- How long does it take to dry before painting?
- Generally, after applying the smoothing compound and performing fine sanding, it is necessary to wait between 24 and 48 hours. This time depends directly on the ambient humidity and the temperature of the room. It is essential that the product is fully cured to prevent trapped moisture from causing bubbles or peeling in the subsequent paint layer. Our technicians always verify the exact drying point using moisture meters before proceeding with the final painting.
- Is it possible to smooth walls with plastic texture?
- Yes, it is entirely possible, although it requires a different technique than traditional lime-based textures. Plastic-based texture is more resistant and does not dissolve with water, so we use special bonding primers to ensure the filler adheres perfectly to the surface. This process is slightly more laborious, but it guarantees a durable result and a totally smooth surface, completely eliminating the old texture without the need to chip or mechanically remove it.
- Do you protect furniture and floors during the process?
- The cleanliness and protection of your home are our absolute priority. Before starting any smoothing work, we completely cover floors with heavy-duty protective paper and use masking plastic on furniture and baseboards. Additionally, our sanders are connected to high-efficiency industrial vacuum systems, which drastically reduce the amount of airborne dust. At the end of the day, we perform a basic cleaning of the area so you can continue using the space comfortably.
- Does wall smoothing improve thermal insulation?
- Although wall smoothing is not a thermal insulation system per se, the use of high-quality fillers can help seal small fissures and porosities that, in some cases, reduce drafts through the walls. If your main goal is to improve insulation, we can recommend the application of specific technical mortars that do offer insulating properties, although conventional smoothing focuses primarily on aesthetics and surface preparation for the final finish.
- What guarantee do you offer for the work performed?
- We offer a full guarantee on our smoothing works, covering any application defects, such as premature cracking or material detachment, during the months following delivery. Our responsibility includes the review and, if necessary, repair at no additional cost if the problem derives from an execution process error. We work under strict quality protocols and are covered by civil liability insurance for your peace of mind and safety against any unforeseen events during the work.
- Do you work on weekends in Montcada i Reixac?
- We understand that it is often difficult to coordinate renovation work with working hours. Therefore, we offer flexibility to perform smoothing work during weekends or in intensive shifts, provided that municipal noise regulations allow it. We recommend booking in advance to ensure the availability of our team on the days that suit you best. Our goal is to adapt to your needs so that your home renovation is as non-intrusive as possible.
