Interior and exterior painting work: application steps
Even if you plan to entrust the painting work of your house to a professional, it is always prudent to know the stages of the work.

Prepare the site
This step is especially relevant for interior painting work. You’ll need to move all furniture and equipment from the room in question. If possible, move them to another room or into the hallway. If this seems impossible, simply protect the furniture as much as possible.
Use protective tarps or sheets, for example. For the safety of the tradespeople, it’s also advisable to remove electrical outlets and switches. Otherwise, cover them with a newspaper and tape.
Preparing for exterior painting follows this same principle. You must protect the areas you don’t want to be affected by the inevitable paint splashes.
Prepare the support
Next, the areas to be painted (walls, ceilings, etc.) need to be restored. In other words, the old paint must be scraped off (or the old wallpaper removed). Any cracks must be filled with plaster. Once this restoration is done, all that remains is to clean the surface (dusting, removing any glue, sanding, etc.). Each type of surface has its own preparation.
For a concrete surface, for example, an acid shampoo can do the trick. For a plaster wall, it must be vigorously dusted before being washed. And for all these, you can trust Art Smart.

Before applying your chosen paint, we’ll first apply a primer. You’re now ready to paint!
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of paint should I choose for interiors?
Make sure you buy paints specifically for indoor use. Typically, these include:
- Water-based paints
Their odorless properties make water-based paints the perfect product for your interiors. They also stand out for their ease of application and their very fast drying time. Unfortunately, for a successful result, you will need to apply several coats. Compared to oil-based paints, they are less durable.
- Oil paintings
Although it has a somewhat strong odor, oil paint is highly prized for its durability. This is why it is suitable for all types of surfaces. In addition to walls and ceilings, oil paints can also be used on floors.
There are other, more specific paints, such as glycerol, epoxy, polyurethane, vinyl paints, etc. They take their name from the type of binder present in the paint.
What kind of paint is suitable for exteriors?
Exterior paint on facades, walls, fences, gates, and more is easily damaged if you don’t use specific products. They aren’t immune to the elements. You should also consider your region’s climate. This will determine the level of protection you’ll need for your paint.
Here are some examples of the most commonly used exterior paints: water-based paint, Plioline paint, and mineral paint. Contact us if you’re unsure which one is right for you.
