Frequently Asked Questions about Papel Pintado y Empapelado
Does removing gotelé create dust?
Yes, especially during sanding, but we protect the space and work in a controlled way. The amount of dust depends on the technique needed for your wall.
Can every gotelé be removed the same way?
No. Some textures soften with water, others are harder or painted over many times. We choose the method after testing the surface.
Can you paint immediately after smoothing?
Only when the surface is dry, sanded and primed. Rushing this step can cause marks, uneven absorption or poor adhesion.
Is smoothing walls worth it before selling or renting?
In many homes it improves the perception of the property immediately. It is especially useful in older flats where gotelé makes the home look dated.
