The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetic. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most today, offers a great balance of quality and price with resistance to heavy use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high resistance to scratches) and a high-density fibreboard core. A balancing layer is on the bottom. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard home use, it lasts 15-25 years maintaining a good appearance. Its drawback is that while visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and varnished again if damaged.

Motorisation requires a power supply to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the adjacent room's socket), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, a cable needs to be run via an external conduit or hidden channel. The complete motorisation job takes 2-3 hours per shutter when power is readily available. For all the shutters in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days. Changing the strap itself is a 30-45 minute job per shutter when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damage, removing the axle, taking out the old strap, threading the new one through the slats and winder. Reassembling the whole unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a shutter might take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result. A highly requested upgrade today is combining a motorised shutter with a roll-up insect screen integrated into the same box. This allows both the shutter and the screen to be operated independently, both hidden away when not in use. It's the standard solution in modern new construction. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one to accommodate both systems.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with a 5-year manufacturer's official warranty. If the shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical of shutters over 25-30 years old exposed to sun outdoors), repairing them piece by piece no longer makes economic sense. Replacing the entire shutter with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the strap. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, offering much better insulation than old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. You can also opt for factory-integrated motorisation. A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that scrape the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-laminate door with adjustable concealed hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and will last another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

The price for furniture restoration in Santa Eulàlia typically ranges from €95 to €1240. The final amount depends on the condition of the property, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each plank is 100 percent solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to buy and install, but it gives a unique character to the room as each plank has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or is damaged, it can be sanded and varnished multiple times throughout its life. This was used in high-end antique flats and is what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
