Plastering & drylining
Perfectly flat, paint-ready surfaces thanks to precise plastering and drylining work.
Plastering is the invisible foundation of every fine project. Perfectly flat, sound walls and ceilings are the condition for a successful paint job: without this step, defects show up under raking light once the finish is applied.
SwissPaints builds partitions and false ceilings (plasterboard), fits linings for thermal and acoustic insulation, and carries out all skimming, filling and smoothing. We straighten surfaces, fill irregularities and prepare a paint-ready base.
We also treat the common problems of Geneva homes: structural or surface cracks, repairs after water damage, holes and chases left by electricians or plumbers.
Careful drylining means fewer touch-ups, paint that grips better and a flawless final result. That is why we never skip a step, even the ones that don't show.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between plastering and drylining?
The two largely overlap: plastering covers coatings and smoothing, drylining also includes partitions and false ceilings. We handle the whole range.
How long before painting after a coating?
Drying time depends on thickness and ambient humidity, generally 24 to 48 hours. We wait for full drying before applying paint.
Can you repair a ceiling damaged by water?
Yes. We treat the area, redo the coating, smooth it and repaint for an invisible result.
Do you install false ceilings with downlights?
Yes, we build plasterboard false ceilings with the openings needed for lighting, in coordination with your electrician.
