Renovations, heritage and volumes

When planning your renovation in Schlieren, the official building register provides key figures to help you estimate project requirements. Regarding building volume, the data indicates a median of 1907 m3 for properties measured according to the SIA 416 standard, which is useful for gauging the scale of heating and insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is quite limited, as only three buildings were measured out of 538 total houses. Use these figures as a starting point for your project estimations, while keeping in mind that specific on-site measurements are recommended to ensure accurate planning for your renovation goals.

Surface preparation: the crucial step

Surface preparation, including filling cracks and careful sanding, often takes half of the required working time. This step must never be overlooked, as it determines the adhesion of the new paint and the final visual appearance of your walls.

A poorly prepared surface will reveal every imperfection once the new coat is applied. Take the time to clean the areas to be painted and carefully protect furniture as well as floors to prevent accidental damage during the work.

Safety and health: caution with older buildings

If your home in Schlieren is located in an older building, it is essential to be cautious. Many paints used in the past contained lead, a harmful substance when released into the air as dust.

Before undertaking any sanding, it is highly recommended to have the old paint layers tested by a professional.

If the presence of lead is confirmed, specific protective measures must be implemented to ensure the safety of occupants and workers throughout the renovation phase.

Optimizing renovation costs

To control your budget during painting work, smart planning is essential. Painting your ceilings and walls simultaneously is an excellent strategy to reduce expenses.

By grouping these tasks, you save significantly on floor protection, taping off electrical outlets, and the set-up time for tools and ladders. Furthermore, this ensures better aesthetic coherence in your rooms.

Do not hesitate to check the RenoIndex simulator to get a reliable estimate of the costs for your work in Schlieren.

Choosing the right products for a durable finish

The choice of paint plays a determining role in the durability of your renovation. Today, there is a vast range of products adapted to each use, whether for high-traffic areas like hallways or wet rooms like bathrooms.

Prioritize professional-quality paints that offer better opacity and increased resistance to scrubbing. Also, remember to check product compatibility if you are painting over an existing surface.

Frequently asked questions

How can I get a price estimate for my work?

Use our free RenoIndex calculator. It allows you to quickly get a price range adapted to local market standards for your painting work in Schlieren, helping you plan your budget with peace of mind.

Is it necessary to test old paints?

Yes, in older buildings, it is recommended to test for the presence of lead before any sanding. This prevents the release of toxic dust into the air, protecting your health and that of other occupants during the work.

Should walls and ceilings be painted separately?

No, it is more economical to paint them simultaneously. This significantly reduces the time needed for floor protection and site set-up, while ensuring a more homogeneous finish throughout the room.
