Why is media preparation so important?

Inspection minutieuse des surfaces pour garantir une préparation optimale avant peinture, dans un environnement professionnel.

Surface preparation is a key step in ensuring the quality and longevity of the paint applied.

Without proper preparation, paint can peel, crack or deteriorate quickly, leading to additional renovation costs.

In addition, a well-prepared surface allows the aesthetic qualities of the paint to be enhanced, providing a smooth and uniform finish.

For optimal results, it is often recommended to call on a specialized painter, particularly in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and Dracénie regions.

Preparation of metal supports

Metal supports, whether iron, steel or aluminum, require specific treatment before applying the paint to prevent corrosion and ensure good adhesion.

Here are the key steps to prepare these surfaces.

1. Stripping and cleaning

Essential step in stripping and cleaning rusty metal to ensure good paint adhesion.

The first step is to remove rust, loose paint and dirt.

Mechanical stripping (sanding or brushing) is often used to remove rust and paint residue.

Then, degreasing with a suitable solvent removes traces of oil and grease.

Application example:

For metal shutters in Sainte-Maxime, stripping followed by an anti-rust treatment before applying the paint will guarantee optimal durability in the face of coastal climatic conditions.

2. Application of an anti-rust primer

Treatment of metal surfaces with an anti-rust primer for long-lasting protection against corrosion.

After stripping, the application of an anti-rust primer is essential to protect the metal from corrosion.

This primer also improves the adhesion of the finishing paint. It must be applied in thin, even coats for optimum protection.

Application example:

On a wrought iron fence in Ramatuelle, a quality anti-rust primer helps extend the life of the coating and maintain a neat aesthetic appearance.

Preparation of wooden supports

Wood is a living material that requires careful preparation before painting.

Preparing the wood ensures the stability of the coating and prevents warping or flaking.

1. Sanding and dusting

Preparation of the wood by sanding to remove old layers of paint and ensure a smooth surface.

Sanding is essential to smooth the surface of the wood and remove old layers of varnish or paint.

Use fine grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.

Then, dusting with a damp cloth removes sanding residue and ensures a clean surface.

Application example:

In a villa in Grimaud, sanding the interior woodwork before painting reveals the natural beauty of the wood while providing an ideal base for painting.

2. Application of fungicide and insecticide treatment

Preventive treatment of wood against fungi and insects before applying paint.

Before painting, it is advisable to treat the wood with a fungicide and insecticide product to protect it from fungi and wood-eating insects.

This is particularly recommended for exterior woodwork exposed to humidity.

Application example:

For wooden shutters in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, a preventive treatment protects the wood against insects while guaranteeing the durability of the paint applied.

Preparation of plaster and Placoplâtre supports

Plaster and Placoplâtre are very common in modern construction.

These materials require careful preparation to ensure perfect paint adhesion.

1. Repairing cracks and holes

Repairing imperfections on a plaster wall to ensure an even base before painting.

Before painting, it is essential to fill cracks and holes with a smoothing compound.

Once the plaster is dry, sand the surface to obtain a perfectly smooth wall.

Application example:

In an apartment in Draguignan, filling imperfections on Placoplâtre walls before painting guarantees a smooth and professional final result.

2. Applying an undercoat

Preparation of plaster or Placoplâtre walls with an undercoat to improve paint adhesion.

The application of an undercoat is essential on plaster and Placoplâtre supports to standardize the porosity and improve the adhesion of the paint.

The undercoat must be chosen according to the type of finishing paint (acrylic, glycero, etc.).

Application example:

For a renovation project in Les Arcs-sur-Argens, the application of a suitable undercoat makes it possible to prepare the Placoplâtre walls before painting, guaranteeing better coverage and a uniform finish.

Preparing the wallpapered walls

Wallpapered walls require special preparation before being repainted or covered with another covering.

Here are the steps to follow to prepare these surfaces.

1. Removing the wallpaper

Effective wallpaper removal to prepare walls for painting or new covering.

Before painting, it is best to remove the wallpaper to prevent the new paint from adhering poorly or bubbles from forming.

Use a steam stripper to make this step easier.

Application example:

In a house in Gassin, completely removing the wallpaper prepares the wall for an even application of paint.

2. Cleaning and sanding

After removing the wallpaper, clean off any remaining glue with a damp sponge.

If the wall is rough, a light sanding will smooth the surface before applying an undercoat.
