Often, when repairs begin in an apartment, the question arises: how to put wooden windows in order? Over time, the paint on the wooden window frames, under the influence of various factors, begins to crack and climb.
Because of this, the windows get an untidy look, and as you know, the window is the face of any room, because it is it that catches the eye when you enter the room. There is a quick and inexpensive way to update wooden windows - they just need to be painted.
As you know, wooden windows require maintenance and repair, which consists in updating the paint layer. The work begins with the removal of the old coating. To do this, you can use flushes that are applied to small areas of the wooden frame. The second method involves the use of a construction hair dryer.
During operation, as it warms up, the worn paint under the influence of hot air gradually softens, after which it is removed with a sharp metal spatula. At the same time, the old window putty is removed, which is used to seal the windows. Next, all the cracks on the outer and inner sides of the wooden frame are covered with acrylic sealant. As practice shows, these defects are inherent exclusively in wooden products.
On the wooden surface, the sealant dries for several days, after which you can start painting. To do this, use a special matte paint for painting facades.
Experts recommend using dyes from foreign manufacturers, because they contain fewer components that emit an unpleasant odor. First, the outer part of the window is painted. To reliably protect the tree from atmospheric moisture, the paint is applied in 2-3 layers. As for the inside of the frame, a single-layer coating will be quite enough.
In order for the paint on the windows to retain its original appearance for a long time, you need to choose a paint for windows that is not affected by the environment, resistant to mechanical damage and has moisture-repellent properties.
Alkyd enamel is best suited for painting windows. The composition of this enamel includes the resin of the same name, glycerin and rosin. It is very elastic and durable. Over time, alkyd enamel does not turn yellow and does not lose the brightness of its original color. This paint dries quite quickly. Snow, rain and any other atmospheric phenomena of alkyd enamel are not terrible (this applies to the outside of windows).
Surfaces painted with this type of paint can be washed with any detergents. Alkyd enamels are suitable even for painting metal surfaces. Fizzslots
