What is Skimming and Why is it the Ideal Choice for Your Walls?
Proven Reliability and Punctuality
Skimming, also known as a skim coat, involves applying a thin layer of finishing plaster – typically just 2-3mm – over existing plasterboard or old plastered surfaces. Think of it as the final touch that creates a beautifully smooth canvas for painting or wallpapering. It’s the go-to solution for breathing new life into tired walls, concealing imperfections, and ensuring a professional finish after plasterboarding or other repairs.
