When it comes to drywall, applying Belka couldn’t be easier. Unlike traditional wall coverings that often require paste and sanding, Belka allows you to skip these extra steps. If your drywall is in good condition, you can apply Belka directly to the surface without the need for a primer.
However, there’s one thing to watch out for: ungalvanized screws. These screws can rust if they come into contact with moisture. To avoid this, simply coat the screws with paint or putty before applying Belka.
Drywall
Applying Belka to a drywall surface is straightforward. Normally, when applying wall coverings, you need to use paste and sand the wall first. However, with Belka, these extra steps are not necessary. As long as the drywall is in good condition, you can apply Belka directly without any additional preparation.
One important note is about ungalvanized screws. These screws may oxidize when they come into contact with moisture. To avoid this, we recommend coating the screws with paint or putty before applying Belka, ensuring the surface remains intact and smooth.
Plaster
Plaster can be a bit trickier when it comes to applying Belka, as it tends to absorb moisture quickly. This can affect the color of Belka, causing it to lighten. To prevent this from happening and to maintain the vibrancy of Belka’s colors, we recommend applying a waterproof primer before you begin. A primer helps seal the surface, creating a smoother and more consistent base for the Belka, and ensures the color stays true to its shade.
Cement
Typically, applying three coats of plaster is recommended for cement surfaces. However, when using Belka, you can skip the final plaster layer and apply Belka directly as the third layer, saving time and effort.
Grout / Stucco
Belka can be applied directly to grout or stucco without any additional prep. However, if there’s dust on the surface, it could reduce the adhesion and performance of Belka. To ensure the best results, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust before application.
Gas Concrete (Aerated Concrete)
Belka can be applied directly to properly installed aerated concrete without any additional treatment. Just ensure the surface is clean before application.
Oily Surfaces
Belka can be applied on oily surfaces, but it’s essential to clean off the oil before application. Use a detergent or cleaning solution to ensure the oil is removed, which will improve Belka's effectiveness and adhesion.
Metal
Some metal surfaces may react with water, which could affect the Belka application. To test, lightly water the metal surface and wait 1-2 hours. If a reaction occurs (rust or corrosion), apply a waterproof primer before using Belka. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed by cleaning any dirt or rust from the surface first.
Lime (Calcitic)
Lime surfaces can be quite dusty, so it's important to clean the surface thoroughly before applying Belka. For the best performance, we recommend using a waterproof primer on lime surfaces to create a smoother, more stable base.
Glass
Before applying Belka on glass, make sure the surface is completely clean. Dust, oil, or grime can affect adhesion, so it's a good idea to use dish soap and a sponge for cleaning. Once the glass is properly cleaned, Belka will stick perfectly, ensuring long-lasting results.
Stone Surfaces (Ceramic, Tile, etc.)
Belka can be easily applied to stone surfaces, including ceramic and tile. For indented stone surfaces, the depth of the indentations matters. If the depth is around 1-2 cm, you can apply Belka directly. For deeper indentations, it's best to use Belka with a little less water in the hollow areas. This technique will ensure a smoother finish and enhance Belka's effectiveness.
Plastic Paint / Latex Paint / Water-Based Paint
Belka can be applied to surfaces painted with plastic-containing, latex, or water-based paints. However, if the quality of the paint is low, we recommend applying a waterproof primer beforehand. This will help ensure better adhesion and improve Belka's performance.
Wood
For wooden surfaces, we suggest applying a waterproof primer first. To achieve the best coverage and durability, apply one layer of primer horizontally and another layer vertically, creating a cross-hatch pattern. This method ensures a strong and durable base, allowing Belka to perform at its best.
Wallpaper
Belka can be easily applied to wallpaper, but the quality of the wallpaper will affect the ease of application. If the wallpaper is not securely adhered to the wall, Belka may cause it to peel off during application. To check if the wallpaper is solid, lightly wet it and leave it for a while. If it doesn't separate from the wall, you're good to go! However, if it starts peeling off, we recommend removing the wallpaper before applying Belka for optimal results.
Belka
You can apply multiple layers of Belka to enhance its properties. Adding additional layers will increase Belka's heat and sound insulation, fire resistance, durability, and many other fantastic benefits. Applying extra layers helps maximize Belka's performance, making it even more effective for your needs.
