Painting walls in Cyprus

Painting walls is the most common type of finishing and the final stage of a renovation, so it always has high standards. Yarylo Construction offers professional wall and ceiling painting in Cyprus, using mid- and premium-grade paints, from base preparation to the final coat. We work in apartments, houses, villas, and offices in Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca.

Preparing walls for painting

An even colour without spots or streaks is only possible on a properly prepared surface: even, dry, dust-free and primed.

1. Plastering on beacons. Levels walls and creates right angles, forming a solid foundation.
2. Priming. Improves adhesion and reduces absorption.
3. Two coats of finishing putty. Same for drywall construction.
4. Sanding. Using special sanding machines with dust extraction.
5. Re-priming. The primer is selected to match the surface and paint type.
6. Surface protection. Windows, doors, and floors are covered with film and masking tape.

Painting

We apply two or more coats of paint to achieve rich color and the promised quality. We use rollers or paint stations: a station allows you to complete large volumes of work faster without sacrificing quality.

How we select paint

• Base: acrylic and latex water-based paints that comply with environmental standards.
• Gloss levels: deep matte, matte, semi-gloss, and glossy. Matte finishes reflect less light and hide minor imperfections.
• Wear resistance: abrasion resistance class and washability – we choose the most durable ones for hallways, offices, and public spaces.
• Wet rooms: special paints for bathrooms and showers.
• Children's: hypoallergenic paints.
