Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Suhr, understanding the building register data is vital. With 311 out of 1806 buildings under heritage protection, contacting the municipality early regarding permits is essential. The median house volume is 771 m3; however, this figure is based on only 8 buildings measured by the SIA 416 standard out of 1272 houses, indicating a very partial data coverage. Consequently, careful planning remains necessary to accurately determine the scope of heating or insulation work required for your specific property, as official statistics provide limited guidance regarding the structural realities of homes in this municipality.

The crucial importance of preparation

The success of an interior painting project relies 50% on surface preparation. Before applying the first coat, it is essential to fill cracks and sand surfaces. This step guarantees optimal paint adhesion and a smooth finish.

Do not neglect cleaning the walls to remove dust and grease spots. By dedicating the necessary time to this phase, you will avoid visible imperfections after drying.

A perfectly prepared surface is the secret of professionals for an impeccable, long-lasting result that will permanently transform the atmosphere of your interior in Suhr.

Safety and management of old paints

If your home in Suhr is located in an older building, it is crucial to be vigilant during renovation work. Old paints, especially those applied decades ago, may contain lead, a toxic substance.

Before starting any sanding or scraping, it is highly recommended to have a professional analysis performed to detect the presence of heavy metals. This precaution protects your health and that of your loved ones from inhaling harmful dust.

In case of a positive result, specific protective measures must be implemented to remove these coatings safely, in accordance with health recommendations in force in the canton of Aargau.

Optimizing site costs

Smart organization helps to significantly reduce your renovation budget. It is highly recommended to plan the painting of ceilings and walls simultaneously.

By carrying out these two tasks during the same intervention, you considerably reduce costs related to floor protection, joinery, and site equipment setup. This approach not only saves on labor costs but also ensures perfect aesthetic unity in your rooms.

To estimate the overall budget for your project precisely, use our RenoIndex tool to obtain a clear and transparent price range for your future painting works.
