Painter in Krommenie: Zaan-style and terraced homes

Krommenie lies in the north of the Zaan region, right next to Wormerveer. The village has long been known for its linoleum industry and has a historic centre with Zaan-style wooden houses. Around it lie residential areas from the twentieth century and newer neighbourhoods towards the open countryside. If you live here, you are often dealing with very different kinds of woodwork, sometimes in the same street.

Old centre and residential areas

In the old centre of Krommenie, wooden houses and small village buildings line narrow streets and the water. These homes have the characteristic Zaan-style weatherboarding and plenty of wooden details, from gutter boards to door posts. Further from the centre you will find streets with brick terraced and semi-detached houses, with timber window frames and dormers.

Krommenie lies on the edge of the open countryside, where the wind sweeps freely across the meadows. Window frames and woodwork on the north and west sides therefore take quite a battering, and woodwork that is already a little older soon shows it. With old Zaan-style houses, there is also the fact that the timber itself has lasted a very long time and needs to be treated with care.

What Oranje Kwast does in Krommenie

• Maintenance and repair of Zaan-style wooden boards on the outside wall and mouldings
• Painting window frames rather than replacing them where possible
• Interior painting in old and new homes
• Commercial painting for shops and business premises

Our painter works with paint from Sigma, Sikkens or Wijzonol and chooses the right product for each surface. If you are torn between brands, Sikkens or Sigma will help you decide. For shopkeepers in the village, work can also be done at the weekend by arrangement, so the shop can simply stay open.
