New construction and finishing materials. Modern materials for home decoration. What materials are required for each type of finish?
The development of modern building materials technology makes it possible to build cheaper and faster. Frame-panel and monolithic houses, buildings made of foam concrete and wood concrete, which until recently were perceived as exotic, are now becoming classics of the genre.
Oddly enough, the closest attention of potential developers is focused not on construction technologies, but on new materials for home finishing. And this is understandable, for the vast majority it is not enough to build the box of a building; you also need to be able to present the goods face-to-face or make a very precise and expressive decoration of the house.
The most popular new finishing methods
Traditionally, a wide range of materials for finishing a newly built building is divided into several large groups:
- Decorative materials for interior finishing work. This also includes floor and ceiling coverings, wall finishing materials for auxiliary rooms;
- Facing and protective coatings used in finishing the facade of a building;
- Coverings for bedrooms and children's rooms;
- Universal materials based on ceramics, composites and plastics.
For your information! Most new materials and coatings represent further technological developments of traditional finishing methods.
Most manufacturers follow this approach to developing new materials for two reasons. Firstly, it is easier and faster to overcome a person’s psychological barrier to the perception of new materials. Secondly, a modified product is much easier to sell than a completely new product.
Traditionally, the development of new materials proceeds in three directions:
- Getting a new look. For example, most of today's new wallpapers have such a range of paints, patterns and colors that were previously simply technically unavailable for production;
- Improvement of old finishing characteristics. With the introduction of new technologies for the production of ceramics and porcelain stoneware, the design, quality and durability of floor and wall tiles have increased by an order of magnitude;
- Increasing the safety and environmental friendliness of coatings, especially for children, people suffering from allergies and intolerance to certain groups of chemical compounds. Demand for new, safer finishing options is growing much faster than for coatings with unusual appearance.
The bulk of new finishing materials have emerged through the widespread use of gypsum mixtures, acrylic and polyurethane resins, and the production of updated types of ceramics and compounds. Technologies producing materials for exterior decoration of houses have received the greatest development.
New technologies and materials for facade finishing.
Truly innovative in the cladding of facades and external walls was the emergence of new building mixtures for producing decorative plaster and the introduction of a new principle of surface-mounted finishing.
New plaster and paint coatings
Decorative plaster based on acrylic resins and many different marble or calcite fillers made it possible not only to change the color and texture of the walls, but also to give them a new look by simulating natural stone or forming a certain surface relief. This coating practically does not fade in the sun, is not afraid of rain and frost, and if the application technology is followed, it can stay on the walls for more than ten years.
The disadvantages of plaster materials include the high dependence of the quality of new coatings on the qualifications of the plasterer; in addition, most of the work has to be done manually, especially at the stage of forming the texture of the walls.
Important! A real discovery in the field of finishing facade walls was the emergence of new water-soluble acrylic, water-based and water-dispersed paints, which have a colossal number of new shades and colors.
With their appearance, the outer walls and facade of the house can be painted in the most exquisite tones and colors. In the vast majority of cases, new paint and varnish materials for the exterior of the house made it possible to give old and gray concrete buildings a fresh, updated look with minimal effort.
Decorating external walls with hanging decor
With the introduction of frame finishing technologies, it became possible to radically change the appearance of buildings, giving the walls a completely new look. For example, using thermal panels with glued porcelain stoneware tiles or imitation natural stone for finishing makes it possible to give an old cinder block building the appearance of ancient masonry made of natural stone, facing brick, or even very accurately imitate wooden walls made of timber or rounded logs.
Similar results in finishing can be achieved by cladding building facades with more durable panels of plastic and metal-plastic siding, a wooden block house, and even new modified lining. Unlike thermal panels, new plastic and wooden cladding panels are easier and cheaper to install, therefore they are most often used in combination with new thermal insulation coatings.
In addition to hanging decor, new ceramic facing materials are increasingly being used to decorate walls - bricks and tiles made of porcelain stoneware and hyper-pressed mixtures. The new type of finishing is cheaper than traditional facing bricks, and is not inferior to it in durability and appearance.
Most of the new technologies are, in fact, universal and are used in the development of new materials for interior decoration.
What's new in home interior decoration
Most of the innovations in interior decoration concerned the development and use of new finishing mixtures, the use of plasterboard and MDF panels for wall repairs, the use of porcelain tiles for floor finishing and the installation of self-leveling floors. In fact, most of the new products are already known materials for exterior finishing, adapted for interior use.
A real discovery in the matter of interior decoration was the emergence of hand painting and new environmentally friendly natural materials.
Relief and graphics
Applying graphic images to the walls of an apartment or house cannot be considered a truly new type of decor. Wall painting has been known for several thousand years. But with the advent of high-quality gypsum and decorative plasters, it became possible to create an ideal background or base for applying a picture.
Hand painting instantly turned into an exclusive type of decoration, along with photo wallpaper and 3D decor.
Graphic images have become fashionable, especially in thematically oriented design of rooms using natural materials, specially made interior items and design.
The new 3D photo wallpapers and tiles with a printed photo are considered very interesting. After the room, the perception of space and perspective completely changes. A simple technique allows you to visually increase the spatial perception of small rooms, for example, a bathroom and a bedroom.
Natural materials
Traditionally, finishing from natural materials was limited to laying wooden parquet and gluing standard paper wallpaper using adhesive solutions based on modified cellulose. The modern interpretation of environmentally friendly premises is increasingly forcing homeowners to abandon vinyl or non-woven wallpaper in favor of more exotic trellises made of cork, reed or woven bamboo fiber.
It is no secret that even new gypsum plaster mixtures contain surfactants, polymer plasticizers and dyes, so compound plaster materials based on finely ground silicon and lime are increasingly used to decorate the most important rooms in the house. The use of natural types of plaster is considered an absolute novelty, for example, Moroccan tadelakt - a waterproof coating without dyes and synthetic binders.
The most expensive type of finishing is the use of genuine leather and fabrics made of cotton, linen and jute.
New panel materials for finishing walls and ceilings
The advent of frame finishing of interior spaces has made it possible to solve the issue of repairing old rooms with crooked walls at a completely new level. Instead of throwing tens of kilograms of cement-sand mass, to level the surface, a relatively simple technology is used for laying flat, glass-like gypsum plasterboards on a pre-mounted steel profile frame. With the help of new technology, it turned out to be possible to level and cover walls even with extremely curvature of the surface.
Along with plasterboard for finishing work, MDF boards made from pressed cellulose fibers began to be used. The outer surface of this material is covered with a laminated layer that imitates wood, stone, or tile. The new, lightweight and flexible material can be used to decorate ceilings and walls, simulating cladding made from expensive types of wood or natural stone.
A relatively new technology for finishing ceilings is the use of heat-shrinkable polyvinyl chloride membranes. To decorate the ceiling surface, it is enough to stretch a thin polymer sheet onto a pre-assembled frame and heat the surface with a heat gun. As a result of shrinkage, the membrane is leveled to a mirror state, hiding defects and problem areas of the ceiling.
New floor materials
Among the new materials used for floor finishing, we can mention the appearance of self-leveling floors, the use of heavy-duty multi-layer linoleum and the creation of parquet flooring from tongue-and-groove boards.
The self-leveling floor is a mixture of mineral filler and water-soluble polymer resin. Using a low-viscosity but fast-hardening mixture, you can make a perfectly flat floor, which is subsequently covered with laminate or parquet boards. It is almost impossible to achieve such a surface quality by grinding or pouring concrete screed.
Commercial brands of linoleum of classes 33 and 34 can rightfully be considered a new finishing material. Unlike domestic grades 21 and 23, the new material has an additional polyurethane coating, which ensures a service life of one and a half decades. Home linoleum will have to be replaced at least once every 5 years.
One of the most successful new materials for floor finishing is considered to be a coating made from parquet boards, like laminate. Simplicity of assembly and installation is combined with high strength and durability of the material.
Conclusion
New materials for finishing premises and the facade of a house not only simplify the work, but in some cases also make it possible to do it yourself, which means the cost of finishing operations is reduced by 20-30%. In addition to their attractive appearance, decorative coatings become safer and at the same time more durable.
The spring season of interior exhibitions and events has ended, from which we can say with confidence that, despite all the limiting factors, the interior industry is growing and developing every year, and new finishing materials and technologies are appearing on the market. What the designers paid attention to and what they highlighted among interesting interior ideas, we will tell you in this article. Designer Valeria Belousova, who actively attends all interior exhibitions and selects interesting new items from a variety of finishing materials, notes 4 main directions in tile finishing: New technologies make it possible to turn ordinary porcelain stoneware into an imitation of marble, onyx, mother-of-pearl and even metal, wood or fabric. Speaking of wood, the modern trend in the development of eco-style allows you to save on finishing with natural wood and create its texture using ordinary tiles. Another trend in decoration is bright accents. This is confirmed by a variety of pop art and patchwork finishes. Interesting comic book stories will be elegantly combined with pastel finishes, and the patchwork tile layout technology will create an interesting play of colors, patterns and textures. If we talk about new products in finishing materials, then we cannot fail to mention Krion - a new generation acrylic stone that feels reminiscent of natural stone, but is warmer in texture. With it, you can even create streamlined shapes without joints, to avoid the accumulation of dirt. It can be used both in the interior and exterior. Architect Natalya Guseva I am sure that the new is the well-forgotten old. Among such new products, the architect notes ordinary plywood. Modern processing technologies allow you to create interesting finishes for walls, countertops, ceilings and floors. This is a durable, environmentally friendly, moisture-resistant and beautiful coating that can be painted and get interesting aesthetic compositions! Decorator Yulia Solovyova notes the expansion of the 3D wall panels market. If previously 3D panels could not be used when decorating wet areas, today such panels are produced according to the principles of ceramic tiles, so they become an excellent design option for kitchen splashbacks and bathrooms. Elena Krylova – interior designer, which actively promotes eco-design in Russia, has found interesting finishing solutions that have a positive effect on human health. For example, adsorbent 3D wall panels that absorb toxic substances from the air. Another option for “healthy” home decoration is salt panels. In addition to being an elegant interior accent, they are also an excellent air ionizer. The designer also notes cleansing wallpaper, the structure of which contains a natural material that recognizes and destroys unpleasant odors at the molecular level. Interesting innovative technologies also exist for facades and window treatments. For example, a line of special films is practically invisible on glass and at the same time is impact-resistant, protects the house from, has a cooling effect, anti-glare properties, is easy to clean and reflects light from oppositely located bright objects. And for facades, there are already shielding paints to protect the house from electromagnetic radiation and provide a therapeutic effect on the body. There are also new products in the field of engineering. For example, interesting solutions have appeared on the market that are ready to replace the heating radiators familiar to everyone with “warm baseboards”. “Warm plinth” (14 cm high and 3 cm wide), and, according to Alexander Vasiliev, head of the company distributing this product, the plinth does not dry out the air, distributes temperature evenly, does not raise dust, creating a healthy microclimate in the room, eliminating premises from such side effects as “crying windows”, fungus and mold. Those designers who have already used warm baseboards in the interiors of houses and apartments confirm its advantages. Interior designer Elena Tikhonova: “This universal product can be used in any interior, has two connection options, which also save energy, is safe for wooden furniture and antiques, and at the same time, due to the induction method, evenly distributes heat in the room.” And thanks to its compact size and wide decoration possibilities, it can fit into any interior. The best part is that such innovative solutions are the merit of a domestic manufacturer. As we see, the finishing market is growing, surprising us with new and new solutions. According to practitioners, attention should be paid to domestic manufacturers who are beginning to offer solutions that are in no way inferior to their Western counterparts.
