Plastering
Plaster skimming is the application of a 3mm thick layer of finishing plaster. A plaster skim finish is a fast and effective way to hide those hairline cracks and dents so many walls acquire over years of abuse from growing families, pets, and the general ravages of time. During property upgrading, a plaster skim finish over otherwise sound existing walls is an effective way to hide those unsightly blemishes and prepare the room for final painting or papering.
In new home extensions and major property refurbishments walls are often constructed using a timber framework. Plasterboards are nailed or screwed on both sides and the interior filled with sound or heat insulation materials. A plaster skim finish is then applied to all boarding to provide a smooth seamless surface ready for decoration
Rendering
House rendering is a coating that goes on top of your home’s outer walls. This external render can come in different styles and materials, from traditional pebbledash and cement options to contemporary acrylic house rendering. Silicone renders are easy to apply, hydrophobic, and flexible (which makes them less likely to crack). However, lime render is a better option for older properties that need to breathe.
