What Exactly is Skimming, and When Do You Need It?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, also known as a skim coat, is the application of a thin layer of finishing plaster (typically 2-3mm) over existing plasterboard or plastered surfaces. This creates a flawlessly smooth surface that's ideal for painting or wallpapering. Skimming is commonly used in several situations:
- New plasterboard: After dry lining, skimming provides the perfect finish ready for decoration.
- Damaged or uneven walls: Skimming can rejuvenate tired walls, covering imperfections and creating a fresh start.
- Artex removal: Skimming is often used to cover textured surfaces like Artex, creating a smooth, modern look.
