This technique is often used as a final step in the plastering process, where a basecoat or backing plaster has already been applied. The skimming plaster, which can also be called multifinish or board plaster, is designed to follow the contours of the underlying surface, making it essential that the base is well-prepared and free from significant imperfections
Two coat plastering is a traditional plastering method that involves applying two distinct layers of plaster to achieve a smooth, durable finish on walls and ceilings.
Re-skimming is a specific plastering technique that involves applying a new thin layer of plaster over an existing plastered surface
Dry lining is a construction technique used to finish interior walls and ceilings as an alternative to traditional wet plastering.
Plasterboarding is the process of installing sheets of plasterboard (drywall or gypsum board) onto walls and ceilings to create smooth, finished surfaces for interior spaces. This technique involves measuring, cutting, and securing the plasterboard to a framework or existing surfaces, followed by jointing and finishing to prepare the area for decoration. Plasterboarding is known for its speed, versatility, and ease of installation compared to traditional wet plastering methods.
Timber and metal stud partitions are non-load bearing interior wall systems used to divide spaces within a building. They consist of vertical studs (made of either timber or metal) fixed between horizontal top and bottom tracks or plates, with plasterboard or other sheet materials attached to both sides to create the wall surface. These partition systems provide a framework for insulation, electrical wiring, and plumbing, while offering flexibility in interior layout design.
A suspended plaster ceiling is a secondary ceiling installed below the main structural ceiling, consisting of a metal framework suspended by wires from the overhead structure, which is then covered with plasterboard and finished with plaster.
Coving is defined as a concave molding that forms a junction between a wall and a ceiling. It typically features a curved profile, often resembling a quarter-circle, and is used to create a smooth transition between the two surfaces. Coving can be made from various materials, including plaster, wood, or synthetic materials, and serves both aesthetic and functional purposes in interior design by hiding joints and providing a decorative finish
A media wall is a custom-built wall or structure in a living space designed to house and showcase audio-visual equipment and entertainment systems.
