Useful

Relief plaster for wall finishing has been used for many years, with the technology constantly being modified. It is worth noting that the main feature of this decoration is that it is impossible to reproduce two identical patterns. Therefore, it gives individuality to the interior. The application of decorative coatings is considered a real art, especially when it comes to a kind of panel. This process is handled by experienced professionals. But at the same time, it is possible to perform such work independently. Enough to get acquainted with the technology, pick up the necessary materials and allocate some time.

Features of the process

To achieve the desired result, all work must be performed in a strictly defined order, which is prescribed by technology.

  1. Selection of a suitable pattern for the style of the room. It is best to print the sample in multiple copies so that the sheets are always at hand. This will allow to reproduce exactly what was intended.
  2. Surface preparation. The process is quite time-consuming, since you want to completely remove the previous finish.
  3. Remove dust and dirt with a broom, rags and water.
  4. Padding. Modern solutions of primers are also used as an antiseptic that protects against fungus and insects.
  5. Putting a starting layer of plaster. It is the basis.
  6. Repeated priming of the surface after complete drying of the starting layer.
  7. Formation of a relief by a finishing layer.
  8. At the last stage, a completely dried wall is covered with paint. In the presence of excess and drips, it is best to remove them immediately using a damp foam sponge.

The algorithm of operation is quite simple, so you should not risk it and move away from the described process. Otherwise, it will negatively affect the final result. In the process of creating the desired relief does not need to hurry, because it may take more than one day.

Each drawing involves the use of certain items and technologies.

Tools and accessories

To know how to make a three-dimensional drawing, you need to pick up certain tools and fixtures, processing the wall you can get an original texture. So, in addition to traditional items for the decoration, in the process of creating relief, you may need the following elements:

  • the sponge will give a “blistering” or will serve as the main tool for dyeing;
  • roller with a special nozzle is used to obtain a textured impression on a wet layer;
  • rollers to create a grass pattern or the formation of horizontal chaotic and even stripes;
  • A plastic bag, a rubber glove, or a simple brush will also come in handy when forming a volume effect.

Practically any object that has textural shapes will come in handy. It is they who during the processing will leave a characteristic imprint on the raw plaster. For example, if you want to imitate skin on a wall, then for this you need to apply a roller with a special nozzle. Many interesting drawings can be obtained by working with a simple spatula. In this case, it is worth picking up several options for a tool with different widths.

Experts and psychologists say that the embossed plaster provides unlimited possibilities for the manifestation of fantasy. Therefore, creative people love to perform this process on their own to develop their talent and abilities. And parents attract children to work so that they can also contribute to the renovation of the house, especially when it comes to the children's room.

Apply a small amount of finishing material on the wall and experiment with a variety of objects.

Necessary materials

Besides the fact that before the work is carried out appropriate tools are selected, it is also important to take care of the purchase of all necessary materials. To not miss anything, it is enough to follow the compiled list.

Leveling compounds. With their help, you can eliminate the defects on the wall. The store has such offers:

  • gypsum base (used only if the finish will be made of the same material);
  • cement base (to save money, you can make the mixture yourself in a simple proportion: 3 parts of sand and 1 part of cement);
  • clay (despite its ecological and plastic properties, this technology is rarely used in modern construction).

Finishing mixture. Manufacturers produce a large range of products intended for the formation of decorative relief. To make the right choice, you should carefully examine the packaging, as manufacturers indicate for which type of textures a particular composition is intended. It is worth noting that the mixture is often heterogeneous, since in their manufacture different sets and proportions of components are included.

Primers. Here is where to roam. To date, you can find compositions that come in two forms: liquid and paste. Experts recommend before applying the starting layer to process the walls with antiseptic compounds with deep penetration.

Paints. Pay attention to water-based, water-dispersion and emulsion coloring compositions. The color is selected individually. For original solutions, it is best to buy special dyes and a white base in order to independently set the desired shade.

Varnish If you cover the painted wall with lacquer, you can extend the life of the decorative finish.

In some cases, masking tape will be appropriate in the work, which will not allow the dye to get to a certain area.

Water-dispersion paints are best suited for painting relief plaster.

Working process

To make a high-quality finish, you should familiarize yourself with all the details of each stage, which are provided in this process.

Surface preparation

A very important condition for any finish is not only clean and dry walls, but also the absence of any defects. That is why the surface before plastering must be processed as follows:

  • removal of old coatings;
  • the old coating must be completely removed, and if the layer is strong, then on it with an ax, chisel or perforator with a pike make shallow notches for better grip;
  • dust removal;
  • applying a deep penetration primer (for reliability it is better to repeat).

Only after complete drying can you proceed to the next stage.

In most cases, a complete cleansing of the treated area from the old finish to the base is required.

Reason

To obtain a smooth and smooth surface, plastering of the walls is performed. The mortar is kneaded using a construction mixer, if not, then you can use an electric drill with a special nozzle. You should not make a large batch, as many solutions quickly enough to seize.

The finished mortar is poured with a trowel or with a spatula on the wall, depending on the desired thickness. For convenience, you can use construction beacons that will allow you to perform the process more accurately and smoothly. Rubbed solution float circular motions counterclockwise. After drying, the surface is again primed.

The thickness of the starting layer of plaster depends on the flatness of the walls and the presence of defects.

Creation of a relief

The most interesting part is creating the conceived relief on the wall. As mentioned above, here you need to show your imagination and use a variety of items that you have at home. It is very important to pay attention to the solution - it must be homogeneous. Except for those cases where it is required to use a heterogeneous composition.

  1. Putty knife. To create a relief with a spatula, several techniques are used, for example, short strokes, long ribbons and various turns. After surface treatment, the pattern thus obtained can be left or smoothed. Add a volume of properly selected paint color.
  2. Staple-comb. Uncomplicated and correct figures can be obtained by processing a wet plaster comb. In addition, by creating stripes in a certain direction, you can visually expand the space in the desired direction or increase the ceiling.
  3. Brush. A simple iron brush like a staple comb can be used to create a variety of lines, only thinner and larger.
  4. Polyethylene film. There are also several options: the film is crumpled or neatly applied to the wet layer, and then removed. So that the wall does not have too expressive and sharp elements, they are compared with a large spatula.
  5. Roller. No less diverse possibilities for the formation of drawings. In the building stores are sold ready nozzles, which remains to be put on the roller and begin to work. If you want more individuality, you can make the nozzle yourself. For this fit the most simple materials: thread, rope, fur, sponge, polyethylene, rubber and much more. It is only necessary to show imagination.
  6. Carved nozzle. Special attention should be paid to the nozzles for the roller with an internal pattern. After the plaster has been applied and smoothed it is sufficient to hold it with a roller with a slight pressure. As a result, the pattern will be convex. If desired, it can be painted with tassels.
  7. By pulling the float on the wet layer, you can get horizontal and vertical stripes. Circles or semicircles are also created.

It will be interesting to look at the pattern performed by a conventional metal mesh for washing dishes.

Paint application

Upon completion of the plastering and finishing work, painting is performed. There are only two options:

  1. Single color staining. Paint of a certain shade is purchased and dyeing is carried out.
  2. Self-receiving shade. White paint is taken as a base to which pigments can be added. Professionals recommend spilling paint in several containers and adding a different amount of color. As a result, a larger picture will appear on the wall.

Coloring can be carried out using various means, depending on the relief created (its depth):

  • roller;
  • brush;
  • spray gun.

Artists often paint relief plasters with brushes to get the desired picture or the whole wall panel.

Note that when drying, the color of the painted surface will be a couple of tones lighter than the applied.

The final stroke in the creation of embossed plaster will be the application of a protective coating. These tools can also be found in the hardware store. In addition to protection, they will help give the wall a certain shade:

  • pearl;
  • golden;
  • silver, etc.

With the help of the above-described method of finishing, you can transform the interior of the room and decorate the walls in an original way.
