Woodwork Painting Renovation – How Peintastique Works
Wood elements such as baseboards, moldings, doors, or shutters bring charm and character to any interior. But over time, they can become dull, chipped, or faded. Fortunately, with the right preparation, a fresh coat of paint can restore their former glory. Here’s how Peintastique handles the renovation of your woodwork.
1. Assessing the Condition of the Woodwork
Before starting any wood painting renovation, we carefully examine the condition of your woodwork.
-
Peeling or blistered paint? It must be stripped off.
-
Damaged or cracked wood? We fill and sand it.
-
Presence of mold or moisture? It must be treated before painting to ensure durability.
2. Preparing the Wood Before Painting
The success of a wood painting job lies in meticulous preparation.
a. Cleaning
We first dust off the surface, then wash it thoroughly with warm water and a degreasing detergent (like Saint-Marc cleaner) to remove any residue or grease.
b. Paint Stripping (if needed)
If the existing paint is in poor condition, we remove it using a chemical stripper or an electric sander.
c. Sanding
We sand all surfaces with appropriate grit sandpaper to smooth the wood and ensure proper adhesion of the new paint.
d. Filling Imperfections
We fill any cracks, holes, or surface irregularities with wood filler for a smooth, even finish.
3. Applying a Primer
We apply a special wood primer, chosen according to the type of surface (bare wood, varnished, or previously painted). This step is crucial for:
-
Ensuring strong adhesion of the top coat,
-
Creating a uniform base,
-
Increasing the durability of the finish.
4. Painting the Woodwork
We select the appropriate type of paint depending on the wood and the desired finish:
-
Acrylic (water-based) – low odor, fast drying.
-
Glycero (solvent-based) – durable and washable.
-
Alkyd – a hybrid combining the best of both water- and oil-based paints.
