Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation plans in Aesch, the RegBL data shows that 745 buildings are protected by heritage status, requiring you to contact the municipality early to navigate permit regulations. Regarding scale, the building volume data covers 1570 houses with a median volume of 730 m3.

Please keep this limitation in mind when calculating the necessary scope for your heating or insulation upgrades to ensure your renovation budget and planning remain accurate for your specific home.

Surface preparation: The crucial step

Surface preparation is the pillar of long-lasting quality work. Indeed, filling cracks and sanding often take up half of the total project time. Before applying the first coat of paint, it is imperative to ensure that walls are clean, dry, and smooth.

This phase prevents imperfections from becoming visible after the paint dries. Do not neglect this step, as a well-prepared base ensures better paint adhesion and an impeccable aesthetic finish that will stand the test of time.

Precautions in older buildings

If you live in an older house in Aesch, extra vigilance is required. Some old paint layers may contain lead, a substance dangerous to health when inhaled as dust.

It is highly recommended to have your old paint tested by a professional before starting any sanding. If lead is confirmed, specific protective measures must be implemented to ensure your safety.

The health of the occupants must always take priority over the speed of your renovation work.

Optimizing project costs

To reduce expenses during painting work, smart planning is your best asset. It is strongly recommended to paint ceilings and walls at the same time.

This approach significantly limits the costs associated with protecting floors and furniture, as well as the set-up costs for ladders or scaffolding.

By grouping your needs into a single intervention, you maximize the efficiency of the tradespeople and decrease fixed costs, resulting in substantial savings on your total budget.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to paint my interior?

Generally speaking, interior painting work does not require any official authorization. These are routine renovation and maintenance tasks that do not alter the building's structure. However, if you are a tenant, it is imperative to obtain written consent from your property management or landlord before starting any work.

Which paints should I choose for a child's room?

Prioritize paints with low solvent content, eco-labels, or low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These products improve indoor air quality. Also, ensure the paint is washable, which will greatly facilitate daily cleaning and long-term maintenance.

How many coats of paint are generally needed?

For an optimal result, two coats are generally necessary. The first coat serves as a primer to ensure uniformity, while the second provides the final shade and a perfect finish. If you are changing colors significantly, an additional coat may be needed for better opacity.

Can you paint directly over old wallpaper?

It is not recommended to paint over old wallpaper, as the moisture in the paint can cause the wallpaper to peel. It is better to remove the existing wallpaper, properly prepare the surface by filling as needed, and then apply a suitable primer before the final paint.
