White façade putty for exterior use. Application of façade putty and its features

Facade putty for exterior construction work, how the material, in addition to the leveling function, protects external walls structures from negative impact weather conditions - moisture, frost. It comes in several forms. Mixtures with a paste consistency are used immediately after purchase, as they are already ready for use. When buying dry powder, you will have to work hard and prepare the mixture yourself at home.

Exterior works

Ready material packed in buckets. Despite the ease of use of this putty, the transportation process is not as convenient as in the case of the dry version.

Facade putty and ready-made in various consistencies. It depends on the manufacturer and purpose of the material.

The compositions are classified into:

Starter – the material is considered as a leveling or base material.
Finishing – composition used on last stage carrying out external work. The material is fine-grained with a liquid consistency. Unlike the starting version, this façade putty not so durable, but the end result is high quality. This is possible due to its advantageous properties - easy and thin application (0.4 mm layer), flexibility for processing (grinding).
Universal - the material includes the advantages of the two previous options, and is not used for external work on facades.
Decorative - the composition is used to form objects for decorative purposes or create elements of stucco decorations fixed to the building from the outside.
Facade putty for wood - used for the external walls of a wooden building to level the surface to a smooth state. In addition, the mixture is used as protection for wood that is vulnerable to weather conditions. It is suitable in cases where the cladding is made of wood.

Another option for facade putty

There are products based on cement, which tolerates moisture and low temperatures, or polymer.

Group polymer materials includes acrylic/latex mixtures.

Advantages of acrylic-based material:

Convenient to use.
Easy to use.
Quick drying period, not accompanied by cracking or shrinkage.
No water is added to achieve the desired consistency.

Characteristics of stable mixtures for outdoor use

For external work, special mixture options are provided. They exhibit increased resistance to weather conditions and have appropriate technical characteristics.

Facade putty with waterproof properties – shining example practical approach to choice building materials.

It has the following advantages:

A reliable level of protection from moisture - evaporation, condensation accumulation or heavy rain will not cause serious damage to the building.
Easy to apply, easy to spread over the surface.
Application does not take much time, which allows you not to delay the preparation of the walls.
It is also used indoors, which helps with renovations in bathhouses, bathrooms, and industrial premises.

The cost is low, and taking into account the advantages, this composition can be safely called convenient and practical. Recommended use on preparatory stage before painting.

The video review will tell you how to work with putty compounds when processing facades:

Another popular option among consumers is frost-resistant putty. It is characterized easy application, perceives the neighborhood well various types plaster. Facade mixture with resistance to low temperatures is most often used to fill cracks and eliminate other facade defects.

The composition is considered universal. Work is not limited to specific weather conditions. Frost-resistant putty is both practical and reliable. The cost is more expensive than a waterproof mixture, but the benefits are much greater.

On modern market There are materials with heat-resistant characteristics.

Purpose of façade putties

As mentioned above, facade putty is used not only for leveling the surface during construction. There are a couple more advantages that should not be kept silent about:

she performs protective functions from the harmful effects of weather factors and any mechanical damage;
acts as a soundproofing and heat-insulating material.

Composition and properties

The main properties of facade finishing putties are:

high adhesive properties;
plastic;
moisture resistance;
frost resistance;
resistance to cracking and fading;
resistance to any temperature changes;
excellent compatibility with any paint and varnish materials.

The finishing composition contains several components that provide all of the listed properties, first of all, cement, gypsum and chalk, followed by mineral, marble and modifying additives and fillers. as well as plasticizers.

Cooking technology

If you purchased a dry mixture for finishing external surfaces, then you will have to dilute it. If you have never done this, then first of all study the instructions on the packaging; usually manufacturers indicate not only the guidance process but also the required proportions.

The standard guidance scheme looks like this:

The dry mixture is poured into the prepared water and stirred gently. The amount of water and mixture is taken strictly in proportion.
The solution is mixed in several ways: manually, which is quite labor-intensive and time-consuming, or using a drill, in which case the finished mixture will be more homogeneous.
After mixing, stand for 5 minutes and mix again.

The calculation of the required quantity is carried out experimentally, first small portion solution and measure the area you treated, according to this the required volume of the finishing mixture is calculated.

In contact with

Puttying walls is an integral stage of both internal and external finishing works, because it is this process that allows you to level the surface as efficiently as possible and prepare the base of the walls of the house for finishing. Unlike putty, intended for indoor repairs, more serious requirements are put forward for the external appearance of this material, since high and low temperatures, humidity and, of course, frost are characteristic of our climatic zone, directly affect the walls of the building. Therefore, this article will be devoted to the consideration of the features of putty for external work and the technology of its application.

Purpose of putty for exterior use

Putty - This is a special mixture with which various types of defects are eliminated, seams, chips, small and more significant cracks and roughness in order to create the most even surface of a wall built using materials such as brick, concrete, foam concrete, gypsum, stone and any others.

As a rule, putty for exterior use includes components such as cement, special mineral and modifying additives, as well as plasticizers. So, exactly these ingredients give the necessary properties to a material intended for outdoor use. To the undeniable benefits putties can be classified as:

environmentally friendly material and safety for human health;
durability to various weather conditions in the form of high and low temperatures, their sudden changes, as well as precipitation;
absence of unpleasant and uncomfortable odors;
resistance to influence ultraviolet rays and surface fading;
enough high plasticity rates;
The vapor permeability characteristic of the material allows the walls of the house to breathe;
possibility of subsequent painting or purchasing ready-made color finishing mixtures.

Putty for external work is usually divided into two categories, namely starting and finishing. The first consists of coarse-grained components and is intended for rough surface finishing. Due to the fact that the cost of this material much less finishing putty, it is recommended to level the walls as accurately as possible with its help. In addition, higher adhesion rates contribute to better adhesion to materials such as brick, concrete, limestone, etc.

Finishing putty, having fine-grained structure, it is applied for final processing surface and eliminating small irregularities that were not hidden by the starting layer. It has higher strength indicators and, if necessary, a wide range of colors. On the construction market, putty is presented both in dry form and in ready-made form, which does not require prior dilution with water.

Types of putty for exterior use, their advantages and disadvantages

Depending on the production technology and mixture components, there are the following types façade putty:

Preparatory work before puttingtying external walls

First of all, you need to choose the right day with favorable weather conditions. The best option for working with this material it is considered air temperature condition within 5−25° C and humidity not higher than 70−80%. The wet layer of putty applied to the wall should not come into contact with direct sunlight, a humid environment, or low temperatures.

Tools And materials You won’t need too much, but still the list of preliminary targeted purchases should consist of the following items:

capacity in which the solution will be mixed;
for convenience, you can use drill with mixer attachment for mixing the solution;
respirator and mask necessary in the process of grinding the surface of some types of putty;
roller or brush for applying the primer mixture;
metal spatulas, the width of which, as a rule, ranges from 450 to 600 mm;
grater or diamond mesh for grinding the surface;
primer deep penetration;
starting and finishing putty.

Preparatory work includes cleaning the surface from various contaminants, poorly adhering layers old decoration, as well as deletion greasy stains, possible traces of fungus and other types of dirt.

Features of the process of filling external walls

Applying putty to the wall does not present any particular difficulty, but at the same time it is a rather delicate job, the approach to which should be based on patience, accuracy and attentiveness. After all the above have been carried out preparatory work you can begin the process of filling the walls, which is divided into the following steps:

This completes the filling of the external walls of the house. The most important rules that must be followed include, firstly, the complete drying of each layer of putty, and secondly, maintaining proportions when mixing the solution. Everything else depends on your desire, skills and financial capabilities.

Video of wall putty

The walls of my friend's house were erected, and Vadik called me to stand in Once again his teacher. Facade putty was purchased different varieties. My house builder wanted to know how it was different and how to apply it correctly.
We began finishing the façade with a debate about how to spell the word “putty” correctly, with the letter K or T. I argued that the test word was “putty.” My learned friend found its meaning in German- shoulder blade. Many decades ago, having come to Russia, an unknown word was repeated, as it was perceived by ear in a foreign sound - putty. Even orthographic dictionary accepted both words.
A sales consultant at a hardware store judged us. He had both options on his labels. He said with a straight face that the action of leveling surfaces is putty. And the mixture itself, especially from German manufacturers Knauf, Pufas, Rudel and others, is putty. In general, this is plaster for exterior use. The putty is produced as finishing facade.

Putty is a plaster for exterior use.

Why putty the facade of a building and the procedure for working

The materials from which the walls are laid are mostly hygroscopic. Brick and aerated concrete, wood absorb moisture. The solution also gets wet. At the same time, they lose their property of low thermal conductivity and the houses become damp and cold. In winter, the water freezes and the crystals destroy the wall from the inside.
To protect walls from rain and sun rays, façade putty is used. The outer layer of finishing has low thermal conductivity and acts as insulation. At the same time it is a decorative decoration of the building.

The façade is finished in several stages:

Installation of thermal insulation if additional insulation is being done.
Cleaning the surface from dust and coating with a primer.
Carrying out work on rough leveling the surface with starting putty, mainly cement.
Final wall finishing using waterproof finishing mixture, in the northern regions - frost-resistant.
Decorative finishing and painting.

Facade putty is also a decorative decoration of the building

Need to know: B major cities, historical areas, on the territory of architectural monuments, before finishing the facade, it is necessary to issue a Color Passport. Colors and decor must correspond to those specified in the document.

Produced façade putty in several stages. Large defects are smoothed out first. Then the finishing putty is applied. The list of works for finishing the facade of a house may include painting. Material consumption is calculated per 1 m2 and depends on the size of the irregularities, the characteristics of the mixture itself, and its components.
Preparing walls for exterior work for all types of façade putties involves cleaning the surface. All areas where the solution does not adhere well and may crumble are removed. The protrusions are knocked down. It is necessary to remove all dirt and sweep away dust. To increase adhesion, it is advisable to prime. The exception is cement putty, under which the wall can simply be slightly moistened.

Facade putty

Required qualities of façade putties

The putty should:

Have high adhesion and adhere to any material from which the walls are made;
be plastic;
easy to level with a spatula;
harden without cracking;
turn into a solid mass;
easy to clean;
good paint coverage.

Puttying the facade

Facade putties have additional characteristics:

waterproof;
frost-resistant;
UV protection;
repels dust.

The main qualities that facade putty has are aimed at protecting the walls of the house from moisture and temperature changes. The microclimate is maintained in the building due to the low thermal conductivity of the protective layer. The walls breathe and remain dry because dew does not form inside the wall. UV protection preserves long time bright paint color. The walls do not require constant cleaning of dirt, since it does not stick.

Cement-based putty

Specifications include:

time of ripening and complete drying;
thickness of the applied layer at a time;
material consumption per 1m2;
simple and combined;
for use inside and outside;
dry mixtures and ready-to-use formulations.

Cement-based putties

On initial stage finishing the walls from the outside, puttingtying the facade is done with a cement-based composition with sand. Lime, gypsum, synthetic fibers and other materials can be added as plasticizers. To give decorative look, the putty is painted. Color selection is limited. More often they use whitewashing of walls and finishing with synthetic materials.
The main manufacturers of cement putty are Knauf and Staratel. They release big choice finishing materials, single-component and mixed. Consumption per 1m2 depends on the thickness of the layer and the unevenness of the surface. It is indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging as the optimal characteristics for this finishing material. The dry mixture is usually packaged in 20 kg paper bags.
The disadvantage of cement putty is its hygroscopicity. Without a protective layer of synthetic, acrylic, silicone mixture of Staratel, Rudel, Pufas and Knauf, it is quickly destroyed by rain and frost.

Grain size of cement plaster

Acrylic putties for exterior use

For façade protection work, acrylic plaster is produced:

for leveling walls;
finishing color and for painting;
decorative

It is applied in a layer of up to 8 mm and its consumption per 1 m2 is significantly less than cement. The main component is acrylic, which is approximately 2 times lighter than cement and sand. Available in ready-to-use form. One package is enough to finish 15 - 17 m2.

Acrylic putty

Knauf products

The German company Knauf is known as a supplier of building materials for all types of finishing work. It produces multi-component putties. The most popular acrylic universal. The addition of gypsum and mineral fibers makes it plastic and water-resistant. The walls beneath her are breathing. Consumption per 1m2 is small. Due to this, it is more profitable than cheaper cement mixtures.
Acrylic decorative mixture Knauf is used for finishing facades and interiors. A large palette of colors allows you to create original finishes with unique combinations of tones and pressed patterns.

Putty Knauf

Putties from Prospectors

The Russian company Prospector produces its products using German technologies. The composition includes domestic components and imported additives. Consumption per 1m2 is higher than that of foreign analogues. When recalculating the costs of finishing the entire facade, domestic products Staratel are more profitable than similar ones from Knauf. The cost of materials is much lower, since the cost of transportation and purchase of components is minimal.
Acrylic putty for exterior work by the company Staratel is produced with the addition of abrasive and fine granite crushed stone. It has a high consumption due to heavy fillers. This Staratel mixture is used to finish the base and protruding foundation. Possesses high strength, moisture and frost resistance.

Putty Prospectors

In the presence of large quantity products from different companies, mainly two manufacturers compete in the market: Knauf and Starateli. The building materials of both companies are of high quality. Everyone makes their own choice. My friend made calculations based on cost, expense and economic benefit. I tried using different putties. I couldn't make a choice. Each putty has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Preliminary wall finishing and why it is needed

The average cost of a bag of dry putty is $14-15 (acrylic putty is slightly more expensive), and a small bag of cement costs less than $5, so it’s clear why you need to do this preliminary finishing facades of buildings. It is worth saying that cement-sand plaster has excellent adhesion to “wet” finishing building materials. This quality allows the plaster to be used with almost any type of building decoration.

Detailed video tutorial on the technology of installing a “wet” facade

Let's consider the entire set of “wet facade” complete with insulation. In this case, the walls are treated with a deeply penetrating primer so that the adhesive for the insulation has excellent adhesion to the coating. Then the foam insulation sticker is applied.

On next stage it is necessary to putty with starting putty, then glue the foam with glue like Ceresit CM-11 ( in fact, this is facade plaster). Reinforcement is also performed plaster mesh made of fiberglass. Thus, the wall covering is leveled, and the consumption of putty for the facade is minimized. This will significantly save money on finishing the house.

At the finishing " wet facade“There are some features and rules that allow you to minimize the consumption of expensive building materials. Using this cladding method, it is possible to perfectly decorate a building, create comfort inside it, and achieve good thermal insulation. Today, many people use this type of building decoration because it is very effective, economical and practical.

Finishing putties

Before applying the finishing putty to the walls you need to know the features of this building material. When choosing, you need to take into account what the rough surface is like. better type putty, paste, dry powder, which can be either oil or adhesive, latex, acrylic or a combination.

Types of putties

Plasters differ in composition and texture

Today putties are mainly produced from silicone, silicate, acrylic, and they can also be combined. We can confidently say that the best putties and adhesives are from Ceresit. To perform puttying, use a metal or stainless steel spatula of the required width. It is also called a “facade spatula,” although it is also used for interior construction work. If necessary, the dried solution can be processed sandpaper or diamond mesh.

For putties used for exterior finishing, the main condition is the high quality of binding materials - acrylic, silicone and minerals, which are responsible for the hardness, impact resistance and moisture resistance of the putty.

It is worth saying that when working with these building materials there are absolutely no toxic odors, they are absolutely harmless to health.

Not any finishing putty, even the highest quality, can be used for exterior finishing. For example, the Vetonit powder mixture is excellent for finishing indoors, but it cannot be used for exterior finishing and even for finishing rooms with high humidity(for example, baths).

Application Features

Let's look at how to apply acrylic facade putty and dry mixture to already prepared walls.

When using dry putty for finishing, you need to take 1/3 of a bucket of water and pour the powder into it, then mix the mixture thoroughly using a mixer or a low-speed drill until the structure of the mixture reaches a consistency reminiscent of mashed potatoes. Then you need to wait until the mixture sits for 5 minutes and beat it again. Only after this the solution can be applied to the wall.

Finishing

At finishing facade, the putty solution is applied to the wall with the usual wide spatula, but at the same time the mixture is pulled out of the bucket with a narrow spatula 7-15 cm, after which it is applied to the entire blade of a wide spatula. It all depends on the skills and skill of the worker. Someone treats the coating with one spatula so that after that there is no need to sand it. Some people use it in their work to speed up the application process. building code, and then finishes the plane with a spatula.

Finishing the façade with putty

The most important thing when finishing is not to stop the process of applying any plane, that is, any area on the wall should not have joints with the undried area that was applied earlier, so that after completion of the work there are no seams on the surface. Transitions to any protrusions on the wall, as well as the finishing of another wall, have nothing to do with this.

Both new and old houses require exterior decoration, and today it is increasingly used wet method facade finishing. In order to level the walls, seal the joints between slabs or bricks, and then apply the finishing decor with plaster or tiles, façade putty is used. The article will tell you about the types of this finishing material and the technology for working with it.

Leveling walls is one of the most labor-intensive and important processes in facade finishing. Without it, many other design works become simply impossible. appearance Houses. For example, plastering a surface can only be done perfectly smooth walls, and overlaying and gluing insulation onto an unprepared base is impossible.

The words putty or putty come from German word“Spachtel” – spatula, the use of both options is quite acceptable, so in the further story you will be able to see both. In addition to leveling, putty performs another important function - sealing potholes and cracks in the wall. This is what it was originally used for.

Requirements for facade putty material

Based on the purpose of façade putty, it has a number of requirements that must be taken into account when purchasing.

Plastic. This property is characteristic of a high-quality solution. If the material does not have it, then there is a serious danger of cracking of the coating and its destruction from atmospheric vibrations.
Vapor permeability. The most important property All types of facade finishing materials should also have putty. If it is missing, then the fumes will accumulate under the leveling layer and destroy it from the inside.
Moisture resistance. The ability to repel atmospheric moisture and not allow it to pass inside protects not only the putty coating itself, but also the facade of the house. Water can remain in the pores, and when frozen, expand and destroy it.
Frost resistance. Cracking from frost or seasonal temperature differences can also affect the main covering of the wall, so frost resistance is very important quality for putty mortar.

Materials and tools for puttying

Classification of putties by purpose

All putties for facade works are divided into two types: starting and finishing. Usually both are required. Before purchasing, inquire about the purpose and type of material so as not to buy unnecessary things. In addition, you need to decide which putty you need more and in what quantity.

Starting

The structure of this composition should be coarse-grained and have increased strength and high adhesiveness. It smooths out the main unevenness of the wall, seals structural cracks and potholes on the facade that require repair. Often used to eliminate uneven masonry or defects concrete walls. The composition can be applied in a fairly thick layer - up to 4 mm. For strength, particles of marble dust and lime are often added to the starting mixture. They give it the necessary elasticity and adhesion to the surface of the building. Most often, cement compounds are used for the starting layer, and polymer binders give the putty elasticity.

Attention! When purchasing a starting putty mixture, make sure that it is intended for facades. Compositions for interior work Use for external walls is unacceptable.

Starting putty

Finish

The final putty coating must be plastic, smooth, waterproof, have good adhesion and strength. Most often, a mixture based on acrylic or silicate binders is used - they are more consistent with the goal of creating a smooth and uniform layer. Finishing putty It is used to level the surface, and therefore the particles of which it consists must be small.

The finely dispersed structure allows you to create a perfectly even base for future decorative coating. Experienced finishers recommend applying the finishing putty in several steps with a layer of about 3 mm. Do not use mixtures for leveling coating that are difficult to mix with colors. If in the future you are going to finish the walls decorative plaster or paint, it is better to tint the finishing putty in the appropriate shade, otherwise it may show through the main finish.

Types of facade putties based on the base

The building materials market offers a wide selection of putty compositions. Manufacturers, prices, types of mixtures can confuse any inexperienced finisher. Let's try to understand the main types.

Reinforcing mesh under cement

Cement

Such putties are considered the best for applying a starting layer and for filling cracks and potholes in the wall. Cement-based mixtures usually consist of cement, lime flour with fractions of 0.2 mm, quartz sand and marble dust. To improve the performance, chemical additives are added to it. The surface covered with starting cement putty looks perfectly smooth, but is quite rough due to the coarse-grained structure of the material. The finishing cement putty has a finely dispersed structure and comes in several colors: gray, beige and yellow. White cement putty is almost impossible to find these days. Since its bleaching requires expensive compounds, which increase the cost of the finished mixture. It is available in the form of powders and ready-made mixtures in buckets. U liquid material there are also disadvantages.

The strong shrinkage of the dried mixture must be taken into account when sealing cracks.
If the liquid cement composition is applied in a thick layer, then the likelihood of cracking is very high.

In order to prevent the destruction of the cement coating, a reinforcing mesh is applied during the work.

The advantages of cement compositions outweigh their minor disadvantages.

Ease of use allows even an inexperienced finisher to work with it.
Cement is a durable material and guarantees high levels of frost resistance, density and weather resistance.
It has an affordable price and is therefore very suitable for surface treatment large area, which is typical for building facades.

Important! Never mix cement putty with varnishes, paints and glue so that it does not lose its properties.

Grain of cement finish

When purchasing cement compositions, pay attention to the brand of cement, compressive strength and level of adhesion.

Plaster

Plastering with a gypsum mixture is one of the easiest ways to putty the surface of a facade. It is very easy to work with gypsum because it has a flexible, light structure and can be leveled well. Plastic makes it possible not only to easily level, but also to accurately form corners and perform other shaped work on the facade of a building. Positive aspects include good vapor permeability, frost resistance, smoothness, and easy coloring. The lack of shrinkage allows you to make a layer as thick as you like and apply it in one go.

But there are also negative sides. If you live in rainy, humid areas, it is better to use gypsum to a minimum, as it absorbs moisture quite well and can be destroyed under its influence. On the other side, gypsum mixture It dries very quickly, so working with it under the scorching sun is not recommended.

By purchasing gypsum plaster, pay attention to the manufacturer. It is better to take proven brands. This way you will protect yourself from rapid damage to the facade and will be confident that the mineral additives contained in the composition are of high quality, which means the coating will last longer.

Gypsum plaster can be applied in one layer

Acrylic

These Decoration Materials There are starting and finishing points. Possessing everyone necessary properties, acrylic mixtures can and should be used for facade work. They are sold ready-made, which makes their use even easier. Facade putty made of acrylic has good adhesive properties, but it is applied to a previously primed surface, since the putty layer is quite thin. The only disadvantage of acrylic mixtures is that the higher price compared to previous products does not allow it to be used over large areas as a starting layer. Most often it is used for finishing.

Latex and acrylate

These types of putty materials are designed for extreme conditions and therefore are used for outdoor work. They are even more moisture-resistant and frost-resistant than conventional acrylic composition. Its durability and ductility have earned recognition from builders and finishers around the world. Latex and acrylate do not crack when dry and do not shrink. High adhesive properties make it possible to further strengthen the protection of building walls and make the bond with the subsequent decorative coating more durable. Latex mixtures come in the most different colors and therefore do not require additional staining. The thinnest layer This composition forms an ideal finishing coating. There are such starting and finishing plasters, but their too high price is their main drawback.

Colored latex putties

How to choose the right putty for the facade

The characteristics of the putty and knowledge of which material is best to apply in certain cases will help you make the right choice.

When insulating a facade with polystyrene foam, polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam, it is better to use latex and acrylic texture. Use the same types of finishing mixtures when walls have poor permeability, for example, on concrete or metal.
If you live in cold zones where frost is a frequent visitor, then use a special frost-resistant putty.
Do not use oil-based products for facade work, but if you do purchase them, remember that you only have to paint them oil paint, since other paints will not adhere to drying oil plaster. But if your house is made of wood, then oil-based façade putty is a good choice.
Try not to use materials different manufacturers, price categories and types. If you started working with one, try to finish the process of puttying the walls with the same composition. Remember that the materials may not be compatible with each other! It is for this reason that it is better to immediately calculate the quantity of the product and assess your financial capabilities.
When calculating the amount of material, proceed from the thickness of the layer you need to apply. The thinner the coating, the less putty is consumed.

Dry polymer cement plaster mixture

Main manufacturers and prices

One of the most recognized manufacturers in the building materials market is Ceresit. Polymer-cement plasters from this manufacturer differ not only high quality, but also low cost. They are made from a cement-sand mixture with the addition of polymer additives And synthetic fibers for plasticity. These mixtures are characterized by high vapor permeability, fire safety, long shelf life, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, Ceresit putties differ from many in color. These are white mixtures, which is rare among cement compositions.
Synthetic plasters from this company are produced in finished form and meet the requirements of facade materials. Acrylic based acrylic resins, polymer silicate and polymer silicone compounds are used for finishing walls. They are characterized by increased resistance to deformation, moisture resistant and elastic. Properties acrylic materials you can study it from the photo in the table.
The global manufacturer of building materials, Knauf, has a strong position in the sale of plaster and putty compositions. It produces finishing cement mixtures in dry form, which significantly saves money on facade finishing. Packaging in 25 kg multi finishing cement mixture costs about 600 rubles.

Characteristics of acrylic putty materials Ceresit

The Prospectors company has proven itself to be excellent in the domestic market. It offers various façade mixtures at low prices at good quality. Weber Vetonit finishing putties have been in demand for many years. This dry polymer product for facade work has a low cost - about 600 rubles.

Finishing work

Technology for applying starting putty

The simplest and most popular method is beacon plaster.

We begin to plaster the wall. To do this, let's take right hand trowel, and in the left mortar and with a sharp movement we throw the mortar onto the wall. After this, use a trowel or grater to rub the putty mixture over the surface.

Grouting the mixture

The whole process is well shown in the video. Pay attention to the technique of throwing the mortar onto the wall.

Plastering walls on beacons

Finishing putty process

The technology for finishing with finishing putty material is similar to working with a starting solution. After the starting layer has completely dried, apply the finishing layer in the same way: using a trowel, apply the mortar to the wall and rub it in. The only difference is that the coating thickness is minimal, and rubbing must be very thorough, since this process is followed by application decorative covering. You can use several methods of grouting putty: in a circle and in a running manner.

When finishing, it is important not to interrupt the process of processing the wall. Try to calculate the time for finishing entire sections of the facade.

Methods for grouting putty

As you can see, façade putty can be applied with your own hands; all you need is a little patience. Preparing the walls for decorative finishing yourself, you save a lot of money, which you can spend on better quality material.
