When it is mandatory to use a primer –

The primer represents a building material that has the role of the preparatory layer and is applied inside and outside a construction, on walls, ceilings and floors, during different types of works. The workers use the first lovers when they perform repair, painting or assembly tiles, tiles or wallpaper. If you like to do various construction, renewal or finishing jobs at home, I prepared some tips for you on when and how to use lovers.

The primer is often an indispensable material under construction, which is why there are numerous works in which the product is on the shopping list. The primer can have more roles:

• Regulates the absorption of water, to allow the subsequent application of water -based products or containing water in the mixture (paint, coating, tiles or tile sticker). This type of primer reduces the consumption of the material applied subsequently and prevents its uncontrolled drying by absorbing the water too quickly in the support layer.
• Correct the dust and strengthen the support layer. Before applying the primer and the final product, the support layer must be solid and well clean. For situations in which the dust cannot be removed perfectly or the support layer is not solid enough, it is recommended to apply an AMOMET that penetrates the depth of the support layer and therefore strengthens and fixes the powder.
• It improves adhesion on difficult supports (metal, plastic, ceramic tiles and other non -apse supports). There are lovers who have rough materials (sand), which increase adhesion on layers that otherwise would be difficult to apply certain materials.

To the painting of the walls

If you intend to paint your walls, the first step would be to take care of the support layer. Most of the time, the support layer is a painted cardboard chalk. If you apply the new paint directly on the old paint, the old paint can detach and stay on the roller. To prevent such unpleasant surprises, we advise you to prepare the support layer before applying the paint on it. All you have to do is gently grind the painted cardboard and then clean it. The next step would be that, above the plaster the paved cardboard and without traces of dust, apply a primer. Primer has more roles:

– strengthen the support layer;

– Correct the dust;

– Prepare the support layer to apply the paint.

In addition, the application of the primer reduces the consumption of paint.

When applying an external decorative chalk

The decorative plaster offers your home a personalized, new and modern look and to make you enjoy this finish for a long period of time it is necessary to apply a quality primer as a support layer. The decorative plaster primer guarantees the good adhesion of the plaster on the support layer, protecting the weather walls and making the plaster more resistant to mechanical shocks and frost deviance cycles. If you use colorful decorative plaster, the primer must have a similar shade.

To tiles and tiles

You don’t need the primer only when you paint, but also when you mount tiles and tiles on cardboard chalk tiles. It is necessary to apply a primer before mounting the ceramic tiles, as it prevents the water from the plating sticker to infiltrate the cardboard chalk cards. The chalk cardboard is made of plaster and the plaster absorbs the water. If you mount the tile without applying the primer, the humidity in the adhesive for plating will penetrate the plaster, it will be crushed and the tiles or tiles come off.

It is recommended that, before applying the tiles or tile sticker, use a quality primer that It forms, after application, a fine and shiny film, which strengthens the support layer and improves the tile adhesive or adhesive of the tiles. In addition, Primer G Primer prevents the chemical reaction between adhesive compounds and plaster cardboard. In the absence of the primer, this chemical reaction leads to the formation of salts and over time causes ceramic tiles over time.

After applying the primer, it is necessary to glue the tiles and tiles with a suitable sticker. For the correct choice of stickers for tiles and tiles, we propose to read the article «Take the label into consideration when choosing stickers for tiles and tiles».

Primer G Primer can be used even if you mount the tape. Applied before the wallpaper, the Primer G Primer reduces the amount of wall adhesive and makes it easier.

And when you mount the tiles on an existence, you have to use a primer. Until the primer is applied, you should check if the tiles already glued are stable. For this, the existing tiles are easily married, to make sure they don’t come off and that you don’t seem empty. If everything is fine, you can mount another tile on the existing one.

To do this, you will have to create a suited level of support for the tile sticker. Otherwise, the adhesive will not join, because the existing sandstone represents a non -apse support. Therefore, we advise you to apply the primer Eco primo grip. Amora contains silicon filler, which transforms non -absorbent and smooth surfaces into rough surfaces, with excellent adhesion for subsequent layers. After only 30 minutes after applying the primer, you can start whipping the tiles.

How does the primer apply correctly?
