Exterior surfaces are the calling card of a home or condominium: they must withstand rain, sun, smog, and temperature fluctuations, but they must also interact with the building's surroundings and architecture. The choice of plaster, paint, and finishes is not just aesthetic: it affects durability, future maintenance, and interior comfort.

Painting a facade isn't just a matter of applying a roller: exteriors involve large surfaces, variable weather conditions, joints, recesses, balconies, under-balconies, parapets, and details that must be handled methodically. A good application technique is crucial to turning quality materials into a lasting work.

Choosing exterior paint is always a delicate process: it must respect the architecture, the urban or landscape context, any municipal regulations, and also the tastes of the building's occupants. A good color scheme can enhance volumes, balconies, cornices, and proportions with just a few carefully considered touches.

Every street construction site inevitably has an interlocutor: the municipality. Permits, occupation of public land, traffic ordinances, and requests from local police and technical departments are all part of daily management. A clear and structured relationship with the administration simplifies life for everyone: those working, those supervising, and those living nearby.

Raised floors were originally designed as a technical solution for managing cables, utilities, and flexible spaces, but today they're also an aesthetic tool: they allow for the combination of performance and designer finishes in offices, banks, showrooms, and executive offices. Understanding the available materials helps you choose the right panel for each context.

Installing a raised floor is a very geometric process: it's a grid-like construction, with dimensions to respect, alignments to follow, and panels to be perfectly flush. Precise installation ensures stability, no creaking, and a finished surface that looks like a traditional floor... except that it houses a world of utilities underneath.

A raised floor doesn't have to be a technical floor. With the right choice of colors, sizes, and finishes, it can become a design element that complements furnishings, walls, and lighting, adding personality to offices, banks, showrooms, and executive spaces.

Outdoors, the substrate bears witness to years of rain, sun, smog, improvised filming, and sometimes small, cheap jobs. This is why preparation is crucial: without a good base, even the best outdoor film tends to fail quickly, resulting in peeling, bubbles, and stains.

A newly renovated facade completely changes the perception of a building, but over time it must contend with rain, sun, smog, dust, and vegetation. Careful maintenance extends the life of the system and avoids having to start from scratch every few years.

Setting up a construction site on the street means working within a space that extends beyond the construction site itself: it's used by cars, pedestrians, public transport, residents, and shoppers. Therefore, the organization of fences, barriers, access points, and storage areas must be clear, legible, and as compatible as possible with the daily lives of those using the street.

A construction site on a street effectively becomes part of the daily routine of those who live and work along that street. Noise, dust, and work schedules can quickly become a source of conflict, especially near shops, offices, schools, and homes. Properly managing these aspects means respecting people and working with less tension.

The closure of a road construction site doesn't coincide with the last pour of asphalt or the last stone laid. For those who live in the area, the work is truly finished only when the road is clean, free of debris, with pedestrian and vehicular paths restored and traffic flow clear again.

Even if the raised floor is separated from the subfloor, what's underneath matters greatly: flatness, elevation, humidity, and utility routing determine the system's stability and the quality of the result. Careful preparation prevents creaking, vibrations, and problems over time.

One of the great advantages of raised floors is the ability to access the underlying systems and reconfigure the spaces over time. To truly capitalize on this flexibility, it's important to properly manage cleaning, panel lifting, loads, and minor maintenance.

Not all tiles are the same: they vary in material, thickness, size, surface finish, and performance. Knowing how to distinguish between porcelain stoneware, traditional ceramic, mosaic, and natural stone helps you choose the right covering for each space, avoiding mistakes that can be costly over time.
