Aesthetic improvement and customization
Painting allows for modernizing a space, harmonizing colors, or respecting an architectural style. It gives character to a place and reflects the visual identity desired by the occupants or designers.
Real estate enhancement
A recently painted property attracts more attention from potential buyers or tenants. The thoughtful choice of colors and finishes can significantly increase the perceived value of the property.

Products and paint finishes
The choice of products and finishes determines the durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance of surfaces.
Acrylic paint
Water-based, acrylic paint is low-odor, dries quickly, and cleans easily. Versatile, it is suitable for most surfaces and comes in a wide range of shades and finishes.
Glycero paint
Resistant to impacts, friction, and repeated cleaning, glycero paint is ideal for high-traffic areas. It releases solvents during application, requiring good ventilation of the affected rooms.
Mineral paint
Composed of silicate or lime, mineral paint allows the substrates to breathe due to its permeability to water vapor. Very durable, it is particularly suitable for the facades of old or heritage buildings.
Matte, satin, or glossy finishes
The matte finish absorbs light and masks irregularities for a sober and elegant look. The satin finish adds a slight sheen, while the glossy finish highlights details but requires perfect preparation of the substrate.
Regulations for painting work in French-speaking Switzerland
In French-speaking Switzerland, certain regulations govern painting work, particularly for facades and listed buildings.
Municipal permits
Changing the color of a facade may require a permit, especially in protected areas or subject to aesthetic regulations. Requirements vary by canton and municipality, making administrative procedures specific to each situation.
Environmental standards
Paints must comply with current standards regarding VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions. The use of eco-friendly products is strongly encouraged to limit the impact on health and the environment.
Heritage protection
For listed buildings or those located in historical areas, the shades and application techniques must be approved by heritage authorities. This helps preserve architectural authenticity and the harmony of the built environment.
Site safety
During work at height or on facades, safety devices must be put in place. Scaffolding, harnesses, or nets ensure the protection of workers and people near the site.
