Building

Almost all wooden structures need a protective coating. It prevents moisture from affecting the material, prolongs the life and gives a good appearance. At the same time, questions about how to paint a wood imitation inside a house or how much dye is needed for this are very popular among builders who work with wood.

When dyeing wooden materials without pretreatment, dye consumption increases significantly.

Calculations and methods

First of all, it is necessary to understand that the finished wall is subjected to painting, and not the original material. Therefore, when it comes to talking about applying a certain layer to the surface, we mean the area of all structures. (See also the article "Do-it-yourself" laying: specific features.

Consumption

When deciding on how to paint a bar inside a house, you need to know the area of the entire surface that is to be treated.
To find out the amount of material needed, you should carefully study the inscriptions on its packaging, where manufacturers usually indicate the consumption of a substance per square meter. However, it must be remembered that such an indication implies that painting will be carried out in one layer and on the prepared surface.
It should be noted that the pretreatment of wood with special impregnations significantly reduces the consumption of dye and increases its adhesion to the wall. At the same time, it is possible to save considerably, since the price of such primers is much lower than that of the finishing material.

The paint must be applied along the length of the material or along its fibers, otherwise stains and smudges are formed

Special attention is given to mechanical surface treatment. The fact is that wood is a fibrous material and if it has a certain hairiness, then due to its good absorbing properties, paint consumption will increase significantly. That is why if there are doubts about the quality of wood processing, it is treated with fine-grained emery paper before the primer.

Tip! For each type of material intended for coating, there is a different method of application, which is indicated on the package. By following it you can achieve maximum results with minimum costs.

When using protective coatings, you can not only give the wood additional properties, but also significantly reduce paint consumption.
