o r also a burning question.

Please tell me what is the "last word of construction thought" in finishing in 2019 smooth on average internal walls made of aerated concrete in a house that will not potentially be heated yet in winter? I understand that the question is boring, but I read a bunch of topics, articles and videos, different opinions and advice, there is no consensus, I decided to ask my question myself.

I g o r leaning towards "cheap and reliable" plaster with a cement-sand mixture, but he is embarrassed by the laudatory reviews of gypsum, according to those who used them, you can do with gypsum almost without putties.

And this is a reduction in terms and costs, since according to DSP there is no way without putting putty on all surfaces, except in the areas under the tiling. In light of what the traditional question arises, to be or not to be, and if to be, then how?

I g o r

Do you need a mesh for DSP or is it enough to prime it properly? Adhesion to GB is traditionally poor. Or maybe a plaster cast after all? It will dry up before winter. And one more thing: should plasterers require wall polishing after DSP?

Palych P34

Start the heating first, and then apply a thin layer of plaster to all dry rooms. At the same time, the walls will shrink and the risk of cracking will decrease. Even if the main shrinkage has already passed, when the heating is turned on, an additional one occurs. Therefore, you need to either wait or do the basic cement plaster. The mesh is not a panacea; in the DSP, the mesh-netting should be included with a layer of 30 mm thick.

Is it possible to do without plaster in a panel house

Virusnik wonders if it is possible to save on finishing, if wallpapering is planned in a new panel house with relatively flat walls. The opinions of the advisers were divided - friends recommend priming, puttingtying, sanding, priming and gluing the wallpaper again. But the worker, who has to beautify the new building, predicts that without the plaster layer, the finish will collapse due to poor contact between the putty and the base.

You don't need to plaster.

Palych P34

• If there are no large deviations, you can simply putty the walls. The meaning of plaster is precisely in leveling large irregularities.
• They advise a completely correct algorithm. But it is not necessary to treat monolithic concrete with a deep penetration liquid primer. It can be well cleaned and dust-free with water, the effect is the same. A primer is useful when there is leftover putty or plaster on the walls.
• Most likely, the worker has experience in applying a putty designed exclusively for painting. T. e. very weak, which the heavy wallpaper tears off. You just need to choose the right filler.

Why you shouldn't use ready-made plaster mixes after the expiration date

The question is this: there is dry gypsum plaster in bags, bought a couple of years ago, and it says that the shelf life is only six months. I was surprised that the sausage has a longer shelf life. This is not a food product. What will happen to him? Can't you use it?

It is hardly worth using such a “long-playing” sausage even if the deadline is met, but plaster is definitely not allowed.

Palych P34

In the composition of gypsum plasters there are modifying additives (plasticizers, retarders), which in the process of long-term storage lose their useful properties over time. Because of this, the shelf life is rather limited. By the way, there are also food additives in the composition.

However, the temptation to save money is too great.

sneg91

I used a three-year-old putty and a uniflot of 2010, there are no differences from the new one. The main thing is how they were stored.

Compliance with the recommended storage conditions is a matter of course, but the fact that sneg91 did not notice the difference, still does not say anything. Perhaps, during application, especially if there is at least minimal work experience, it is imperceptible, but how expired materials will behave in the future is unknown.
