You dream that you have marble columns near the door at home, but you think that it is expensive for you at all? There is a way out – make an imitation under marble using MDF plates and finishing them with different types of varnish. Looking at such beauty, no one will believe that you have done this using a nineteen millimeter plate of mineral-fine texture, and not real marble. Such a striking resemblance to marble can be achieved by labor -intensive stove finish with varnish. At the first stage of the construction work, the wood -fiber plate is primed, after the first layer of varnish under the terracotta is applied with subsequent grinding of the surface.
In order to make marble columns near the door, the following materials are needed: twenty -three parts made from the MDF plate with a thickness of nineteen millimeters (two columns in the size of one hundred eighty millimeters by two thousand one hundred millimeters; four basement details – three hundred and two hundred and two hundred millimeters; four; Layers of forty -four millimeters for two thousand one hundred millimeters – three hundred and thirty -eight -two covers – one – one thousand six hundred and eighty millimeters, the other – a thousand sixty sixty millimeters; millimeters and one lining – two hundred forty by twenty millimeters), one filler (three linear meters), four plywood nineteen millimeter supports of ninety -fifty millimeters, twoeighty millimeter corners of steel with shelves. As well as paint and varnish material – varnish of five types of seven hundred and fifty milliliters of each (primer with synthetic oils, half -machine for terracotta, half -material white and black, transparent), linseed olifa, as well as an turpentine used as a solvent. To carry out finishing work, tools will be needed: two brushes – one with a squirrel long pile, the second is wide with a short pile flat to correct rudely drawn contours of marble imitation.
To give massiveness, not large in the thickness of the wood -fiber slab, as well as visual enhancement of the column, the side parts of the column should be framed around the perimeter with narrow overhead parts so that the internal size of the basement is commensurate with the thickness of the column, and a protrusion remains from the back side. Next, using two steel corners with shelves, fix the wall -mounted support and shelf so that the grooves are the same depth as the corner. We adjust the finished design by size by implementing a temporary fastener of the column using dowels and screws. We drive the fillets. After we move on to paintwork. The work procedure is as follows: we make a primer with varnish, then we cover the surface with semi -water varnish under the terracotta and olifim. It is important that each layer of varnish is well dried. Further, with a brush with a squirrel pile along the newly applied Olifa, we make uneven strokes of white varnish, and soften the sharp contours of the strokes with a flat wide brush. Then, using a squirrel brush, we apply it with a black varnish in the form of lines with the tip, smoothing rough strokes. After the olifa dries completely, we cover the entire structure with transparent varnish. On the screws attached with screws to the walls and shelves we put ready -made marble columns, fixing them on the front side with screws. And the upper and lower ones on the sides are fixed with black screws. In marble columns near the door we mount the switch.
