Golden rule: adapted preparation, steps followed, quality never compromised
In a work budget, the painting station can quickly rise and the temptation to minimize it is great. The cleaning phase or the application of a primer may seem superfluous, but their step is nevertheless decisive in the success of the renovation or the implementation of the final phase of a building site.
Indeed, during a renovation, we often have to do with walls or ceilings that have captured various contaminations: pollution, grease, stains, smoke: are they dirty and cleaning becomes essential?
Likewise with a heterogeneous support possibly comprising parts of metal or wood or even joints of plaster, it is absolutely necessary to equalize and standardize the appearance and therefore apply a primer before finishing.
What are the risks if we decide to leave these steps aside?
Without cleaning and with a paint applied directly, the finish will quickly show signs of detachment, crazing, revealing blisters or pimples ... All these inconveniences on the surface are the result of the presence of old stains, residues silicone arrived by ambient pollution, dust amalgams which each prevent good adhesion of the finish.
Without a primer on a support with an uncertain background, the result will be similar. The finishing paint will not adhere properly and will soon peel off by peeling in places, blistering ...
The preparation of the substrates is therefore one of the keys to the success of a renovation or the finishing of an installation so that the final finishing phase is durable.
Among its specialties, Durieu offers some highly targeted solutions to meet these requirements.
Clean, degrease, scrub:
A clean support = half of the mission in the renovation phase. Oxi offers with ABSOLUTE DECREASING a unique solution which allows walls and ceilings to be rid of residues of various pollution, grease stains, smoke, etc.
This cleaner adapts to all situations, its cleaning agents are powerful and it suffices to dose the dilution according to the soil to obtain a clean surface. DECASSANT ABSOLUE is particularly suitable for environments subject to difficult atmospheres such as a kitchen.
Prepare, standardize, equalize the support:
To allow perfect and uniform adhesion of the finish: Oxi ABSOLUTE UNIVERSAL UNDERCOATER fully fulfills the contract. This primer with amazing qualities benefits from a unique composition ensuring optimal impregnation and adhesion on the support for the application of the finish:
- The fatty binders perfectly impregnate the support and in particular allow porous or floury materials (plasters, unstable plasters, etc.) to receive a finish directly, without heavy preparation (sanding, scraping, plasters, etc.).
- Thanks to the combination of very technical resins, the undercoat leaves a film on the support which guarantees the perfect adhesion of a finish on smooth materials such as copper, galva, varnished wood, glass paste or PVC.
- Its covering and filling qualities make it possible to hide unsightly stains.
Most : Corrosion protection
- Thanks to the combined action of high quality pigments and its technical resins ABSOLUTE UNIVERSAL UNDERCOATER also gives the support anti-corrosion qualities. The action of rust is blocked thanks to a “tiled” finish: ideal when working on damp surfaces or those subjected to the aggressions of humidity.
- Any unsightly rising rust, tannins or humidity are also blocked.
Magnify, decorate: final step of clean and prepared walls:
For the transition to finishing, again the right choice is essential. Not just any paint will do if you want a lasting result. Durieu offers with the CHARACTER range from Linitop a separate solution with a magnified rendering. A credibility: quality, resistance and durability; quality and magnified rendering.
Quality and resistance:
- The very high quality acrylic resins incorporated in the Linitop CHARACTER formula give the film chemical resistance to withstand the snags of everyday life: shocks, scratches ...
- At the same time, the adhesion is also very good, which makes Linitop CHARACTER a very good paint to carry out renovations.
Most : The addition of wax particles to the formula provides additional resistance to protect the film against impacts or dripping water.
Quality and rendering:
- Linitop incorporates premium pigments which give a deep color and a very "filling" result. In addition, the quality of the pigments offers a real comfort of application because they allow a comfortable opening time for the user.
- High performance alkyd resins give the finish its rich yet matte appearance, with the famous velvet feel.
- Finally, the quality of the white pigment used is a real asset for white shades. Often white is a color which does not cover enough or which yellows over time. Linitop whites offer superb white tints a kind of absolute white
