Commercial property interior woodwork paint spraying

One of our past commercial interior paint spraying projects involved painting previously stained woodwork. As anyone who has tried to paint stained wood can attest, it is a tricky task that requires a high level of skill and expertise.

Here are some of the issues that could arise when painting over stained wood:

• Poor adhesion: Stained wood can be difficult for paint to adhere to, especially if the stain is oil-based or has not been properly prepared.
• Streaking and blotchiness: Stained wood can have variations in colour and texture, which can cause streaking and blotchiness when painted over.
• Uneven coverage: When painting over stained wood, uneven coverage can occur due to variations in porosity across the surface. This can make it challenging for the paint to adhere evenly and can result in an uneven finish.
• Peeling and chipping: If the stained wood has not been properly prepared or if the wrong type of paint is used, the paint may peel or chip over time.
• Colour bleed-through: If the stain is not completely sealed, the colour may bleed through the paint, resulting in an uneven or discoloured finish.

If you have a similar project, our advice is not to risk it and hire professional painters and decorators with experience in painting over stained wood. Without adequate preparation and the correct selection of paint products, serious issues can arise, including poor adhesion, uneven coverage, peeling, and chipping.

By choosing an experienced painting company, you can ensure that the job is done right the first time
