Case Study

Penthouse Spray-Finish Throughout

A newly refurbished penthouse apartment overlooking Hyde Park required a flawless spray-applied finish across all walls, ceilings, and bespoke joinery. The interior designer specified an ultra-smooth, lacquer-like appearance that could only be achieved through professional airless spraying.

The Challenge

Achieving a factory-quality spray finish in a residential setting requires exhaustive masking and protection of every surface not being painted. The floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the apartment, combined with the open-plan layout, meant that overspray control was critical. The bespoke kitchen cabinetry required an automotive-grade finish with zero texture.

Our Approach

The entire apartment was systematically masked using polyethylene sheeting, specialist masking tapes, and paper to protect all glazing, flooring, and fixtures. We employed HVLP spray equipment for the joinery and cabinetry to achieve the finest possible atomisation, while larger wall and ceiling areas were coated using airless sprayers fitted with fine-finish tips. Each surface received a mist coat followed by two full spray passes, with light sanding between coats to ensure perfect adhesion and smoothness.

The Result

The finished penthouse has the pristine, seamless quality of a show apartment. The kitchen cabinetry finish is indistinguishable from a factory-applied lacquer, and the walls and ceilings throughout have a perfectly uniform sheen free of brush marks or roller stipple.

We specified a spray finish because nothing else would meet the standard our client expected. The result has exceeded our brief entirely. The kitchen joinery looks as though it came straight from an Italian workshop.
