Interior painting in Purmerend

Walls that can take a knock

In a family home the walls have a hard time. A hallway with bags and bikes going past every day, a children's room with fingerprints or a kitchen with splashes: there you want a paint you can wipe without leaving shiny patches. A scrubbable latex from a premium brand holds up far longer than a cheap wall paint from the DIY store. Where the difference lies is explained under which wall paint to choose.

The stairwell and the landing

Many terraced houses in the Weidevenne and the Purmer have a stairwell that runs over two floors. That is the hardest part of the house to paint yourself: a household stepladder is too short and a ladder on the stairs is not safe. A professional painter works there with a stair scaffold, so the whole wall is painted in one go without visible joins. On a tall wall like that, you would otherwise see every streak in the light from the roof window.

The landing itself needs attention too. With five or six doors on a few square metres, the lacquer work there is often more work than the walls.

Planning smartly while the family is at home

• Working room by room, so the rest of the house stays usable
• Scheduling bedrooms so you can sleep in them again that same evening
• Fast-drying latex, so the furniture can go back sooner
• Keeping children and pets out of the room being worked on
