We first erect the galvanised steel profile metal frame, screwed to the floor and ceiling. Electrical cables and any water pipes are run through, and the interior is filled with rock wool or glass wool, providing significant sound insulation. Plasterboards are screwed to both sides. The joints are taped with fibre tape and jointing compound, sanded between coats until a completely smooth surface is achieved, ready for painting.

The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference gains interior volume when recessed spotlights require a box to prevent heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old houses where the height is excessive, we can consider a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting. Properties on the seafront have specific issues requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When repainted, the salts continue their migration, causing the new paint to peel within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and applying siloxane-based paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Seepage damp requires additional treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, a chemical barrier injection is needed. Painting over it without addressing the cause is always a waste of money.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Specific exterior paints with UV filter. Official manufacturer's warranty 8-10 years. The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use high-quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowed, peeling, or stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: intense, constant sun (over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation), marine saltpetre depositing on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself in the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specialised paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.

The price for tiling in El Carmel typically ranges between €140 and €3550. The final cost depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large surfaces. It looks fine the first year but visibly deteriorates by the second. You need to invest in specialised exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The difference in cost per litre between economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability provides a significant return.
