Painting work in the house

Good interior paintwork is beautiful to look at, but it also provides the necessary protection for your home. Here are some notes and considerations for any interior paintwork:

• Good vapor-tight paintwork on the inside of your home prevents water vapor from being absorbed by the wood.
• The quality of the interior painting also partly determines the lifespan of the wooden (exterior) frame or sheet material.
• Good interior painting provides protection against wear and tear (stairs).
• Good interior painting provides protection against moisture.
• Good interior painting provides protection against mold.

In principle, you can see and assess all the paintwork in the house. This includes all window frames, interior doors, any staircase paintwork, and all other paintwork such as ceilings and walls. If this paintwork is generally in good condition, no maintenance is necessary in the short or medium term. Any personal tastes and color schemes or combinations should, of course, be disregarded.

If the paintwork in the house, as mentioned above, is in averagely poor condition, maintenance is necessary immediately. We recommend a major overhaul (sanding twice and applying a topcoat twice). Any personal tastes and color schemes or combinations should, of course, be disregarded.
