House painting is one of the most inexpensive and easy methods to revamp the entire look of the house and give it a cheery look with simple techniques. Here we have described the process of house painting in four easy stages of execution. Take a look:
1. Planning Phase-This is the stage when initial plans are set up and selection of products and equipments are carried out. The choice of paints largely depends on the surface to be painted upon. Latex and oil based paints are usually popular for their colour retention and mildew resistant properties. Suitable painting brushes and rollers are also bought along with other items.
2. Preparation Phase– This includes preparing the surface by cleaning it to remove any form of dirt, dust and old paint or wallpaper by scrapping or sandpapering techniques. After cleaning, they are coated with an initial layer of primers according to the material. Different forms of primers are available in the markets like adhesion primers, latex and oil based wood primers, concrete and masonry primers, etc.
3. Painting Phase– This includes the actual painting job. To prevent accidental spills and ugly blotches, it is advised to always start painting from the top and gradually move downwards. You can also contact professional painters in Auckland for complex surfaces or including special designs and textures.
4. Cleaning Phase– This is the final stage of house painting which constitutes cleaning up window and door frames, floor and glass panes for extra residues or paint marks with the help of a cloth and suitable solvent.
