We do tiling in El Guinardó. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and begin. The minimum recommended height for a suspended ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference gains interior volume when recessed spotlights with a box are installed to prevent heat transfer or when air ducts need to be integrated. For high ceilings in old chalets where the height is excessive, we can propose a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

How we work

The construction process is quite clean. We first assemble the galvanised steel frame, screwed to the floor and ceiling. Electrical wires and any water pipes are run through, and the interior is filled with rock wool or glass wool for significant sound insulation. Plasterboard sheets are screwed to both sides. Joints are taped with fibre tape and jointing compound, sanded between coats to achieve a perfectly smooth surface ready for painting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply within 10 minutes during business hours. The third step is the final paint application. 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 even coverage without brush marks.

When to call for tiling in El Guinardó

Properties on the frontline of the sea have unique issues requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall; combined with humidity, it migrates inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path, causing the new paint to peel within months. The solution involves washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-based paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Filtration dampness 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 necessary. Painting over it without addressing the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by room so you can continue using unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work.

Materials and brands

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior-specific with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap exterior paint for large surfaces. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. It's essential to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small, but the difference in years of durability offers significant savings. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace paint is yellowing, peeling, or showing whitish stains? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's caused by the harsh exposure conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: intense and constant sun (over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation), sea salt that deposits on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that erode layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself in pigments. Cheap white paint resistant to UV might last three summers under these conditions, whereas specific coastal climate paint with an enhanced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.
