Absolutely not necessarily boring furniture to load into the car and take out to the dump, then throwing out a huge amount for a new set of questionable quality. You can upgrade an old, but reliable set, using a paint that not only helps to transform the interior of the room, but also conceals all the defects that have accumulated after many years of use of the products. If previously only oil paint was used in this work, now there are magnificent compositions that can be used for any modern facade .
Types of paints for furniture
- Inexpensive and high-quality material is paint for furniture made of wood and MDF on alkyd or alkyd-urethane basis . They create an excellent film that can protect products from moisture, mechanical damage and other troubles. True, some formulations produce an unpleasant smell, so you should buy products of famous brands (Dyo, Tikkurilla, Dulux Trade High Gloss) with a shorter drying period.
- The coatings created with polyurethane resins are very durable. If you purchase products of Teknos, Elakor, Ive, then you will get an incredibly smooth and pleasant to the touch surface, resistant to erasure and scratches. Such a paint for wooden furniture will last in good conditions up to 20 years. There are two-component polyurethane compounds for professional use, which can be tinted, creating over two thousand different unique colors. At home, they are not yet used very often, but the materials of the trademarks Ilva, Milesi or Renner are worthy of your attention.
- Safe for human compounds are acrylic paints for furniture, where instead of chemical solvents used ordinary water. For children's rooms is the best option. By the way, you can buy paint and varnish materials in the form of aerosols, which greatly facilitates their application to items with a complex configuration. We recommend the production of Belinka, KrasKo, Tex, which is among the best paints for furniture made of wood , MDF and chipboard.
- Paint for leather furniture can be on synthetic or natural basis. Alas, but natural dyes quickly lose properties and burn out in the sun, and their range is not large. Usually they are black, brown or beige. Synthetic materials have a wide palette and are considered more reliable materials, seeping through the pores, they retain the texture of the leather upholstery covering of furniture.
We recommend buying proven paints of Salamander and Sitil brands.
The main purpose of painting any product is to obtain a strong and durable surface that does not break after a temperature drop or from a brief exposure to moisture. But you should never forget about the safety of the family, so be very careful with the choice of material. Kitchen sets or external doorways can be treated with wear-resistant automotive compounds, polyurethane or various powder materials. But for children it is best to choose paints for water-based furniture, which are easy to renew when next repair.
