Creating a "fur coat" effect using decorative plaster and a textured roller

A wall with a "fur coat" effect means spraying plaster on indonesia mobile database surface of the walls with a brush, broom or special machine. "Fur coat" is most popular for facade surfaces, but it will also look interesting indoors. A modern method of creating a "fur coat" effect is to use a textured roller, which allows you to apply an even layer, making the walls look presentable.

The facade treatment for a "fur coat" is carried out in the same way as indoors. First, putty is applied, plastering is performed and a decorative roller with pile is applied over the layer of plaster. If a mistake was made during the work or the surface is uneven, then the excess can be removed with a spatula. It is not allowed to take breaks when creating the "fur coat" effect, since otherwise the composition will dry out, leaving very noticeable joints at the edges.

In addition to rollers for decorative finishing of walls, a sponge is also used, which allows achieving a spotted soft pattern. The sponge can be synthetic or sea. The image obtained with a synthetic sponge is much different from the pattern made with a natural one, since the first sponge has an ordered pore structure. This makes the pattern correct. A natural sponge has larger pores, located in a chaotic order, which makes the pattern itself also disordered. To achieve a more unique image, some experts advise cutting such a sponge in half, applying the solution with its inner side. When working, you need to touch the base with light blotting movements.

The pattern can be applied in two ways: with a fabric bundle or with flaps. The first method can create a soft, unique pattern, and the second is similar to treating the surface with a sponge. There is also some combination of a tampon and fabric in the form of special tampon rollers. Such a roller does not create any differences for surface treatment, but it is much more convenient and faster to work with. Also, on sale in specialized stores you can find design rollers that form complex and beautiful patterns.
