Plasterers March

Artex March

In the past, there were such a lot of people doing artexing it was easy to locate someone offering this type of service in March. Nowadays however, tracking down a plasterer who is prepared to do artexing isn't quite as straightforward. With designs like basket, pairs, medusa, circle, stippled, hook & line, criss-cross, broken leather, bark, swirl or scroll, there seemed to be something for everybody. Artex patterns were available to suit any personal preference or taste.

Decorative Plastering

Plastering is by no means a modern invention and was being done by the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans thousands of years ago. Blends of both clay and mud would have been used in those long gone days. In 13th Century London, a form of plaster was spread on the interior walls of houses and buildings to help restrict fires from spreading. Buildings of the Victorian and Georgian periods were extensively decorated with mouldings and features made from plaster. Skilled plasterers working today are able to produce incredible effects by combining modern day materials with age-old methods. This may include the installation of ceiling roses, niches, cornice finishes, corbels, coving, brackets and dentils.

Polished Plaster March

Polished plaster is essentially the term applied to contemporary versions of timeless Italian plasterered finishes that have been used to good effect for many centuries. Covering anything from rugged textured plasters to really highly polished Lucidato, Venetian and Marmorino plasters, the term "Polished Plaster" in fact covers an array of premium quality plaster finishes. Implemented chiefly on interior walls and ceilings, polished plaster is intended to deliver a surface finish that looks like polished marble, limestone or travertine. Polished plaster delivers a feeling of depth by using natural shade variations while remaining smooth and sleek to the touch. By the mixing of these various sorts of plaster compounds it is actually possible to come up with unique bespoke finishes which can be used to good effect. With the use of natural or artificial colourants polished plaster can take on eye-catching colours or tints. Should you want to achieve a "marbled" effect in your polished plaster, or custom designs or colours that do not exist in nature, the ability to add tinting to Venetian plaster is particularly advantageous.

Screeders March

Screeding entails the application of a sand and cement mix, to create a level, smooth floor surface. Screeding is usually put on over a rougher concrete sub-floor to be covered with a floor finish (such as floor boards, vinyl, carpet or tiles), to encase underfloor heating pipes or to be used as a finished hardwearing floor surface. This will help to prolong the lifespan of the whole floor and positively affect its quality, durability and finish, for years to come. Screed should only be mixed by hand where relatively small areas of flooring are involved. For bigger areas, a decent screed pump needs to be used to guarantee an even and smooth blend of sand, cement and water, which can then be pumped directly to the required location.

What is Plaster?

A frequently used building material that's employed for protecting and decorating wall and ceiling surfaces, plaster has been around for hundreds of years. What most of us call "plaster" in the United Kingdom is generally looked at as the stuff which is used for coating the interior rooms of houses and buildings, while that which is used on outside walls is referred to as "render" or "rendering". Plaster compounds typically contain either lime, gypsum, or cement, which all work in pretty similar ways. A fine, dry powder at the time of manufacture, when required plaster is mixed together with water to create a stiff, easy to work paste. The reactions between the plaster powder and water generates heat through crystallization and the mix consequently becomes hard. (Tags: Plaster March, Plastering March, Render March)

Acoustic Plastering March

Acoustic plastering is a specialist service offered by plasterers in March to improve sound insulation and reduce noise transmission within rooms. A specially formulated plaster containing sound-absorbing fibres or additives is used during the application. An acoustically balanced environment can be achieved by using acoustic plaster to control echo and reverberation. Recording studios, theatres, conference rooms or classrooms are common spaces where noise control is crucial, making it a frequent application. The unique properties of acoustic plaster effectively enhance sound quality and contribute to a more comfortable and quieter atmosphere in any given space.

Acoustic plastering goes beyond technical excellence, revealing a visual subtlety that enhances its auditory finesse. Differing from traditional sound-absorbing materials that tend to be noticeable due to their looks, acoustic plaster harmoniously blends into the current interior design. Enhancing its acoustic attributes in a subtle manner, the space's aesthetic integrity remains intact through the application of different textures and colours for finishing. (41206)
