For high-traffic areas (entrances, hallways, continuously used staircases), we recommend not using floating laminate flooring because its concentrated intense use deteriorates the top layer faster than in residential areas. For these areas, porcelain stoneware or natural stone will last much longer. Solid parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100 percent natural solid wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives 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 varnished again several times throughout its life. This is what was installed in old high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.

A much-requested improvement today is to combine a motorised blind with a retractable mosquito net integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems. Changing the cord itself is a 30-45 minute operation per blind when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, removing the old cord, passing the new one through the slats and the winder. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a blind can take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's 30 minutes of work with a clean result. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the adjacent room socket), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, the cable must be routed through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when power is nearby. For all blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days.

If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight outdoors), repairing them piece by piece no longer makes economic sense. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty. Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion.

The price of furniture restoration in La Sagrera usually ranges between 95 and 1240 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. AC4 laminate floating flooring, which is our biggest seller today, combines excellent value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high durability against abrasion), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balanced bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and can withstand 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 it is visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be sanded and re-varnished if it gets damaged at some point.
