Walls and ceilings

Before the start of painting protect the flooring, furniture, doors and windows and other objects and installations that you wish to keep clean, with foil or commodities and protective tape. Be especially careful to protect decorative trims, door frames, windows etc. It is better to spend half an hour more protecting furniture than later cleaning it or even repairing the damage. Clean and prepare the surfaces you want to paint and if necessary use scrapers with a suitable filler to fill the holes and cracks. We recommend painting the following day.

Before applying any core or base coat on the wall or ceiling make sure that the surface is clean, dry and free from grease stains. Remove all  "children's art work", pay particular attention to wax crayons and remnants of adhesive tape. Prepare medium coarse plaster manually with  wire brush, as rubbing with sandpaper will show. Clean smooth polished surfaces with sandpaper.

On the walls and ceilings, there are often holes and cracks that should be repaired. It is important that the inside of the hole is larger than the exterior, as this way the filler will firmly fill the hole and will not fall out. Before applying the filler thoroughly clean the holes or cracks, for example with a vacuum cleaner. Moisten the holes with a damp sponge, so the filler readily attaches to the surface. Apply the filler with a flexible scraper. When the surface is dry, sand down with sandpaper until it's smooth and even, use a wire brush for rough plaster.

If you want to paint the ceilings and the walls, always start with the ceilings. This way you will avoid paint drips and splashes that could damage the freshly painted surfaces. After you finish painting the ceiling, continue with the walls and finally paint the windows, doors and radiators. 

Always paint the walls one by one. Use the brush to paint the borders along the ceiling and floor, but do not paint more than two to three meters at once. Then apply a coat with a roller on a whole wall. Dip the roller into the paint tray so that the roller is immersed to 1/3 and then roll out the paint onto the paint grid. Repeat this at least three times. Apply primer to the wall in larger quantities and then roll out the paint in all directions evenly across the wall. Using the same technique, continue painting the walls.
