Steps of a plastering project with Avenir Rénovations Suisse
Each project follows a precise protocol to ensure an aesthetic and durable result that meets expectations.
Different types of plastering
The choice of technique depends on the support, the use of the room, and the desired finish. Avenir Rénovations Suisse offers several options to meet all needs.
Traditional plaster is applied manually or mechanically to create a smooth and durable surface. It offers excellent sound and thermal insulation while ensuring a uniform finish over large areas.
The smoothing compound is ideal for preparing a surface before painting or wallpapering. It masks small imperfections, evens out the texture, and allows for a flawless aesthetic finish.
Decorative plastering allows for relief or visual effects on walls and ceilings. Stucco, troweled, or waxed, it adds a personalized and unique touch to your interiors.
This quick and effective technique involves spraying the coating onto the surface and then smoothing it to achieve a perfect finish. It is particularly suitable for large surfaces and projects requiring quick intervention.

The materials used for plastering
The choice of materials is crucial for the quality and durability of the final result. We select certified products that meet Swiss standards, ensuring performance and aesthetics.
Natural plaster
Natural plaster is known for its ability to effectively regulate ambient humidity, which improves indoor comfort. It also offers quality thermal and acoustic insulation while providing a warm appearance to living spaces.
Lime-based coatings
Lime is an eco-friendly and breathable material, perfect for maintaining good indoor air quality. It resists mold and provides a natural aesthetic finish, ideal for durable and environmentally friendly finishes.
Ready-to-use coatings
These industrial coatings allow for quick and uniform application, facilitating the work of craftsmen. Their optimal adhesion and controlled drying help reduce project duration while ensuring a professional result.
Options and finishes for your ceilings
A ceiling finish is not just a smooth surface: it can also be customized to create visual effects, improve insulation, or bring a unique style. Avenir Rénovations Suisse offers various finishes to enhance your interiors.
Smooth finishes ready to paint
Perfectly smooth surfaces are ideal for receiving paint or wallpaper. This type of finish provides an elegant and uniform appearance while facilitating the application of the final coating.
Decorative and textured effects
Textured finishes like stucco or troweled effects add character to walls and ceilings. They allow for play with light and depth to give each room a unique style.
High-resistance finishes
For high-traffic areas, it is possible to opt for reinforced coatings that are more resistant to impacts and wear. This solution is recommended in public spaces or high-traffic rooms.
Regulations for ceiling work in French-speaking Switzerland
In Switzerland, certain interior works must comply with specific standards to ensure quality, safety, and compliance of the site. Ceiling work, although often considered decorative, is subject to certain obligations.
Permits and prior declarations
In most cases, interior ceiling work does not require a permit. However, if it is part of a major renovation project or modifies the structure, a declaration to the municipality may be mandatory.
Safety and environmental standards
The materials used must meet Swiss standards regarding emissions and fire safety. Low VOC (volatile organic compounds) products are preferred to preserve indoor air quality.
Compliance with co-ownership rules
In condominium ownership (PPE), certain works may require the agreement of the co-ownership, especially if they require prolonged access to common areas or cause disturbances.
Accessibility and insulation
As part of energy renovations, ceiling work can be integrated into projects aimed at improving acoustic and thermal insulation. These improvements may qualify for subsidies depending on the canton.
FAQ on ceiling work in French-speaking Switzerland
Is a permit required for ceiling work?
No, a permit is not necessary unless the work is part of a larger project, such as structural renovation or a change in the use of rooms, which then requires official authorization.
What is the average duration of a ceiling project?
For a standard-sized room, ceiling work typically takes two to five days. The duration depends on the condition of the substrate, the chosen technique, and the drying time required between each step.
Can ceiling work be done on an old painted surface?
Yes, provided the surface is well prepared. This involves thorough cleaning, careful sanding, and applying a primer coat to ensure good adhesion and durability of the new finish.
Does ceiling work improve insulation?
Ceiling work alone does not constitute insulation. However, certain specific coatings can slightly enhance thermal and acoustic insulation, especially when combined with other insulating materials.
How to maintain a ceiling?
Regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a dry cloth are sufficient. For painted surfaces, it is advisable to use non-abrasive mild products to preserve the finish.
Can a decorative coating be applied directly on a new ceiling?
Exactly! It is crucial to wait until the ceiling is completely dry before proceeding with further work or applying a finishing coat. This step prevents cracks and ensures a smooth, uniform, and durable final appearance.
