Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Wohlen, RegBL data shows that out of 3190 registered buildings, 693 are under heritage protection, necessitating early consultation with the municipality regarding permits. Regarding building volume, data coverage is partial, with only 29 buildings measured according to the SIA 416 standard, showing a median of 920 m3.

We recommend using these official figures as a foundation while acknowledging the specific limitations in current data coverage.

Surface preparation: The crucial step

The success of a painting project in Wohlen depends primarily on surface preparation. Filling cracks and carefully sanding walls often account for half of the total working time.

A clean, smooth, and dry surface guarantees optimal paint adhesion and prevents premature flaking. Never neglect these preparatory tasks, as they determine the final visual quality.

If you have doubts about the state of your walls, it is advisable to call on a local professional for an accurate assessment of your surfaces.

Precautions for older buildings

If your home in Wohlen is located in an older building, special vigilance is required. In period constructions, old layers of paint may potentially contain lead, which is harmful to health if dust is inhaled during sanding.

It is highly recommended to have your old coatings analyzed before undertaking any sanding work.

Such a precaution ensures the safety of your home and allows for the adoption of adapted removal techniques if necessary, thus protecting yourself and other occupants during your renovation.

Optimizing site costs

To keep your budget under control during painting work, smart planning is your best ally. An effective tip is to paint ceilings and walls in a single session.

This approach significantly reduces costs related to protecting floors and furniture, as well as set-up costs for equipment like scaffolding or ladders.

By grouping tasks, you optimize the artisans' working time, which translates into a more competitive overall invoice for your residential project in Wohlen.
