Welcome to the Bouwcons blog. Here we share practical information, tips and insights about renovlies, painting, wall finishing and the delivery of new-build homes. Whether you are a homeowner preparing your property for handover or a contractor looking for a reliable finishing partner, this is where you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Compact walk-up flats combine shared access with inherited wall layers and rooms where storage and working space are limited. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
A maisonette combines apartment logistics with an internal stair and long concrete or system walls across two floors. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
1990s homes appear uniform, yet later alterations leave gypsum block, concrete and many paint repairs side by side. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
Many Overschie homes have been extended or rearranged, leaving apparently calm rooms built across several periods. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
Full-height glazing and distant views create exceptional light, exposing long walls, colour and sheen from many positions. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
A void wall connects two floors in one view and carries seams, paint bands and repairs across its full height. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
Smoke travels beyond the visible black mark and can leave odour and contamination on walls, ceilings and porous repairs. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
A wall can feel dry at the face while moisture remains deeper in plaster, blockwork or insulation. For a homeowner, this is a project decision rather than a decorative footnote.
A home office is a workplace, a background for video calls and a room where you look at the same walls for many hours. A general wish for “smooth walls” is therefore not enough.
