Tools for painting work. Tools, equipment, devices used to perform molar work Professional equipment for painting work

Painting tools are necessary to give the façade and interior surfaces a finished look. Professional tools allow you to get the job done faster and with better quality, so they are worth purchasing not only for those who do finishing work every day. This is necessary so as not to have to re-finish the surface in the future due to poor quality work.

Rollers

Paint rollers are designed for painting large surfaces, as they allow you to apply a large amount of finishing material in a minimum time. Varnish and glue are also applied using rollers. All such tools are lightweight and easy to use. To decorate a room, many apartment owners often buy rollers for decorative plaster.

The design of all rollers is quite simple: a handle and a roller, which can be plastic, wood or metal, are attached to a curved metal rod. There is a fur coat on the roller. Rollers can be used not only for applying compounds, but also for leveling wallpaper.

Types of rollers:

To select rollers for work in a particular home, you need to determine what exactly they may be needed for. When purchasing a structural roller for decorative plaster, you should carefully choose the pattern.

Auxiliary Tools

During painting work, many auxiliary tools are used. For example, common items are paint trays, ditches for solutions, brushes needed when wallpapering walls, and other tools.

The most commonly used painting tools are:

The use of professional painting tools allows you to speed up the process of finishing the room and perform the work more efficiently.

Paint brushes

The described tools are indispensable when painting or varnishing a surface. The brush is a wooden handle with bristles attached to it. It is worth remembering that after purchasing you should not immediately start working, as professional painting tools must be prepared. Due to the stiffness of the bristles, streaks remain on the surface when applying paint. To prevent this, you need to immerse the bundle in water for about an hour. As a result, the hair will become softer and will not fall out.

If oil paint is applied to the surface, the product will need to be thoroughly dried before use. But even after this, the tool may leave streaks. You can get rid of protruding hairs when working on hard material. Many professionals wet the brush with paint first and work on materials such as concrete, brick or plaster. After such operations, the brush will be completely smooth and will not leave streaks.

Common types of brushes

The tools described vary depending on the shape, purpose and size of the bristles. Often purchased for finishing:

It’s easier to purchase a set of brushes rather than looking for all types of such products separately.

General classification of brushes

To choose a specific tool for the job, you should consider the features of different types of brushes. According to the shape of the beam they are divided into:

Brushes are also divided according to beam size:

In addition, brushes are divided according to bristle materials:

Types of brushes by purpose

To choose the right brush for a specific task, it is worth considering their varieties:

Trowel

When performing finishing work, a tool such as a trowel is often used. It is usually used for applying plaster. If the finishing is done using decorative plaster, it is necessary to select the right tool for its application. A trowel for decorative plaster is usually made of stainless steel and is used both for applying and leveling the composition, and for giving relief.

Basic painting tools are shown in Fig. 119. Various brushes, rollers, spray guns (spray guns), and spray guns are used to apply paint and varnish coatings.

Brushes. High quality hard brushes are made from pig bristles. They make it possible to obtain coatings of excellent quality. For fine works, soft art brushes made from squirrel and kolinka wool are used. In addition, synthetic fibers are used to make brushes, brushes made of which are more durable than natural ones. Brushes should also be selected according to the type of work. Swing brushes are used for painting walls, ceilings and other large surfaces. They are made in the form of a bundle of hair up to 180 mm long. Before work, new fly brushes (like handbrake brushes) should be wrapped with strong twine 2/3 of the length of the hair, and as the hair wears out, the binding should be gradually reduced (Fig. 120). After wrapping, the brush becomes more elastic, rubs better and becomes less clogged with paint. Brushes for adhesive paints are tied somewhat looser than for oil paints.

Hand brushes are used to paint small surfaces (radiators, windows, doors). Handbrake handles come in diameters from 26 to 54 mm. They are used for working with alkyd paints and enamels. When whitewashing ceilings with adhesive and lime paints, as well as applying paste to wallpaper, a paintbrush is mainly used. If it is not available, you can use a swing brush. The brushes are round, with a diameter of 120 and 170 mm, with a bristle length of up to 100 mm, and rectangular. They have high performance, like whitewash brushes. Both fly brushes and brushes are made from pork bristles, horsehair or nylon. When painting the surfaces of rooms with adhesive lime compounds, and especially when whitewashing the ceiling, it is better to use brushes made of pig bristles, since brushes made of horsehair and nylon do not hold the paint, and it drips onto the floor. When painting windows and doors with oil paints, the hand brush should have a diameter of 2-3 cm, and when painting walls - up to 4 cm.

Even with the most careful painting, brush marks remain on the surface. Flute brushes are used to smooth out these irregularities. They can also be used to paint small surfaces with oil, enamel and nitro paints. Flutes are flat brushes with a width of 25, 60, 62, 76 and 100 mm, made from high-quality bristles. The best flutes are made from badger fur. File brushes are made of white, stiff bristles. Their diameter is 6, 8, 10, 14 and 18 mm. These brushes are intended for applying narrow stripes, called panels, and for painting places where it is inconvenient to work with a handbrake. Trimming brushes are rectangular brushes made of hard bristles. These brushes are used to treat freshly painted shagreen surfaces. Using a trimmer, light, even blows are applied to the paint that has not yet dried, smoothing out the unevenness left by the brush; in this case, the trimming hair should only lightly touch the surface. The crosscut must be dry and clean and should therefore be wiped down frequently.

Spatulas. To putty surfaces, use steel spatulas with a working element length of 7-10 cm, which can be made from an old saw. The edge of the spatula should be thin, straight and smooth, up to 16 cm wide. The widest spatulas are used for puttying floors, walls and other large surfaces. If a steel spatula is not available, it can be made from plywood or a thin board. It is advisable to use wooden spatulas for applying and leveling putty on wood and plaster. A blade 50-200 mm wide and 150-180 mm long should be well planed and cleaned. In Fig. 121 shows techniques for applying putty using a spatula: a, b - the spatula is positioned at an angle of 40° and 60°, with a thicker layer of putty; c - when the spatula is positioned at an angle of 80°, the layer of putty is thinner; d - each subsequent layer of putty should overlap the previous one by 2-3 cm; d - puttying in cross directions.

Paint rollers used for painting large areas - walls, ceilings and other surfaces with oil, oil-enamel and other non-aqueous paints, as well as latex (water-dispersion). Labor productivity when painting with a roller is 3-4 times higher than when working with a brush, especially when painting rough surfaces. To obtain high-quality coating, extensive experience is not necessary. The disadvantages include the fact that when painting with a roller, paint consumption is higher than when working with a brush. In addition, a roller is inferior to a brush in terms of efficiency on uneven and shaped surfaces. The working part of the roller is a wooden, metal or plastic cylinder 10-25 cm long and 4-7 cm in diameter, covered with a rubber sponge, foam rubber or short-pile fur (Fig. 122).

Rice. 122. :
1 - general view; 2 - axle with washer and nut; 3 - metal blowing; 4 - bath with mesh; 5 - sheet of steel with holes; 6 - bucket with mesh

The length of the pile determines the ability of the roller to hold paint, as well as the smoothness of the resulting coating. The smoothest coatings are those applied with short-pile rollers. The cylinder rotates around an axis or together with the axis. The roller is attached to the axle of the fork or console using a nut with a washer or a wire pin. Types of paint rollers: VM - fur-coated rollers for painting with oil paints and enamels; VP - foam-coated rollers for working with latex paints; VMU - fur rollers for painting corners. The first two types of rollers have different widths (up to 300 mm). A roller kit usually includes 2-5 spare covers. In addition to these three types, narrow panel rollers are used in painting to carry decorative panels and paint window frames. Knurling rollers make minor defects of the painted surface invisible and give it a decorative appearance. In modern fork-type paint rollers, the width of the fork is adjustable. Rollers of this type are simpler and more reliable than the cantilever ones shown in Fig. 122. But with a cantilever roller you can also paint the corners of the room, while when using a fork roller the corners are painted with a brush. For painting racks of balcony railings, pipes, etc. use a paired roller mounted in a special machine. When using a paint roller, use a bucket or baking tray in which a metal grid or mesh is installed (Fig. 122, 5 and 6) with a mesh size of about 15 mm. During operation, the roller is dipped into the paint and rolled over the grate 2-3 times (Fig. 123, a). In this way, the roller is evenly covered with paint, freeing itself from its excess, which flows through the grate into a bucket or baking sheet.

Rice. 123. :
a - a set of paint from a bath; b - wall painting

When painting walls (Fig. 123, b), paint is applied to the surface in a zigzag manner, moving the roller from top to bottom and bottom to top. After painting a surface 1-1.5 m wide, it should be treated a second time with a semi-dry roller, moving it from left to right and from right to left - this will allow you to rub the paint evenly over the surface. The ceilings are also painted. Before painting with a roller, it is necessary to paint all places where this tool cannot reach (inner corners of the room, etc.) with a brush. Particularly good results are obtained when painting large surfaces with oil paints, as well as when applying adhesive paints to a well-prepared surface. In this case, the thickness of the hairline of the roller should be 15-20 mm. Table 22 indicates which surfaces are painted with which rollers.

Table 22

Naturally, you need to take care of the roller: moisten it with water before use, and after painting with oil paints, wash the roller, grates and baking sheets with gasoline or kerosene. For a short break and overnight, after rolling on the grid, the cleaned roller can simply be lowered into water. After painting with adhesive paints, the roller is rinsed in warm water. Rollers made of natural fur should not be used to paint surfaces with lime compounds, as they corrode the fur and it is destroyed.

Paint sprayers. When working with lime, glue and casein paints, a very effective painting tool is a paint sprayer (Fig. 124). In 1.5 minutes you can paint about 1m2 of surface.

1 - pump; 2 - nozzle; 3 - pipe; 4 - reservoir; 5 - suction hose; 6 - discharge hose; 7 - pressure bracket; 8 - filter

The quality of the applied coating when using a paint sprayer greatly depends on the viscosity of the paints and emulsions used. An elementary way to determine the viscosity required for operation is to observe the drops falling: the drops should fall at a frequency of one drop per second and not be pulled into a thread. More accurately, the viscosity of the paint is determined by a special viscometer. Normal viscosity corresponds to viscometer readings of 13-16 m. The spray gun consists of a pump, a paint reservoir, which is also a pressure reservoir, and a tubular rod. When working with a hand pump, air is first pumped into the reservoir to a pressure of 1.5-2 atm, then a suction hose filter funnel is installed in the bucket with paint and the paint is pumped from the bucket into the spray gun reservoir. At the same time, the air in the tank is further compressed. When the valve of the injection hose opens, paint under air pressure flows into the injection hose, and from there into the tube with the nozzle, from where it bursts out in a cone-shaped jet (torch), consisting of tiny drops of paint. For the same purposes, a garden hydraulic spray gun and other types of spray guns are used. Water-based paints can be applied to the surface using a spray attachment from a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 125). This attachment is used to coat furniture with varnishes, enamels and paints diluted to the required consistency.

For whitewashing ceilings and spraying adhesive paints, the spray attachment of a vacuum cleaner can only be used with finely ground, high-quality sifted chalk or pigment. Usually a half-liter jar is used, which is due to the length of the suction tube of the spray nozzle (Fig. 125, a). When whitewashing ceilings, it is more convenient to use liter jars, extending the suction tube to the bottom of the vessel (Fig. 125, b). When painting walls, ceilings and other surfaces of the house with oil, synthetic, nitro and other non-aqueous paints, enamels and varnishes, a spray gun is often used. Some fast-drying and viscous nitro and salt paints are applied to the surface only with such a gun.

In Fig. 126 shows a diagram of painting a wall with a spray gun. Compressed air from the compressor is supplied through a hose to the gun, where it meets the paint supplied from the can and then sprays it in the form of tiny drops onto the surface to be painted. How to properly hold the spray gun during operation is shown in Fig. 127. There are some other auxiliary devices and materials used in painting work, for example, a painting mitt (for painting pipes and other curved surfaces); splash screen (used when painting wooden products); branch lines (for connecting places painted in different colors); protective adhesive tapes (protect from contamination of unpainted areas).

Tools for painting work.
Brushes.
There are several varieties, each of which has its own name. The use of one or another type of brush depends on the type of work being performed.
Swing brushes– used when painting large surfaces of walls and ceilings. Fly brushes are produced mainly in large sizes (diameter 60-65 mm). The length of the hair of the fly brush is about 100mm; the hair itself can be additionally strengthened with a metal ring. It is not very convenient to work with a brush with such long hair, so for ease of work they resort to shortening the length of the hair by tying it (winding it) with strong twine 2-3 mm thick. The width of the winding must be at least 50mm.

Handbrake– these are small brushes (diameter 26-54mm) with a short handle, used for painting small surfaces with glue and oil paints. Handbrake handles are pre-tied with twine, which is gradually unwound during work as the hair wears out, thereby increasing its length. The handbrake tying is done in such a way that the length of the remaining hair is no more than 40 mm for large handbrake handles and 25-30 mm for small handbrake handles.

Flutes– wide flat brushes, 25-100mm wide, used to smooth out unevenness of paint and varnish coatings after performing work with a hand brush or handbrake. Flutes are often used directly for coloring.

Whitewash brushes– used for finishing surfaces with adhesive and casein paints. Externally, the whitewash brush resembles a flute, has a width of 200mm, a thickness of 45-65mm, and a hair length of up to 100mm. Using whitewash brushes allows you to achieve a cleaner surface color than using hand brushes. In addition, whitewash brushes are 2 times more productive than fly brushes.

Maklovitsa– consists of a block with bristles and a handle attached to the middle of the block (with screws or tightly). The pads can be round or rectangular. The length of the bristles of this brush is up to 100mm. Paint brushes, like whitewash brushes, are recommended for use on glue and casein paints. Just like fly brushes, poppet brushes are used when painting large surfaces.

Trimming– a rectangular brush made of hard ridge bristles. Used to treat freshly painted surfaces. The trimmer is applied evenly, smoothing out the unevenness of the paint applied with a brush. Typically, surfaces painted with adhesive and oil paint are subject to trimming. The trimmer must remain dry and clean, so it must be wiped as often as possible during operation.

File brushes- designed for drawing out narrow strips, called panels, painting small surfaces, as well as hard-to-reach places where the handbrake does not fit. File brushes can be round or flat. They are made from white, hard bristles mounted in a metal frame with a diameter of 6-18mm. If necessary, panel tassels, like handbrake handles, can be tied.

Rollers– often used when painting instead of a brush. With their help you can get a textured surface “like shagreen”.

Rollers come in fur and foam. For painting surfaces with oil and enamel compositions, fur rollers are used, and for painting with water-based compositions, foam rollers are used. Rollers are made with a diameter from 40 to 70 mm and a length from 100 to 300 mm. To work with a roller, you need a machine consisting of a handle, a rod and an axis. The roller is put on the machine axis and fixed to it with a washer and nut.

Spatulas– used in painting work for applying and leveling (smoothing) a layer of putty on surfaces prepared for painting, as well as for cleaning these surfaces. Spatulas can be metal or wood, can have a variety of shapes and differ somewhat from each other in their design.

A metal spatula consists of a blade cut from elastic thin steel (0.5-1 mm), a shank attached to the blade, and a handle mounted on the shank.

Dry hardwood is used to make wooden spatulas. To prevent warping, wooden spatulas are additionally impregnated with hot drying oil, and after puttying work they are stored, inserted into the crevice between two boards knocked down at an angle.

Spatulas with wide blades are used when puttingtying large surfaces, with narrow blades when puttingtying bars, doors, frames, etc. Spatulas with teeth at the end of the blade are used when applying mastics and adhesives to surfaces.

While working, it is advisable to have several different spatulas on hand. In some cases, instead of metal spatulas, strips of hard rubber with evenly cut edges are used. To make these strips convenient to use, they are clamped into a wooden or metal handle.

Varieties and adaptations of painting tools for household work, as well as types of paint brushes, spray guns and spray guns.

People who have never done painting work on a professional level think that the tools for this work are only rollers and brushes. However, this is not the case. Painting tools are presented on the construction market in all their diversity.

Types of painting tools

1. Spatulas, both rubber and metal, which are used to prepare the surface for upcoming work. A rubber spatula is necessary to smooth out those surfaces that are rounded.
2. Chop cord will be needed in order to apply straight lines to the surface. It is used in the process of painting and wallpapering.
3. Plumb and level used while marking is being applied. It is necessary for precise horizontal and vertical lines.
4. Grater, which has the ability to fix sandpaper or mesh. Such a tool is necessary for preparatory work, however, it can also be used for painting work, when the previous layer of paint is sanded, after which a new one is applied.

Other painting tools

• Brushes
• Brushes
• Metal brushes
• Rollers
• Spray guns
• Roulette
• A wooden slate, a pencil - you can’t do without them when you make markings.
• Wallpaper cutting knife
• Containers where paint, varnish and glue will be poured.
• A drill with a mixer attachment for stirring paint
• Sponges
• Rags used to remove stains
• Stencils
• Patterns that are used to obtain complex patterns when painting or wallpapering.

Brushes and brooms are the most common types of painting tools. It is best to buy brushes made from natural bristles. The thing is that they are more durable. When you choose brushes, you should choose hard hair, since soft hair will bend to one side during the repair work, and the paint will lay down in an uneven layer. It is inconvenient to work with such a brush if its bristles are too long, and therefore it is best to tie it with twine.

Types of paint brushes

Rinse brushes, which are necessary to wash off the old whitewash and apply a primer, sweeping brushes, which are used to sweep away dust and debris. There are also such types of brushes as: fly brush, flute brush, maklovitsa, handbrake, panel, trim.

Swing brushes— are large-sized brushes, available with round handles or in the form of tufts of hair. The diameter of such a brush is usually 60-65 millimeters, the length of the hair is usually 100 millimeters. Such brushes are necessary in order to apply different compositions over large areas.

Flute brush It is a flat brush with a metal crimp. It has a width of 25-100 millimeters. The main function of such a brush is to remove stains by smoothing, however, such brushes can also be used to apply paint.
A brush - a macular brush - is a round brush, the diameter of which is 125, 175 millimeters, the length of the hair is 85-95 millimeters. The brush can be rectangular in shape, with its width being 200 millimeters, thickness – 45-60 millimeters, and hair length being 100 millimeters.

This brush usually uses horsehair, pork bristles, and nylon. The brush is used for whitewashing, as well as for applying adhesive in the process of wallpapering the surface of walls.

Brush - handbrake is a round brush with a diameter of 26-54 millimeters. It is used to apply adhesive and oil compositions to the surfaces of small perimeters. These brushes use horsehair and bristles. It is recommended to use a brush with a metal crimp.

Fileting brush, as a rule, has a rectangular shape, the diameter of which is 7-17 millimeters. It is used for applying thin lines, that is, panels, as well as for painting hard-to-reach areas. These brushes are made from high-stiffness bristles.

Trimming brush It is, as a rule, rectangular in shape, the dimensions of which are 154x76 millimeters. It is usually used to level out uneven surfaces left by a brush on a newly painted surface, and the surface is leveled by applying end blows. These brushes are made from hard bristles. While working with this brush, you should wipe it, and the more often, the better. It is necessary to wipe your brushes so that they remain dry.

Radiator brushes They have a flat shape with a curved end. They are used to paint heating radiators, that is, batteries. They are sometimes used for painting interior corners of walls.
Metal brushes are necessary in cases where it is necessary to prepare a metal surface for painting.

Paint roller helps to significantly improve work productivity. The attachments required for the roller are made of foam rubber, velor, artificial or natural fur, and rubber. They are necessary in order to apply paints or adhesives. Rubber rollers are used in the wallpapering process. Rollers with textured attachments are also available for sale. With their help, a variety of patterns are created on the surface that is planned to be painted.

Spray guns and spray guns– effective tools that allow you to obtain high quality after painting the surface. Such tools help to apply whitewash compositions, as well as paint and varnish compositions. If you use these tools, it is important to ensure that the compositions are viscous, but not too viscous, as this will make it difficult to use these tools.
Naturally, upon completion of work, all tools must be thoroughly washed.
