We first assemble the galvanised steel profile metal structure, screwed to the floor and ceiling. Electrical cables and water pipes (if any) are routed, and the interior is filled with rock wool or glass wool blankets, which provide significant acoustic insulation. Plasterboard panels are then screwed onto both faces. Joints are taped with fibre tape and jointing compound, sanded between layers until a completely smooth surface, ready for painting, is achieved.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint an entire home?
A 80-100 m² home painted by a 2-person team takes 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repairing, old textured paint (gotelé) removed, or damp treated beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor using our own elevated platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies possessing vertical work authorisations.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over damp without treating it never works; it always returns.
Do you carry out small comprehensive renovations?
Yes, we complete bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m²: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitary ware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with foam board or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. Heavy items are moved away from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A pre-visit to measure and check the wall condition. A detailed quote, broken down by items, within 24-48 hours.
