A Smooth, Even Finish Ready for Painting or Wallpapering
Skimming is the process of applying a thin layer of plaster over a wall or ceiling to create a smooth, flawless surface. This technique is ideal for covering imperfections, old plaster, or newly installed plasterboards.
Process:
- Surface Preparation: The existing wall or plasterboard is cleaned and primed to ensure proper adhesion.
- Application of Plaster: A thin coat of high-quality finishing plaster is applied using a trowel, ensuring an even, smooth coverage.
- Finishing & Drying: The plaster is carefully leveled and smoothed out before being left to dry completely, ready for painting or wallpapering.
Benefits:
- Provides a professional, seamless finish.
- Ideal for both new and existing walls.
- Enhances paint adhesion for a long-lasting result.
A Quick, Effective Solution for Clean, Insulated Walls
Dry lining is a modern alternative to traditional wet plastering, involving the attachment of plasterboard to walls or ceilings to create a clean, even surface. It’s a fast and efficient method often used in both residential and commercial properties.
Process:
- Fixing the Plasterboard: Boards are attached to walls using adhesive (dot and dab method) or secured onto timber/metal frames.
- Joint Taping & Filling: Joints between the boards are taped and filled to ensure a seamless appearance.
- Finishing Touches: Once dried, the surface is sanded smooth and ready for decorating.
Benefits:
- Faster than traditional plastering, reducing project time.
- Improves insulation and soundproofing when used with insulation boards.
- Provides a smooth, professional finish with minimal drying time.
