One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from owners who haven't painted their home for eight or ten years. They've realised that the walls are no longer white, but an indefinable greyish-yellow. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and airborne oil are present. Marks from furniture, splashes from time passing, and small knocks on corners accumulate. Matt emulsion paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (corridors, stairs, hallways) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin emulsion, which has a very slight sheen but allows you to clean stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

For doors, frames, skirting boards and any interior carpentry, use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most today: it dries quickly, has no solvent smell, is washable, and durable. It is applied with a spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces as it leaves marks. For wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms) there are specific anti-humidity and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicidal product if the wall already had traces of mould. The second critical step is the moisture barrier. On ground floors or over damp screeds, a polyethylene sheet must be laid before the acoustic blanket. Without a barrier, moisture rises, swells the flooring underneath, and after 6-12 months, undulations appear that can no longer be removed.

10-15 years official manufacturer warranty on standard AC4 laminate flooring. 25 years on premium ranges. Plus our 30-day coverage on installation. The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. AC4 laminate flooring, which is what we sell most today, combines excellent value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high abrasion durability), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 classification (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and resists 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years maintaining a good appearance. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be re-sanded and varnished if damaged. Flooring with official manufacturer warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage.

The price for furniture restoration in El Prat de Llobregat typically ranges between €95 and €1240. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting work. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100 per cent solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives a unique character to the room because each board has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished multiple times throughout its life. This was commonly installed in old high-end flats and is what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
