Airless spray painting — using high-pressure pumps to atomise and apply paint as a fine mist — achieves a flawless, even finish on large flat surfaces that is difficult to replicate by brush and roller. Our NW3 decorators use spray application selectively, in situations where its advantages justify the time spent on masking and protection.
Where We Use Spray in NW3 Properties
We use airless spray for: kitchen cabinet fronts and carcase painting (achieves a factory-quality, completely stipple-free finish); full interior redecorations in empty properties (dramatic time saving on walls and ceilings); wall panelling (produces a perfectly smooth, uniform eggshell finish); large commercial spaces. We do not use spray as a shortcut in occupied properties where masking is impractical.
Masking and Protection
Spray painting in occupied NW3 properties requires very extensive masking — every floor, window, fitting, and socket must be covered, and all doors and openings sealed against overspray mist. The masking and protection takes as long as the spraying — but the quality of finish justifies it.
HVLP vs Airless Spray
For fine furniture, built-in joinery, and cabinetry in NW3 properties, we use HVLP (high-volume, low-pressure) spray — it produces less overspray and is more controllable for complex shapes. For walls and ceilings in empty properties, airless spray is faster and more appropriate.
