New finishing materials. The most unusual and actual novelties of interior design Perspective finishing materials
Every year, designers offer us all sorts of new materials for wall decoration 2014 – 2015 that can turn a simple interior into a completely unusual and surprisingly beautiful one. From our article you will learn about some new materials for wall decoration.
Modern building materials
A large load falls on the outer walls: this is the weight of the floors and roofs, and weathering, and technogenic vibrations, and ground movements. In addition, the gradual rise in the cost of energy carriers leads to the fact that one of the main requirements for external walls is good thermal insulation, so that the house is warm and comfortable. In addition, the walls of the house must be strong, unless, of course, we are talking about a temporary building. What atmospheric phenomena affect the walls?
First of all, it is precipitation: slanting rain, streams of water from roofs and eaves, snow lying under the walls. In addition, the wall can get wet without exposure to water, only from the temperature difference on both sides. Water vapor, passing from the inside of the building to the outside, condenses inside the wall in the cold area, increasing the thermal conductivity of the entire structure. That is why, when laying external insulation, the “dew point” is necessarily taken into account - the place where water droplets form from steam, making complex system vapor barrier.
The quality of wall insulation can be affected not only by rain, but also by wind: a strong wind literally “blows out” heat from the heat-insulating layer if it is not isolated from external influences. But the wind cannot destroy or otherwise affect the integrity of the wall: there are no such hurricanes in our zone.
Modern walls are of two types: frameless and frame. Frameless walls not only protect the house from the outside world, but are also supporting structures that take on the weight of floors and roofs. The house is designed in a completely different way with frame walls: the entire load falls on the solid frame of the building, and the walls perform only a protective function.
The most common modern material for frameless walls considered foam and aerated concrete. This material has good vapor permeability (it can “breathe”, making the room comfortable for living), especially when using lime-based plaster. In addition, it is quite easy to install cellular concrete blocks, connecting them not with cement, but special glue, making the seams between the blocks very thin. The disadvantages of cellular concrete include a fairly strong shrinkage, so that the construction technology requires a lot of time for it to dry.
If the wall is built from not too warm materials, insulation is laid on the outside, the outer layer of which is glued, reinforced with fiberglass, plastered and coated with paint. As a heater, you can use expanded polystyrene or a more modern material - mineral wool. For more better thermal insulation the technology of "ventilated facades" is used: not plaster, but cladding is laid on top of the outer layer of insulation. Due to the air gap between the insulation and the facing layer, moisture does not accumulate inside, and the thermal insulation does not lose its properties.
In houses with a frame system, the outer walls can be made of any sheet materials (chipboard, waterproof plywood, boards), between the layers of which there is a heater, which is used as polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, mineral wool or a new thermal insulation material ecowool. The weight of such a wall will be very small, and the construction of a house with a frame system lasts several times less than when building frameless houses. At the same time, the cost of such a house will be an order of magnitude less, and the service life will be almost the same as that of a house with heavy walls.
Traditionally, for finishing the facades of buildings, materials such as brick, panel, plaster, siding are used. Recently in the world building materials a novelty appeared - facade wallpaper.
What is such a novelty in wall decoration as facade wallpaper?
This is a two-component system, which includes wallpaper and a special dispersion adhesive. The wallpaper itself is a particularly durable material consisting of non-woven fabric and polypropylene. The material is completely insensitive to mechanical impact, to aggressive environments, reliably fixes small facade cracks.
The test results showed that facade wallpapers cope with cracks up to 5 mm wide. The composition of the material does not contain formaldehydes, salts of heavy metals, solvents. Facade wallpapers are resistant to fire, vapor-tight. In addition, they can be painted with almost all facade paints, which gives them increased wear resistance.
The second component of the facade system is a special dispersion adhesive based on acrylic polymers. It also does not contain formaldehydes and salts of heavy metals. The adhesive is easily diluted with water to the desired amount and consistency, it can be mixed with cement. Just like wallpaper, glue has excellent fire-resistant characteristics.
Preparing the walls of a building before wallpapering is quite simple and traditional. First of all, it is necessary to free the walls from the old coating - peeling plaster is removed, wall defects are sealed with sealing mixtures. Large surface defects are leveled with putty, and small ones will subsequently be hidden with glue. For more durable gluing of wallpaper, the walls of the building are coated with a primer.
After appropriate preparation, you can start pasting the facade. The wallpaper is cut based on the height of the wall, with some margin. The glue is applied to the wall with a roller, capturing 10-15 cm from the width of the wallpaper, then carefully leveled with a spatula with horizontal movements.
Wallpaper is not coated with glue, butt-to-butt is glued. Then, using a rubber roller, smooth the glued surface. If desired, the wallpaper can be easily painted with any waterproof elastic dispersion paint, which gives the facade system extra strength and wear resistance.
Strength tests of this technology were carried out not only in Europe, but also in Russia and Ukraine. Positive test results suggest the possibility of using a new facade technology in countries with a variety of climatic features, where there is a temperature drop, frost, high humidity.
New materials for wall decoration "Blossoming" 3D photo wallpaper.
Otherwise, this "clothing for the walls" is called such a novelty as - thermal wallpaper. The thing is that the image on the wallpaper changes as the temperature in the room rises. For example, a pattern in the form of green stems with tiny buds in cold air remains ordinary, without showing itself in any way. But as soon as you bring the wallpaper into a room where the temperature is about 23 ° C, the buds will begin to increase in size, and at 35 ° C they will bloom with colorful, lush flowers. An amazing novelty in wall decoration, right?
Another novelty in wall decoration is Stone wallpaper.
This wallpaper is made of the finest stone veneer, which can be stuck literally anywhere your soul desires. Stone wallpaper is environmentally friendly and lightweight, since ordinary gypsum is used as a base. These wallpapers look very nice. With the help of stone wallpaper, a simple arched passage can be turned into a real cave and at the same time it will look quite elegant.
Material for wall decoration flexible stone.
flexible stone made from a cut of natural sandstone. Each cut is unique, so when purchasing a flexible stone, you can be sure that no one else will have a similar interior.
Flexible sheets of sandstone are attached to thin sheets made on the basis of textiles. This allows you to twist the stone into a roll and use it for finishing walls, columns, doors and arched openings.
However, you will not be able to bend such a stone without the help of professionals, since this has to be done under the influence of hot air.
Flexible stone is resistant to moisture, sunbeams and temperature fluctuations. It is suitable even for lining fireplaces.
3d panels for wall decoration
One of the most popular materials for interior decoration in 2014 was steel, wall panels are easy to use, are eco-friendly material easy to install and maintain, big choice textures and color schemes have become an indispensable novelty in the decoration of the walls of the room.
New material in glass-magnesium sheet abbreviation (SML)
Magnesium glass sheet abbreviation (SML) is a great new versatile material, replacing all the materials that have long been known to retire for a well-deserved rest: chipboard, GVL, DSP, Asbestos sheets.
Magnesium Glass Sheet (SML) is a panel consisting of wood shavings, magnesium chloride, glass fibers, with an aesthetic and durable finish, almost half as light as (GVL) in terms of strength, 2.5 times higher. Gypsum-fiber sheets, flexible, heavy-duty, hard, deserves attention and indications for combustibility, is not afraid of open fire, fire-safe, frost-resistant. Good sound insulation material, environmentally friendly.
LSU is not subject to rotting, the formation of fungi, is not afraid of moisture, it is used in damp buildings: in saunas, showers, bathrooms, swimming pools. Magnesium glass sheet (SML) over practical material for installation, much lighter, Easy to bend without soaking c R=3, stronger than its predecessors, suitable for all types of finishes: tiles, plaster, wallpapering, painting.
Application of new materials for finishing glass magnesium sheets.
Glass-magnesium sheets are used both for interior decoration of walls, ceilings, partitions of columns, slopes, boxes, and for exterior: for the frame structure of houses, for replacing prefabricated screeds, for protecting waterproofing.
The spring season of interior exhibitions and events has ended, according to which we can say with confidence that, despite all the constraints, the interior industry is growing and developing every year, and new ones appear on the market. Decoration Materials and technology. What the designers paid attention to and what they singled out among the interesting interior ideas, we will tell in this article. Designer Valeria Belousova, who actively visits all interior exhibitions and chooses interesting novelties among the 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. By the way, about the tree, modern trend development of eco-style allows you to save on decoration natural wood and create its texture using regular tiles. Another trend in decoration is bright accents. In support of this, there are many finishes in the style of pop art and patchwork. Interesting comic book stories will be elegantly combined with pastel finishes, and patchwork tile layout technology will create an interesting play of colors, patterns and textures. If we talk about novelties in finishing materials, then one cannot fail to mention kryon - a new generation of acrylic stone, reminiscent of natural to the touch, but 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 interior and exterior. Architect Natalya Guseva I am sure that the new is the well-forgotten old. Of these novelties, the architect notes ordinary plywood. Modern processing technologies make it possible to create interesting options wall, countertop, ceiling and floor finishes. This is a durable, environmentally friendly, moisture-resistant and beautiful coating that can be painted and get interesting aesthetic compositions! Designer-decorator Yulia Solovieva marks the expansion of the 3D wall panel market. If earlier 3D panels could not be used in the design of wet areas, today such panels are produced according to the principles of ceramic tiles, so they become excellent design options. kitchen aprons and bathrooms. Elena Krylova - interior designer, actively promoting eco-design in Russia, has found interesting finishing solutions that positively affect human health. For example, 3D absorbent wall panels that absorb from the air toxic substances. Salt panels have become another option for a “healthy” design of the house. In addition to an elegant interior accent, they are also an excellent air ionizer. The designer also notes cleansing wallpapers, in the structure of which natural material is introduced, which on molecular level recognizes and eliminates unpleasant odors. Interesting innovative technologies exist for facades and window decoration. For example, a line of special films is practically invisible on glass and at the same time is shockproof, protects the house from, has a cooling effect, anti-reflective property, is easy to clean and reflects light from opposite 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 innovations in the field of engineering. For example, interesting solutions have appeared on the market that are ready to replace the usual heating radiators with a “warm baseboard”. "Warm plinth" (14 cm high and 3 cm wide), and, according to Alexander Vasiliev, the head of the distributor of this product, the plinth does not dry the air, evenly distributes the temperature, does not raise dust, creating a healthy microclimate in the room, eliminating premises from such side effects like "weeping windows", fungus and mold. Those designers who have already used a warm plinth in the interiors of houses and apartments confirm its advantages. Interior designer Elena Tikhonova: “This versatile product can be used in any interior, has two connection options that 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 decorating possibilities, it can fit into any interior. The best part is that such innovative solutions are the merits of the domestic manufacturer. As we can see, the finishing market is growing, surprising us with new and new solutions. According to practitioners, attention should be paid to domestic manufacturers, which are beginning to offer solutions that are in no way inferior to Western counterparts.

Salt panels
Modern innovative construction technologies that amaze the imagination with their originality and fantasticness are used as the achievements of the latest scientific research, and the invaluable experience of ancestors.
Let's start with the most common building material - wood. It would seem that there is still something new to come up with? But even here modern innovative technologies come to the rescue.
1. Construction technology of domed houses without nails, Vladivostok, Russia
Scientists from the Far Eastern Federal University are creating modern wooden domed houses. At the same time, as in the good old days of Russian architects, without a single nail. Their uniqueness lies in the use of new designs of locks between the individual parts of a wooden spherical frame.
A domed house made of wooden parts is created in record time. Literally in a matter of hours, the frame grows unusual house. Today, they want to test this technology in several cities of Russia. Between themselves, the links are joined with the help of a special lock, which perceives all loads - vertical, lateral, and so on. Details are made with such precision that a kind of Lego constructor is obtained. Any person, having such a kit with a small assembly instruction, can mount this structure on their own.
At one of the recreation centers of Primorsky Krai, the domed express cafe "Snowball", built by scientists, is already operating, which is very popular, attracting visitors unusual shape. The second domed house is much larger - it is a two-story twelve-meter structure with an area of 195 m².
2. Multi-storey buildings made of wood, London, UK
We are all somehow used to the fact that wood is used for construction. low houses, one or two floors. But developers from the USA consider it possible to use wood for the construction of buildings up to 30 floors high.
The first of the modern residential buildings, built of wood using modern technologies of wooden housing construction (from five-layer wooden adhesive panels), has 9 floors and 30 meters in height. This house is in London, it has 29 residential apartments and offices on the ground floor.
It is amazing that the entire above-ground part of this house was built in 28 working days by just five people, armed with only one mobile crane and electric screwdrivers.
3. Construction technology of wooden houses Naturi, Austria
The technology consists of profiled small-sized tree trunks, called “balance” by experts, which are stretched on a four-sided machine. The fact that it is the thinner that is used clearly demonstrates the fact that in every element without exception there is necessarily a core of a tree.
Then from such "puzzles" you can assemble any part of the building. Drying, the individual elements are deformed and wedged "tightly ”, creating a very strong and lightweight construction.The purpose of the invention of such a technology is the use of low-quality raw materials, which in Russia, for example, are used only for pulp or in general simply as waste.
4. Nantong, Jiangsu Province, China
Chinese architects have invented a way to build cheap houses. Their secret is in a huge 3D printer that literally prints real estate. And there would be nothing unusual in this - the technologies for "printing" buildings are already known. But the point is that Chinese houses will be made ... from construction debris.
Thus, experts architectural company Winsun intends to solve two problems at once. In addition to creating affordable homes, the project will give a second life to construction debris and waste industrial production This is what houses are made of.
The giant printer has really impressive dimensions - 150 x 10 x 6 meters. The device is quite powerful and can print up to 10 houses per day. The cost of each of them is no more than 5 thousand dollars.
Huge machine erects outdoor structure, and the internal partitions are mounted manually later. With the help of 3D printing technology in China, they hope to solve the pressing problem of affordable housing. In the near future, several hundred factories will appear in the country, where construction waste will be used to produce expendable materials for the giant printer.
5. A house is printed from bioplastic, Amsterdam, Holland
Dus Architects has developed a project to print a residential building on a bioplastic 3D printer. Construction is carried out using an industrial 3D printer KarmaMaker, which "prints" plastic walls. The design of the building is very unusual - walls are attached to the three-meter end of the house as in the Lego constructor. If redevelopment of the building is required, then it can be easily changed by replacing one part with another.
For construction, a bioplastic developed by Henkel is used - a mixture vegetable oil and microfiber, and the foundation of the house will be made of lightweight concrete. When completed, the building will consist of thirteen separate rooms. This technology can change the entire construction industry. Old residential buildings and offices can simply be melted down and made into something new.
The idea of a similar material was found in ordinary shells. The fact is that the shells are enriched with the necessary complex of minerals that give them elasticity. It is these minerals that are added to the composition of concrete. new type concrete is incredibly elastic, more resistant to cracks, and even 40-50 percent lighter. Such concrete will not break even with very strong bends. Even earthquakes are not afraid of him. An extensive network of cracks after such tests will not affect its strength. After the load is removed, the concrete will begin the recovery process.
How does this happen? The secret is very simple. Normal rainwater reacts with concrete and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to form calcium carbonate in concrete. This substance also fastens the cracks that have appeared, “heals” the concrete. After removing the load, the restored section of the slab will have the same strength as before. Such concrete is going to be used in the construction of critical structures, such as bridges.
7. Concrete from carbon dioxide, Canada
The Canadian company CarbonCure Technologies has developed an innovative technology for the production of concrete by binding carbon dioxide. This technology will reduce harmful emissions and could revolutionize the construction industry.
Concrete blocks are produced using carbon dioxide emitted by large industries such as oil refineries and fertilizer plants.
The new technology achieves a triple effect: concrete will be cheaper, stronger and more environmentally friendly. One hundred thousand of these concrete blocks can absorb as much carbon dioxide as one hundred mature trees absorb in a year.
Straw houses using modern technologies are being built all over the world. Reliable, warm, comfortable, they perfectly passed the test of our climate. However, so far modern technology building from pressed straw (in the West it is called strawbale-house) is known to a few in our country. It is based on best properties this unique natural material. When pressed, it becomes an excellent building material. Pressed straw is considered the best insulation. Straw stems of plants are tubular, hollow. They and between them contain air, which, as you know, has a low thermal conductivity. Due to its porosity, straw has good soundproofing properties.
It seems that the phrase "fire-resistant straw house" sounds paradoxical. But a plastered straw wall is not afraid of fire. Blocks covered with plaster withstand 2 hours exposure to an open flame. The straw block, open only on one side, does not support combustion. Bale density of 200–300 kg/cu. m also prevents combustion.
Straw houses are built in America, Europe, China. In the US, there is even a project for the construction of a straw skyscraper with 40 floors. The very same high buildings from straw today are five-story buildings that are combined with a reinforced concrete and metal frame.
Indeed, everything new is a well-forgotten old. Earthbite houses are gaining popularity again. This material is still used today for construction. supporting structures and walls.
At the heart of the zembite is ordinary earthen soil. Zembitbit has been tested by time, it was built from it in ancient Rome. The earthen soil mass has high moisture resistance and practically does not shrink. And the thermal characteristics of the earth bit can be enhanced by adding, for example, straw cuttings. After a few years, earth bit becomes almost as strong as concrete.
The most famous building built of zembit can be considered the Priory Palace located in Gatchina.
10. Chameleon brick, Russia
Since 2003, the Kopeysky brick factory has been producing bricks, nicknamed "velours" for the ability to literally absorb light with its surface, as a result of which it becomes saturated, resembling velvet.
The effect is achieved with the help of vertical grooves applied to the surface of the brick with metal brushes. At the same time, it becomes possible to deepen the main color when the angle of incidence of light changes, which likens a brick to a chameleon - at different times of the day it is able to change color depending on the lighting.
The texture of velor brick works great in tandem with smooth brick in ornamental or figured masonry.
eleven. "Flying houses, Japan
Japan never ceases to amaze with its developments. The idea is simple - so that the house does not collapse as a result of an earthquake, it simply ... should not be on the ground. So they came up with flying houses, and all this is quite real.
Undoubtedly, the word "flying" is a beautiful allegory, suggesting childhood dreams of flying in a balloon house. But Japanese construction company Air Danshin Systems Inc has developed a system that allows buildings to rise above the ground and "float" above it during an earthquake.
The house is located on air cushion and after the sensors are triggered, it will simply hover above the ground, and during such a change, the residents of the building will not feel anything. The foundation is not attached to the structure itself. After soaring, the house sits on a frame located on top of the foundation. During an earthquake, seismic sensors are activated, which are located around the perimeter of the building. After that, they will immediately start the pressure compressor located at the base of the house. It will ensure the "levitation" of the building at a height of 3-4 cm from the ground. Thus, the house will not be in contact with the ground and will avoid the consequences of tremors. The novelty has already been installed in almost 90 houses in Japan.
"Flying houses" have been developed by many Japanese firms, in the near future know-how will appear in other regions of Asia, which often suffer from earthquakes.
12. Container house, France
Used containers have long been used for the construction of budget housing in different cities and countries. Here is one example.
During the construction of the house, eight old sea containers, which created an unusual architectural form of the building. In addition to containers, wood, polycarbonate and glass were also used. The total area of the house is 208 square meters.
The cost of building such “container-type” economy houses is usually half that of building a similar house from ordinary building materials. In addition, it is built twice as fast.
13. Exhibition complex from sea containers, Seoul, South Korea
If you have not surprised anyone with residential buildings made of containers for a long time, then a completely unusual building has appeared in the center of the business and shopping district of Seoul. It was built from 28 old shipping containers.
The area is 415 sq. The complex will host exhibitions, nightly film screenings, concerts, master classes, lectures and other public events.
14. Student dormitories from containers, Holland
Each separate container room has all the amenities. In addition, the roof is equipped with an efficient drainage system, which collects rainwater, which subsequently goes to domestic needs.
in Finland and elsewhere northern countries with might and main build hotels of ice. At the same time, a room in an ice hotel is more expensive than in a hotel made of other, more traditional building materials. The first ice hotel opened in Sweden over 60 years ago.
16. Mobile eco-home, Portugal
A variety of technologies are used in the construction of such mobile structures. The peculiarity of this house is its complete energy independence. Solar panels are fixed on the surface of the object to produce energy that fully provides the unique house with the necessary amount. By the way, the house is not only environmentally friendly, but also completely mobile.
The eco-house is divided into two sections - in one sleeping space, and in the other - a toilet. The outside of the house is covered with environmentally friendly cork.
17. Energy efficient capsule room, Switzerland
The project was developed by architects from the NAU company (Switzerland), who sought to make the most comfortable and compact housing. Called the Living Roof, the capsule room can be placed on almost any surface.
The capsule room is equipped with solar panels, wind turbines and a rainwater collection, storage and recycling system.
18. Vertical forest in the city, Milan, Italy
The innovative project of Bosco Verticale is the construction in Milan of two multi-storey buildings with live plants on the facade. The height of the two high-rise buildings is 80 and 112 meters. In total, 480 trees of large and medium sizes, 250 trees of small height, 5000 various shrubs and 11,000 grass cover plants. This number of plants corresponds to an area of 10,000 m? ordinary forest.
Thanks to almost two years research work botanists successfully selected tree species that are most adapted to such difficult living conditions at altitude. Various plants specially grown and acclimatized for this construction. Each apartment in the house has its own balcony with trees and shrubs.
19. Cactus House, Holland
A luxury 19-storey residential building is under construction in Rotterdam. It received such an original name due to its resemblance to this thorny plant. It has 98 apartments with superior comfort. Construction is carried out according to the project of the architectural company UCX Architects.
The peculiarity of this house is the use of open terraces-balconies under hanging gardens, located one above the other in a stepped order, screwing up in a spiral. This arrangement of terraces allows the sun to illuminate the plants from all sides. The depth of each terrace is at least two meters. Not only that, small pools will also be built into these balconies.
We are used to the fact that we are usually talking about energy-efficient houses. And in preparation for the Expo-2020 exhibition in the United Arab Emirates, an entire energy-efficient city will be built. It will be a "smart city", fully self-sufficient in energy and other resources. The project is planned to be implemented near the settlement of Al Avir in Dubai.
It will be the first of its kind to be completely self-sufficient in terms of providing residents with all the necessary resources, transport and energy. To do this, the energy-efficient city will be equipped to the maximum with solar panels, which will be placed on the roofs of almost all residential and commercial buildings. In addition, the city will independently process 40,000 cubic meters Wastewater. The area of this supercomplex will be 14,000 hectares, and the residential area itself will be built in the shape of a desert flower. Surrounded by a belt of green spaces, the "smart city" will be able to accommodate 160,000 residents.

And this is understandable, for the vast majority it is not enough to build a box of a building, you still need to be able to present the goods with your face or make a very accurate 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 finishing work indoors. This also includes floor and ceiling coverings, materials for finishing walls for auxiliary premises;
- Facing and protective coatings used in the decoration of the facade of the building;
- Coverings for bedrooms and children's rooms;
- Universal materials based on ceramics, composites and plastics.
Note! Most of the new materials and coatings represent further technological developments traditional ways finishes.
Most manufacturers stick to this way of developing new materials for two reasons. Firstly, it is easier and faster to overcome the psychological barrier of a person in 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 goes 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 finishes. 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 grown by an order of magnitude;
- Improving the safety and environmental friendliness of coatings, especially for children, people suffering from allergies and intolerances of certain groups chemical compounds. Demand for new, safer finishes is growing at a much faster rate than for fancy-looking finishes.
The main part of new finishing materials appeared due to the widespread use gypsum mixtures, acrylic and polyurethane resins, the manufacture of updated types of ceramics and compounds. The technologies producing materials for exterior finish at home.
New technologies and materials for facade finishing.
A truly innovative approach to façade and exterior wall cladding has been the emergence of new building mixtures to obtain 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 a variety of 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 imitation natural stone or the formation of a certain surface relief. Such a coating practically does not fade in the sun, is not afraid of rain and frost, and, subject to the application technology, can stay on the walls for more than a dozen years.
The disadvantages of plastering 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 wall texture formation.
Important! A real discovery in the field of facade wall decoration was the emergence of new water-soluble acrylic, water-based and water-dispersed paints, which have a huge number of new shades and colors.
With their appearance, the outer walls and facade of the house can be painted in the most sophisticated colors and colors. The vast majority of new paints and varnishes for exterior finish houses allowed with minimal effort to give the old and gray concrete buildings a fresh updated look.
Exterior wall decoration with hanging decor
With the introduction frame technologies finishing, it became possible to radically change the appearance of buildings, giving the walls a completely new look. For example, the use of thermal panels with glued ceramic granite tiles or natural stone imitation for finishing makes it possible to give an old cinder block building the appearance of an old natural stone masonry, facing brick, or even very accurately simulate wooden walls from a bar or rounded logs.
Similar results in finishing can be obtained by cladding the facades of the building with more durable panels of plastic and metal-plastic siding, a wooden block house, and even a new modified lining. Unlike thermal panels, new plastic and wooden cladding panels are easier and cheaper to install, which is why they are most often used in combination with new thermal insulation coatings.
In addition to hanging decor, new ceramic tiles are increasingly being used to decorate walls. facing materials- bricks and tiles made of porcelain stoneware and hyper-pressed mixtures. A new type of finish is cheaper than traditional facing bricks, and in terms of durability and appearance it is not inferior to it.
Most of the new technologies, in fact, are 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 have 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 flooring and the arrangement of self-leveling floors. In fact, most of the new products are adapted for internal works already known materials for exterior decoration.
A real discovery in the issue of interior decoration was the emergence of hand-painted and new environmentally friendly natural materials.
Relief and graphics
Drawing graphic images on 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 make an ideal background or basis for drawing a picture.
Hand painting instantly turned into an exclusive type of decoration, along with photo wallpapers and 3D decor.
Graphic images have become fashionable, especially in thematically oriented design of rooms using natural materials, specially made interior and design items.
New 3D photo wallpapers and tiles with applied photo images 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 spaces, for example, a bathroom and a bedroom, at times.
natural materials
Traditionally, natural finishes have been limited to hardwood flooring and standard paper wallpapers using modified cellulose adhesives. Modern interpretation Ecologically clean rooms are 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's no secret that even new plaster plaster mixes contain surfactants, polymeric plasticizers and dyes, therefore, composite plaster materials based on finely ground silicon and lime are increasingly used to finish the most important rooms in the house. An absolute novelty is the use of natural types of plaster, for example, Moroccan tadelakt - a waterproof coating without dyes and synthetic binders.
Most expensive view finishing is considered to be the use of natural leather and fabrics made of cotton, linen and jute.
New panel materials for walls and ceilings
Appearance frame finish interior spaces allowed to solve the issue of repairing old rooms with curved walls at a completely new level. Instead of throwing tens of kilograms of cement-sand mass, relatively simple technology laying flat, like glass, gypsum boards on a pre-mounted frame made of steel profile. With the help of the new technology, it turned out to be possible to level and clad the walls even with the extreme curvature of the surface.
Along with drywall for finishing work, MDF boards made from pressed cellulose fibers began to be used. The outer surface of such material is covered with a laminated layer that imitates wood, stone, tiles. The new, lightweight and flexible material can be used for ceilings and walls, with imitation of expensive wood or natural stone cladding.
Relatively new technology ceiling finishing is the use of heat-shrink PVC membranes. To decorate the ceiling surface, it is enough to stretch a thin polymer sheet on a pre-mounted frame and heat the surface with a heat gun. As a result of shrinkage, the membrane is leveled to the state of a mirror, hiding defects and problem areas of the ceiling.
New floor materials
Among the new materials used for flooring, we can mention the appearance of self-leveling floors, the use of heavy-duty multilayer linoleum and the creation of parquet flooring from tongue and groove boards.
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 a laminate or parquet board. It is almost impossible to achieve such a surface quality by grinding or pouring concrete screed.
Commercial brands of linoleum of 33 and 34 classes can rightfully be considered a new finishing material. Unlike home grades 21 and 23, new material has an additional coating of polyurethane, providing 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 flooring is considered to be a coating that is assembled from parquet board like laminate. Ease of assembly and installation is combined with high strength and durability of the material.
Conclusion
New materials for finishing the premises and the facade of the house not only simplify the work, but in some cases make it affordable for you to do it yourself, which means that the cost of finishing operations is reduced by 20-30%. In addition to attractive appearance, decorative coatings become safer and at the same time more durable.
