🎨 Hallway & Landing Transformation: Excellence is in the Prep 🎨
A professional finish isn’t just about the final coat of paint; it's about the hours of unseen work that guarantee durability and perfection. This recent project was a perfect example. We moved this space from a yellowing oil-based finish to a high-performance, lasting water-based system, but the real victory was in the prep.
The Full Scope of the Restoration:
1. Ceiling Rescue: Those "hairline cracks" needed a permanent fix, not just a cover-up. We raked out the cracks, filled them with Toupret Flexible Filler, scrim-taped for structural integrity, and applied three coats of filler for a perfectly smooth, invisible repair.
2. Precision Carpentry: The existing attic door needed a professional touch. We custom-fitted the surrounding frame with precise measurements, utilizing Se-Adhesion Glue and screws. Nail holes were filled and sanded, followed by priming, undercoating, and two tough top coats of Johnstone's AquaGuard.
3. Woodwork Overhaul: Every staircase spindle, door frame, and skirting board underwent a comprehensive three-coat waterbased system. Moving from old oil-based to water-based not only avoids harsh fumes but means that white stays bright and true without yellowing over time.
The Spec Sheet:
Ceilings: Two coats of Fleetwood Extra Plus Vinyl Matt (flawless, fresh finish).
Walls: Two coats of Crown Clean Extreme (tough, durable, and wipeable) in Fallow & Ball Shaded white no.201
Woodwork (3 Coat System): Prime & Fleetwood Advanced Primer/Undercoat, finished with two top coats of Johnstone’s AquaGuard.
When quality is the priority, the preparation makes all the difference.
