Comprehensive Renovation with POLIFARB: How to Choose the Right Materials for Interiors, Facades, Wood, and Metal

When planning a renovation or a large-scale construction project, every client and master craftsman aims for three main elements: aesthetics, durability, and material safety. Today's market offers hundreds of solutions, but how do you find the perfect balance between innovative technologies, strict environmental standards, and an affordable price?

The Ukrainian full-cycle manufacturer POLIFARB UKRAINE LLC has been helping to solve these challenges for over 20 years, creating comfort in homes and protecting industrial and residential facilities from harsh weather conditions. In this article, we will examine the technical nuances of choosing materials for high-quality interior and exterior renovations, in line with modern quality standards.

1. Secrets of Perfect Walls: Choosing Eco-Friendly Interior Paint

Interior decoration requires a special approach since room walls are constantly subjected to mechanical impacts, and in children's rooms or kitchens, to frequent staining as well. When choosing a compound for interior work, it is crucial to pay attention to its washability class, hiding power, and safety.

When selecting interior paint, it is vital to analyze not just the color, but also the level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Products that meet strict safety criteria receive official eco-labeling according to the international ISO 14024 standard. In Ukraine, the body that conducts such certification and coordinates the environmental safety movement is the All-Ukrainian Non-Governmental Organization “Living Planet”. The presence of the "Green Crane" mark guarantees that the paint is safe for allergy sufferers and does not emit toxic fumes.

The Polifarb interior paint line features premium-class products developed with these strict requirements in mind:

• DIAMOND 2: An acrylic-latex paint with a deep matt, velvety finish. It features Class 1 wet scrub resistance and perfectly masks minor imperfections on ceilings and walls.

• DIAMOND 7 and DIAMOND 15: Products with satin and silky-gloss finishes. Due to their enhanced wear resistance, they are recommended for high-traffic areas such as corridors, kitchens, schools, and children's playrooms.

• Ekofarba: An eco-friendly and hypoallergenic solution for bedrooms, providing a snow-white, "breathable" surface.

Expert Tip: Always use a high-quality deep-penetration primer before painting. This strengthens the substrate, reduces topcoat consumption by 15–20%, and ensures a uniform color without patches.

2. A Reliable Shield for Your Home: Facade Materials and DSTU Standards

The exterior walls of a building bear the brunt of the elements daily: UV rays, rain, temperature fluctuations, and frost. Ordinary paint won't cut it here — an elastic and hydrophobic barrier is required.

When evaluating the durability of protective coatings, technologists rely on strict state regulations. The classification of paints and varnishes by their resistance to wet scrubbing, water vapor permeability, and weather resistance is regulated by standards that can be tracked on the official portal of SE “UkrNDNC” (Ukrainian Scientific Research and Training Center for Standardization, Certification and Quality Problems).

Specially designed for long-lasting exterior protection in accordance with DSTU norms, Polifarb offers its facade paint series:

• Silikon Fasad: A professional silicone paint with a self-cleaning effect. Dirt and dust are simply washed away by regular rain. It is ideal for thermal insulation systems (including mineral wool) due to its superior water vapor permeability ("breathing" effect).

• Rubber Farba: A unique acrylic rubber paint. Its super-elastic structure literally "contracts and expands" along with micro-movements of the walls, preventing cracks on the facade, plinth, or roof.

3. Protecting Wood and Metal Amid Infrastructure Modernization

Metal structures suffer from corrosion, while wood is vulnerable to decay, fungi, and pests. Protecting metal is a top priority in Ukraine's construction and restoration sectors today. According to analytical market research of the metallurgical sector by GMK Center, the demand for high-quality pre-painted steel and protective coatings is growing steadily. This dictates new requirements for industrial chemistry.

The Polifarb wood and metal materials catalog includes heavy-duty compounds capable of protecting structures even in aggressive environments:

• Primer-Enamel 7in1: A versatile acrylic product for heating radiators, wooden elements, and concrete. It does not yellow over time, dries quickly, and has no pungent odor.

• Protection 3in1 (with Hammer Effect): An anti-corrosion enamel that can be applied directly onto tightly adhered rust. It simultaneously converts rust, primes, and creates a durable, textured decorative layer.

• DekoLux: A premium alkyd-urethane enamel that provides a mirror-like gloss (up to 95%) and protects wood and metal for up to 10 years.
