Skimming refers to the application of a thin layer of wet plaster over existing walls or ceilings. This method can be applied over various surfaces, including old plaster, drywall, or even artexed ceilings. The primary goal of skimming is to create a flat, even surface that prepares walls for painting or wallpaper. It effectively masks imperfections and creates a refined look, making it a popular choice for both homeowners and commercial spaces.
1. Preparation:
We begin by assessing your walls and preparing the surface. This involves cleaning the area and repairing any significant cracks or damage.
2. Mixing the Plaster:
We ensure the perfect consistency, ensuring it adheres well and provides a lasting finish.
3. Application:
Our skilled plasterers will apply the plaster using a trowel, spreading it evenly to achieve the desired thickness.
4. Smoothing:
Once applied, we carefully smooth the surface with precision, ensuring no bumps or imperfections remain.
5. Drying:
We allow the skimming to dry fully, which may take several hours depending on the environmental conditions.
6. Final Check:
After drying, we'll do a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards before the project is complete.
