How Long Does an Italian Paint Application Take?

In Erdağ Yapı applications a single wall usually takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the technique. The time is decided not by putting the paint on but by surface preparation and drying between coats, which is why the job cannot be rushed.

What does the time depend on?

• Condition of the wall: cracks, poor plaster and stripping old wallpaper lengthen the preparation.
• Technique: two to four coats are applied; burnished and multi-coat techniques take longer.
• Drying: one coat must dry before the next; in cold, damp weather this takes longer.
• Area and height: high ceilings and stairwells need scaffolding.

The stages of the job

1. Survey and sample approval
2. Protection, filling, sanding and priming
3. Decorative coats
4. Protective final coat

Can you stay at home during the work?

Yes. Furniture is covered and the work is usually limited to one wall; only the sanding stage makes dust.

When can the wall be used?

The surface is soon dry to the touch, but lime-based finishes harden over weeks as they react with the air. For the first weeks do not wipe the wall or lean furniture against it. For a survey in Bahçeşehir, Beylikdüzü and Başakşehir, contact us.
