  • Painting The Decorative Details – Awnings

    Painting The Decorative Details – Awnings

    Painting Decorative Details. Kensington

    Decorative awnings look great but, unfortunately they usually come unpainted. Painting decorative details is a little time consuming.

    But if you are a glutton for punishment, painting these four awning involves:

    • Preperation: sanding, gapping filling
    • One coat of primer
    • Two coats of exterior paint

    That’s about 12 hours of our time as professional exterior house painters, double that for you. 24 Hours, 3 days! That’s not just one weekend!

    Painting Lacework, Gorbels and Picket Fences

    All of these take a lot more time than you’d like to believe, because they are the fiddly painting tasks. Lacework is usually iron, so you will need to be priming with a metal primer, after you’ve dealt with any rust, and then you’ll be painting two top coats. Corbels, those things above weatherboard veranda roofs, are fiddly because they have been left to the elements for years. And as so, they are held together by paint, dust and spiders! This painting task will have you lying down upside down. Whilst trying to stay on a veranda roof with your foot in the gutter. Picket fences were designed to be time vacumns. Because after you’ve finished the first picket, you’ve only got another 230 still to do. Then there’s the second and possibly a third coat!

    Retail Painting. South Melbourne

    So now we know where to get our Thorogood Boots from. South Melbourne, incase you weren’t in the know! ‘Retail’ Painting and we’ll ‘re-tell’ you where to go!

    Occasionally we get asked to paint retail spaces, exhibition sites etc, it’s good to keep things fresh and broaden your horizons. More details Sterling Retail Painters.

    Painting a commercial space is always a little forward thinking. Newer ideas are generally used, this isn’t someone’s home afterall. And as so, sometimes the interior designer has pushed the boat out. We’ve painted offices too, however these can be much more sober. Because working in a bright and fucky space maybe too much for some!

    Yes we know that one of the paints is Antique White USA. But the Symphony Red, well we don’t use that everyday. Working with such viabrant paint colours can be problematic, and can result in many coats of paint. Why? Because it all depends on the base of the paint it’s made from. Yes there are many different base colours, not just white, that the end colours are made from .

    Exterior Painting, Paints Used:

    • Dulux Weathershield low sheen Symphony Red.
    • Dulux Weathershield low sheen Antique White USA.
    • A custom stain was used on the door.

    Kensington House Painters – Hallway To Heaven.

    A beautifully painted hallway makes the wonderful design pieces stand out. Because we’re interior house painters Kensington, we’re hallway painters by default. Your hallway is the first thing people see coming into your house. So it’s a great way to make a first impression on your guests. Or maybe just the postman.

    With so many of these Victoria House hallways, there are fancy arches, cornices, ceiling roses and picture rails, so it’s easy to make a grand entrance. Whether you want to pick out the details with different paint colours. Or rely upon the shadows and the paint sheen levels. Options are a given with these hallways.

    Using ‘Natural White’, which is a great, walm, classic and yet contemporary colour, was a great choice. Whites paints can be very hard to choose, and ‘Vivid White’ is a definetly a no no!

    Here’s some help choosing whites from Dulux. We know as Kensington house painters, it can be the make or break in the painting project.

    Paints Used:

    • Ceilings: Haymes Ceiling Flat ‘natural white’
    • Walls: Dulux Wash & Wear low sheen ‘natural white’
    • Trim: Dulux Super Enamel semi gloss ‘natural white’
    • Door:Dulux Super Enamel high gloss ‘red box’
