Fur facade decoration

One of the most practical and simple solutions for finishing the facade is the application of a fur coat on it. In addition to the minimum cost of such a finish, it should be noted that the building gets an attractive look. The process of applying a fur coat is a sprinkling of plaster composition. Even if you are a novice master, then finishing the facade with a fur coat will not seem so difficult for you if you carefully study the tips and recommendations presented in this article.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are several positive and negative aspects of this method of finishing the facade. Among the advantages of plaster are the following points:

• A layer of plaster reliably protects the draft wall from the effects of snow, frost and rain.
• Work on its application does not take much time.
• Using coloring pigments you can give any color to plaster.
• No need for complex preparatory work.
• The decoration of the facade with a fur coat does not exert strong pressure on the foundation, since its weight is not great.

As for the negative sides, here you can mention the following nuances:

• Textured surface is a great place for dust accumulation.
• Not every stylistic design at home can combine a fur coat.
• Thermal insulation properties do not exceed the performance of ordinary plaster.

Surface preparation

The success of work depends on good preparation. By doing all the work in the right sequence, you will get the desired result. To start, inspect the entire base surface. If the facade has an old coating, then it should be eliminated. It is desirable to treat the surface with a metal brush, which will give the wall roughness. Due to this, the quality of the adhesion of the fur coat will increase.

Note! If the surface is smooth, then with a hatchet or hammer, apply the notches. Some make small grooves in the seams of bricks.

An important factor is to check the walls for evenness. To do this, you can use a plumb line or building level. If during the work a drop of up to 2 cm was found, then you can apply the fur coat without aligning it. After these steps, prepare in the following order:

1. Apply an antiseptic to the surface, which will protect against the formation of fungus. To do this, use a wide brush.
2. The next layer is a primer. It will provide high-quality grip. It will be good if you buy a deep penetration primer.
3. It is also recommended to fix the building grid on the wall. It will also increase the durability and quality of the connection.

Preparation of the solution

First of all, it is necessary to properly prepare the mixture. For this, ordinary sand is used. If you have cement M300, then the ratio to the sand is 3: 1, and if M400 - 4: 1. Mix the sand with cement first to dry. Due to this, the cement mixture will be stirred evenly. After you add water and mix until a homogeneous mass.

Note! In the process, you can notice that the solution quickly settles. To prevent this, you can add detergent to the mix.

Drawing on the wall

There are several technologies for applying fur coats on the wall. Everyone chooses the way that suits him the most.

1. Stick and broom. Dip a broom in the mix. Next, beat him on a stick in the area of ​​the broom triangle. The main thing is to ensure that the spray is distributed evenly. Using this method, you can make a texture of medium size.
2. Рейка и щетка. Если нужно сделать мелкую фракцию, то можно взять жесткую щетку и рейку. Drawing смеси на поверхность стены выполняется по описанному выше принципу. При таком методе важно выдерживать одинаковое расстояние от стены до рейки.
3. Through the net. Using the grid, you can achieve a completely different structure. As you move the screen with the grid will need to gradually move to the side. The mixture is tipped with a trowel. In this case, the movement should be directed in one direction.
4. Using a compressor for applying the solution. Using this method, you can achieve a better surface.

Do not rush to buy a new compressor for applying fur coats. Some use the popular invention, which is known as a street organ. In appearance, they have similarities, plus this will save money on the purchase of new equipment.

Note! There is another technology of applying a fur coat: using a roller with a pile of medium length. This is in case anything described above in your situation does not fit. To achieve the desired result, the mixture should contain very fine sand.

Tips and Tricks

Following the above tips, you can do all the work efficiently and quickly. Finally, pay attention to some expert advice, which are as follows:

• To put a fur coat on a surface costs at a temperature from 5 to 25 ° C. The best weather is cloudy.
• The mixture is applied in three layers. You should not wait until the previous one is completely dry. Enough to set the surface slightly.
• Do not save on the primer. Better apply it in several layers.
