Magnetic paint: new items in interior design

Starting the repair of a single room or a whole house, divided into zones, each of us is in search of unique innovations and inspirational ideas. The stores for repair and construction are filled with advertising for new materials, but the most unique options are sometimes ignored.

Have you often thought about how to use the walls, making them a separate element of the interior? And how to make the most of them and give them not only an aesthetic, but also a practical function? Technology does not stand still, and this idea became a reality thanks to magnetic paint.

To understand how magnetic paint works, let's take a look at the composition and some of the characteristics of this material.

It is because of its unique composition that magnetic paint is endowed with practical properties, which significantly distinguish it from any other coatings. The iron particles in the composition give the covered surface a magnet effect: this allows you to attach photographs, calendars and much more to the surface without special and familiar holes in the wall, thus allowing the surface to remain smooth.

In addition to the main distinguishing ingredient - particles of iron, the basis of the material is water-based painthaving a latex basis. Very often one can come across a rather synonymous concept of “magnetic soil”.The use of this material spread after the magnetic paints began to be used to coat the slate surfaces. Thus, the magnetic properties of paint are enhanced by the ability to write with chalk on a slate sheet.

Of the features of magnetic inks emit:

• Adhesion (adhesion) with different wall surfaces, which expands the range and possibilities of its application, the only condition is the smoothness of the surface. The most common materials that are coated with magnetic paints are concrete, wood, plywood, as well as painting fiberboard, chipboard, gypsum fiber board, gypsum board.
• The absence of the usual smells of paint or any other: magnetic paints absolutely do not have them.
• The soil is not poisonous and is recognized as an ecological building material, which expands the boundaries of use, for example, allowing it to be used in educational and medical institutions, children's rooms.

• High fire resistance coating.
• The unique ability to reduce the power of harmful radiation from technology.
• The primer coating can be covered with wallpaper, while the magnetic properties will not be lost.

Any material has its own characteristics in the direct application or preparation for finishing.

In the case of graphite coating, such steps will be no more than when working with conventional paints:

• Surface preparation for the application of the material is cleaning from any kind of dirt. If the wall has already been painted with varnish or other paint before applying a magnetic primer, remove any traces of other material as much as possible (solvent may be used). After cleaning the surface is thoroughly dried.
• Perfect smoothness. Make sure that all damages and joints are properly filled, remove any other irregularities.

• After cleaning and leveling, the surface is coated in several layers with a deep penetration primer. Before applying each subsequent layer, make sure that the previous application is completely dry.

• After two or three layers of dried soil, magnetic paint is applied.Masters also recommend applying several coats of paint. Due to the compaction of the material, the magnetic properties are enhanced, which allows you to easily attach more massive objects to the wall.

• To avoid stained surfaces adjacent to the future magnetic board, you can glue the outlines with paper tape: it can be easily removed after the material is completely dry. The masters advise to apply the metal paint itself with long-piled rollers, smoothing each layer after application with a spatula.
• A special nuance when working with the material: if in the future you expect wet cleaning of the wall, then in order to avoid premature wear, you should initially give preference to first class material.

For more information about applying a magnetic marker coating, you can see in the next video.

There are several options for packaging metal paint: in cans and in standard cans.Often, the first association in the head is the standard black chalk paint and blackboard chalk lettering on it, but in fact a certain color palette is on the market.

Magnetic coatings are a novelty on the market of paint and varnish solutions, so the range is not so wide yet, but preferring a proven manufacturer, you can avoid many unpleasant consequences.

One of these manufacturers is the domestic brand Siberia. Having collected a lot of positive reviews on the market, the company’s line of products represents marker, slate and magnetic paints.

This paint is particularly durable. The color ruler is not replete with diversity, but the advantage gives the possibility of tinting colors.The paint contains a special antiseptic that prevents the appearance of fungus, even in wet areas.

The company from Holland, engaged in the manufacture and distribution of magnetic paints from the very beginning of our century. She has already managed to patent herself in the market and find those buyers who continue to return, giving their preference to the quality of the goods provided.

A Finnish manufacturer who is familiar to anyone who has ever taken a stand for the choice of materials, if not for repairs. Professional paint manufacturer, a market leader and a company with a rich history.

Paints covered with a marker or slate top find their extensive use in interior decoration. Anyway, the calculations show that a magnetic wall with the ability to write on it with different materials, as well as to fix something, is cheaper for the owner than various information, slate or cork boards. Of course, it is impossible not to mention the brevity of appearance: the surface can be of any size and shape, as well as applied to various coatings, which also increases the vastness of its application. Let's take a look at this using paint in different rooms as an example.

Infinite space for creativity. Drawing on the walls is no longer prohibited, which means that you can use different shades of markers and chalk as a tool for self-expression. You can decorate the walls in one theme, draw a schedule on them containing the daily routine for schoolchildren and teenagers, or simple rules of behavior and etiquette for babies.

Not enough space for creativity? Do you train in lettering? Learn foreign languages? This and the other can be realized with the help of a magnetic board in the interior of the kitchen.

The ability to create your own photo panel with your hands right at the head of the bed. Diversify your room with pictures, favorite posters or a quote from your favorite movie. Two in one: romance and practicality.

In the catering, magnetic walls are also very common, especially with slate base. In the same way, the menu, coffee and bar cards are often drawn up depending on the direction of the establishment.

How to correctly place training materials? The convenience of magnetic walls allows you to easily change the current posters and other educational materials as often as necessary.If you replace the usual format of the board with such an unusual novelty, classrooms will be filled with a touch of modernity. Such walls make it possible to arrange real themed immersions and surprise students of absolutely different ages.
