Handover with Confidence

The brief was deceptively simple: bring a dated 1960s property in the Bruges suburbs to a standard that matched its new interior architecture — without touching the structural shell.

The solution required close coordination between the facade team and the interior finishing crew. External lime wash alongside full-coverage ETICS insulation outside; gyproc, plaster, and spray-painted ceilings throughout the interior.

The result is a property that reads as entirely new — but was built on a foundation that already existed.

External insulation

Three problems, one continuous workflow

Every renovation project presents its own constraints. For Villa Keersmaeker, the complexity came from the interaction between the exterior and interior scopes — requiring precise sequencing and a single team managing both.

Substrate incompatibility

Ceiling heights up to 3.8m required scaffolding coordination with spray painting to maintain a dust-free, controlled environment throughout.

Heritage lime wash on new build

The client wanted an authentic lime wash finish over a modern ETICS system — a technically demanding combination requiring specialist application.

Spray finishing at height

Ceiling heights up to 3.8m required scaffolding coordination with spray painting to maintain a dust-free, controlled environment throughout.

Services delivered

Six distinct service areas, all coordinated under a single Pluswall project lead

ETICS External Insulation

Full external insulation system applied across all elevations — significantly improving thermal performance without interior space loss.

Lime Wash (Kalei)

Traditional lime wash applied in two tones over the insulation system — our signature finish, delivering a warm, characterful result.

Full Replastering

All interior walls and ceilings stripped and replastered — providing a flawless, perfectly smooth base for the paint finish throughout.

Gyproc Ceilings

New suspended ceilings installed on all floors — concealing services, improving acoustic separation, and providing the perfect spray surface.

Spray Painting

All ceilings and primary walls spray-finished for a smooth, mark-free result — impossible to achieve by brush at this scale and height.

Joinery & Detail Painting

Doors, skirting, window frames, and all architectural joinery finished by hand — brushwork that complements the spray-painted surfaces.

The team was punctual, professional, and very detail-oriented. You can tell they care about the final result — the finish is clean, consistent, and has completely transformed the look of our house. Communication was also excellent throughout the project, with no surprises along the way.
