The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors. Budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most today, combines very good value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high resistance to scuffing), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing layer underneath. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intensive domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years looking good. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and re-varnished if damaged.

Replacing the cord 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 damaging it, removing the axle, taking out the old cord, threading the new one through the slats and the winder. Reassembling the whole unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a shutter can 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. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the room's adjacent socket), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, a cable needs to be run via an external conduit or a concealed channel. The complete motorisation operation 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. A highly requested upgrade today is combining a motorised shutter with a roller insect screen integrated into the same box. This allows both the shutter and the insect screen to be operated independently, both hidden when not in use. It's the standard solution in modern new construction. For renovations of existing homes, 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 official manufacturer's warranty. If the shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for shutters over 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), repairing them piece by piece ceases to make economic sense. Replacing the entire shutter with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the cord. In return, you get another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, making them much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can 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 lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

The price for furniture restoration in Premià de Mar usually ranges between €95 and €1,240. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labor 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 because each plank has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished several times throughout its life. This is what was used in old high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
