What to do if the wall is uneven?

Wall decoration is an important part of the entire house decoration process, because it is related to the aesthetics and practicality of the entire house. So what should we do if we encounter uneven walls during decoration? Now let me see what to do if the wall is uneven for your reference.

Some owners will find that bubbles, mold, water seepage, etc. appear on the walls of the rooms they live in for a long time. This means that the walls were not renovated properly during the renovation. So how should the walls be decorated to avoid such problems? Let’s take a look at the related content of wall treatment! So that the owner can have a detailed understanding of the wall treatment.

The next step is to deal with wall problems, such as wall cracks, leveling, patching, etc. For the treatment of cracks, we usually choose kraft paper tape dipped in white latex to stick it to the cracks. If the wall is uneven, we use gypsum to repair it.

Taping is generally a process required for non-load-bearing walls such as lightweight walls and thermal insulation walls. The best patching is mesh cloth, which can effectively To prevent wall cracking.

The first step: plastering

Plastering is a paste made of a layer of lime and other materials on the wall, but before plastering , the surface of the wall should be fresh and clean first, including cleaning the dust, loose objects, dirt, oil stains, etc. on the wall, and cleaning the wall well. If there are obvious uneven areas on the surface of the masonry foundation material, they should be leveled in advance and filled with 1:3 cement mortar; the wall should be watered before plastering. Generally, the brick wall foundation will be watered twice to prevent water seepage from the brick surface. The depth is about 8-10 mm, which can meet the requirements of plastering.

Step 2: Putty

Before applying putty, you should first level the wall with plaster. After doing a good job of leveling the wall, the next step is to scrape the wall. Putty's the project. In the wall decoration process, putting putty requires multiple processes, and the materials used must also be delicate. Apply the putty material evenly on the wall to form a flat and neat decorative effect. A general gypsum interface agent costs about 2 yuan per kilogram, and a bag of 20 kilograms costs 40 yuan. Apply it thinly on the cement wall, and the first putty project is completed. The tools used are also special tools for painting the wall putty, so if the owner needs to try the work of painting the putty himself, he does not have to worry about not handling the wall putty layer well.

Step 3: Sand patching

After the putty work is completed, the next step is to sand patch the wall. Sand patching refers to polishing the putty-touched wall once and smoothing out the uneven areas on the wall. Sand patching is a hard work that requires patience. After the workers complete the sand patching work, if the owner needs to check whether the wall is smooth, the owner can turn on a high-power light at night to check whether it is flat and smooth. Especially the details where doors, windows and walls are combined need to be carefully checked to avoid bubbles during the application of latex paint.

Step 4: Paint

In the painting process, you can directly roll the latex paint twice, but generally before painting, the wall will be coated with a layer of waterproof The putty layer can effectively prevent mildew, water leakage and other phenomena on the wall. The spraying method is better, but you need to spray a thin layer of decorative putty (barrel decorative putty) on top of the water-resistant putty, and sand it with 1200-grit sandpaper, and then spray latex paint. That's it, and only one spray of paint. If the wall has been renovated for a long time and you want to touch up the paint on the wall, you don’t need to remove the original paint. You can just spray paint directly on the wall.
