plastering-smooth and fresh every time
Plastering or skimming can be needed for many reasons. These could be a result of simple renovation project, or after creating new partitions with stud walls or even just to cover old cracks, repair walls etc.
Another aspect of it is outside plastering, namely rendering. The goal in these situations is not only to achieve decorative effect, but also insulating from the elements, as the render provides an extra layer of protection against rain, cold or even heat.
When creating a plan for any renovation, it is crucial to asses the need for full plastering (taking back to brick and restarting), or just over-skimming existing render/plaster. This depends on the state of the area that needs to be refurbished and the extent of repair required. The goal is to achieve a smooth and fresh finish that will be suitable for any type of decoration without additional effort. Paint or wallpaper, the plaster needs to be smooth and lump free for best overall results.
The rendering option is always a good idea, when your brickwork is not in a great condition, or you’d rather have the option to customize your house by adding colour to your curb appeal. A different reason could be after an extension, to match the rest of the house (or vice versa).
In all cases, the extra benefit is that you would get another layer of protection against moisture, wind and sun, which in the long run is beneficial for your energy bills and condition of your walls, as they are preserved better.
The freshly plastered home is always coming with the excitement of new chapter in the properties history, as it is ready do be decorated and get the bespoke stump, that only the owner’s taste can give to a house.
It is the go to way to refresh your house. Whether after extension, partitioning, opening up the living space into a modern kitchen-lounge or just renovation. It removes old smells, moisture residue, cracks etc, and makes ready for decoration and enjoyment.
