Preparation

Moss Decorating & Refinishing started by sanding down each part of the staircase—the handrails, posts, and spindles.

After sanding, all wooden surfaces were thoroughly cleaned. Vacuuming and using a tack cloth ensured that all surfaces were free from dust and debris, setting the stage for the priming coat.

The team opted for oil-based Otex Adhesion Primer - a full matt, quick-drying primer that creates a highly adhesive foundation for the topcoat.

Painting

Moss Decorating & Refinishing turned to Tikkurila's Everal Aqua 40 semi-gloss paint, a choice that offered a range of advantages for this project.

One of the key considerations for this renovation was achieving a flawless finish, and the clients had high expectations. To meet this goal, a two-coat spray finish was applied using the Graco ST Max II 495 PC Pro Electric Airless Sprayer. This professional-grade equipment ensured an even and consistent application, guaranteeing the desired flawless look.

Moreover, Everal Aqua 40 semi-gloss paint is known for its durability and long-lasting finish, making it an ideal choice for a high-traffic area like a staircase. It not only provides an elegant appearance but also stands up to the rigors of daily use.
