Interior painting
in Gembloux
On the building stock of Gembloux — old stone and brick buildings, square farmsteads, recent estates on the outskirts — interior painting calls for an adapted method. Proper preparation, clean paintwork, the job left tidy: walls, ceilings, woodwork and stairwells.
The context in Gembloux
Why here in particular
An abbey town ringed by the Hesbaye farming plateau, Gembloux brings together an old stone centre and a good many satellite villages. In practice the plateau is very exposed to the wind: the verges, the ridge tiles and the fibre cement sheets on outbuildings suffer first.
What separates paint that holds from paint that blisters is never the tin. It is the time spent beforehand: filling, sanding, dusting down, primer.
