Fur coat house decoration: advantages and disadvantages

Plaster facade fur coat has advantages as well as disadvantages.

It is advisable that you familiarize yourself with them before purchasing the material:

• Well, a rather high argument is the price, it is quite low.
• Do-it-yourself fur coat facade plaster is applied without problems and this reduces finishing costs.

• The "fur coat" protects the facade of the building from atmospheric influences;
• Ease of application allows you to cover the building in a short period of time;
• By adding a certain dye to the solution, you can get a facade of any color;
• You can get a "fur coat" of various structures by adding components of different grain sizes to the solution;
• No need for preparatory work;
• The "fur coat" does not greatly increase the weight of the structure;
• Economically advantageous, since it involves the use of inexpensive components.

• Unevenness of the surface allows dust to collect;
• "Fur coat" is very difficult to fit into modern design solutions;
• Very low thermal insulation properties.

Correct application of the material

The instructions for the application are simple. Here, all you have to do is exercise caution and ensure that the solution is ready.

Facade preparation

You can cover any surface, including wood, concrete, and brick, with this technology. If finishing wooden surfaces is necessary, a slightly different technology is employed: the surface is primed with a unique substance prior to the application of the "fur coat."

The extent of plastering work is determined by the surface’s technical state:

• If the wall has irregularities of no more than 2 cm, then there is no need to carry out any special preparatory work other than cleaning the surface;
• If unevenness is more than 2 cm, the wall requires leveling using rough plaster with sand-cement mortar (see. Cement-sand plaster: features of the material);
• If the surface is old and there are signs of destruction, then these chips and cracks should be removed. If the surface is strong enough, then for better adhesion to the “fur coat” notches are made on it;
• The same technique can be used if the wall is lined with facing bricks that have a glossy surface.

Plastering a building “under a fur coat”

You can use mixtures with various components to accomplish this. The primary factor is that this combination is meant to be used outside. In dire circumstances, it can be made on its own.

We prepare the mixture

A sand-cement mixture is used to plaster surfaces "under a fur coat":

• As a rule, river sand and cement grade M300 or M400 are used to prepare the solution, in a ratio of 3:1.
• First, the components are mixed dry, and then diluted with water to the required consistency: a consistency similar to that of mashed potatoes is considered normal.

Note: You must prepare a small amount of solution and test it on a small area in order to choose the desired texture. The density of the solution can be adjusted to change the texture; the more pronounced the texture, the thicker the solution.

There are ways to enhance the facade’s appeal and intrigue:

• If you add a suitable dye to the finished solution. The painted "fur coat" does not fade in the sun and retains its color for a long time;
• Play with the texture of the "fur coat" if you add enamel paint and putty to the finished composition, in a ratio of 50/50;
• Add pieces of white, multi-colored glass or marble chips to the solution, etc.d.

Handmade fur coat plaster facades are possible. In addition, factories package it during production, and businesses can also choose to package it.

Plaster with a fur coat facade is a practical and adaptable option for enhancing and safeguarding building exteriors. In addition to adding visual appeal, its thick, textured finish offers superior insulation and weather resistance. This kind of plaster is perfect for a variety of climates because it is made to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Through comprehension of its distinct characteristics and appropriate implementation methods, you can guarantee a robust and appealing façade that endures over time.

Technology for applying a "fur coat" to the facade

Since this method of finishing buildings has been used for a long time, many technologies have been developed for it.

Preparatory stage

The following steps should be taken to prepare a surface that is reasonably smooth:

• Cleaning the surface from dirt, dust and small lumps of mortar. For this, you can successfully use a metal brush;
• If the building is of considerable age, then it will not hurt to treat it with an antiseptic;
• Mandatory coating of the surface with a deep-penetrating primer, which will improve the adhesion of the "fur coat" to the surface.

• Spraying the "fur coat" on a concrete or brick base, without plastering, will take much more time and effort.
• If the rough plaster is done neatly and there are no large drips or cavities, then it does not need to be rubbed down.

• The essence of the method is that a wooden lath is held at a distance of 30-40 cm from the surface, which is hit with a broom.
• The broom is first dipped in plaster mortar. The splashes resulting from the blows fly towards the surface and form a textured pattern called a "fur coat".
• Professionalism lies in evenly covering the entire surface, without leaving gaps, but making the pattern uniform.

• After applying a certain layer, the mesh is removed from the surface, and in its place remains a solution with a certain pattern.
• The disadvantage of this technology is the difficulty of joining individual fragments so that there are no gaps.

Technical means of obtaining a "fur coat"

Given that fur coats were highly fashionable once, it is not surprising that technologies were developed for achieving this type of cladding using specialized equipment.

1. Such a surface can be obtained using a compressor. It makes it possible to process large areas in a short period of time without disturbing the main pattern.
2. Machine for applying a "fur coat". Plaster is applied to the surface using a rotating drum. When using such a machine, labor productivity increases significantly, but the share of manual labor here is much higher than when using a compressor.

It is important to keep in mind that plastering a building’s facade requires treating the wall with the same solution all at once.

Colored painting of the facade of a house "under a fur coat"

At the preparatory stage, a dye is added to the plaster solution to create a colored (multicolored) "fur coat."

• Its amount should be such that the required shade with good saturation is obtained.
• The colored "fur coat" practically does not fade, which makes it possible to use such a surface for a long time without repainting.

Be aware that a single mixture will result in a constant color. However, it might be a different shade after another mix. After all, the amount and volume of sand in addition to the dye itself matter in this situation.

Painting with a spray gun

This method is not only the most cost-effective but also the most appropriate for painting the "fur coat." The paint breaks down into tiny splashes under the force of high pressure, covering the entire surface in a uniform layer.

• Before applying the paint, the surface of the "fur coat" should be cleaned and covered with a primer (see. Facade primer – its types and application).
• Finishing the facades of a building under a "fur coat" is a fairly affordable and relatively cheap way to give the building a decorative look. The technology is not very complicated, which makes it possible to master it in a short time, and by showing imagination and adding dyes or other components to the plaster solution, you can give the building an exclusive appearance.

Be aware that it is difficult to repaint the finished surface if necessary. It is unlikely that you will be able to paint the surface using a brush or roller because the surface has a specific pattern created by the adhering drops of the solution. You can’t even try using a roller; you can try using a brush, but it will require a lot of paint and time.

For building exteriors, facade fur coat plaster provides a long-lasting and eye-catching finish. It is a well-liked option in a variety of climates due to its resilience to severe weather. By using this plaster, you can improve your facade’s insulation and protection in addition to its visual appeal.

It’s essential to use the right application methods when using facade fur coat plaster to guarantee a smooth and durable finish. The optimal result depends on surface preparation, mixing ratios, and application techniques. When used correctly, this plaster can greatly increase how long the facade of your building lasts.

All things considered, facade fur coat plaster blends style and utility, making it a wise investment for upkeep and building aesthetics. Its adaptability and durability guarantee that it will always be a dependable option for exterior wall décor.
