1. Preparing the house for painting : furniture should be moved away from the walls to the center of the room and covered with plastic. Cover the floor near the wall with plastic or paper for a distance of at least 1.5 meters, attach with adhesive paper. remove any object hanging on the walls: photos, paintings, television, speakers, souvenirs, etc. cover with adhesive tape and nylon – panels, door frames, windows, doors, sockets and circuit breakers disassemble frames and carefully cover with masking tape to prevent contact, God forbid, permanent furniture such as wall cabinets, bathroom and kitchen etc. Nails and screws and protruding dowels must be removed to allow continuous painting with a roller. Wrap ceiling and wall lamps in plastic so that there is no direct contact between the heating lamp and the plastic. Very carefully – removing all the external plastic parts of the electrical switches and electrical sockets and wrapping the rest with an easy-to-remove adhesive tape.
2. Preparing the walls for painting:  go over the walls with a damp cloth to remove dust, remove loose paint by scraping and polishing with glass paper, dust removal, a suitable and strong  Dunbrol -type bonding primer layer, a suitable putty from  the American Dunbar putty type  to fill holes from drilling and nails, align dents and repair broken wall corners, Treatment of capillary cracks – widening and deepening and filling with American Dunbar putty, for structural cracks that exceed 3 mm we will use  flexible , multi-thick acrylic Dunbar putty, and for large cracks we will add a bandage to prevent re-cracking, this is one of the most important steps in the work process – proper preparation of the walls will form a solid foundation The paint, which will last for many years, will lead not only to a better result but also to much less difficult cleaning work at the end of the job. Improper preparation of the walls will later cause cracks in the paint and peeling, and this in a relatively short time.

3. Walls with mold:  mold is caused by condensation resulting from insufficient insulation of the wall or the penetration of rainwater from the outer wall on which the mold appears. To prevent the penetration of rainwater from the wall, apply a water-repellent  siloxane 290 sealer on the outer wall  in at least two layers to ensure the sealing of the wall from the penetration of rainwater. We will remove the mold on the inner wall by scraping with a putty first, then rubbing with scotch tape dipped in bleach, and the mold area must be smeared with an  anti-fungus solution  for 24 hours. Wash with water and paint the first layer with  Bacterinol paint .

4. Painting the ceiling:  preparations for painting as in section 1 and preparation of the area as in section 2 above. For ceilings, it is recommended to paint with  Danberside paint, a “breathing” white paint that does not need to have transitory properties such as washability and abrasion resistance, since it is not accessible to the touch like the walls. It is recommended to paint 2 layers. If thermal insulation is needed for top floor residents, 2-3 layers of  Thermosil 200 can be painted  for thermal insulation from the summer heat or winter cold. And for residents of mezzanine floors who suffer from the noise of dragging furniture or feet from the neighbor above, Thermosil 200 will provide acoustic insulation that will reduce these noises. The application as a normal color and eliminates the need for dyeing with Danberside.
