Our Door and Window Enamelling Process

  1. 1

    Inspection and Quote (30-60 min)

    We assess the condition of your doors and windows, measure the surfaces, and discuss your colour and finish preferences. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.

  2. 2

    Surface Preparation (2-4 hours)

    We cover floors and furniture with protective sheeting. We lightly sand to remove gloss, dirt, and old paint remnants, ensuring optimal adhesion. We clean thoroughly to remove any dust residue.

  3. 3

    Enamel Application (4-8 hours per coat)

    We apply one or two coats of primer if necessary, followed by two coats of high-quality enamel, either solvent-based or water-based, depending on the material and your preference. We respect drying times between coats for a smooth, uniform finish.

  4. 4

    Finishing and Cleaning (1-2 hours)

    Once the enamel is dry, we remove protective coverings, perform a thorough clean-up of the work area, and review the final result with you to ensure your complete satisfaction.

When to Call a Painter for Door and Window Enamelling

Notice flaking or bubbling paint on existing surfaces, indicating that the protective layer has deteriorated and the underlying wood or metal is exposed. If you see damp patches, mould, or signs of rot where surfaces meet the exterior, it's crucial to act to prevent further damage. General wear and tear, deep scratches, or a faded colour that no longer matches your decor also justify a refresh. It's also the ideal time if you're planning to sell or rent out your property and want to increase its value and appeal. A fresh, professional enamel finish will make a significant difference.

Materials and Brands for a Durable Enamel Finish

We carefully select materials to ensure a superior finish and long-lasting protection. We use high-resistance synthetic enamels for exteriors, offering excellent coverage and weather resistance, as well as low-odour, quick-drying acrylic or water-based enamels, ideal for interiors. Among the trusted brands we employ are Bruguer, Titanlux, and Valentine, renowned for their quality and durability. For preparation, we use fine-grit sandpaper, specific wood or metal fillers for any damage, and high-elasticity joint sealants to ensure a perfect seal and prevent leaks.

Factors Influencing Enamelling Service Costs

The cost of enamelling doors and windows varies based on several key factors. The number of units to be treated, their dimensions, and the material type (wood, metal, PVC) are decisive. The current surface condition, accessibility complexity, and required preparation (sanding, filling, priming) also impact labour time. The choice of enamel type (synthetic, acrylic, gloss, satin, matte finish) and the selected brand also affect the final budget. Our aim is to provide a fair and transparent price, reflecting the quality of materials and the expertise of our professional painters in Barcelona.

Frequently asked questions

How long does door and window enamel take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the enamel type and environmental conditions (humidity and temperature). Water-based enamels typically dry to the touch in 1-2 hours and can be recoated in 4-6 hours. Solvent-based enamels take longer, drying to the touch in 6-12 hours and requiring 24 hours or more for recoating. We always respect these times to ensure a perfect and durable finish.
Is sanding necessary before enamelling doors and windows?
Yes, sanding is a fundamental step. It removes surface gloss, ingrained dirt, and imperfections, creating a slightly rough surface that allows the new enamel to adhere correctly. Proper pre-sanding guarantees a smooth, uniform, and much more durable finish, preventing future peeling.
What type of enamel is best for exterior doors?
For exterior doors, we recommend high-resistance synthetic enamels or acrylic enamels specifically formulated for outdoor use. These products offer greater durability against sun exposure, rain, and temperature changes. They provide excellent protection against corrosion and deterioration, maintaining colour and shine for longer.
Can you enamel doors and windows made of different materials?
Absolutely. We have experience in enamelling doors and windows made of wood, metal (iron, aluminium), and PVC. Each material requires specific preparation and a suitable type of primer and enamel to ensure maximum adhesion and an optimal finish. We will advise you on the best solution for each case.
Do you offer a warranty on enamelling work?
Yes, we offer a warranty on our enamelling work. This covers the labour and the correct application of materials. The finish's longevity will depend on subsequent maintenance and exposure conditions, but we guarantee that the work will be carried out with the utmost professionalism using the best available products on the market.
How is the service price calculated?
The price is calculated based on several factors: the number of doors and windows, their dimensions, the material, the current surface condition (preparation requirements), and the chosen enamel type. We will provide a detailed quote after an initial, no-obligation visit and assessment to ensure maximum transparency.
