3 4 High level of quality

Painting walls and ceilings in apartments and private houses has become a rational alternative to "problematic" whitewashing. Extinguishing lime, ubiquitous stains, the unevenness of the resulting coating and the constant "rubbing" of the walls with clothes - all this is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Now it is much easier and cheaper to buy a good water-based paint, the resource of which lasts for decades.

Today, the building materials market offers many types of water-based paints: acrylic, silicate, silicone, etc. Each has purely individual characteristics, however, the overall quality of all of them is different. Especially for you, we have selected nine of the best ceiling and wall paints in three main categories. Applicants for high positions in the ranking were selected according to several criteria:

1. user reviews and authoritative sources;
2. brand and reputation of the manufacturer;
3. careful comparison of operational parameters and characteristics;
4. price-quality ratio".

Rating (2018): 4.7

Well-known and high-quality acrylic-based paint with increased wear resistance. With full (and strict) compliance with the recommendations for application, it does not lose its qualities for 10-15 years, however, such formalities are very annoying for users. Immediately before painting walls or ceilings, a whole ritual of actions should be performed: of course, clean the surface of dirt and fragile coatings, and without fail degrease it with a slightly alkaline solution. Presented in several basic versions - "A" and "C". It is advisable to use the first one as an independent white paint or a basis for light and pastel colors, the second - only as a basis for saturated colors.

Advantages:

The optimum ratio of price and quality
Country: Germany
Average price: 900 rubles.
Rating (2018): 4.8

The paint of the Renova line from the German brand Alpina has been in the top of the best for several years. acrylic coatings for finishing interior spaces. It is simple and unpretentious in application, moderately viscous and durable. Consumers praise the adhesive properties (adherence to the surface) and washability very much. The original whiteness (if the paint has not been diluted with color) lasts for 5-7 years, after which there is a slight tarnish. However, if you add color to the base, and no matter what - whether it is a rich or soft tone - "aging" will not be noticeable throughout the entire service life.

Advantages:

• strong adhesive properties;
• washable;
• retains color well throughout the entire service life;
• most stable when using the colors of the respective manufacturer.

Flaws:

• enough high flow- about 150 grams per square meter (largely depends on the type of paint surface).

It is worth saying a few words about the main advantages and disadvantages of the three types of paints - acrylic, silicate and silicone. What are their features and what are the limits of applicability - we will learn the answer from the detailed comparison table:

paint type	pros	Minuses
Acrylic	Has good adhesive ability Immune to temperature conditions and humidity of the processed base Retains original surface color Contains natural UV absorbers	– Increased drying time of the treated surface – Insignificant dry residue (no more than 30%)
Silicone	The porous surface provides moisture resistance and simultaneous vapor permeability Resistant to fading and UV Retain operational properties for 20-25 years Non-aggressive and harmless to environment and human Does not require treatment with fungicides (to protect against microorganisms, fungi and mold)	- High price – Incompatible with metal – due to the gas permeability of the coating, metal products are exposed to corrosion
silicate	There is high vapor and air permeability After drying, forms a durable coating weather resistance Absolute fire resistance Low cost compared to others	– Possesses poor adhesion to organic surfaces (previously painted) - Poor color scheme - Over time, there is fading and tarnishing of the coating

Low price. Low ink consumption (from 90 g/m2)
Country Russia
Average price: 889 rubles.
Rating (2018): 4.9

A line of budget acrylic paints with high water resistance and therefore washable. For the most part, consumers use Farbitex as a coating for painting walls in the bathroom or kitchen, since the water-repellent function works with a bang. Also, paint is good because it does not impose special and, sometimes, even unnecessary requirements on the surface. Of course, applying a layer of "acrylic" on a perfectly dry and clean plane is welcome, but it's okay if the latter is slightly damp. It is these two qualities that predetermined the popularity of Farbitex Profi among users who are subconsciously looking for material perfect combination prices and quality.

Advantages:

• optimal cost;
• washable cover;
• does not impose requirements on the humidity of the coating and temperature regime in the processed room;

The best silicate water-based paint

4 Baumit Silikat Color Repro (25kg)

High level of quality
Country: Austria
Average price: 5 947 rubles.
Rating (2018): 4.5

Elite silicate paint from the reputable Austrian manufacturer Baumit. Despite the overall high quality of the products manufactured by this company, Silikat Color Repr has something to complain about in particular. First, it's just a crazy waste of material. From the reviews and product descriptions, it is not clear how many layers it is recommended to lay the coating on, so 500 grams per square meter can be safely attributed to the minuses. The second important fact is that the coating can withstand temperatures ranging from +8 degrees Celsius. In comparison with competitors - a noticeable loss. However, the purely qualitative characteristics are on top. If price comes first, then this option is not for you. In all other cases, quite decent paint.

Advantages:

• reliable binder (potassium liquid glass);
• non-combustible coating with a high degree of resistance to dirt, light resistance and vapor permeability.

Flaws:

• small range of heat resistance (not applicable at sub-zero temperatures);

2 PUFAS Fassaden-Silikat (10 l)

Best economy (from 130 gr/m2)
Country: Germany
Average price: 2,090 rubles.
Rating (2018): 4.8

A unique water-based silicate paint based on the same liquid potassium glass. The first, and most important, advantage of Fassaden-Silikat is its economy. One liter is enough for a single layer coating of 6-8 square meters of surface - this is approximately 130-170 grams per square meter (depending on the type of surface).

According to consumers, the paint does not perceive bright, saturated colors well, but it reproduces soft, light tones without much difficulty. According to the standard characteristics, there are no complaints, but it is annoying that the coating does not tolerate negative temperatures. For its price category, the inherent qualities are not enough, but those that are are very high.

Advantages:

• high standard indicators (moisture and weather resistance, vapor permeability);
• the best indicators of material economy;

This is the question we often ask ourselves when building our home or going to make repairs in it. However, I will immediately note that you can’t answer it unambiguously. It all depends on the material and qualities of the base, the purpose of the room and the design of its interior.

How to evaluate ceiling paint

When mentioned ceiling paint, in most cases, a concrete floor comes to mind. But in fact, the base surface can consist of different materials.

For example, from plaster, wood and its products, drywall, ceiling wallpaper or fabrics, etc. And for all these materials, you should choose coloring compositions that are appropriate in quality.

It should also be taken into account that the premises have different purposes. Therefore, LMB for them must be chosen based on this.

Ceiling paint should be judged against the following criteria:

1. Economy of spending.

1. Coverage level. That is, the ability of the composition to fully hide the previous layer at a minimum of its costs.

1. masking effect.
2. The degree of moisture resistance. This characteristic is important for wet rooms.
3. Volumetric paint.
4. Her cost.

Coating appearance

When choosing a ceiling paint, first of all determine what will be a priority for you - the visual perception of the coating or its special properties.

In the first case, you must take into account that the color coatings differ in the visual effect they create.

1. Glossy compositions give a strong shine to the facing. They look great on ceilings that have a significant area. Due to their high reflectivity, they visually expand the space.
   However, the gloss visually highlights and emphasizes all the irregularities and defects of the base. Based on this, if you are not sure about the quality and evenness of the ceiling, then you should not use such paint.

1. Matte paints create a coating that does not shine, that is, it practically does not reflect light. Such compositions are able to moderately hide the irregularities and defects of the ceilings.
   Matte paints can be used for ceilings of all types of rooms. The resulting surface looks very aesthetically pleasing.
2. Semi-gloss finishes are a compromise between the first two categories. The coating they create is shiny, but moderate.

1. Textured paints for walls and ceilings.

In their composition, in addition to coloring pigments, there are additional ingredients:

• these components can be a variety of fillers made of mineral fibers, polymeric and natural chips, imitating various natural textures and textures;
• such compositions are able to mask significant defects in the base, due to the fact that they are applied in relatively thick layers.

When choosing paint for the ceiling, please note that it is highly undesirable to cover it oil composition. After it dries, it forms a completely air- and moisture-proof coating. This will provoke a slow destruction of the base, since the ceiling will not "breathe".

Why you should choose water-based paints for ceilings

For interior design, water-based paints and varnishes are most suitable. I'll explain why.

The advantages of such compositions

1. It is possible to cover bases made of all types of materials with water-based paints. It is undesirable to do this only with metal, since water can provoke corrosion of the base.

1. Such compositions are the most environmentally friendly and do not contain harmful substances. When painting the ceiling, there are no persistent sharp and unpleasant odors that cannot be weathered for several days.
2. To remove the old water-based coating from the plane of the ceilings, there is no need to use solvents or cleaners. It is only necessary to moisten the surface and after 7-10 minutes the paint can be removed with a spatula.

1. In most cases water sports Coatings are produced in white, the so-called "base" color.

As needed, you can buy a variety of colors for them in all colors and tones:

• thanks to this, you can recreate any of the shades of the coating. This circumstance makes the design of the ceiling very convenient.
• white ceilings are the most common and are considered classic. However, now their color finish is gaining more and more popularity. It increases the aesthetics of the interior, of course, if the tone of the coating is correctly chosen and accents are made.

Painting in terms of aesthetics, at least, does not lose to other ceiling design options. This cladding has a very low price. Due to this, painting is almost always cheaper than other finishes.

Types of water paints

There are plenty of options for water-based paints and varnishes. Therefore, you can choose a suitable analogue for any conditions of the room and design.

Probably, there is not a single person who does not know that there is such a coating as water-based paint or, in a simple way, water-based paint. However, not all of us imagine that such coatings may differ in their composition and technical characteristics.

Therefore, I will explain the following to you.

1. In fact, the emulsion is a dispersion (homogeneous) system. It consists of any two liquids that cannot mix at the molecular level. In other words, it is a liquid that is saturated with drops of another liquid that are insoluble in it.
2. If we talk about colors, then they emulsion types are a physical mixture of water, which acts as a dispersed medium, and polymer resins, which play the role of a dispersed phase (a kind of suspension).
3. The main features and characteristics of the emulsion depend on the material used as the dispersed phase. Based on this, it is more correct to call such coloring compositions water-dispersion.

The same water emulsion

Water-based paint (water-based paint) is made on the basis of the dispersed phase of polyvinyl acetate (PVA). She is the ancestor of all water-dispersion coatings, because the production of such compositions began with her.

Polyvinyl acetate water-based paint quickly became in demand due to its very low cost. And the fact that it was even easier to wash off the coating than to apply it, only exacerbated the success of the material.

However, such paints have several significant disadvantages:

1. The coating has a very short period of operation - 1-3 years.
2. From exposure to the rays of the sun, the paint turns yellow.
3. Water emulsion non-moisture resistant. From waterlogging, mold starts on it, and stains form. Ultimately, she crumbles.

Based on the shortcomings listed above, many users began to abandon the use of water-based paint. Manufacturers have begun to develop water-based paints with improved characteristics.

Modern water-based polymer formulations

As a result, coatings based on polymers were developed: acrylic, latex, polyurethane and silicone. They are not afraid of exposure to ultraviolet radiation and water.

By improving water-based paint with its excellent technical characteristics, polymers have given it the opportunity to rise to a much higher consumer level:

1. On the this moment water-dispersion paints are not only a material for covering the ceiling. With their help, you can effectively decorate the premises and not only in the segment of low-budget repairs.
   Therefore, users often use this particular type of cladding, while harmoniously combining several tones of paint in the interior of rooms.
2. Coatings based on water-polymer emulsions have good elasticity. They can be both glossy and matte.

1. These coatings are not very easy to remove from the base during subsequent repairs. However, this is often not necessary, because the coatings are durable.

The main advantage that hasacrylate ceiling paint, consists in the fact that the coating created by it can be cleaned using household detergent compositions.

Peculiarities:

1. Due to the increased elasticity, such a composition fills all the microscopic cracks and pores of the base.

1. Therefore, acrylic water-dispersion paints are very economical. When the ceiling is well prepared for finishing, one layer of paint coating is often enough.
2. 1 liter of acrylic paint is enough to cover 6 m² of surface.

Polyurethane and silicone water-dispersion paints are especially valued:

1. When applied, they make it possible to mask visible cracks and other minor defects in the ceiling.
2. The coating they create can be both washed and cleaned with abrasive compounds.
3. It is fire resistant and has good resistance to mechanical stress.
4. Among other things, silicone and polyurethane paints are moisture resistant. Therefore they are the best choice for ceilings in wet rooms.
5. It is worth warning that these two types of water-dispersion paints are the most expensive among their analogues.

All types of water-based polymer paints and varnishes are vapor-permeable and non-toxic. These characteristics are especially important for living rooms.

Special paints for ceilings

Often, amateur builders ask themselves the question - what is the difference between ceiling paints and wall counterparts. I can answer right away - there are no special differences between them.

The vast majority of water-dispersion compositions are universal. Often they are labeled as "interior", in other words, their purpose is to paint the ceilings and walls inside the premises.

If you see a can in the store that says "ceiling paint", it will only mean that the composition is a little thinner. This is necessary so that its application with a spray gun is more convenient.

In addition, such compositions have a high degree whiteness. On buckets and cans, this is what is written: “the paint is super-white.” These materials are tinted worse and are used only for finishing ceilings.

Coloring compositions for a wooden base

Wood and its products (boards, decorative beams, plywood, OSB, etc.) are often used for ceiling cladding. It can also be painted with water-dispersion paints.

However, such coatings completely cover the natural texture and texture of wood. This circumstance is not to the liking of all of us. This situation belongs to the area of ​​diversity of our aesthetic tastes.

For example, in the kitchen, wooden ceilings covered with light paint look very good.

Alkyd paints and varnishes for wood

1. Wood has a high absorbency. To level it, the base should be primed before painting. However, the cost of water-dispersion coatings for wood is still more than for plasterboard, plaster or concrete.
2. Dark woods are difficult to paint over.

From all this, best option- use alkyd paint for wooden ceilings. It has a high level of opacity. Besides, most of grades of alkyd materials are a "2 in 1" coating. For example, primer paint or antiseptic paint.

Before purchasing the composition, make sure that it is intended for staining wood specifically. There are many varieties of paints based on alkyd resins. However, PF enamels are most often used for wood. They include pentaphthalic varnish.

In addition to pigments and colors responsible for the color of the paint, they may contain the following additives:

• nacre;
• quartz chips;
• marble flour, etc.

In the photo - multi-colored alkyd paints.

These components make it possible to create additional decorative effects.

Alkyd paints, as a rule, are already painted in some color and are completely ready for use. They have the widest range of tones and shades. They are juicy and bright, which makes it possible to recreate contrasts and accents.

Alkyd finish is durable, it is not afraid of the sun and moisture. Therefore, such a coating can be used to veneer wooden ceilings not only in residential premises, but also on the terrace, open veranda, summer kitchen, in the attic.

Tinting and impregnating compositions

Wooden ceilings are fundamentally different from other bases - they natural texture it is best not to mask, but rather to preserve and emphasize.

That is, when painting wooden ceilings with your own hands, it is best to prefer transparent paints that have a tinting effect.

There are several varieties of such paints and varnishes:

1. The most popular now are decorative azures, as well as impregnating varnishes. Their main function is to protect the tree from decay.. Only secondarily do they play a decorative role.
   Such coatings leave the texture of the wood visible, the surface of the base is only tinted. At the same time, the coating has a gloss, it is tactilely silky and smooth.

1. A variety of colored solvent-based alkyd varnishes are also used to finish wooden ceilings. These translucent compounds create a protective film on the base, having good strength. It varies in terms of gloss.

1. There are also glazing impregnations on a synthetic or water basis. In fact, these are stains.

They penetrate deep into the wood and color the fibers of the base:

• with their help, cheap wood becomes like valuable species - oak, rosewood, walnut, mahogany, etc .;
• if the ceiling was sheathed with an expensive type of wood, then the stain will only emphasize its texture and texture. After glazing, the base can be coated with a glossy, semi-gloss or matt varnish according to your desire.

Rating: 9 best ceiling paints

Below I present to you the 9 best paints in different categories that can be purchased in Russia.

Matte Best Ceiling Paint

The highest quality brand of matte paint is Dulux "Magic White". I immediately warn you that I mean material made directly in the UK. The company's plants in Russia cannot always produce the highest quality products.

So:

1. This paint has excellent light absorbing properties. They make it possible to almost completely hide all small defects on the ceilings.
2. The material has a high level of hiding power. Two of its layers are enough to make the surface of the base look “one hundred percent”.
3. In addition, the material has: environmental friendliness, low consumption per square meter, a wide range of tones, the possibility of applying to an unprepared base, ease of maintenance.

Based on all of the above, it is not surprising that this paint has become so popular.

The only negative of the English paint Dulux "Magic White" is its high cost. It is approximately 3100 rubles. for 10 l.

Best Gloss Compound

Dufa "Superweiss" is the best gloss composition.

Of the glossy paints, the German paint Dufa "Superweiss" is the most popular.

This ceiling paint is valued for the following qualities:

• flawless whiteness;
• silky gloss;
• high level of hiding power;
• coating service life;
• strength.

Most of us like glossy finishes. They emphasize the purity of color and visually expand the space. Because of this, Dufa "Superweiss" is often used to paint the ceiling of small rooms.

The manufacturer of this brand produces and decorative materials, recreating spectacular drawings on the basis. Thanks to this, you can not only work with the tones and shades of the coating, but also create visual illusions, original textures on the ceilings.

The approximate cost of Dufa "Superweiss" paint is 3300 rubles / 10 liters.

The best semi-gloss material

Polish paint "Sniezka-Eko" is very surprising with the best quality / cost ratio. It is suitable for almost all types of substrates and has an excellent level of coverage.

"Snezhka" makes it possible to combine surfaces with different textures. For example, this is necessary when installing suspended ceilings from plasterboard. This paint does not have high moisture resistance, however, it is environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic. This composition is easy to tint to the tone and shade you need.

I want to warn about the minus of this paint. Its practical consumption per square meter is almost 2 times higher than the manufacturer claims.

The approximate cost of "Sniezka-Eko" coverage is 1400 rubles. for a 10 liter bucket.

The best polyvinyl acetate paint

"TEX-profi" is the best water-based paint.

Paint "TEX-profi" refers to the type of classic water-based compositions based on polyvinyl acetate. In other words: it is cheap, spreads easily and almost does not smell. It is possible to tint the coating according to the TEX company catalog.

The main disadvantages of this paint:

• high material costs;
• increased requirements for the base;
• not very good hiding power, the coating has to be distributed in several layers in order to get a high-quality result.

When choosing the composition of "TEX-profi", consider the features of caring for the coating. It, like all other water-based PVA paints, is easily washed off with plain water. Based on this, you will not be able to clean the lined ceiling.

The approximate cost of "TEKS-profi" is 1600 rubles. for a 9 liter bucket.

Highest quality silicone material

The German company Caparol produces the best silicone paint under the brand name "CapaSilan".

After drying, silicone materials easily mask or even eliminate small bumps, cracks and roughness on the base. Thanks to its tightening properties, CapaSilan paint can hide cracks up to 2 millimeters wide.

The composition has good hiding power and, under certain conditions, even one layer is enough for excellent staining. The created coating is easy to clean. It practically does not get dirty, because it has water and dust repellent properties.

The approximate cost that Caparol "CapaSilan" silicone paint has is 3900 rubles. for a 10 liter bucket.

The best acrylic paint for ceilings

The Rostov manufacturer "Empilis" produces the best water-dispersion acrylic paint "Oreol-Discount". It perfectly lays down on the bases from any materials, forming a uniform opaque covering.

Most of the matte compositions have a high level of hiding power. Especially when the composition is white, pastel or terracotta. "Oreol-Discount" will not be an exception.

After its application, this paint dries faster (1.5 times) than analogues from other manufacturers. The cover is easy to clean and wash.

Of the minuses, the following can be noted. The material costs announced by the manufacturer are often exceeded in practice.

The approximate cost of "Oreol-Discount" is 900 rubles. for a bucket of 13 liters.

The best latex composition

The Finnish company Tikkurila has been associated with the Russian consumer for many years with the definition of "high quality" when it comes to most types of coatings.

Latex paint Tikkurilla "Euro-7" has the following advantages:

• coating durability;
• color purity;
• environmental friendliness;
• wide possibilities of staining with colors;
• resistance to solar ultraviolet;
• good specifications.

I warn you right away: a high-quality product means real Finnish Tikkurila paint. The plant near St. Petersburg does not always produce such an ideal material.

The approximate cost of Tikkurilla "Euro-7" is 2800 rubles. for a 9 liter bucket.

The best silicate paint for ceilings

Russian-German silicate paint "Ceresit CT-54" was originally intended for external, that is, facade works. But it can also be used indoors - for ceilings and walls. The material has environmental friendliness, high hiding power, antifungal qualities, durability and ease of maintenance.
