Office interior designing and decoration Raised Access Floors for convenience
Where is a Raised Access Floor Used?
Raised access floors in interior designing and decoration have become a common feature today in many organizations where there is need for raised levels on account of their activities. Examples include: financial and insurance offices, call centers, data processing centers, large computer room setups where voluminous processing of electronic data is done, e.g. financial information, customer information, and telecom exchanges. Raised flooring is also installed in schools, universities, libraries and major archive areas. Retail facilities like department stores have started increasingly using raised floors coated with special finishes.
Benefits of Using Raised Access Floors
Raised access floors have the following benefits: You can easily access the service points of power, telecom, and data services. This is important for modern buildings having large volume of these services. The underfloor space serves as a large passage for HVAC systems. When there is need for frequent changeover of offices to new occupants the layout needs a churn and that would mean redirection of services. Raised access floors provide easy access to the services necessary for maintenance, upgrading, rerouting etc.
Paint brand and the use in surfaces guidance by the interior designers -How to prepare the wall for painting?
The glaze doesn’t dry as quickly as ordinary oil-based paints, giving you more time to move the paint around. Mixing top coats enables you to create your own tones and shades of color – the color may come from household paint or you can add extra pigment. Add powder color or artist’s acrylic paints to water-based paints, and artist’s oil colors to oil-based paints. Always experiment with the paint to try out the effect and test it before you start.
The brand of paint you use, the porosity of the surface, even the weather can affect the result, so there are no hard and fast rules for the proportion of paint. You will need special tools for some of the effects shown on s 62-65. For example, natural sea sponges are essential for applying a sponged finish, and you can experiment with rag, paper or even plastic bags for a ragged or rag-rolled effect.
For the trompe l’oeil effects which imitate natural materials such as marble or tortoise- shell, you will need a selection of soft artist’s brushes, and there are special comb-like graining tools for creating wood effects. Have a selection of old jam jars and paint kettles or clean tins to mix the various stages. Always mix sufficient glaze to cover the whole of the area to be painted. Described below are some of the most frequently used techniques for decorative pain t effects.
MIXING A GLAZE
Suggested proportions for a mixed glaze are: 1-2 parts eggshell paint, tinted with artist’s oil 60 colors if necessary, mixed with 5 parts oil- based glaze, thinned with 3-4 parts white spirit or turpentine. First prepare a tint by blending artist’s oil color into white or colored oil-based eggshell paint. If you need several batches of glaze in graduated tones, mix all the tints at the same time to ensure evenly graded colors. Add the transparent, oil-based glaze, stirring in just a little to start with, then adding more. A large metal spoon is useful for ladling out the glaze. You will need at least twice as much glaze as paint. Finally thin the paint with white spirit, adding it gradually and testing the consistency until you get a creamy texture.
SPONGING
This effect is quick and easy to create using ordinary emulsion paint. Choose closely related colors for a subtle effect, or contrasting colors for a more mottled look. Tryout several combinations by mixing small quantities of color to start with, until you are happy with the balance of colors. Prepare the wall in the usual way ( 209) and apply a base coat of matt or silk-finish emulsion with a brush, roller or pad. Choose a pale color for the base coat, and do not be too meticulous in getting an even finish. Slightly uneven bases will not Shawnee the final finish is applied. Leave the wall to dry completely.
Take the first of your chosen top coat colors and thin with a little water. A paint roller tray makes an ideal paint kettle for mixing and holding the paint while you work. Dip the flattest side of a damp, natural sponge in the paint and dab it on the ribbed part of the paint tray to remove excess paint. Then dab the sponge lightly over a test surface (lining paper is ideal for this). This takes any heavy drops of paint off the sponge and gives you a chance to test the amount of pressure you need to apply.
Apply the paint to the wall, dabbing it on with the sponge until the effect starts to fade. Use a slightly rolling motion each time you dab on the paint and twist your hand to a different angle each time you lift the sponge. This gives an all-over effect without any obvious pattern from the shape of the sponge. Don’t twist the sponge while it is in contact with the surface of the wall, as this will give smears and swirls. Cover the whole wall with the first color, and then repeat the process with a second color.
On a reasonably large wall, you will find that the first color is dry by the time you get back to the starting point. If required, apply further coats, either of the first color or of other colors, until the wall is evenly covered.
Effects in painting interiors- step by step tips and guidance by the designers
COLOR WASHING
Paint a base coat of matt or silk emulsion. Allow to dry. Using the same color, or a slightly different tone, mix a wash of emulsion and water in equal parts. Then gradually increase the water to make a thin color which will not fall in heavy droplets down the wall but which allows the base color to show through when it is applied to the wall. Test the wash, and then apply it using a wide brush, with long, sweeping strokes. Further coats can be applied in toning colors. For a more durable finish, try using a subtly tinted, thinned glaze as a wash over the surface.
RAGGING
Apply a base coat of oil-based eggshell in a medium to pale tone. Leave until completely dry. Prepare a large batch of tinted and thinned glaze in a darker color. Have several white lint-free cloths ready to work with. Cut them from the same piece of fabric, making each one about 40cm(15 in) square so they are easy to handle. Ragging may also be worked in emulsion using the same base coat and top coat as for sponging.
Scrunch up a piece of cloth. Dip the cloth in the paint and remove excess paint by padding it on a piece of paper or the ribbed part of a roller tray if you are using that as a paint kettle. Then dab the rag over the surface of the wall, applying even pressure and recharging the rag when necessary. If the rag becomes clogged with paint, both refold and use a cleaner part of the rag, or use a clean rag. You can experiment with substitutes for the rag, such as screwed up lining paper or even a plastic bag. Make sure that you can achieve the same effect all over the surface: if the paper becomes clogged with paint, you must have more of the same quality to continue over the surface.
DISTRESSED EFFECT
Apply a base coat of matt, gloss or eggshell oil- based paint and allows drying. Mix a batch of glaze in a deeper tone, or in a similar or contrasting shade. Prepare some squares of lint-free rag and moisten the first with white spirit. Don’t soak all the rage at once – the white spirit evaporates quickly, and they are a fire risk. Apply the glaze quickly, ensuring you work it into the recesses of the surface you are painting.
Cover an area a couple of meters (yards) square or a length of skirting or architrave a couple of meters (yards) long. Wipe the glaze off the raised part of the surface with the moistened cloth, leave to dry. For a graded effect, repeat the process, using a darker batch of glaze and wiping off slightly more to reveal the first color beneath.
