Dekoratiivvärvid

Dekoratiivvärvid, known in English as decorative paints or finishes, are a broad category of surface coatings designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of interior and exterior surfaces. Unlike standard paints that primarily offer protection and a uniform color, decorative paints incorporate special effects, textures, and unique visual qualities. These can range from subtle shimmers and metallic sheens to pronounced textures resembling natural materials like stone, wood, or stucco.

The application techniques for decorative paints are often more elaborate than for conventional paints. Artisans may use brushes, spatulas, rollers, or even specialized tools to create intricate patterns and textures. Common effects include marbling, sponging, ragging, stenciling, and the creation of distressed or antique looks. The choice of decorative paint and application method depends on the desired final appearance, the substrate being treated, and the overall design scheme.

Dekoratiivvärvid can be water-based or solvent-based, with formulations varying to achieve different textures and durability. Many decorative paints are formulated with fine aggregates, mica particles, or other additives that contribute to their unique visual properties. They are frequently used in residential, commercial, and hospitality settings to add character, depth, and a touch of luxury to walls, ceilings, and architectural features. The versatility of decorative paints allows for a wide spectrum of artistic expression, transforming ordinary surfaces into focal points of design.
