How we work
The process is laborious. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured finish and let it partially dry. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and carefully vacuum at the end. A standard 15 m² room, once smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their home for eight or ten years. They've noticed that the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheap white paints yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near kitchens where steam and airborne oil reach. Furniture marks, time-worn splashes, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matt plastic paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without glare, hides imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, entrance halls) and children's rooms where walls get dirty more easily, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows stains to be cleaned with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.
