What makes modern craftsmanship stand out?

What makes the painting trade sospecial? At first, we probably think of the painters who come to our house to refresh the wall paint or maybe even re-wallpaper them?

Yes, that is nice! But painting is so much more than painting walls. If we think, for example, of spatula, wiping or wrapping techniques, façade design, stencil techniques, rustic clay plaster or artistic designs such as stucco - then we realize how much art is in modern crafts today!

Tools: Spatula and iPhone

And On top Then there are modern working methods for organizing the company. Whether calculating quotes on site with the Apple iPad or streaming the latest construction projects on Instagram with your smartphone - the field of practical and relevant digitalization is huge!

What should be clear to everyone by now: Craftsmen in the painting trade are artists and entrepreneurs.

Interior finishing: woodchip was a thing of the past

Even in ancient times, it was popular to embellish its interior walls. In addition to a great color, there are many ways to add that certain something to the walls. After all, the look of the walls has a positive influence on the room climate and perception and can therefore significantly increase the feel-good factor.

Spatula technology for that special something

For example, there is a lot of work and a lot of creative experience behind the spatula technique — the unique result of the wall design with an elegant marble look is more than impressive!
Counter design with color gradients — metallic shading spatula technique in a color gradient with shades of green and gold shimmer.

Plancraft Creator Crew Member Denis Fiedler is known for his artistic, extremely noble work.

Digital means connected - Social Media Trends

And what stands out? Work is shared today. And that's on social media - Instagram, YouTube, Facebook.

Modern crafts require entrepreneurship, and accordingly Online marketing. Once we've seen such a wall, we all want to have our own four walls finished, right?

Our creator crew takes you on their work every day. There is no better way to convince your customers of your commitment and quality!

Tradition and modernity go hand in hand

Wall decorations and stucco have also always stood for a sense of style. Even today, they are real eye-catchers and use modern painting to create individual works of art in your own home. Especially for our fans of old building flair, stucco in the form of stucco molding and rosettes or wall stencils on the wall is still the icing on the cake and is still popular today.

But old building also means: individual requirements. The painter arrives at the on-site appointment, takes measurements and gets an idea of the situation. Modern crafts document here directly on the smartphone with clever craftsman software and can later write notes, photos and comments directly into a high quality offer transfer that offers the customer what he/she needs.

Sustainability in the painting trade

But it is not only the look of painting art that makes the painting work stand out. Environmental awareness can no longer be disregarded in modern painting. Ecological renovation is becoming increasingly important. Only ecological paints and materials are used that are environmentally friendly, produced with low energy and transport costs & can be easily disposed of and, ideally, are still biodegradable.
