Advantages of cement paint in construction

The advantages of cement paint in construction are many, as cement paint is a good choice for people looking for a strong and durable paint that can withstand harsh weather conditions and dirt.

What is cement paint made of?

ًWe use cementitious paint in a variety of exterior applications in construction, such as finishing walls and ceilings and protecting and decorating facades and concrete surfaces. Cement paint consists of a group of elements, the most important of which are:

• Cement: It is the main component of cement paint, and provides adhesion and hardness.
• Sand: We use it to improve the consistency of the paint and make it more homogeneous.
• Water: It is the liquid component of the paint, and it helps mix the other ingredients and distribute them evenly.
• Coloring materials: used to add color to paint.
• Fillers: We use them to improve the texture of the paint and make it more durable.
• Chemicals: We use them to improve the properties of paint, such as its resistance to weather factors and dirt.

Advantages of cement paint in external construction

Cementitious paint offers many advantages to exterior construction, including walls, ceilings, and concrete surfaces. We can summarize these advantages as follows:

1. High durability: Cement paint has high resistance to weather factors, such as humidity, heat, and rain.
2. High hardness: Cementitious paint has high hardness, making it resistant to scratching, abrasion and abrasion.
3. Ease of cleaning: We can easily clean cement paint using soap and water.
4. Resistant to dirt: Cement paint has high resistance to dirt.
5. Diversity: Cement paint is available in a variety of colors, allowing you to choose the color that suits all tastes and needs. Cementitious paint is also available in a glossy or matte finish, allowing you to choose the desired look.
6. Aesthetic appearance: In addition to being available in a variety of colors, we characterize cement paint by its color stability over time, which maintains the aesthetics of the exterior building for a long time.
7. Ease of application: Cement paint is easy to apply and spread using a regular oyster. When applying it, it is recommended to spread two layers of paint to obtain the best results.

Here are the correct application steps:

• Choose the appropriate weather condition for painting, as extreme heat or high humidity may affect the quality of the paint.
• Clean the cement surface well to get rid of any dust, dirt, grease, or old peeling paint.
• Prepare the cement surface by removing cracks and scratches and leveling the surfaces with an external filler.
• Apply a layer of putty to the surface to fill any cracks or defects.
• Apply a layer of appropriate primer to improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface and leave it to dry well.
• Apply a first layer of cement paint using a brush, roller, or spray gun and leave it to dry well.
• Apply a second layer of cement paint and leave it to dry well.
• Apply a third layer of cement paint if necessary.

Advantages of cement paint in interior construction

All the advantages mentioned for using cement paint in exterior construction apply to its use in interior construction, with the addition of some special advantages, including:

• Providing durability for walls and interior surfaces that are exposed daily to moisture and heat through cooking, bathing, or using household appliances.
• Ensuring solidity for interior walls and surfaces by resisting scratches and corrosion in interior spaces where there is a lot of movement, such as corridors and family rooms.
• Easy to clean using soap and water, especially in indoor places that are exposed to dirt, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
• Resisting the accumulation of dirt in walls and interior surfaces that contain a lot of dirt, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Correct application steps for cement paint in interior construction

• Choose the appropriate type of cement paint for the place to be painted. There are types designated for interior and exterior surfaces, and types that tolerate moisture, heat, and corrosion more than others.
• Prepare the cement surface well before painting, by removing dust, fats, cracks, leveling and drying.
• Follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for mixing, applying and drying it, and use the appropriate tools for that.
• Ventilate the place well during and after painting, to avoid the accumulation of harmful odors and gases.
