Yes, much better. That dull gray with those 70s ornamental tiles... you just don't see that anymore. The accents with the black frames and the green fixtures... very modern! ;)

I would have guessed about 20 years. 2000 or so. White tiles were popular then and black and white. Or am I wrong? In the 70s there was lime green and beige and pine wood on the ceiling. Well done

almost right :)

Well done

Thanks :)

Well done

... although ... the tilers did a good job. I just "paid" :)

Are you sure about that?? As far as I know, painting is rather more robust. You usually also have more material. You can paint the railing on site. Why it was done 3 times for you, I don’t know. For us, it got one primer and one coat of the actual color. And for large parts, you also need the right machine first. Powder coating is known to me as the rather more expensive option.

With paint, you rather get chips and scratches if, for example, you hit it with a wedding ring. It had to be painted 3 times so that it properly covers, because the cheeks are white. I think you know my railing. Painting that would have been much more laborious than powder coating.

Yes, that is correct. That may apply to your railing.

Besides... powder coating is much thinner than paint. And practically not inconspicuously repairable. White may be a special case. If you have a "normal" flat steel railing, primed and painted once... done. These are special paints. They are very durable. I'm not a professional either, but I have heard from various sources several times that powder coating is usually more sensitive and more expensive. (This may not apply to industrial mass production). That's why your statement surprised me. I've heard that for the first time.

A powder coating still has to be baked in. The necessary object temperature is difficult to achieve with massive metal parts.

Our bathroom is - when I see other floor plans - quite small at about 7 sqm. During the renovation, we moved the toilet to the opposite wall, removed the bathtub which was still there despite the shower, and preferred to use the space for a double washbasin and a 130 cm x 95 cm large shower. Ideal for us :)

A great before / after comparison! Left "creepy", right "very nice"
