- 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.
