Attention to details when renovating old houses with wall paint

      Autumn is the season for home decoration, and both new and old house renovations can be carried out as soon as possible. Especially in the renovation of old houses, after long-term use, the walls of the house, which were originally snow-white or bright and eye-catching, have become dull and aging. But renovating an old house is not simply about repainting the original walls, so what should be noted during the renovation process?

1. Cleaning the wall

Before renovating an old house, it is necessary to do wall base treatment. Those with severe powdering should be completely removed, and a layer of white cement should be applied after removal. Previously, if the wall was too smooth and had been painted, it would need to be polished to remove the loose skin, making it easier for the new paint to bond with the wall.

2. Apply primer

The function of wall primer is to resist alkali and moisture, seal the substrate, protect the topcoat, and improve the texture and coverage of the topcoat. For the renovation of old houses, it is necessary to apply primer to the walls. If you apply paint directly without applying primer, over time, the walls are prone to problems such as blistering and mold.

3. Mix the paint evenly

Before construction, it is necessary to pay attention to mixing the wall paint evenly, especially for colored wall paint. If not mixed evenly, when the color paste in the wall paint is unevenly dispersed or precipitated due to long-term storage, the construction will cause the phenomenon of decorative effect and flower on the surface.

4. Dilution ratio

To obtain an ideal paint film, the dilution must be appropriate, please refer to the instructions for specific situations. Moreover, it is important to estimate the amount and prepare enough at once to ensure consistent wall color and avoid any color differences when re mixed due to insufficient usage.

5. Painting frequency

Some people may think that if they apply it multiple times, the paint will not stretch and fall off, but in fact, even if they apply it 10 times, high-quality wall paint will not fall off. Paint peeling is usually caused by the putty becoming damp and loose. In this case, even if one or two coats of paint are applied, it will still fall off. However, there is no need to apply so many coats of wall paint. Simply apply one coat of primer and two coats of topcoat to the wall, while applying a few more coats of dark paint is necessary.
