Many homeowners opt for economical paint finishes when selecting wall treatments for their interiors, yet remain largely unaware of the painting process involved. Today we shall outline the typical steps in wall decoration and key considerations to bear in mind.
Firstly, it's important to note that wall painting falls under the category of decorative painting within the renovation process. A painter's workflow generally comprises the following stages: surface preparation, applying filler, sanding, illuminating with a 1000-watt tungsten lamp, followed by further sanding and final spraying. If you engage a professional renovation firm for the work, they will itemise costs for each step. However, labourers in the market typically quote fixed prices to contractors and foremen working for renovation companies. The reason they detail the process so meticulously is simply to make it seem more professional. What you need to understand is that painters rely on a set of skills to complete the job; each stage isn't charged separately. So, if you hire a worker just to apply the plaster and don't want them to paint, you still have to pay their full wage. This point must be understood from the outset.
Based on my experience, here is what I would do:
Levelling and smoothing the walls is crucial. I generally recommend three coats of filler. Nowadays, to save time, workers simply sand repeatedly, but if they want perfectly flat walls, the effect of multiple layers of filler is quite different.
For wall painting, the texture produced by large and small rollers differs. If your room's area is less than eight square metres, it is advisable to use a four-inch small roller brush, as this will yield a superior finish compared to a large roller. When selecting rollers, opt for higher quality options where possible. When applying paint, remember never to add water to either the primer or topcoat. Excessive dilution can easily result in a mottled finish. However, note that some paints are excessively thick and may contain sediment, resulting in circular particles after application. Therefore, after completing the first coat of topcoat, sand away any small particles. Remember, the first coat must be inspected by the painter using an iodine-tungsten lamp. Any unevenness should be rectified immediately.
If you have several tins of paint in the same colour at home, be sure to pour all these tins of identical paint into one container and stir thoroughly. There may still be oil present. Once the walls are smooth, remember to clean the dust from the socket panel boxes before applying the primer, as the walls are painted with a roller brush and the boxes can easily transfer dust onto the walls. Generally, experienced craftsmen will first use a hairdryer to blow it clean. Some may suggest using textured wallpaper, but this approach has drawbacks. If the wallpaper isn't applied correctly, tearing it off can pull away sections of the wall covering beneath, creating an unsightly result. You may choose this option based on your specific circumstances.
The mural must be painted strictly adhering to the specified intervals between coats. Do not compromise due to the painter's haste, as this will lead to severe colour discrepancies. Therefore, finding a reliable painter is paramount, for even if you possess extensive painting knowledge, the actual execution hinges entirely on the painter's skill. A competent painter not only delivers quality work but also saves you considerable material costs.
The above outlines my personal experience regarding the mural process, key steps, and essential precautions. While most homeowners lack professional renovation expertise, this guide should at least equip you to oversee wall painting. Understanding this stage allows you to promptly correct any mistakes during your home's construction or renovation, preventing unpleasant disputes after completion. Rectifying issues later proves far more troublesome.
