A breathable paint on a porous surface
The brick is a porous and breathable material that balances the moisture peaks of the room air by absorbing moisture from the room air when the air is moist and released when the room air is dry. Smooth humidity keeps the room air healthy.
In order to maintain the properties that maintain the moisture balance of the brick, its surface treatment must be done with plastic -free and inhaling products. Natural oil-based water-borne Uula interior paint is the perfect choice for painting brick and various rock surfaces indoors as it allows moisture to pass in the structure in a way that is characterized.
The full matt paint is the porous of the glossy
The frosted gloss is the porous and breathable, and maintains the natural mat of the brick surface and gives it a velvety and full feeling. The semi -matt surface also breathes well, it is slightly more shiny and when the light hits at a certain angle, it reflects light lightly. The semi -matt paint surface is also harder, making it easier to wipe or wash it.

Uula interior paint is also ideal for painting a brick. The frosted gloss is not only the porous but also the heat resistant due to its high chalk content. It withstands heat to about 100 ° C, which is an exceptionally high temperature on the outside of the brick.
Cleaning the aggregate surface before painting
The surfaces to be painted are cleaned and the wall should be dry before the painting begins. It is advisable to use a brush and a vacuum cleaner to clean the rock surface. If there is soot or other dirt on the surface, Uula paint washing is an effective alkaline detergent for cleaning fat and soot. Dip the washable surface moderately, so the soot that loosen the soot does not stain clean surfaces as the water flows down.
Allow the washed surface to dry thoroughly. If you paint a fireplace, allow the bricks to cool after heating to room temperature before painting. On a warm surface, the paint dries too fast and does not have enough time to absorb.
