Yes, we carefully finish outlets, switches, and connection points. These are temporarily removed at no cost and neatly reinstalled afterwards. This way, they fit perfectly with the wall finish.

No, we work completely seamlessly. After applying Renovlies we caulk all seams. We then latex the walls. The result is comparable to plastering. Micro-cracks that may form in the wall remain behind the Renovlies. We secure all walls. Renovlies in the corners will never come loose. Guaranteed.

No, our quotes include travel costs. For requests far outside our region, we offer to stay near you. This allows us to work the hours without spending time in the car and incurring unnecessary travel expenses.

We fill these in with the roller when we apply latex. For an additional charge, we can skim the holes smooth with filler. Check this page for attics we have finished.

Yes, of course. You need to supply the correct size and take into account extra bleed. The website or shop where you order the wallpaper can advise you on this. The wallpaper must be on-site at the start of the project. You need to supply the quality "Non-woven wallpaper" and the accompanying adhesive recommended by the supplier. We can include a rate for hanging photo wallpaper in your quote.

Applying Renovlies yourself is possible, but requires experience and precision. For a truly smooth and seamless result, we recommend professional installation. This way you avoid disappointment and additional costs.

You are of course welcome in our showroom, sometimes people enjoy meeting each other before the assignment is placed. We have fitted a number of walls with plaster, Renovlies and various colours of latex. We have colour samples available for you in the standard colours white and the Sigma colour collection.

Our opening hours

It may happen that you decide to wallpaper over Renovlies. In that case, it is likely that there is already a latex layer on your Renovlies, which ensures that the wallpaper and the Renovlies do not repel each other. The latex layer prevents all of the wallpaper paste from being absorbed into the Renovlies. The prices for removing wallpaper can fluctuate, as there are differences in how easy or difficult the wallpaper is to remove.

No, Renovlies should never be applied over old wallpaper. Wallpaper must always be removed first to prevent the moisture in the adhesive from causing it to come loose and to avoid uneven surfaces.

Yes! However, it must first be plastered. We can take care of this for you. After plastering, we apply Renovlies and latex. The result is a super smooth, flat wall with the appearance of stucco.

Yes! However, it must first be plastered. We can take care of this for you. After plastering, we apply Renovlies and latex. The result is a super smooth, flat wall with the appearance of stucco.

Yes, Renovlies is very suitable for concrete walls. However, proper preparation is required, such as sanding, leveling, and priming / applying a primer coat. This ensures that the Renovlies adheres optimally and results in a smooth finish without any visible texture.

Yes, Renovlies is excellent for use on plasterboard. The seams are first reinforced with mesh tape and levelled to create a completely smooth surface. Of course, we will first discuss the possibilities.

Yes, Renovlies is removable. In practice, customers usually choose to repaint it. Removal is possible, but requires skilled work to prevent damage to the substrate.

Yes, Renovlies is excellent for use in bedrooms. It provides a calm, sleek appearance and is breathable. This keeps the indoor climate pleasant and creates a comfortable living environment.

Yes, Renovlies can effectively bridge small hairline cracks and stress cracks. The strong fiber structure keeps these invisible after finishing, contributing to a long-lasting smooth result.

Renovlies is stronger than regular wallpaper and reasonably impact-resistant. In high-traffic areas, we recommend using extra wear-resistant paint for additional protection.

Of course. If you have a few neighbors (< 10) you can make use of the neighbor program. One of you is often the "driving force". In practice, it involves nothing more than pointing neighbors to our quote by sharing it in a WhatsApp group or Facebook group. Depending on the number of neighbors who sign, we offer a discount on Renovlies+latex. If you would like to make an appointment on behalf of the entire neighborhood, we can offer a collective deal. From 12 participating neighbors onward, a special price applies. What we need for that is (if you and your neighbors are on board) a list of names, email addresses, Mr. and/or Mrs., address and delivery date (expected). We will send a separate quote with the special price to each individual, and this applies once the minimum number of neighbors has signed. We make separate appointments with everyone regarding extras, colors, etc. So you are not responsible for your neighbors. If you are interested, we would love to hear from you.

Yes. We apply primer and latex paint. The result is a beautifully smooth ceiling in the color of your choice. We often take care of this after the ceilings have been plastered, because people want the V-joints in their ceiling to be filled and smoothed out. Ceilings are usually finished with sprayed filler in white, or they are left completely unfinished. In both cases, a plasterer can smooth the ceilings, after which we can apply the desired color.

Yes, for a small additional cost we can apply this for use in the kitchen, for example. There are also people who have their entire home finished in removable latex. Of course, you can also decide to include traffic areas such as the hallway.

Yes, we can also apply Renovlies or smooth paintwork to ceilings. This creates a seamless, uniform look between the walls and ceiling, which enhances the overall appearance of the home.

Yes, we are happy to advise on color choices and paint types. This ensures the wall finish perfectly matches your interior and living style.

No. Old wallpaper must first be removed. This is for the best result.
In the case that we come to apply Renovlies at your home and you also want photo wallpaper or patterned wallpaper applied, we will leave these walls bare. We can pre-treat them, but will then apply the wallpaper provided by you directly.

Yes. You can provide your color choice, and we will ensure it is mixed, provided you give us the manufacturer and color number. If you are a customer with us, we can send you a color advice brochure from Sigma, featuring a wide range of colors/color swatches. This allows you to leisurely select the right colors for the accent walls. You can even upload a photo and see your wall in the correct color. (instructions are included)
We can reproduce 99% of all colors. It is advisable to pass on your preferences for the finish. We will then check with the paint desk. You can always supply the paint from your own supplier. We will then deduct an amount from the surcharge for an extra coat.

If you have underfloor heating in your home, a start-up protocol will be recommended. This means that every day the water temperature of the underfloor heating is increased (5 degrees per day up to 40 degrees) and cooled down (5 degrees per day to 20 degrees). It is not a problem if you carry out the start-up protocol while we are working. It is not advisable to carry it out after us: temperature fluctuations affect the walls, which can cause unnecessary cracks (movement of the walls).
Always seek advice from your contractor in this matter. It is possible that a start-up protocol for you differs from the standard one.

In most cases, we advise finishing the walls first and then installing the stretch ceiling. This way, we can finish the walls neatly right up to the ceiling without any risk of damage.

Renovlies and glass fibre wallpaper are both impact-resistant materials, but Renovlies is even more resistant to impacts than glass fibre wallpaper. Renovlies always has a smooth finish, whereas glass fibre wallpaper is also available in various textures, such as diamond or square patterns.

Sometimes people ask whether they need to turn on construction heating before we arrive. This is not necessary; as long as the walls are visually dry (no water on the windowsill), we can simply get to work. The Renovlies and latex are vapour-permeable, so the moisture will gradually draw out of your walls over time.
It is possible that the property is too damp for the plaster we apply to dry properly — it may simply take too long to dry. It does need to be dry before we can continue. In that case, we can arrange one or more dehumidifiers for you.

You need to have completed this before we arrive, or start it as we begin. If you start the protocol after us, there is a risk of cracking.

Yes, old wallpaper must always be removed before Renovlies is applied. Only on a clean, flat surface can we guarantee a neat end result without any peeling parts.

When installed professionally, Renovlies is virtually indistinguishable from smooth plasterwork. After preparing the walls, such as machine sanding, a smooth, even surface is created. Renovlies is then applied to the wall without visible seams. We provide this with our seamless guarantee.

Yes, Renovlies is always finished with (high-quality) wall paint, such as Sigma paint. This provides protection, color, and a perfect end result that stays beautiful for a long time.

Yes and no. When the floor is leveled first, it may be covered before the wall finishing begins. This prevents contamination or damage. If, for example, paint drops get on it, these can easily be removed with a putty knife.

Your presence is not required. Many customers give us access and simply go about their day. We will keep you updated throughout the process and deliver everything neatly upon completion.

It is not necessary to completely empty the home, but we do advise moving furniture away from the walls. Small pieces of furniture can be covered. This allows us to work safely and efficiently without the risk of damage.

Attic panels tend to shrink and expand. If we were to apply Renovlies to these panels, the Renovlies would tear. The attic panels are treated with 2 coats of superlatex or primer+latex. You can view a number of examples of previously completed work on this page.

Of course. But we are not plasterers. We smooth walls that have been finished with granol (e.g. during renovation); for complete homes requiring plastering work, you are better off hiring a professional plasterer. The same applies to filling V-joints — that specialty is truly the domain of the plasterer.  Since Renovlies is an affordable alternative to plastering, we have specialised in that. Moreover, micro-cracks in walls in new-build properties remain hidden behind the Renovlies, whereas with plastering they would be visible. What we often do is apply primer and latex to a plastered ceiling. Ask about the possibilities.

No. We do work together with a company from Leiderdorp. They have a showroom where you can view all possible flooring options and make appointments for your home.

Yes. Ask about the possibilities.

No. We do not have a webshop or individual sales. The Renovlies we purchase are used by our teams for all projects.

We specialize in wallpapering complete homes or housing projects. For a single wall or room, we recommend finding a local handyman service. They are better equipped for that ...

We have everything in stock; we don't need to measure up in advance like a tile supplier. Let's stay in touch about the completion date. On day 1 of the job we measure everything up.
To help you assess the quality of your walls, we've created a flyer called "ready to wallpaper". You can request it via our website, regardless of whether you've already requested a quote. In this flyer we explain what to look out for when assessing your walls, and how to do it.

Of course.

No. We work around the radiators; you will hardly notice anything.

We have a street/neighbors discount program. You can share your quote in your Facebook group or WhatsApp. Neighbors can mention your name. We collect all neighbors into a neighbors group. Depending on the number of participating neighbors, we offer a discount. This breakdown is specified in our quote. Are you the first from a neighbors group? Have neighbors mention your name, and we can add these people to the neighbors group. Based on our terms and conditions, you are entitled to a referral bonus.

Yes, we provide a warranty on our work and materials. This gives you assurance about the quality and durability of the end result

Experience shows that Renovlies is permeable to moisture vapour. Moisture will dissipate from your home over time. If it is necessary to use construction dryers to dry a plaster layer, for example, we will advise you accordingly.

Always.

Yes, we are active throughout a large part of the Netherlands and carry out both small and large projects for private individuals and businesses.

Yes, we work with experienced fixed teams. This allows us to guarantee consistent quality and ensures that your project is in professional hands.

We start with inspection, repair, sanding and priming. Any damage is repaired. We can also plaster walls if necessary. We will of course discuss the options. This way we create a perfect base for Renovlies.

Our planning fills up approximately 2 to 3 months before the execution date. It depends on the time of year. Full means that we schedule the maximum number of projects our teams can handle. We place you in our planning on the expected delivery date. As the date gets closer and more specific, we adjust your position accordingly. As a result, we generally start work shortly after delivery.
If circumstances arise where you have suddenly purchased a home with a short delivery timeline, please contact us. It is possible that we have availability in our planning. Deliveries are sometimes rescheduled, which can suddenly free up space in the schedule.

Please allow approximately 5 working days for a home of 200 m2. If additional preparation is required or if you have specific wishes regarding colour, extra ceilings, or lacquer work, this will extend the timeframe. With every order confirmation, we include a document that allows you to estimate how long we will be working, so you can plan any follow-up activities accordingly. Thanks to our efficient working method, the total turnaround time is often shorter than with traditional plastering.

Renovlies is extremely durable and, with proper maintenance, can last for decades. It remains stable, tear-resistant, and can be repainted multiple times without any loss of quality.

Usually you can fully use the space again within one to two days after completion. By then, the wall paint will have had sufficient time to dry.

We have a neighbour discount program. Feel free to ask about the conditions. We are happy to send you flyers to hand out during a neighbourhood meeting. You can share your quote on Facebook or WhatsApp. Have your future neighbours mention your name, and we will combine all registrants into a neighbour group. You will all be entitled to a discount according to our quote. As the initiator (the first neighbour in the group), we offer you an additional initiator bonus.

On the first day we start, we will take final measurements using a laser. Based on the actual square meters and your additional wishes, we will draw up a budget for which we require your approval. After that, we can get started.
Since we do not need to purchase (custom) materials, there is no need for us to come for a measuring appointment. The first time we meet is often at the start of the project.
We reserve a period during which we will be working at your location. It is possible that we do not start on day 1, but on day 3. We always ensure that we are finished on the last day.

Our walls are already wallpaper-ready. These don't need to be sanded, right? Often they do. If you were to apply Renovlies directly over a wallpaper-ready wall, you would see all the imperfections. Why not have it done properly straight away? You will probably be looking at your walls for a very long time. If we were to paste over your walls without any pre-treatment, everything underneath would be visible. Every bump, every hole would be highlighted. The minimum is sanding and filling. If a wall is built from sand-lime brick blocks, which are often unevenly stacked, plastering is a requirement.

Painting is the professional application of wall paint to walls or ceilings using a roller or spray technique. The goal is a smooth, even and streak-free finish. Good painting requires proper preparation, high-quality paint and craftsmanship, so the walls stay looking great for years to come.

Our seamless guarantee means that after completion, no visible seams or overlaps can be seen. The wall forms one smooth whole, comparable to high-quality plastering.

For us, wallpaper-ready means that no dip or bump is visible when using a raking light lamp.

The brown or green attic panels can generally be treated with 2 coats of superlatex. See examples at projects. On this page you can see a number of attics that we have made look great. For an additional charge, we can fill the holes smooth with filler. We can discuss this during the measuring appointment.

Minor damage can easily be repaired. We provide clear maintenance instructions and for more significant issues we offer appropriate service and aftercare.

This is certainly possible, just make sure the Renovlies wallpaper has been coated with a latex layer before you start wallpapering.

Crooked or uneven walls are levelled out beforehand. This allows us to still achieve a neat end result, even in older homes. And as a side note: In the construction industry, there is an unwritten rule: There is not a single wall that is perfectly straight.

Latex is a water-based wall paint used for finishing walls and ceilings. It is also known as "emulsion". Latex gives walls a smooth, durable and easy-to-maintain finish. Good latex paint is breathable, colourfast and simple to clean, making it ideal for living spaces.

Plastering is the application of a thin layer of plaster to make walls smooth and even again. It fills in small imperfections, bumps, and dips. This layer forms an ideal base for Renovlies or paintwork and ensures a clean, professional finish.

Primer is a special base coat that ensures good adhesion between the substrate and the finishing layer. It prevents paint from being absorbed and ensures even coverage. Primer is always applied to clean, dry and dust-free surfaces for a durable result.

Renovlies is made from cellulose, reinforced with polyester fibers. Glass fiber wallpaper is made from sand.

Preferably wallpapering first, then the rest. A different order is possible in consultation. If you have a floor laid first, it must be covered with a protective floor covering. You can lay this yourself before we arrive, or ask us to do it. In general, we can work alongside a bathroom installer without any issues. We prefer not to have other companies/handymen around while we are working. This is related to the quality of work and the risks that arise when multiple parties are working at the same time.

In newly built homes, shrinkage cracks often appear. Renovlies absorbs these movements and prevents visible cracks. Because the shrinkage cracks remain behind the Renovlies. This keeps the result looking smooth for longer than with traditional plastering.

Yes. This applies to all brands of latex, except satin or washable latex. These shiny spots can occur through contact/rubbing against the wall. They are particularly likely to be visible with dark colors such as black, blue, and brown.

We have a detailed explanation available from one of our suppliers about the sensitivity to shining and streaking. This is also an interesting document that precisely describes what scrub classes are. For our products we naturally use scrub class 1 (Scrub class 1 is different from washable latex).

If you want to be certain that this cannot happen in your home, it is best to have your entire home finished with semi-gloss or washable latex. However, the costs for this are approximately double the costs of regular latex. Hospital operating rooms and waiting rooms are finished with this type of paint. Most people choose to have only the kitchen done with washable latex.

No. We carefully conceal these before applying the finishing coat. The result is a guaranteed seamless finish. Come and take a look at our sample walls, which we have plastered and then covered with Renovlies. That way you can judge the result for yourself.
