Beckers paints: varieties and colors

Over the past few years, products made from environmentally friendly materials have gained immense popularity. The greatest attention in our time is paid precisely to paints and varnishes, which, with a low quality of raw materials and production, can be dangerous and emit toxic gases not only during painting, but also after drying. Therefore, most people try to choose the most harmless to health formulations, to which the paints of the Swedish company Beckers quite rightly belong.

This company was founded in 1865 and from a small factory has grown into a huge concern, which has several factories throughout Europe, and also has quality certificates according to European standards. Now the products of the Beckers company are rightfully considered one of the best in the world and have a huge number of advantages over the products of other brands.

A wide range of products allows you to purchase products for any type of work, and a wide palette of colors will allow you to choose a paint for every taste. The main advantage of Beckers paints is their complete safety not only during use, but even during the production process, where exclusively environmentally friendly raw materials are used. Paints are available in volumes of 3 or 10 liters and can be found in almost any hardware store.

The company produces paints and varnishes for external and internal surfaces. Below are the most popular items in each category.

For surfaces located on the outside of buildings, Beckers offers two types of primers, four types of paints and a special impregnation. These products are manufactured for painting external facades, metal and concrete surfaces.

Beckers Putsprimer LS is a primer containing silicone additives. It is used for painting brick surfaces or ceramics. Beckers Putsgeund's universal styrene resin primer is suitable for all substrates.

Types of paints:

• Beckers Putsfasadfarg P. This type is used to work on already plastered surfaces and concrete facades. It contains acrylic resin, which, when dried, creates an additional film for protection.
• Beckers Akrylatfarg. This product is water-based and used for painting concrete, wood and metal substrates. The paint dries very quickly, does not fade and matts the wall.

• Beckers Golvfarg. This type of paint is made for wood, concrete floors and linoleum. It also resists the effects of oily liquids.
• Beckers Sockelfarg. This paint is made on the basis of water and mattes the base. It contains latex, which contributes to the additional strength of the coating. As a rule, it is used for application to the foundation and drain pipe.

Becker also produces Beckers Regnostopp colorless impregnation, which ensures the formation of a water-repellent film on the outer walls of the building and faster drying of the next paint layers.

This category includes interior paints and varnishes, the walls and floors of which are made from a variety of raw materials. The advantage of this type of goods is the speed of their drying, which is equal to three hours. After the composition has dried, an additional layer of paint is usually applied. Among the many options, there are those that are designed to cover walls and ceilings with paint already on them.In this case, you just need to clean the base and treat it with a special tool that will prepare it for work.

Most of the products are water-based, but, despite this feature, they are still very stable and retain their color saturation for a long time. Paints also differ in purpose: for rooms with increased dryness or for rooms with high humidity.

In the second case, when applying paint, you will get a smooth wall with a moisture-resistant coating, which is similar in characteristics to ceramics. Some foods form a layer after drying that prevents scratches.

Beckers interior paints:

• Elegant Takfarg. This product mattes the base and is made on the basis of an aqueous emulsion. It is successfully used both for painting and for repainting the surface.
• Elegant Vaggfarg Helmatt. This type is used in order to create a matte surface that will be resistant to wet cleaning.

• Elegant Vaggfarg Halvmatt. The paint has a semi-matte effect and is used when washable surfaces are required.
• Elegant Grundfarg. This primer is used for substrates that require repainting.

Reviews of Beckers paints are positive, both from professional painters and from ordinary users. Users especially praise the wide range of assortments and the varied colors of the brand.

The quality of the paint is considered to be high, and its additional properties in the form of resistance to scratches, washing and moisture allow customers to recommend Beckers paints to friends and acquaintances.
