More Kitchen Ceiling Painting Errors To Avoid In West Chester, PA
In looking to improve your home, it’s entirely possible that you will look to where you may paint certain rooms and thus get them looking better.
However, as you may remember from our previous article about kitchen ceiling painting errors, there are certain key errors that you are going to want to avoid should you be painting your kitchen ceiling.
With that being the case, let’s have a look at some more kitchen ceiling painting errors to avoid when you want a well painted kitchen.
1. Removing Nothing From The Kitchen
One fairly simple mistake that people make when they’re looking to paint their kitchen ceiling is in not removing a single thing from the kitchen before they start the painting process.
Though of course you are fully able to and allowed to cover the things in your kitchen prior to starting the painting process, you may well find yourself creating tripping hazards by doing this.
By removing furniture and other things from your kitchen, you will make the kitchen a safer place to paint and you will eliminate the possibility of getting paint on those things that you remove.
2. Not Using Primer First
If you are going to be painting your kitchen ceiling and ensuring that it gets painted well, you are going to want to apply a coat of primer prior to the first coat of paint.
The benefit of applying primer to the ceiling before you start painting it is that you will find that it covers over stains that you may have had a hard time removing much better than even a few coats of paint.
Additionally, making use of primer will get the surface that you are going to be painting to be much more smooth, making the entire painting process better.
3. Making A Scaffold
If you are looking to reach up to the ceiling, it’s entirely possible that you are going to find that a portable ladder is going to be one of the better ways to get up there — you’ll be able to get to different parts of the kitchen and it will be most safe.
The alternative of trying to make a scaffold is much worse for a number of reasons, one of which is that it is quite possibly unstable and you risk injury or worse when you are making use of the scaffold.
Additionally, you are going to have a harder time just getting around the kitchen and getting to different parts of the kitchen ceiling — and thus the process of painting the ceiling will take significantly longer than if you make use of a ladder.
4. Not Ventilating
Though you may think of the kitchen as a fairly large space that does not need any sort of ventilation while you are painting, this is not at all the case and it is important to ventilate the room as you are taking on your painting project.
Ideally you are going to want to make some sort of cross breeze happen by perhaps having a door and a window open, or even a couple of windows open that are across from one another so that you enable a cross breeze.
What is going to happen is that you are going to get all of the rather unpleasant paint fume filled air out of the room and in its place the fresh breeze from outside to come in and make the entire painting experience to be much more pleasant for you.
This is the sort of thing that doesn’t take too long to set up and has many rewards for you as the painter.
