how to select the right paint brush and roller Choosing the correct equipment for your painting job can be the difference between a mediocre finish and a fantastic finish. There are many different types of brushes and rollers to choose from and various painting techniques.

op quality paints not only give you easier and better coverage, but are longer lasting and easier to clean than low-grade paints. Budget for the best &dash; it pays in the long run. SAFETY Always keep tools and materials away from children. Read the instructions before beginning your project. Never pour paint or paint residue down the drain. 1. PAINT BRUSHES AND THEIR USES The best width brush for the job: 12mm: 25mm: Best for small jobs and touch-up work such as toys, chairs and timber trim. 38mm: Suitable for furniture, small panels, window frames, trellis, mouldings, shutters and down-pipes. 50mm: For small to medium size work doors, screens, table tops, railings and cabinets. 63mm: A handy size for outdoor furniture, cupboards, gutters, eaves and doors. 75mm: For medium to large areas. Fence posts and rails, floor boards, skirtings and fascias. 100mm and above: For all large flat areas. Most suitable for walls, floors, ceilings, roof, fences. Long handled cutter brushes: Specially made for door and window frames and ceiling/wall corner sections. Popular brushes for finishing after roller painting. The tapered edged tip ensures accurate cutting in while the long handle helps to control the stroke 2. SELECTING A BRUSH A professional looking paint job is easier when the right brush is used. Avoid cheap brushes with short bristles and insufficient bristle pack. Choose a brush made of full length fine quality hog bristles. Quality bristles provide more efficient pick8

homesguideliving

www.homesguide.com.au

up and steady release (lay-off) of paint, resulting in a more even, streak-free finish. A good brush holds more paint, makes paint application smoother and reduces paint splattering. A quick way to check this is to feel the pack of bristle. It should feel full and slightly resilient. The greater the bristle pack, the better the paint holding capacity and the smoother the layoff. Although cheaper brushes will not last as long as premium grade brushes they are quite suitable for the occasional job where finish, quality and brush life are not critical. 3. THE RIGHT BRUSH FOR THE PAINT Heavy oil-based gloss and paints, primers and varnishes require a medium bristle length, solidly packed brush for effective control. Brush the final coat on lightly with the bristle tips to achieve an even nostreak finish. Acrylic (water -based) paints are best applied with a longer bristle brush. Synthetic filament brushes ideal for use with acrylic paint. These brushes wash up easily and give a smooth finish. Be sure to wash out dry paint forming at the heel of the brush - especially in hot weather. When applying wood stain to rough sawn surfaces use a shorter bristle brush. For staining fine surfaces always use a better quality brush Tips for better painting. Prepare the surface carefully before painting. Thorough cleaning and smooth sanding will ensure a better finish. Flick the brush bristles back and forth before use to remove dust and loose bristles. Hold the brush like a pencil, using long, steady strokes. Dip the brush only halfway into the paint. Remove excess by tapping gently against top of can. Paint with the brush tip - not the sides.

Brush paint on dry area and work into wet area to allow overlap to blend. Start at the top when painting walls. 4. CLEANING BRUSHES Rinse in the recommended solvent for the paint used. Then wash thoroughly in warm soapy water. Rinse well, shake out excess water. Comb the bristles straight and hand shape them while still damp. Hang up to dry. Wrap bristles in brown paper and store the brush flat and out of direct sunlight. Be sure that when stored the bristles are not in contact with other objects. 5. SUCCESSFUL ROLLER PAINTING Various types of rollers: Universal Covers: Polyester cover suitable for use with ALL paints including full gloss enamels. Can be used on smooth and semi-smooth surfaces and gives a finish second to none. Long Nap Covers: Polyester cover suitable for ALL paints on semi rough surfaces such as brickwork and masonry. Has exceptional paint holding capacity so is also suitable for semi smooth surfaces where heavy coverage is more important than finish. Wall Cover: Ideal for all interior broad wall surfaces. Ceiling Cover: Ideal for ceilings providing a smooth thick paint film. Mohair Blend Covers: This cover gives the ultimate finish to full and semi gloss enamels on smooth surfaces. The most suitable cover for applying polyurethanes, epoxy resins and fibreglass coatings. Lamswool Fabric: 100% lambswool specially processed for applying paints. Ideal for PVA and acrylic paints. Coarse Texture Foam Cover: Specially designed loops in this cover lift texture paints into peaks for a rich stucco look. Applies all texture finishes in one step. Clean by simply hosing out excess material. Medium Texture Foam Cover: Specially woven loops lift texture paints into peaks for a medium texture finish. Applies all texture finishes in one step. Clean by simply hosing out excess material.

Fine Texture Foam Cover: A very fine foam material gives a fine textured finish. Applies all texture finishes in one step. Easy cleaning by simply hosing out excess material. Gloss Foam Rollers: For use with full and semi-gloss enamels on smaller areas such as kitchen cupboards where a mirror finish is required. Corrugated Rollers (foam): For use on 75mm corrugated roof and wall sheeting. Fits standard cage frame. Ideal for use with full and semi gloss enamels and roofing paints. 6. BRUSH CARE AND STORAGE A quality brush will last year after year and can continue to apply paint smoothly if it is looked after. There are some things you should not do: Never stir paint with a brush. Never let a brush soak in water for a prolonged period - it will become floppy. Never use a wide brush to paint pipes or narrow strips. This causes the brush to “fishtail”. Never leave a brush to harden. Clean immediately after use. Never rest a brush on its bristles. The weight will curl them, ruining the flagged tips. 7. SELECTING THE RIGHT ROLLER NAP Roller sleeves are sold in short, medium and long nap lengths. A short nap, usually about 5 to 8mm deep, does not hold as much paint as the others, but is the best kind to use with glossy paint since it leaves a thin, very smooth coating. The all-purpose medium nap, about 8 -12mm deep, holds any type of paint well and produces a softlooking stippled effect. The pile of a long nap, about 20mm, works a heavy load of paint into the irregularities of a textured, damaged or extremely porous surface, and can create a deeply stippled effect on any surface. 8. PREPARING FOR ROLLER PAINTING Rollers need no special preparation unless you are using gloss paint and a new,

fluffy short-nap roller. In that case, prime the roller by sloshing it in soapy water to remove loose strands of material. Rinse thoroughly and make sure the nap is dry before you begin. For most rooms, a 1.2 metre extension handle is all you will need to reach high places. Loading the roller with paint Use a roller tray. Crimp a sheet of aluminium foil securely round the rim of the tray. Half fill the well of the tray with paint and dip the roller in. It should be a little less than half submerged. Lift the roller and roll it down the sloped grating two or three times - but not back into the paint. Dip the roller into the paint once more and roll it on the grating until the cover has been evenly saturated. Do not overload the roller or it can drip and slide, producing an uneven coat. 9. PAINTING ACTION Start with a Zig Zag: To paint a ceiling, begin about 1 metre from the corner and roll towards the corner - the first stroke with a newly loaded roller should always be away from you. Without lifting the roller from the surface, continue to make a “W” pattern about 1 metre square. To paint a wall, push the roller upwards on the first stroke away from you and complete the “M” pattern. The initial strokes spread the heaviest part of the paint load evenly over the section. Filling in: After completing an “M” or a “W”, begin filling in a 1 metre square by criss-crossing strokes of the roller without lifting it from the surface. Each stroke should be about 450mm to 600mm long. Use even pressure to avoid bubbles and blotches, and stop when the entire section is evenly covered with paint. Moving your roller in one direction may produce more of a stippled effect than moving it in the other . Bear this in mind when doing your final strokes. Move along to the next section, load the roller again and repeat the sequence.

building a green home P

lanning a renovation or building from scratch? With winter on its way and energy bills rising, there’s no better time to consider building your home sustainably to reduce energy costs and add resale value. Eminè Mehmet provides her top areas to consider when building a green home.

BUILDING ENVELOPE The most important aspect of a sustainable home is its building envelope. This includes the roof, walls, windows and floors. Paying careful attention to these crucial components can result in reduced energy bills, a more comfortable internal environment and reduced environmental impact. UBIQ is an Australian company with an innovate product you can use to line internal walls,

homesguideliving

floors, ceilings and even clad the outside of your home. Their INEX range is a lightweight sheet made from a unique Low Carbon Fibre Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) technology. The boards are strong, durable, fire and water resistant and best of all non toxic.

INSULATION Insulation to ceilings, floors and walls can create a temperate internal environment. Polastic Insulation System is an Australian made, non-conductive, 3-in-1 insulation, thermal break and vapour/air barrier that is highly effective at blocking heat transfer. When used on the roof, walls and suspended floors it tightly seals up a building against air leakage creating an ‘esky’ effect for your home and dramatically reducing energy consumption.

www.homesguide.com.au

WINDOWS Most heat loss and gain occurs through windows. High performance glazing positioned correctly can trap internal heat in winter and reduce it in summer. Rylock TB Series Thermally Broken windows are hinged windows with an innovative outer frame offering two key features: 1. A thermally broken aluminium frame means the aluminium on the outside is insulated from the aluminium on the inside with a polyamide insulator. 2. An inline timber reveal helps shield the aluminium frame leaving less aluminium to heat up. These two features work together to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.

HEATING Rising energy costs makes mechanically heating a home

challenging. There are various options available, but the idea of an open fireplace that looks great, warms your home, is energy efficient AND good for the environment is hard to pass up. Eco Choice Fires offer a range of fireplaces using wood pellets made from saw dust waste, crushed olive pit or grain as fuel, they offer the cleanest way to burn wood with the lowest emissions and highest efficiency of any fireplace.

PAINT With walls taking up much of the area of your home, it’s important to consider not only the colour of the paint, but also its health aspects.

has superior washability, stain and scuff resistance, is easy to clean and maintain.

FLOOR COVERINGS If you love the feeling of carpet under your feet, Kruger Carpets offers an incredibly soft range from Godfrey Hirst called eco+. Made from Sorona® polymer, a natural corn sugar, it is available in a great range of colours. But don’t forget the underlay! Underlay is the most overlooked aspect of a home. A good underlay can enhance the feel and assist with acoustic and thermal properties. Airstep is 100% Australian made by Bridgestone and is the most technologically advanced foam underlay in Australia. It is made from 90% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.

council watch News and updates by the hills shire council TORRS STREET CAR PARK GIVEN GREEN LIGHT A commuter car park on Torrs St, Baulkham Hills has been given the green light following successful negotiations between The Hills Shire Council and the NSW Government. Hills Shire Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne thanked Baulkham Hills State MP David Elliott for being a strong advocate for the car park within the Government, which will see more residents leave their cars and using public transport. “Council has continued to advocate for commuter car parking around the Sydney Hills and we’ve seen some real progress being made on Torrs St, Baulkham Hills,” Mayor Byrne said. “The site is owned by Roads and Maritimes Services (RMS) and they’ve agreed to make the land available for use as a free commuter car park for very low annual rent to Council, provided we maintain the car park and cover the lighting costs.” “Transport for NSW have also agreed to fund the car park construction which will support the growing demand for bus services around Baulkham Hills.” Mr Elliott said the car park should accommodate 178 parking spaces with construction scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014. “The continued growth in commuter car park demands makes this project not so much a necessity as just common sense,” Mr Elliott said. “Local residents will now have the

homesguideliving

opportunity to park and ride without causing inconvenience for other residents whose homes are close to bus stops.” “As more people move to The Hills, projects like this will continue to provide the amenity and lifestyle our residents deserve.”

KELLYVILLE PARK MASTER PLAN APPROVED FOR 2017 Major upgrades have been approved for Kellyville Park to cater for the growing number of residents and young families expected to move in to the Balmoral Land Release area. The upgrades to the park will include two new multi-purpose fields, an expansion of existing fields to full size, a new access road, significant reconfiguration, parking spaces for 250 cars and a new amenities building. The upgrade work will be staged and commence in the 2017/2018 financial year. Hills Shire Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne said that the approved Master Plan addresses new access arrangements for the park, which will be changed when Memorial Avenue is upgraded by Roads and Maritime Services. “This is an existing park that features playing fields which will be expanded to cater for the thousands of new residents and young families we expect in Kellyville over the next few decades,” Mayor Byrne said. “$3.25 million of developer contributions have helped to fund this project which will make this park a focal point for the surrounding community.” “It will be home to weekend sport, picnic areas, a grandstand, shared bike and pedestrian paths, and 250 car parking spaces.” Mayor Byrne said that although the upgrade and re-configuration of the park was a few years away, residents could be assured that the Council had planned for the additional sporting demands expected. “We have a very fit and healthy population that love playing sport. Like most Sydney councils, there just aren’t www.homesguide.com.au

enough sporting fields to cater for everybody. But we are working hard to ensure that we can get as many people on the pitch every weekend.”The configuration of playing fields has not yet been determined.

SECOND HARBOUR CROSSING A GREAT OUTCOME FOR SYDNEY HILLS Extending the North West Rail Link into the CBD and through to Sydney’s south west would be a fantastic outcome for residents and businesses in the Sydney Hills, said Hills Shire Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne. Mayor Byrne said she was encouraged by an announcement from NSW Premier Mike Baird that an extension of the North West Rail Link and a series of other major infrastructure projects were being planned. “The current NSW Government under the leadership of NSW Premier Mike Baird and former Premier Barry O’Farrell have done a fantastic job with the planning and construction of the North West Rail Link,” Mayor Byrne said. “The concern many residents did have about the rail link though was that it would require a changeover at Chatswood station rather than going all the way through to the CBD.” “What we have heard from the Premier today is that he will push to fund the extension of the Rail Link through to the CBD.” Mayor Byrne said that Hills residents had previously given up hope of a North West Rail Link ever being constructed. “It wasn’t until residents saw construction begin that they actually believed the North West Rail Link was going to be built. The announcement of the rail link extending into the CBD will have residents and businesses feeling even more optimistic about the region’s future.” “Once again I commend the NSW Government for their work on the North West Rail Link and I hope they can secure funding for this fantastic project. It will be of great benefit to the Sydney Hills, Sydney CBD and South-West.”
