The choice of paint tool is as important as the choice of color. Especially for people who want to paint the walls or ceiling without any background about painting the building or colors. In such cases, it is necessary to know whether a brush or a paint roller is better.
Tools Required by Building Painting
Depending on the amount of work, surface material and piece, the mode and size of painting, some special tools for building painting will be different, but the essential painting tools for metal, wooden, concrete surfaces, etc. on the wall, ceiling and facade Houses and buildings are usually among the following items.
Building Painting Brush
Paint pen or paint brush is the main and most used tool for painting the building; This tool has a plastic, wooden or metal handle along with a hair head (consisting of multiple strands of hair) that is flat and narrow or wide. To prepare this tool, you must pay attention to several points; First, the size of the pen is determined based on the width of the hair head and in millimeters or inches, such as 0.5 inches - 1 inch - 1.5 inches, etc. The length of the brush is sometimes important; In fact, in general, according to the position and surface you are going to paint, you should choose the diameter and width of the brush.
The second point is that the hair of this pen may be natural or synthetic; For oil paints, it is better to use a brush with natural bristles, and for plastic and water-based paints, the synthetic type is more suitable. The same point should be observed when washing the pen, and plastic pens should not be cleaned with thinners and oily solvents.
Kadhak Building Tool
Although spatulas do not play a role in painting, no professional and experienced painter can paint without a spatula. This tool, like a brush, has small and large sizes with very narrow to wide blades. Their handles are usually made of wood and plastic, and the blade of the spatula is made of a very thin sheet of steel or stainless steel.
While painting the building, you will notice that some surfaces, such as plaster walls, etc., are sometimes not smooth and flat; Before starting the painting work, it is better to smooth these surfaces with a spatula and sealant. If you know how to putty, you can spread and smooth the putty mortar on them with a spatula until you reach a smooth surface. Another role of the spatula is to remove dirt and exfoliate the waste materials stuck on the surface before painting, which is done with the help of its blade.
Painting Roller Venda Building Tool
Rollers are among the popular and new items in the family of building painting tools that increase the speed of painting. This manual tool has gradually replaced brushes and building painters prefer to use painting rollers for very large and smooth surfaces such as walls. This tool has a handle and a round roller that rotates around the central bar while working. The size of the roller is selected according to the length of the roll, such as 7 cm - 10 cm - 25 cm, etc., as well as the diameter of the roll in the form of narrow, semi-thick and thick.
On these rolls, a hair pad or lint surface is installed and the color is placed on it during painting. With the color coating of the roller roll in the tank and paint container, the surface of the roll is prepared for painting on the part and it circulates on it. Although the amount of paint used with rollers is greater than with a brush, most professionals prefer to use a roller due to the increase in speed and uniformity of the final result.
Painting Roller Tray
If you use a roller for painting, you also need a tray. The roller tray is a special container with a wide design that holds a certain amount of paint so that the user can put it in the tray instead of putting the roller and cloth in the main can of paint. This container is designed so that the best amount of paint can be applied to the roller roll quickly without consuming too much.
color spray
The next item is spray paint, which is mostly used for small, local parts, irregular surfaces and without the possibility of painting with a brush, roller, etc. Nowadays, sprays have a very high variety of colors and are usually produced in metal cans with volumes of 300 ml, 450 or 600 ml. Sprays give very good control during painting, have a high color spread and dry faster than oil paints with a brush.
Painting Bar
Color protective tape or painting tape in English Painter Tape is a type of tape that has various colors and unfortunately is not used much in our country. Masking tape is great for preventing paint from splashing onto unauthorized areas while working. The user can stick the tape together with a nylon cover on the areas and places where the paint should not be splashed, so that the beauty of the work is complete after the work is finished.
Another advantage of the painting tape is the correct demarcation and the possibility of creating regular color lines as desired. In better words, the painting tape will act as a guide and a ruler for the painter, and after the work is completed, it will show the difference of a first-class and professional painting.
paper sanding
Sandpaper is also one of the pre-painting tools that can grind and smooth any surface. Usually, after using the trowel and for final cleaning before starting painting, it is recommended to use sandpaper to polish the piece. Sandpapers are made for construction materials, wood, iron and metals, etc., and have different degrees of roughness. There are grades, roughness or sandpaper grit in the market between numbers such as 40-60-80-100-120 to 800 and the bigger this number is, the softer the sandpaper becomes. Hard grit sandpapers have higher chipping ability and are rough. Soft sandpapers have a lower sanding speed, but provide a completely smooth and clean surface and are suitable for sensitive materials.
spray pistol
If we want to cover a wider range of building painting painting tools, we can also think about painting machines. One of these tools that some people use both in the form of workshop and industry as well as in home use is the pneumatic paint spray gun and the electric paint gun. To use an air gun, an air compressor is needed; But for the electric pistol, you only need one outlet and a city power source.
Pistols increase paint consumption, but painting with them will be much faster and of better quality. Of course, remember that in order to use the gun, the paint must be diluted and mixed with the solvent in advance according to the technical specifications and the size of the nozzle of the tool. In addition, it is better that special guns for building painting have a nozzle size above 2 mm.
