Fur coat facade plaster is quite common. Today we will get acquainted with this material in detail, find out its features and rules for applying to the surface. Also in the video in this article you can clearly see the whole process of this work and in the photo some moments.

Facade plaster coat has its positive and negative sides.

Before buying the material, you should familiarize yourself with them:

Correct application of the material

Application instructions are not complicated. Here you just need to be careful and properly prepare the solution.

Facade preparation

Using this technology, you can cover any surface: brick, concrete and even wood. If it is required to finish wooden surfaces, then a slightly different technology is used: before applying the “fur coat”, the surface is treated with a special primer.

The amount of plastering work depends on technical condition surfaces:

• If the wall has irregularities of no more than 2 cm, then special preparatory work, except for cleaning the surface, is not necessary;
• With irregularities of more than 2 cm, the wall needs to be leveled, using a rough plaster with a sand-cement mortar (see. Cement-sand plaster: material features);
• If the surface is old and there are signs of destruction, then these chips and cracks should be removed. If the surface is strong enough, then for better adhesion to the “fur coat”, notches are made on it;
• The same technique can be used if the wall is lined with facing bricks with a glossy surface.

Plastering the building "under a fur coat"

To do this, you can use mixtures having various components. The main thing is that such a mixture is intended for outdoor use. In extreme cases, you can cook it yourself.

We prepare the mixture

For plastering surfaces “under a fur coat”, a sand-cement mixture is used:

• As a rule, river sand and cement grade M300 or M400 are used to prepare the solution, in a ratio of 3: 1.
• First, the components are mixed dry, and then diluted with water to the desired consistency: a density similar to the density of mashed potatoes is considered normal.

Attention; To find the right texture, you need to prepare a little solution and try it on a small area. The texture can be changed by changing the density of the solution: the thicker the solution, the more pronounced the texture.

You can make the facade more interesting and attractive:

• If you add a suitable dye to the finished solution. The painted "fur coat" does not fade in the sun and retains its color for a long time;
• Play with the texture of the “fur coat”, if you add enamel paint and putty to the finished composition, in a ratio of 50/50;
• Add pieces of white to the solution, colored glass or marble chips, etc.

Fur coat facade plaster can be done with your own hands. It is also produced in packaged factories and there are also options for packaging by firms.

The technology of applying a "fur coat" on the facade

Buildings have been decorated in this way for a long time, so there are a lot of technologies developed for this method.

Preparatory stage

If the surface is sufficiently flat, then the preparation of such a surface is as follows:

• Cleaning the surface from dirt, dust and small lumps of mortar. To do this, you can successfully use a metal brush;
• If the building has a solid age, then it does not hurt to treat it with an antiseptic;
• Mandatory coating of the surface with a deep-penetrating primer, which will improve the adhesion of the “fur coat” to the surface.

Technical means of obtaining a "fur coat"

It is not surprising that at one time technologies were developed for obtaining such a lining using special devices, since at one time it was very popular (fur coat).

1. Such a surface can be obtained using a compressor. It makes it possible to process in a short period of time, large areas, without disturbing the main figure.
2. Coating machine. The plaster is applied to the surface using a rotating drum. When using such a machine, labor productivity increases significantly, but the share of manual labor here is much higher than when using a compressor.

When applying plaster to the facade of a building, it should be remembered that the wall must be treated with the same mortar in one go.

Color painting of the facade of the house "under a fur coat"

To make the “fur coat” colored (multi-colored), a dye is added to the plaster solution at the preparation stage.

• Its quantity should be such that the desired shade with good saturation is obtained.
• Colored "fur coat" practically does not fade, which makes it possible to operate such a surface for a long time without repainting.

Attention: With one batch, the color will always be the same. But when repeated, it may be a different shade. After all, not just a dye plays a role here, but its proportion and volume of sand.

Painting with a spray gun

This may be the most suitable effective way painting "fur coats", moreover, it is the most economical. Under the influence high pressure, the paint breaks up into tiny splashes, which cover the entire surface in an even layer.

• Before applying paint, the surface of the "fur coat" should be cleaned and coated with a primer (see. Facade primer - its types and application).
• Finishing the facades of the building under the "fur coat" is a fairly affordable and relatively cheap way to give the building decorative look. The technology is not very complicated, which makes it possible to master it in a short time, and by showing imagination and adding dyes or other components to the plaster solution, you can give the building an exclusive appearance.

Attention: If you need to repaint the finished surface, then this is not so easy to do. Since the surface has a certain pattern formed by adhering drops of the solution, it is unlikely that it will be possible to paint it in the traditional way: this means the use of a brush or roller. With a roller, you don’t even have to try at all, but with a brush you can, but it will take a lot of paint and time.

Despite the seeming simplicity, it is necessary to apply a “fur coat” to the surface correctly. Only in this case, the surface will last a long time and will protect the facade of the building for decades.

To make the “fur coat” strong and reliable, you should follow some recommendations:

• Such plaster should be applied under certain weather conditions. Temperature environment should be within +5°С-+27°С. In this case, it is desirable to protect the surface from direct sunlight. It is best to carry out such work on a cloudy day, but not on a rainy one;
• It is desirable to go through all layers in one run, allowing each layer to dry;
• The surface must be primed;
• To obtain different colors, it is recommended to add the following dyes to the solution: red iron ore, manganese powder, white asbestos, crushed white marble, crushed cobalt glass, coal powder;
• Do not use thick solutions. The consistency should be liquid and, at the same time, not float along the wall;
• To get an acceptable texture, it is better to use a metal mesh or a stick with a broom.

Facade coat plaster is not expensive, but the service life is long. Also, you will not have to spend money on maintenance. So by doing all the work with your own hands, you will get a quality surface at a low price.

Decorative plaster coat is known to many - this is a type of wall covering used for exterior decoration of houses.

The reason for its popularity lies in the low cost of the components of the working mixture and in the fact that the application technique is relatively simple and accessible even without skills and special tools.

However, despite this, the appearance of the surface changes significantly.

Composition selection

In most cases, the composition is made independently by mixing water, sand and cement. Sometimes gypsum is used instead of the latter, however, it must be borne in mind that the surface will have a high "absorbency" in relation to moisture.

To avoid this, you will have to reduce the coefficient by staining or processing with special compounds. The modern construction market offers a wide range of different mixtures, mainly different from the conventional cement mixture used in the past. They serve much longer, have an elastic coating, and are relatively inexpensive in comparison with other options for exterior decoration of building walls.

When choosing a component for a fur coat, you need to keep in mind that there is a ready-made composition in the form of a dry mixture designed to perform similar work with an improved effect. If we evaluate the solution of the upcoming issue from a financial point of view, the use of the composition compares favorably with cement, it is somewhat cheaper.

In addition, to obtain the composition, you only need to add water, after which the composition is ready for application. However, all mixtures are made on a cement basis, therefore their service life is not long enough, in addition, the elasticity of the composition is almost zero.

Ready-made materials, which are more expensive, are able to cope well with microcracks, which are the main enemy of external walls and contribute to their subsequent destruction.

Acrylic copolymer is the main component of the mixture and is characterized by ductility and elasticity. For example, Aura Putz plaster coat is intended for almost all types of surfaces (brick, concrete, plasterboard, chipboard, OSB, DSP, plywood).

The “silicone decor” coating based on acrylic and silicone resins has a long service life and excellent moisture resistance.

Advantages and disadvantages

Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of this type of coating can be another additional argument that will help in deciding how to finish the facade of the house. Upon close analysis comparative characteristics it becomes clear that the plaster under a fur coat, done correctly and well, and most importantly quality material, is a good solution to the problem.

Positives and negatives for a long time known species coatings are shown in the table below.

There are many ways to make the appearance of your home better, therefore, before choosing one of them, you need to compare all the positive and negative sides of each of them.

Application methods

Depending on how the decorative fur coat is applied to the wall, the choice of installation method can vary significantly from each other.

Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, and in the case of a closer analysis of each of them, certain conclusions can be drawn.

However, any of these methods can be radically different from each other.

Using a birch stick and a broom

Applying a decorative fur coat to the wall using a similar method is used when using a stick and a broom.

However, this method is effective when processing small areas. A variant of such a finish is applied using elementary individual means.

An ordinary broom is taken, dipped into the mixture and beaten against a wooden stick, while it should be located in the direction of the wall.

In this technology, the splashes generated during the described actions are deposited on the surface you need. The procedure takes long time At the same time, care must be taken to ensure that the application of the composition is carried out evenly.

Roller

Applying decorative plaster fur coat is less expensive in terms of time spent on work. The principle is to perform the following manipulations: a large number of the mixture is applied to the surface of the wall and leveled with a roller having a textured relief.

The result of the actions will be the base, made with a volumetric effect. In this situation, similarly to the previously described method, a certain skill and skill is required.

Brush and board

Applying a plaster coat in this way began a very long time ago, the method is considered one of the oldest, ideal for establishing a thin layer. The brush is dipped into the mixture, turned over with its working side up, and after it is brought to the wall, with the help of a piece of wood it is drawn along the bristles towards itself. Watch the master class on mounting the "fur coat" in this video:

The splashes resulting from the manipulation settle on the surface, creating the effect of a fur coat.

Grid

The most simple and effective method. with small cells is fixed on the wall, the right amount of the mixture is thrown through it with a trowel. Then it is removed, and the textured plaster coat remains in place.

Mechanized application options

If you apply a fur coat with a compressor, the pattern will compare favorably with the previously described methods. Moreover, the difference will lie not only in the fact that a smoother texture will turn out on the wall, at the same time its service life will increase. Rounded elements are less prone to destruction than sharp ends. In this case, the size of the grains will depend on the composition of the mixture.

The use of a liquid solution will give small smudges and small drops, thus you will get a so-called porous coating.

A small container, inside of which there are several loose cables attached to one shaft connected to a handle in the form of a curved lever.

When the latter rotates, the metal villi are set in motion, thereby pushing out the contents of the container, which settles on the wall.

In this case, it should be borne in mind that, in order to obtain a fine texture, it is recommended to use a cable with a smaller section.

Making a machine for applying under a fur coat with your own hands is not so difficult. This method is the best option for cases where the purchase of a compressor is impractical for some reason. It is worth noting that the quality of work is practically the same, fur coats made by a self-assembled machine are in no way inferior to those that were applied using an expensive unit.

Work order

Textured plaster coat is applied to the wall in a certain order, while each of the described actions plays an important role, therefore it is not recommended to neglect one of them. At the first stage, the surface to be treated is cleaned of dust and dirt.

If there is an old dilapidated coating, you need to make sure of its condition, and if necessary, dismantle some sections. For better adhesion, before applying a fur coat on the wall, it is desirable to make serifs. They will increase adhesion.

The soil composition is inexpensive, and the effect of its use is huge. It acts as a link between the wall and the mixture layer. In addition, having absorbed into the old coating, the liquid will increase its strength.

You can apply it with a conventional paint brush, roller and compressor. The latter is recommended for use when processing uneven and rough walls with a large number of hard-to-reach places.

Finishing the walls with a fur coat begins only after the primer has dried. The consistency of the mixture is selected in accordance with requests. It all depends on what kind of terrain you want to get. If there is no particular preference, it is best to stir the solution to a state of sour cream.

Before proceeding with the application of a layer, it is necessary to apply 1 - 2 layers of a similar composition to the wall. Only after it has dried, you can start laying a fur coat.

Coloring

Mostly dry plaster compositions are presented with the addition of dyes. Tinting paste provides an opportunity to independently choose the shade that the finishing plaster of the walls will have. Standard colors considered white and grey. If you want to make the color of a dark tone, you must use the last option, for a light shade - take white compositions. For more information on how to apply plaster on the facade, see this video:

Today, the manufacturer of similar products presents to its consumer a wide selection of different tinting compounds, with which you can create a unique and inimitable color that is not found anywhere else:

• lapis lazuli;
• emerald;
• citrus;
• light sugar.

Another option is to paint the wall after it has been plastered. However, this has its drawbacks.

Firstly, when cracks appear, they will stand out sharply on the surface, since the paint in this situation covers only the top layer of plaster.

Secondly, the service life of the painted surface will depend directly on the quality of the mixture you have chosen and the technology of its application, which were mentioned earlier.

Due to these two shortcomings, most prefer the tinting of the plaster composition.

As can be seen from all that has been said before, plastering under a fur coat is not difficult; everyone can cope with the application technology. Enough to find free time and the desire to transform and protect your home. We can only add the following to everything: this finishing method is a strong and durable solution that will qualitatively protect the exterior walls from harmful climatic and atmospheric phenomena.

This operation is done by spraying. If the surface of the wall intended for the “fur coat” is smooth, deep grooves should be made in it or a notch should be made, and then cleaned of dust and dirt. If the surface is uneven and has bulges, then you can safely spray, bypassing the preliminary notching and furrowing operations. It is advisable to treat the walls with a primer before applying the solution. Of course, if you treat the whole house with a primer, it will be expensive, but I will reveal a little secret. To reduce its consumption and make the process much cheaper, an ordinary sprayer will help, it will significantly reduce fluid consumption and more thoroughly fill all the cracks and potholes.

About a solution under a fur coat.

The process of applying the solution under a fur coat is divided into several stages. The thickness of such a spray should not exceed five millimeters. It is very important to prepare a good solution for this. It consists of 1 part sand and 1 part cement, diluted to a creamy state.

On one more layer that has seized firmly enough, no more than 10 mm thick. Carefully level, but do not overwrite. The composition of this solution is 1 to 2.

Now comes the turn of the “fur coat”.

For this operation, granular slag (or other aggregate) must be sifted through a metal sieve. The main thing is that the fraction should be as small as possible. In order for the “fur coat” to acquire a certain color, chromium oxide or red iron oxide, even soot, should be added to the solution. It's a matter of taste. Often finely ground glass is added, from colorful bottles and the smaller, the better. Then your house, in the sun, will “play” with all the colors of the rainbow, which looks very cool.

All components are first mixed dry in the ratio: 1 part of cement, 2 parts of granulated slag and dye. The solution must be liquid enough to keep on the surface of the wall and not slip.

The next stage is the most difficult, requiring skills and dexterity.

First, test your skills on a less important building. Get it - feel free to get to work. From the tool, a coarse broom made of thin branches and a short stick are used to shake off the solution. Experienced craftsmen throw the solution with a trowel. Sometimes a grid is used. Through it, shake off the solution with a broom or brush. They are dipped into the solution as needed, and then they are sharply hit on the stick. Thus, the spray is smooth, without layers. During operation, the solution is periodically stirred so that it does not delaminate. Spraying with a brush creates a finer finish than through mesh or from a broom. This must be taken into account. There is also an old grandfather's apparatus, especially for applying plaster, it is quite possible to make it yourself, but this is a separate issue, I advise you to subscribe.
Here are some ways to color.

Although I don’t think that they are already relevant for a large audience, since the market is oversaturated with cheap dyes, but it’s just right for specialists.

To color the cement mass yellow, yellow ocher or chrome yellow paint is used. For red, kolkotar and finely ground red iron ore (iron oxide) are suitable. White color give white asbestos, white steatite, white marble powder. Manganese powder allows you to get brown, blue will be obtained from cobalt glass powder, ultramarine. Purple obtained from a mixture of yellow, blue and red powders, well-calcined red iron ore. green cement
