Paint removal

Over time, even the most expensive high-quality paint loses its aesthetic and user-friendly qualities. In such a situation, it is important to update the surface coating, and for this it is necessary to remove a layer of old paint. It is quite difficult to do this without significant labor costs. Therefore, it is worth seeking help from professional workers. The company LLC "RBK ALBA" will perform paint removal work, providing the customer with a surface fully prepared for further processing.

Features of paint removal by Kiev masters

The company's employees work with any type of surface, ensuring the removal of various types of paint. Before the start of work, it is necessary to conduct testing on a small segment - in order to choose the optimal method of cleaning the wall. At the same time, the following features of the material to be removed are taken into account:

• Water-based paint. In this case, a manual tool in the form of a spatula is chosen for cleaning the surface. A roller or sprayer is also used to wet the treated surface. Sandpaper with a grain of a large fraction helps to finally remove the remains of the paint.
• Acrylic paint. If it was applied relatively recently, then it is washed off with warm water and a cloth. A stronger layer is recommended to be cleaned with a spatula or a sander. If necessary, a construction hair dryer or special chemical cleaners can also be used.
• Oil paint, varnish or enamel. This material is the most difficult to remove, so different methods or a combination of them can be used here.

Ways to remove old paint from walls

Before starting work, the masters assess the condition of the surface to be treated according to several criteria. This makes it possible to choose the most correct method for removing the paint layer. The main material of the surface is determined - concrete, metal, brick, wood, plaster. The strength of the applied layer and the thickness of the coating are determined. The type of paint and the presence of cracks or peeling on the wall, facade, ceiling or floor are also determined.

In general, specialists use three basic methods when removing paint from concrete and metal or from another surface:

• Chemical. It involves the use of a special liquid or jelly-like wash. At the first stage, the substance is distributed over the entire surface to completely soften the structure of the coating. After some time, the soft paint is easily cleaned with a spatula. This method works with any material, mainly on surfaces with complex relief.
• Thermal. In this situation, a blowtorch, construction hair dryer or gas burner is used. The old paint layer is treated with a hot stream of air, after which it softens and becomes covered with bubbles. Then it can be cleaned with a scraper. The method is well suited for working on wooden surfaces covered with many layers of paint.
• Mechanical. The method consists of grinding or scraping. The paint is removed manually using an electric or conventional tool - a chisel, an ax, a spatula, a grinder, a sander, a drill with a special nozzle, etc. The method works well on smooth and strong surfaces.
