Painting a heating radiator so that it looks like new. Tips & Tricks

It is very difficult to find a person who has never held a brush in his hands. Therefore, many do not think about how to paint the battery, believing that there is nothing special in this process. In fact, without some attention, the radiator will become the same as before the repair: rusty, with peeling and swollen paint. That is why many are forced to update almost every year appearance heating elements, instead of learning how to paint the battery correctly. But then you can return to this task no more than once every five years or even a decade.

What batteries can and should be painted

Traditionally, any painted radiators, especially cast iron ones, need to be updated, as the paint on them begins to chip off over time, and in open places rust appears. It not only stains curtains, but also destroys equipment.

Aluminum or factory enameled steel batteries of a new design are usually not painted, especially on the basis that you do not like the color or want to change it. Otherwise, their appearance will be spoiled, and the heat transfer from them will significantly decrease. Therefore, it is better to mask them with a suitable decorative screen.

Overview of paints for radiators

The most common options are enamel paints . They can be acrylic or alkyd. The first are created on organic solvents. They allow you to create a beautiful, glossy finish. The second ones are very durable, easy to clean, practically do not erase. Alkyd enamels also have a huge advantage - wide colors. Their disadvantage is that they include white spirit, which has a pungent odor.

Traditional paints and varnishes containing harmful substances, are gradually moving away. Although they are quite effective - they give a lasting color, are applied evenly and are stable. In addition, the cost of such materials is affordable.

However, they can be replaced with more eco-friendly materials- the same water-soluble paints . They are absolutely safe, dry quickly, apply evenly and do not emit carcinogens. However, when buying, you should be careful - not all such products are suitable for use, since water causes metal corrosion. It is better to choose acrylic-based paints from it, while taking into account that radiators will still require careful surface preparation. The disadvantage of these materials is also that they are not resistant to abrasion and can stain the curtains.

Alternatively, you can use enamel in spray cans for radiators. Although it is not entirely safe, but with its help you can get the job done in a matter of minutes. True, it will only allow you to refresh the surface, without penetrating into hard-to-reach places.

Choosing which paint to paint the batteries is not difficult. Just when buying, you need to make sure that it is designed specifically for radiators. This must be indicated on the packages.

Necessary tools and materials:

• brushes small size with soft bristles or foam roller;
• for hard-to-reach places you need to take brushes with a curved handle;
• drill with a nozzle in the form of an iron brush;
• sandpaper;
• film;
• putty knife;
• paint, primer, thinner.

Quick surface preparation

When choosing which paint to paint the batteries with, it should be borne in mind that their preparation will differ in each case. Also, a lot depends on what result you want to get in the end: refresh the surface or give the radiator the look of a new factory product.

First you need to clean all surfaces from dust, dirt, cobwebs. If time is short and you want to complete the procedure faster, then it is enough to clean off the lagging paint with a spatula, sand the bumps and remove rust sandpaper. Further, all the formed recesses should be treated with a primer that protects the metal from corrosion, and puttied. All these steps are made for painting with enamel.

To prepare the surface for acrylic paint, you need to completely cover the radiator with an adhesive primer, and let it dry. Otherwise, the metal will quickly begin to rust.

Careful surface preparation

In this case, the remaining paint is removed completely. It is done like this:

• the radiator is heated with a gas burner;
• then large pieces of paint are chipped off with a spatula;
• the surface is carefully cleaned with sandpaper, or better: a drill with an iron brush nozzle.

After these procedures, the radiator is wiped with a damp cloth in order to degrease and get rid of dust. If you properly paint it after such a procedure, it will definitely look like new.

By the way, in order for it to work as if it had just been brought from the factory, an additional procedure should be performed. Namely: it is necessary to remove it, drain the water, heat it up strongly, let it cool, then disassemble and clean it from accumulated debris and rust inside. Then, carefully assemble it back, using rubber cut from ordinary tires as spacers.

Painting

Now consider, in fact, how to paint the battery. First of all, it is necessary to dilute the paint to a state of 1% kefir. That is, very liquid, but not watery, but so that it stretches with a brush no less than 30-40 cm at a time. Next, you need to carefully apply the first layer, starting with inside batteries.

After that, you need to wait a day or in some cases 7-8 hours, depending on the quality of the product. Then you need to paint the radiator again in the same way. By the way, the second layer of acrylic paint (if you use it) can be applied immediately, without waiting for drying.

Is it possible to paint hot batteries

Many professionals do not recommend painting radiators in the heat of the moment. heating season. However, using high temperature resistant alkyd enamel or spray guns, it is quite possible to paint hot batteries. Only you need to do this carefully, carefully and quickly, so as not to get burned and so that the paint lies evenly. The latter is quite difficult to do, since on a hot surface from 50 ° C it dries almost instantly.

If you doubt that you can quickly and accurately perform the procedure, it is better to wait until the end of the heating season. Or, if time is running out, do not immediately paint hot batteries, but first screw in the supply of heated water to them. Moreover, if this cannot be done on your own, you can contact the Housing Office.

In order not to get dirty during work flooring, skirting boards and wallpaper on the walls, it is necessary to carefully isolate the areas with a film, which is desirable to attach pointwise with stationery tape so that it does not move. Newspapers are worse in this regard - they tear in the process when paint gets on them.

If there is a need to paint over the battery more carefully, then it is better to remove it, since otherwise it will not work. If it is not possible to do this, then you need to start painting from the inside, where access is difficult, so the likelihood of getting dirty is reduced.

If you have never used paint, please note that at first you will do it very slowly, it will be uncomfortable for you, everything will interfere. That is the nature of this case. Therefore, beginners should not paint hot batteries, since with a 90% probability the result will not be very good: stains, streaks may remain, the enamel will lie unevenly.

Today, the dear reader and I will have to figure out how to paint a cast-iron battery. We will learn which paints can be used for painting, how to prepare the surface of the radiator, and how to apply paint to the prepared surface. Let's get started.

Before starting work, let's find out: is the result worth the effort?

Painting is contraindicated

The coloring of cast iron batteries is meaningless in three cases:

1. If the radiator (new or standing on heating for several years) will be covered with a decorative screen or installed in a closed box. Painting serves purely decorative purposes, since cast iron is a corrosion-resistant metal, and an extra layer of coating will only reduce heat transfer;

It is worth clarifying: the author is categorically against non-removable screens that cover most of the surface of the batteries, and even more so against installing heaters in blind boxes. In addition to a sharp drop in heat transfer, the owner also gets serious problems with the availability of connections when eliminating leaks between sections and on the connections to the heater.

1. If the radiator flows between sections. The layer of paint will not stop the leak, and rusty streaks will be even more noticeable on the new coating. Before application decorative coating the leak should be eliminated by changing the intersection gaskets or tightening the nipples;

1. If part of the radiator sections does not heat up for several years. The reason for this is usually the silting of the extreme sections, and in 10-15 years without washing, the silt acquires the strength of a stone and is removed from the radiator only during annealing, which we will talk about a little later.

Painting desirable

In what cases can painting batteries - cast iron or steel - radically change their appearance?

• If part of the coating has peeled off or has traces of abrasion;

• If the paint has turned yellow from prolonged heating;

Reference: color change is typical for paints with zinc white ZnO. Since 2007, their production has been discontinued: zinc oxide has been replaced by more stable and less toxic titanium white TiO2.

• If repeated painting of cast-iron radiators over the old coating gave untidy sagging.

Paint selection

Now let's find out how to paint cast iron batteries.

The main condition is the heat resistance of the coating: in a central heating system, the temperature of the coolant at the peak of cold weather can reach 95 degrees. The compliance of the dye with this requirement is indicated by the inscription “heat-resistant” or “for radiators” on the package.

Look for the word "heat resistant" on the packaging

It is worth clarifying: cast-iron radiators are used not only for water, but also for steam heating. In steam heating systems, the temperature of superheated steam can reach 150-400 degrees Celsius. However, in our time, such systems have been preserved only in industrial conditions, at enterprises of old construction.

Here are some examples of appropriate colors:

Appearance of packaging and name	Description

Radiator preparation

How to paint batteries - cast iron or steel?

For some manufacturers, the instructions for using paints (for example, the last two in our mini-review) directly indicate that they should be applied directly to the metal. And even if this requirement is absent, the old coating must be cleaned.

There are three reasons for this:

1. The thicker the coating, the lower the heat transfer of the radiator;
2. Paints are compatible with each other only within the same family: for example, alkyd enamel does not adhere well to a base painted with oil paint. Meanwhile, you do not always know the type of paint applied to the battery during the last repair;

1. Old coatings are often decorated with untidy streaks, which are better to get rid of.

How to clean old paint with your own hands? Here are some ways of varying difficulty.

• The front (visible) surface of the radiator can be cleaned to metal with a metal brush (manual or made in the form of a nozzle for a power tool);

• Layering old paint it is easy to remove with a spatula, having previously treated the battery with a universal wash and wrapping it in plastic wrap for a dozen or two minutes;

• Instead of rinsing, the paint can be softened by heating each section with a hair dryer or blowtorch;

This method has a serious drawback: heating will lead to burnout of intersection gaskets and winding of threads on the radiator connection. Use a blowtorch or a hair dryer is only worth it if you are going to sort out the radiator.

• Finally, the most radical solution is to anneal the battery in a fire. Several dismantled heating appliances are lined with firewood and ignited for an hour.

At the same time, the paint completely burns out on the surface, and the petrified deposits of silt inside the vertical channels and collectors turn into scale, which is easy to knock out of the radiator with a rubber or wooden mallet.

Captain Evidence suggests: in this case, after annealing, the cooled radiator is sorted out with the replacement of gaskets. Annealed nipples unscrew with minimal effort.

If grease or oil stains remain on the surface of a cast-iron battery cleaned from paint, they can be removed with any solvent (gasoline, acetone, solvent, etc.). Manufacturers of alkyd enamels usually recommend applying them over the ground; in this case, cast iron is primed with one or two layers of glyptal anti-corrosion primer GF-021.

Painting

Unless otherwise specified by the paint manufacturer, the heater must be painted cold: otherwise the coating will dry too quickly and give untidy streaks. Tool - a narrow brush or spray gun; in the latter case, the battery must be removed or at least reliably protected from staining the floor and walls by covering them with polyethylene. The paint is applied in at least two thin even layers with intermediate drying.

The video in this article will show you more clearly how to paint cast iron batteries.

Attention: if streaks remain on the battery when applying the next layer, sand them after drying, and then apply another layer. Sagging is usually produced by excessively thick (not diluted before use) or applied with a thick layer of paint. Its normal viscosity should correspond to the viscosity of liquid cream.

Conclusion

We hope that our material will help you return a second youth to old heaters. Good luck!

Heating radiators are a familiar detail of the interior of an apartment and a house. Even after quality and expensive repairs, housing will not look well-groomed and comfortable if the batteries are peeling off or rusty.

Heating not only improves their appearance, it prevents direct contact of the metal with atmospheric oxygen and moisture, and therefore significantly increases the service life.

A well-painted radiator will add aesthetics to any home.

Replacing heating radiators is an expensive and time-consuming process, so not every family can afford it. The real lifesaver will be the painting of radiators. This work can be done by anyone, since it does not require special skills to perform it. Consider how to properly paint the radiator, the necessary tools and materials, the features of the selection of paints for batteries and the phased work.

• a brush with metal bristles;
• paint brushes: regular and special radiator ( distinguishing feature the last is a long curved handle, which will allow you to paint even hard-to-reach places);
• coarse sandpaper;
• dust brush;
• spatula or knife.

In the process of staining and preparing for it, you will need the following materials:

• primer for metal;
• coloring composition;
• solvent.

The choice of coloring composition

Painting pipelines and heating radiators is a responsible job that poses the question to the contractor: how to paint these parts? For painting, you can use only compounds that protect the metal from rust and are resistant to high temperatures. Batteries of central heating are heated to a temperature of 60-80 degrees Celsius. Paint for a heating radiator should not change its original color when heated, peel off from the surface, break down and release toxic substances into the air.

It is necessary to select paint based on the material of the radiator

Advice! After painting in the room for a long time remains bad smell. Odorless paint for batteries makes it possible to carry out work even in a residential area.

• acrylic;
• alkyd enamel;
• water-dispersed;
• paint for silicone-based radiators;
• based on heat-resistant varnish.

Acrylic radiators are designed for temperatures up to 80 degrees. When dried, it forms a glossy surface, the color of which remains for a long time. This paint for heating pipes is odorless, so it is suitable for work in residential areas. The basis of this composition is white enamel, to which the required amount of pigments is added.

Radiators contains organic solvents. The strength of the enamel coating is higher than that of acrylic formulations. It evenly covers the surface and is resistant to temperature effects. The disadvantage of alkyd compounds is a peculiar unpleasant odor that can remain indoors for a long time even after drying.

Advice! If you chose alkyd compounds for painting heating radiators, stop choosing dark shades. Light pigments (especially white), which are part of these enamels, lose their brightness over time and turn yellow.

The question often arises, is it possible to paint radiators with a water-based composition? It is possible and necessary! This odorless product is suitable for heating communications and residential batteries.

The painting of pipes and cast-iron heating radiators with two-component enamels, consisting of heat-resistant varnish and metallized particles, has gained popularity. Such compositions give the batteries shades of gold, silver, bronze, with their help you can stylize radiators "antique". The advantages of these tools include low cost and durability of the coating.

Zinc paint for metal is also suitable for painting metal batteries. It will not only update the appearance, but also, due to its anti-corrosion properties, will extend the life of the radiator.

On the market there is a huge number of multi-colored paints for any type of material.

The choice of color depends on the preferences of the tenants. Painting batteries in White color has long ceased to be relevant. Thanks to the range of paints, it became possible to paint radiators in the same color as the interior or, conversely, in bright colors. For example, in children's rooms radiators will organically look, all colors of the rainbow, decorated with butterflies, flowers, etc.

Coloring compositions for heating radiators can be produced in the form of aerosol cans. They are easy to use, allow you to evenly paint even hard-to-reach areas of the batteries and significantly reduce the time to complete the job.

Preparing for painting

From quality preparatory work the result of staining directly depends: how evenly the coating will lie on the surface, and how long it will last.

Preparation for painting begins with dismantling. If you plan to paint new radiators, this is best done before they are installed. It is better to remove old batteries, as this will allow better preparation and painting of the surface.

If during the heating season it became necessary to paint the heating battery, it can not be dismantled, but simply shut off the supply hot water. Questions often arise: is it possible to paint hot batteries, and what kind of paint is better to do it? If a special valve that shuts off the supply of battery coolant is not installed, painting should be postponed until the end of the heating season. Firstly, the coating does not adhere well to a hot surface, it dries instantly, leaving brush marks. Secondly, most coloring compositions have an unpleasant odor, which is greatly enhanced when applied to a hot surface.

Standard painter's tools

After dismantling, you need to clean the radiator from the old coating. You can remove old paint with a brush with metal bristles or special chemicals. The washing solution is applied to the battery with napkins and left for the time specified in the instructions. old enamel softens, after which it is removed with a spatula. The cleaned surface is sanded with coarse sandpaper.

After grinding with a special brush, technological dust is removed from the battery, the surface is degreased with white spirit or acetone and primed. To protect the battery from corrosion before priming, it is treated with an anti-corrosion compound or primers with the same effect are used.

If you plan to paint new batteries, then all of these steps should be followed. Not always different coloring compositions are compatible with each other. Often under a new coat, the previous coating peels off the surface and swells.

Painting

Painting radiators is carried out with brushes or a paint roller. When staining, you should follow these rules:

1. If the battery was not dismantled, the nearby section of the wall is covered with plastic wrap.
2. You should start work from hard-to-reach areas, and only at the end paint the front of the battery.
3. For better and even coloring, paint for radiators is applied in 2 thin layers. The second layer is applied only after the final drying of the first.
4. Staining is carried out from top to bottom so that there are no leaks on freshly painted areas.

Heating batteries are an integral part of the interior of residential premises. When repairing an apartment or a private house, the question arises - how to paint the battery, arrange it in such a way that it fits into the interior of the room without losing its performance.

When you consider how much it costs to replace all heating radiators, then for families with a small income, painting will be the most acceptable option.

A simple, neat painting of cast iron radiators, as seen in the photo, can give a room a cozy and well-groomed feel. It is worth applying your skill and imagination, and old battery will be fine decorative ornament apartments.

Preparing cast iron batteries for painting

It is necessary to carefully prepare the battery for work, since when painting an untreated surface, it will quickly lose its appearance, all uneven places will protrude from under the freshly painted layer, and cracks will appear.

First you need to think over the volume and sequence of work, determine the degree of contamination, decide whether it is worth removing the paint laid earlier, and how much it will take Supplies. Then stock up necessary tools and materials.

The first stage of work - the batteries must be freed from the old coating.

There are two methods for removing paint:

• metal brush;
• chemical solvents.

A metal brush is put on the drill and effectively removes the old coating. Special washing solutions also work well, which destroy only the paint layer, without affecting the metal surface. But it is worth remembering that such solvents require safety precautions. When working with them, it is better to ventilate the room and wear a respirator.

The flushing solution is applied with a brush to the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe radiator, then the battery is covered with a film. After a while, after about an hour, the paint can be removed with a spatula.

After removing it, you need to clean the surface, to ensure that it is even. This stage is quite laborious, but the efforts will not be in vain - than smoother surface batteries, the better it fits into the interior of the room. At the end of the preparatory work, it is necessary to degrease the radiator area with white spirit or soda and apply an anti-corrosion primer.

Even if the radiators are new and they need to be painted a different color, preliminary preparation must also be carried out: removing dirt and dust, sanding and solvent treatment.

Paint selection

There are the same requirements for all types of paint for radiators. It should serve as protection against metal corrosion, be heat-resistant to high temperatures, withstand 70-80 degrees Celsius, not exfoliate and not change the original color from heating, and also be environmentally friendly.

If it is not possible to turn off the heating of the heating, especially in winter, then you need to choose the right paint that is intended for application to a surface with a high temperature. Otherwise, if it dries quickly, it may lie unevenly and lose its color.

• Acrylic enamels have a beautiful gloss, they have color fastness, but at the same time they have a pungent smell.
• Alkyd paint is durable, it lies evenly on the entire area of ​​the surface to be painted, but it also has a peculiar smell that can remain even after drying.
• Water-dispersion emulsions dry quickly, but they must be carefully selected for the metal.

Color selection

White color is traditional in the choice of paint for radiators, but sometimes you can deviate from tradition and make the heater beautiful and original. If you paint the batteries to match the color of the walls or to the appropriate range of shades in the interior, then they are visually invisible.

Some craftsmen, on the contrary, transform the radiator into a beautiful piece of room decoration - they apply small drawings to the surface with a stencil: leaves, flowers, make herringbone patterns. The main thing at the same time is not to overdo it and correctly maintain the style of the room.

Painting old cast-iron radiators in bronze or silver color, if carefully sanded, will be a worthy addition to the antique interior.

When painting a battery in a children's room, it is better to abandon standard design solutions. It would be appropriate to paint the radiator in cheerful colors, the color of the rainbow, or, for example, decorate it as a panel element, painting it in the form of a palisade, with butterflies, flowers or dragonflies painted above it on the wall. You can use all your imagination and make the nursery bright and cheerful for your baby.

You can decorate your home with an exquisite addition to the design of the premises, correctly applying the tips for painting and designing radiators. In order not to stain the wall during work, cover it with plastic wrap.

How to paint a heating battery: recommendations and photos

What batteries can be painted

It is worth immediately clarifying that painting heating radiators is not possible in all cases. First of all, it is advisable to perform this operation for cast-iron radiators, on which a thick and uneven layer of paint not only spoils the exterior of the battery, but also greatly impairs the quality of heat transfer. The second type of batteries that can and should be painted are convectors made in the form of a bent riser pipe with fins pressed onto it.

If you are the owner modern models radiators with aluminum sections, then it is better to refuse the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bpainting. Of course, you can paint it, but you will have to apply many layers of paint, and you are unlikely to achieve the expected effect. The fact is that the battery is painted with a brush, and this method is, by definition, worse than the factory one, so it is better to leave the new battery models alone, and if necessary, cover them with a decorative screen.

How to paint a heating battery: the choice of paint and tools

Before proceeding to the main stage of work, you need to prepare. First, prepare soft brushes, which should be small in size and of two types - straight and curved. The straight brush is designed for painting the outer, easily accessible areas, and the curved one is for painting the back and internal surfaces radiator.

What paint to choose

The main role in this work is played by paint for radiators, which can be the following types:

• water-dispersion;
• alkyd;
• acrylic;
• oil.

Any paint for heating radiators must be resistant to abrasion, tolerate high temperatures (up to 100 degrees) and not emit toxic compounds when heated. In these parameters, the above options differ significantly from each other. For example, water-dispersion paints do not have bad smell and dry quickly, however, this type of coating is less resistant to abrasion than the others, that is, it will have to be updated more often.

acrylic paint has a chemical solvent in its composition, therefore, when used, an unpleasant odor is emitted, which has to be weathered from the room for a long time. The advantages of such a coating are high abrasion resistance and an attractive glossy appearance.

Alkyd paint for a radiator also has an unpleasant odor, but enjoys a high consumer demand due to high resistance to abrasion and a huge range of shades. In addition, the smell from modern building materials not so sharp.

Concerning oil paint, then it is used less and less as a coating for batteries and pipes. The reason for this is an unpleasant odor, a long drying time and the difficulty in applying an even layer.

How to paint radiators, it's up to you, but it's best to use alkyd paints well-known manufacturers. You just need to choose the right color for the cover.

How to paint radiators: preparatory stage

So, the materials are selected. Now you can go to preparatory stage. Old cast iron radiators can have paint chips and many layers on top of them, so you need to completely clean the radiator from the old paintwork to the metal. This operation can be performed using a hot air gun, which melts the old paint with a jet of hot air, after which it can be removed with a spatula.

If there was no mounting hair dryer at hand, then you can use an alternative option - a flushing solution. This solution is applied to the entire surface of the radiator, after which the heating device is covered with a film. After an hour of action of the cleaning solution, the paint can be removed with a spatula.

The main layer of paint has been removed, now we clean the battery from its remnants with fine emery or a special wire nozzle for a screwdriver. Then we degrease the surface of the radiator with a rag soaked in a special solution, such as white spirit. The final step is to cover the radiator with an anti-corrosion primer, which will protect the radiator from corrosion, but will also improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface.

Painting a heating battery: basic rules

It is immediately worth clarifying that the painting of the batteries should be done with the heating turned off. This limitation is due to the fact that the paint dries very quickly on a hot surface, which can lead to an uneven coating layer and smudges.

Before painting the radiator, lay an oilcloth or rag under it, which will protect the floors from paint getting on the floor. Start painting the radiator from hard-to-reach parts with a curved brush, and front side paint at the last moment. This approach will allow you not to smear the newly applied layer of paint, and your hands will remain clean.

In order for the paint for the heating battery to lie evenly, it must be applied in two thin layers. To apply the second layer, you need to wait for the first to dry completely.

Possible painting problems

During the implementation of each stage of work, unforeseen difficulties may arise - the paint falls unevenly or the old coating is not removed. In order not to spoil the materials, you can pause work, wait until it dries completely and start again by cleaning and degreasing the surface.

You can find out what paint to paint radiators with consultants in a specialized store, they will help you decide on a specific brand that is most popular among buyers.

To avoid additional difficulties, pay attention to the video instruction, where experts will help to study the painting algorithm in detail and follow the detailed steps.

Outcome

Painting radiators plays an important role, as this element of heating attracts attention and is a subject of interior and design of the room. Using the above tips, you can ensure that the old cast iron battery after processing it will look no worse than new, and the coating will last for many years.
