Marker paints - description, types, tips for painting

For work

Marker wall for work

Comfortable . Forget the boundaries of your old dry erase board. After all, it is very often missing, right? Forget about moving and rotating boards that everyone constantly trips over. Forget about a separate projector screen.

Modern . It is already difficult to find an office where there is no marker board. A few years will pass and the same can be said about the marker wall. Be among the first!

Stylish . Now the marker coating can be absolutely any color. Everything for your design!

You can use paint absolutely everywhere:

• In a meeting room or conference room.
• In the manager's office.
• In the hall or corridor.
• In the rest room or kitchen.
• In warehouses and other technical premises.
• On doors, columns, cabinets.
• And of course, at your workplace, both on the table and on the wall in front of it.

Marker paint for walls: immense scope for creativity and 65+ best design options

Let's summarize.

In last place is Tikkurila magnetic paint. It takes the longest to dry (three whole days) and is also one of the most expensive. It is sold only in 0.5 liter containers, which is not very convenient for large-scale work.

Next comes Rust Oleum - the most expensive paint per square meter. Sold only in a 1 liter jar, it has an average coverage area. This is the only black paint, so it is more difficult to cover with a finishing coat. The only big plus is the drying speed. If labor time outweighs other considerations for you, Rust Oleum is an ideal choice: 5 hours to dry three coats, and you can apply the topcoat.

The next paint is Active Wall. Third place in price, sold in four different containers from 0.5 l to 5 l, painting time - 32 hours, coverage area - 2 m².

Silver from Dupli-color. Paint is in second place in cost, sold in containers of 1 liter and 2.5 liters, dries in 14 hours, coverage area is 2 m².

MagnetPaint is in the lead. Paint is in first place in terms of cost per square meter of coating - 1220 rubles / m². Like Active Wall, MagnetPaint is the best in volume (cans of 0.5 l, 1 l, 2.5 l, 5 l) - convenient for both home repairs and for an entire construction team. This is the only paint that can be diluted with water and applied with a spray gun. Drying time 32 hours, coverage area - 2 m².

Our opinion

Finally, let's express our thoughts. We made no mistakes with any of the foreign magnetic paints that participated in testing. The group of leaders turned out to be dense, and the top three Active Wall, Dupli-color and MagnetPaint were determined only by the combination of characteristics. We would like to highlight Rust Oleum - the most expensive, but also the fastest-drying paint.

Recommendations

Read our review and choose the magnetic paint that suits you best. The main thing is that whatever brand you choose, use interior paint and apply only to a clean, dry surface. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and you will receive a quality magnetic coating. Just like us.

For study

Remember always white and dry hands from chalk, a constantly heavy rag that you have to run around and wash, as well as creaking and non-writing chalk? Multi-colored crayons were generally very rare. Believe me, almost nothing has changed in schools and institutes now.

So let your children, schoolchildren and students study in the 21st century:

• Apply marker paint to the walls or an old chalkboard and forget about chalk!
• Transform any surface into a modern finish. Discover new ways to learn.
• Create a dynamic environment where schoolchildren or students can explore their ideas and talents.

The chalk school board is now out of date, because there is marker paint, with which you can turn an ordinary wall into an unlimited space for writing and drawing with a marker.

The coating is well suited for any educational institutions: kindergartens, schools, universities, etc.

Who discovered marker paints

More recently, these compositions were used only as an alternative to chalk boards, since from an aesthetic point of view, these paint and varnish products were not entirely suitable as interior finishing. But a few years ago, located in the USA, solved this problem. The specialists of this company have developed a paint and varnish material that is excellent for painting walls. This paint quickly gained great popularity and began to be used very often for painting walls in office buildings, children's and educational institutions, the dye was even used in hotels and catering organizations.

Many other manufacturers have begun to master the technology for making marker paint, and today it is produced by different companies. For example, the Dutch company The Magnetic Company, which is a world-famous manufacturer of magnetic paint and varnish products, produces both conventional marker paint mixtures and magnetic marker products. Moreover, the quality of Dutch materials is not inferior to the quality of products from the USA, and the cost of The Magnetic Company paints is much lower than the prices of Idea Paint dyes.

On average, the cost of one set of marker paint ranges from $100 to $200. This kit is enough to paint approximately 6 square meters of wall.

For home

Don’t want to stop your child from drawing on the wallpaper, but it’s also unpleasant to see scribbled walls? Then innovative coating is a must have in your home.

Drawing is one of the important ways in which a child develops, so it should be included in his daily life. Paint the walls and give your beloved child a lot of fun and joy. It’s so nice to see the smile of a happy baby every day.

Drawings on the wall in the room are interesting and funny. With marker paint for walls, they will appear again and again, without spoiling the walls. All coatings presented in our online store are not harmful to health and are an environmentally friendly product .

Marker paint can be applied to a smooth surface anywhere in your home. You can cover the walls of several rooms with marker paint, for example, in the nursery and in the hallway. Thus, the usual room will be unusual and new every day.

The uniqueness of marker coating is that it allows you to discover your talent and engage in creativity in a large space. Imagine, if for us an entire wall becomes an immense field for creativity, then for a child it is many times greater.

At your discretion, marker paint can be applied to the entire wall or to a specific part.

10/28/2015 — Alla Ivanovna, English teacher

Having worked in education for many years, I know that students need to be presented with information visually as well as vocally. I needed to refresh the board, and on the advice of friends, I bought Marat Ka chalkboard paint for the school board. Apply.

I made a marker surface in a driving school, I think that it is simply irreplaceable for demonstrating various situations on the road. I used white SketchPaint marker paint. I applied it myself and it turned out to be an excellent board on a flat surface. .

10/16/2015 — Stepan Borisovich

I bought and painted the chalkboard myself with chalkboard paint. I used Tikkurila Liitu black paint. Reasonable price, good quality, very easy to apply to the surface, you can even entrust it to a student. I recommend.

10/16/2015 — Alexey Anatolyevich, manager

We decided to modernize the office space, make it more modern and technologically advanced, so that clients would be pleased to come to us. Among other things, one of the walls was painted with marker paint, and this became a real “feature” of our office. .

10.11.2015 — Artem Aleksandrovich, cafe owner

I ordered a MagnetPaint magnetic slate surface for my cafe and did not regret it! You can not only draw on the surface with chalk, but also attach magnets. Now all the best offers and promotions, innovations in the menu - we write everything down in chalk at the entrance. .

Magnetic marker paint set

The downside is that the minimum volume of the can is 1 liter, which means you need to paint 14 m². This drawback is partially offset by the fact that the paint in the can does not dry out, so the leftovers can be safely stored.

The winner for the nursery is SketchPaint. Pros: no VOCs, a choice of 0.5 and 1 liter cans, application in 1 layer, odorless, dries in 3 days.

Our opinion

All the paints that took part in the painting coped with their task, and we received high-quality coatings on which we can draw repeatedly with a marker. The main thing is to follow the application rules and allow the coating to dry completely.

If you want the most budget-friendly paint, choose Rust Oleum. For painting large areas, the best choice is SketchPaint PRO. If you need to create a small marker coating, for example, in a nursery or in the kitchen, take SketchPaint: a 0.5 liter jar is enough for 3 m², 1 liter for 6 m².

Here is a test of marker coatings and our subjective opinion. Thank you for your attention!

Magnetic paints.

Which ones are better to choose and how to apply them correctly?

We have long wanted to test magnetic paints. But either there was no time, or something else got in the way. And then there were employees who had long wanted to make a magnetic wall in the nursery at home. It was as if they knew we would get to the magnetic paint tests and were patiently waiting for the results. Or they unobtrusively pushed him towards it. In any case, welcome: a review of magnetic paints based on practical testing.

What it is?

First, let's talk about magnetic paint. This is a base paint coating that contains metal particles - they create the effect of “magnetism”. Magnetic paint is applied to walls, floors, furniture and creates functional surfaces to which magnets are attached. Used in offices, public and creative spaces, children's rooms and educational institutions. On top of a layer of magnetic paint, you can apply finishing paint of the desired color or wallpaper, while the surface does not lose its magnetic properties.

Board vs Paint

At the beginning of testing, we decided to figure out what was more profitable and functional - a magnetic coating, a magnetic or cork board. I didn’t have to think long: paint, paint and paint again. The paint allows you to choose the area of ​​the magnetic surface, its shape and even color. Of course, it’s faster to buy a board, but that’s where its advantages end.

List of participants

We have selected popular and proven magnetic paints in Russia. The testing participants were: Active Wall from Magnetic Company, MagnetPaint from MagPaint, Dupli-color from Motip Dupli, Tikkurila and Rust Oleum paints from the same companies.

The geography of coatings turned out to be extremely wide: Active Wall and MagnetPaint are produced in the Netherlands, Dupli-color in Germany, Rust Oleum from the USA, Tikkurila from Finland. Initially, Russian paint was supposed to be included in the review, but it did not pass the tests: after application, yellow spots appeared on the coating, and the paint, as it turned out, was rusting.

All coatings from the review are certified, comply with safety requirements for paint and varnish products and are officially sold in Russia. We just have to figure out their pros and cons.

Comparative analysis

Let us immediately note that we compared the results of painting test samples and the characteristics declared by the manufacturers. We didn’t find any significant differences, so feel free to buy the magnetic paint you like from official dealers and don’t be afraid that your expectations won’t match reality.

Tara-jar

You may ask: “What difference does it make what container the paint is sold in? » Significant, because for a home you need a small jar, but for an office a large one is preferable. Therefore, the more packaging the paint manufacturer makes, the better.

Tikkurila is sold only in a 0.5 liter jar - this is not very convenient even for homework. Rust Oleum's 1-liter jar is already better, but having no alternative is worse than choice. Dupli-color is better suited for the office: it is sold in containers of 1 and 2.5 liters.

The leaders are MagnetPaint and Active Wall coatings, which have 0.5 l, 1 l, 2.5 l and 5 l cans. You can choose the ideal volume for both a small wall in a nursery and a huge surface in a school or office.

Everyone is equal, as if by choice

Magnetic paints are intended exclusively for interior use, are single-component and do not require special preparations before use. Just stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the metal particles.

To attract magnets through a layer of finishing paint or wallpaper, magnetic paint is applied in 2-3 layers. When painted, the tested samples gave off a slight odor that did not require additional ventilation.

To create a magnetic marker or magnetic slate board, use marker or slate paint as a finishing layer. This will create a multifunctional coating on which magnets are attached and you can write with markers or crayons.

Excellence student

According to some characteristics, MagnetPaint magnetic paint differs from all others. It is applied both with a roller and a spray gun, the rest - exclusively with a roller. And only MagnetPaint can be diluted with water if necessary. These are far from the most important indicators, so let’s just note the fact itself.

Colored shelter

MagnetPaint, Tikkurila, Active Wall and Dupli-color paints are gray, Rust Oleum is black, and it is more difficult to hide under the finishing layer. If you want a black magnetic board, choose Rust Oleum; in other cases, other colors are more practical.

Layer by layer

Each layer of magnetic paint requires a certain amount of drying time. A layer of MagnetPaint and Active Wall paints dries for 4 hours, the third layer is left for 24 hours. With Dupli-color, the layer dries for 4 hours, the last layer is left for 6 hours. With Rust Oleum, each coat takes 30 minutes to dry and the topcoat is applied 4 hours after the third coat. With Tikkurila paint, each layer dries within 24 hours.

Total time required for drying when painting in 3 layers: Rust Oleum - 5 hours, Dupli-color - 14 hours, MagnetPaint and Active Wall - 32 hours, Tikkurila - 72 hours.

Rust Oleum is the sole leader, Dupli-color is also quite good. Tikkurila is an outsider.

Coverage area

The leaders in coverage area are Active Wall, MagnetPaint and Dupli-color. If you follow the standard instructions and paint the surface in 3 layers, one liter of these paints will be enough for 2 m². Rust Oleum and Tikkurila results - 1 liter per 1.5 m².

Name the price

One of the most important indicators is the price per square meter of coverage. MagnetPaint is in the lead - 1220 rub./m². In second place is Dupli-color - 1450 rub./m², followed by Active Wall - 1625 rub./m². Tikkurila - 1900 rub./m² and Rust Oleum - 1993 rub./m² close the price table.

The difference in price between the first and last places is almost twofold: this obviously does not count for Tikkurila and Rust Oleum paints.

Summarizing

Well, we bought magnetic paints, checked the characteristics, painted them under the same conditions and compared the results.

Types of marker paints

The coating is available in two colors: transparent and white.
The transparent paint is universal, does not stand out, can be applied to any shade. The white one stands out against the background of the wall. They also distinguish:

• Slate paint is based on acrylic, graphite chips, and pigments. It resembles a school board, which is why it is called chalkboard. The coating looks original; there is no need to paint anything on it. Can act as an independent decorative element.

• Magnetic paint is a coating developed relatively recently. It contains metal chips that allow you to hold magnets on the surface.

Magnetic wall paint: how it works

Dispersion magnetic paint is a wall covering on which you can draw and write, as well as attach magnets. This is due to metal chips in the paint; it shorts the magnetic lines.

The coating is widely used: in home interiors, in many educational, office and entertainment institutions.

Varieties:

• Slate-magnetic – on such a surface you can draw with crayons and attach magnets. Available mainly in several colors: black, grey, brown, green and blue;
• Magnetic marker - you can make notes, drawings with markers, the ability to attach magnets. This surface is easy to use and does not require careful maintenance.

Marker products are an excellent choice for finishing some parts of a children's room, kitchen or office. A durable, universal coating with proper care will reliably protect the surface and last a long time.

What you need to know to draw on walls with a marker

The recommended storage period for a recording or drawing on the wall is 7 days.
The board may absorb the marker over time, making it difficult to remove. When using a marker, cover it with a cap, otherwise it will dry out and become unusable. You cannot refill them like old markers.

Once every two months, it is advisable to apply a special cleaning spray. It will further clean and protect the coating.

Marker coating for walls

Marker paint for walls is one of the paint and varnish coatings, the basis for which is polyurethane, acrylic or epoxy resin.
The main distinguishing feature is the ability, after complete hardening, to acquire the properties of an even, smooth marker board. A surface with marker paint applied to it acquires increased strength and resistance to mechanical damage, but its peculiarity is that you can draw on it without fear of leaving marks. Any images can be easily wiped off the surface with a damp cloth.

Beautiful and comfortable

Marker coating has won consumer recognition literally from the first days of its existence. It was appreciated not only by parents, whose children love to draw on all surfaces, not excluding the wall in the nursery or hallway, in the kitchen or even in the living room.

Walls covered with marker paint can be seen in the offices of large companies, executive offices, medical institutions, and even police departments.

The flat and smooth wall surface created with its help can be used as a screen for showing films or slides. A schematic image is applied to walls painted with marker paint, which can be removed or corrected at any time.

To remove a drawing from a wall on which a marker coating has been applied, you will need a damp cloth or a soft sponge, but you can use them only during the first day after using the marker. After a day, you will need a special remover to remove the pattern.

Marker paint - the composition formed after drying is thin, but very durable, and does not absorb dyes. The marker coating is not much different in appearance from the well-known acrylic coating.

Manufacturers have mastered the production of compositions of different colors, but black and white are in high demand. Other colors are also quite popular, but if white walls are acceptable in any room, then green or blue are most often in demand when carrying out renovation work in rooms where there are children.

The marker coating does not pose any danger to the health of others, dust does not accumulate on it, and it is easy to clean. These properties can be called its main advantages.

Walls covered with black marker paint are found in many office spaces. You can draw on them with any markers, except permanent ones.

What is marker paint?

Marker paint is paint for walls or other surfaces (furniture, metal), which forms a layer after drying. It is similar in its properties to marker boards, which can take up any space you need. This type of finishing is perfect for children's rooms and offices of creative companies.

By purchasing marker paint for walls, you can decorate any space in an original way, turn a wall or any other surface into a magnetic or marker board.

Important! In appearance, a wall on which marker paint has been applied is not much different from one painted with acrylic paint.

A whole wall for artistic creativity in a children's room

This paint is absolutely safe from an environmental point of view, it can even be used in children's rooms and bedrooms. Various manufacturers produce marker paints in familiar colors - white and black or colored ones. There are clear coat options that can be applied over any color paint. At the same time, it will acquire the same characteristics as a marker-magnetic board.

Where do you need a wall with marker coating?

As mentioned earlier, marker paint is very popular when decorating:

• conference rooms;
• meeting rooms;
• classrooms;
• kindergartens;
• school classes.

Such a wall successfully replaces the usual blackboard for writing and drawing with chalk. With its help, the space for completing school assignments or conducting art lessons is significantly increased.

Children in kindergartens are especially pleased with such walls. On such a wall there is enough space for collective creativity, regardless of the height and age of the children.

In an office setting, the convenience of a wall covered with marker paint is that employees do not need to constantly erase previously made drawings or drawings, making room for new schematic images.

At the same time, the clean surface is used as a screen, without requiring the use of additional devices necessary for viewing educational films or commercials.

Even in medical institutions, in patient rooms you can find walls with marker coating. They develop a plan for the upcoming operation or analyze already performed surgical interventions, show slides or other photo and video materials.

Areas of use

Paint with a magnetic board effect has found distribution in various fields.

Beautiful and very spacious children's room

Small but comfortable white hallway

Office

In an office setting, applying marker paint is a convenient solution. After all, you will not be limited by the size of the old board, no matter how big it is, it is always missing. Applying paint to the wall solves the problem of moving the board and rotating it at an inconvenient moment. Alternatively, you can use a white surface as a projector screen.

Decorating an office using such a modern solution will make the company stand out and emphasize its modernity. Considering that today marker-magnetic coatings are produced in a variety of colors, choosing the right one in style will not be difficult.

A wall painted with marker paint is not only convenient for work, but also looks very beautiful

You can apply it anywhere:

Coloring

To apply a marker coating to a wall, it is important to properly and efficiently prepare the surface for painting. The main task of the master is to prepare a perfectly flat and smooth surface.

If you can paint the walls yourself, then a qualified craftsman will help you apply several layers of plaster and finishing putty. If desired or having certain skills, all work related to leveling the surface of the walls can be done independently.

You can start painting only after the plaster and putty have completely dried. Paint does not stick to a damp wall.

Dyeing process

It is advisable to paint in two layers; you can use a roller or spray for painting. The sprayer is used only if the coloring mixture is made on a nitro base. After applying the first layer, you need to wait 12-18 hours for the surface to dry. It is better to apply the second layer the next day; it is not recommended to paint a second time if the paint applied to the wall still sticks to the palm.

It is important to paint slowly, so that the composition lays down in an even layer and there are no gaps, sagging or drips. First, it is recommended to paint hard-to-reach areas, for example, joints, areas near windows and doors, after which it is much easier to paint a larger surface of the wall.

Attention! There are marker paints that are very similar in composition to marker mixtures. They can be used to paint a variety of metals, plaster, wood, ceramics, glass and putty.
