Delete blanket: This is how it gets streak-free

Delete blanket: You need it for that

  • paint Roller
  • Scraper / paint tray
  • Emulsion paint (wall paints or special ceiling colors)
  • brush
  • ladder
  • masking tape
  • Painting foil / plastic tarpaulin (if furniture is in the room)

Delete ceiling: the right preparation

  • Clear the ceiling and, if possible, remove the furniture from the room. Alternatively you can push them into the middle of the room and cover them with foil. The floor should be taped with a plastic tarpaulin and windows and doors with foil and painter's crepe.
  • For a clean edge, masking tape should be glued between the wall and ceiling. Only when the paint is dry, the masking tape should finally be removed.
  • For new buildings, of course, you have to plaster the floor first and prime. However, if we just want to paint over the ceiling in our four walls, we should make sure that it is dust and grease free and dowel holes are closed with an acrylic-based putty.
  • To avoid additional shadows, it is advisable to paint the blanket during the day.
  • Small tip: Ceiling colors are slightly different from wall colors, as they are slightly thicker. So we can handle several paintings and the paint does not drip.

Delete ceiling: step by step

Your ceilings do not have to be painted by the painter. With the right tips it works like the pro.



  1. So that the blanket becomes streak free, we should always from the light source start with the swipe. This means we start at the window and work our way to the wall opposite.
  2. First, the corners should be painted. For this purpose, small paint rollers or brushes are suitable.
  3. For the ceiling we take a big paint roller. Professionals like to let go of the telescopic rod and just go with a ladder closer to the ceiling. Large ceilings should be divided into large squares in your head.
  4. Now the imaginary squares of your ceiling are overlapping painted? first along the path to light and then right across
  5. For a uniform application of the wall paint should be painted several times with pressure over the surface and, above all, the color must wet in wet be applied so that a uniform color layer succeeds. So: never empty the paint roller.
  6. To paint the ceiling, we should also keep all windows closed, so that the paint can dry evenly and we can look forward to streak-free ceilings.
