Internal Decoration A considerable amount of time is spent in the preparation of walls and ceilings, when the correct prep work is completed the paint can be applied. It’s not just a case of “slap it on or anyone can do it” as many people think. It takes hard work, training and many years of experience to get a good quality finish. There is not much call for paperhanging here in Cyprus due to the high humidity. But trends are changing. Even so, our company is equipped and trained for this task.Our doors and windows in Cyprus take quite a battering from the sun, wind and rain. The type of material that they are made out of is the key to their life expectancy. UPVC and powder-coated aluminium frames will tend to last longer and usually do not need any maintenance. However timber will need the most maintenance, a coat of stain or external gloss every year is enough to protect them, as long as the timber is properly prepared and dry. Otherwise the moisture with in the wood will expand in the heat and cause peeling or blistering.Stain & GlossWe always prepare the wood for decorating, by applying a good knotting solution to stabilize the sap within the wood, priming, undercoat and then sanding down between each layer's. This will ensure a smooth finish. Finally a high quality gloss is applied, this way we end up with a stunning finish.
