Cleaning:
The opening is cleaned of dust, debris, or plaster residue.
Frame Installation:
The frame (door casing) is placed in the opening, perfectly leveled, and firmly fixed to the wall using screws, polyurethane foam, or other suitable materials. It is critical that it is perfectly level so the door closes correctly.
Door Leaf Installation:
Hinge Connection:
The door leaf is attached to the frame with hinges (usually 3).

Security Door
-
Removal of Old Door and Frame:
Initially, the existing door and its old frame are removed.
This may require breaking around the frame to fully release it from the wall. The debris is removed from the premises.
-
Opening Preparation:
The wall opening is inspected to ensure it is suitable for the new frame.
Any necessary modifications or reinforcements to the masonry are made, especially if the opening is too large or has sustained damage.
-
Installation of the Metal Sub-frame (Press):
The metal frame of the security door, which is much sturdier than a simple frame, is placed in the opening.
Fixing:
This is the most critical stage. The frame is perfectly leveled (horizontally and vertically) and firmly anchored to the wall using metal rods or special chemical anchors. The rods pass through the frame and penetrate deep into the wall, providing maximum resistance against burglary attempts. In some cases, a chemical anchor may also be used.
Filling The gap between the frame and the wall is filled with special mortar or high-density polyurethane foam for extra stability and insulation.
-
Door Leaf Installation:
The heavy security door leaf (which is typically armored with steel) is hung on the special heavy-duty hinges of the frame. The hinges are adjustable. Hinge adjustment is performed to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly, without friction, and fits perfectly into the frame at all points.
-
Installation of Lock and Security Mechanisms:
The security lock (multi-point locking system), the cylinder, and the steel locking bars that enter the frame are installed.
The handles, the pull bar, and the strike plate are fitted. The operation of all locks and mechanisms is thoroughly checked.
-
Installation of Panels and Architraves (Trims):
Once the core work is completed, the wood or other material panels are installed on the door (internally and externally), along with the architraves (frames) that cover the gaps and provide the final aesthetic result.
-
Final Adjustments and Cleaning:
Final adjustments are made for the perfect operation of the door and locks.
The area is cleaned of any residues.

Main Types of Insulation:
Thermal Insulation: -
What it is: It prevents heat transfer between the interior and exterior environment. It aims to maintain warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer.
Where it is applied: -
(Terraces):
One of the most important points, as the roof is directly exposed to the sun and weather conditions.
Roofs: -
In tiled roofs or other types of roofing.
Exterior Walls (Shell): -
Using thermal facade (external thermal insulation) or internal thermal insulation.
Open Ground Floors (Pilotes): -
Insulation of the pilotis ceiling to protect the first-floor apartments.
Frames:
Modern frames (windows, doors) feature thermal breaks and double/triple glazing to provide thermal insulation.Materials:
Expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), rock wool, glass wool, polyurethane foam, thermal insulation coatings.
Waterproofing:
What it is: It protects the building from water and moisture penetration, preventing problems such as mold, wall bubbling, and structural damage. -
Where it is applied:
Roofs (Terraces):Usually combined with thermal insulation (thermo-waterproofing).
Basements/Foundations:For protection against ground moisture.
Bathrooms/Kitchens:
Areas where there is frequent contact with water.
Exterior Walls:In regions with heavy rainfall.
BalconiesTo avoid leaks to the floors below.
Materials:Bituminous membranes, cementitious waterproofing, acrylic sealants, polyurethane sealants, EPDM membranes. -
Sound Insulation:
What it is: It reduces sound transmission between spaces or from the outside environment to the inside, offering peace and privacy. -
Where it is applied:
-
Interior Walls:Between apartments or rooms.
-
Floors:To reduce impact noise (footsteps, falling objects).
-
Ceilings:To reduce airborne noise from the floor above.
-
Exterior Walls:In areas with high external noise levels.
-
Materials:Rock wool, glass wool, special soundproof membranes, gypsum boards with soundproofing properties.
Frames (Windows & Doors)
-
Removal of Old Frames:Initially, old windows or balcony doors are carefully removed along with their frames. This process is carried out in a way that causes minimal damage to the plaster or masonry surrounding the opening. The dismantled materials are removed from the site.
-
Opening Preparation:The opening is cleaned of dust and debris. The leveling and correctness of the opening are checked. Any irregularities or damages to the plaster are repaired.
-
Installation of New Frames:
-
Frame Fixing:The new frame (e.g., aluminum, PVC, wood) is placed in the opening, leveled with absolute precision, and firmly secured to the masonry with special plugs, rods, or other anchoring systems. Proper leveling is critical for the smooth operation of the frame.
-
Gap Sealing:Gaps between the frame and the wall are filled with polyurethane foam for thermal and sound insulation.
-
Silicone/Sealant Application:Special silicone or sealant is applied perimetrically, both internally and externally, to ensure complete air and water tightness.
-
Installation of Glazing (Glass Panes):Once the frame and the sashes are in place, the glass panes are installed. These are typically double or triple energy-efficient panes that offer high thermal and sound insulation. The glass panes are secured into position.
-
Installation of Mechanisms and Accessories:Mechanisms (e.g., tilt-and-turn, sliding), handles, locks, and any other accessories (e.g., insect screens, shutters) are installed. The smooth operation of all mechanisms is tested, and the frame is adjusted to ensure it opens and closes correctly.
-
Area Restoration:Any minor repairs to the plaster around the frame are completed. The area is cleaned of debris and residues.
Painting (Interior & Exterior)
Area Preparation:
Protection:Covering all furniture, floors, frames, switches, sockets, and other surfaces with plastic sheets, masking tape, and special protective fabrics.
This is critical to avoid stains.
Movement:Removing or moving furniture to the center of the room for easier access.
Item Removal:Taking down frames, curtains, and lighting fixtures (when necessary).
Surface Preparation (Walls & Ceilings):
Cleaning: Cleaning surfaces of dust, dirt, grease stains, or residues
Scraping/Sanding: Removing loose paint, bubbling, or old wallpaper with a spatula or by sanding.
Repairs:Filling cracks, holes from frames, or other damages with putty.
Sanding:Smoothing the patched spots and the entire surface with sandpaper for a uniform texture.
Priming (Optional but Recommended): Applying a coat of primer. The primer helps the paint adhere better, increases durability, reduces surface absorbency, and ensures better coverage for the subsequent coats of paint.
Painting:
Paint Selection:Choosing the type and shade of paint (emulsion for interiors, acrylic for exteriors, biological, ecological, oil-based, etc.).
Application:The paint is usually applied in two or even three coats, depending on the paint's coverage and the initial state of the surface. Brushes are used for corners and details, and rollers are used for large surfaces.
Drying Time:Sufficient drying time is allowed between coats, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Final Works:
Protection Removal:Careful removal of covers and masking tapes to ensure the paint remains intact.
Cleaning: Cleaning the area of any paint residues and dust.
