In the process of home decoration, wall treatment is a very important link. As the basic work of wall treatment, scraping putty has a crucial impact on the flatness and aesthetics of the wall. So, is it suitable to scrape putty in winter?This article will analyze the temperature, humidity, material properties and other aspects to answer this question for you.
First of all, let's understand the basic process of scraping putty. Scraping putty is to mix putty powder and water evenly according to a certain proportion, apply it to the wall, and compact the putty through a batch scraping tool to make it fit closely with the wall, so as to achieve the purpose of leveling the wall. After scraping putty, the wall also needs to be sanded, painted and other follow-up treatments to ensure the aesthetics and service life of the wall.
Next, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of scraping putty in winter.
Pros:1Fast drying speed: The temperature in winter is low, and the moisture content in the air is relatively small, which is conducive to the drying of putty. Generally speaking, the drying time after scraping putty in winter is faster than in summer, which can shorten the construction period.
2.Reduce the possibility of wall cracking: In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, if you choose to scrape putty in summer, it is easy to cause wall cracking due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the wall. In winter, scraping putty can reduce the possibility of wall cracking due to the small temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.
3.Energy saving: Scraping putty in winter can reduce the use of air conditioning, heating and other equipment due to the small temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, thereby saving energy.
Cons: 1Difficult construction: The temperature is low in winter, and the putty powder is easy to freeze after mixing with water, resulting in the putty being unable to be applied normally. Therefore, it is necessary to take certain heat preservation measures to scrape putty in winter, such as heating the putty powder and water to a suitable temperature in advance.
2.Material properties are affected: The temperature is low in winter, and the performance of some coatings may be affected, such as slower drying speed and poor film formation effect. Therefore, when scraping putty in winter, it is necessary to choose coating products suitable for winter construction.
To sum up, there are both advantages and disadvantages to scraping putty in winter. From the point of view of temperature, humidity, material properties, etc., as long as appropriate insulation measures are taken and the right coating products are selected, putty scraping can be carried out in winter. However, it should be noted that due to the difficulty of construction in winter, it is recommended to choose an experienced construction team to operate to ensure the quality of construction.
