Why paint a wooden house from the inside

Even the highest quality and most expensive wood, which is lined with inside the house, requires special processing.

What paints are suitable for interior use

Before painting a wooden house inside, you need to get acquainted with the composition of the coloring materials for processing such surfaces.

Paints for interior decoration of a wooden house can be:

• Water based with added artificial or natural ingredientswhich may be:

1. impregnation;
2. stains.

• Synthetic based with different polymer resins:

1. varnishes;
2. paints;
3. enamels.

These compounds can be divided into three types:

• Coating paints. In this case, the surface of the wood is covered with a completely thick layer of oil or polymer opaque film, which forms a paint and varnish material. This is a fairly strong protective coating with the desired color or shade. The internal structure of the wood used is completely hidden under a layer of paint and becomes invisible. These characteristics are most often possessed by synthetic or oil paints and enamels.
• Translucent or transparent varnishes on the wood surface form a thick layer of tinted or transparent film. The shade of a translucent polymer or oil film is preselected. After drying, a strong protective coating is obtained that does not hide, and sometimes even emphasizes the entire structure of the wood, preserving its natural color or giving the material the necessary shade. Between themselves, they can differ in the degree of reflectivity, after drying, you can get the surface:
  1. glossy;
  2. semi-matte;
  3. matte.

  These properties are oil or synthetic. coverings from varnish.

• Lessing compositions. For their manufacture, water or a synthetic base is used, these are penetrating solutions.They almost do not leave any film on the wooden surface, but penetrate deep into the material and create a protective layer in the thickness of the wood. After application to the surface, it can be colorless or acquire the desired shade, preserving and emphasizing the structure of the material. Such compositions are made as stains or tinting and antiseptic impregnations.

Tip: Before painting with your own hands on wooden surfaces, regardless of purpose, they should be coated with a primer with antiseptic and fire fighting compounds.

How to choose a material for painting

When painting a wooden house from the inside, it is necessary to select a composition for the surfaces that provides their best protection, and at the same time has the greatest practicality in applying decorative decoration to the room. It is better to give preference to paints and impregnations made on a water basis with components only from natural materials.

Such materials:

• Environmentally friendly.
• No harmful substances.
• Do not have unpleasant odors.
• The glazing properties emphasize the natural structure of natural wood.

In this case:

• To increase the protective properties and create the full effect of perceiving the texture of the tree, the surfaces are covered with several layers of glossy, as in the photo, or semi-gloss varnish. In this case, all layers should be well dried.

Application of glossy varnish to the surface

• When decorating the walls with lining, it is better to perform the treatment by colorless impregnation, and then apply one or two layers of glossy varnish (see How to paint the lining: what to choose).
• You can preserve the natural color of the tree and give it a light shade using glossy colored varnishes, which help to slightly change the tone of the surface and focus on the texture of the wood itself.
• For interior decoration, you can use acrylate paints made on a water basis, which after drying create a strong, but quite flexible, breathable coating layer that does not interfere with the removal of moisture from the wood. Despite the fact that the price of the material is quite high, it pays for their durability, the service life is at least 10 years.
• When painting the floor from the floorboard, it is necessary to use special enamel oil or alkyd enamels that form a sufficient thickness of the wear-resistant surface coating (see How and how to paint a wooden floor).

Tip: When decorating rooms that are poorly ventilated, they have high humidity, usually a bathroom, a bathroom, it is necessary to select special moisture-resistant and quick-drying paints containing antifungal and antiseptic additives.
