Exactly What is Plaster?

Employed for decorating and protecting walls and ceilings in buildings, plaster is a material which has been used since ancient Egyptian times. What most of us call "plaster" in the United Kingdom is normally thought of as the stuff that's used for coating the internal rooms of houses and structures, whilst that which is used on outside walls is known as "render" or "rendering". Plaster compounds normally contain either lime, cement, or gypsum, which all work in relatively similar ways. Mixed together with water to produce a stiff but easily workable paste, plaster is simply a dry, fine powder when it is manufactured. A chemical reaction is caused when the water and the plaster powder are mixed together, and hardening takes place as a result of the heat generated through crystallization. Quality Ware plasterers will provide their own plaster products, but if you want to buy some yourself head to Wickes, British Gypsum, Travis and Perkins, Screwfix or B&Q.

Artex Ware

Even though artex is not as popular in the 21st century as it was in the 1970's and 80's it is still a good way to improve the look of a cracked or uneven ceiling. Back in the day, there were such a lot of tradespeople doing artexing that it was easy to find someone offering this type of service in Ware. Nowadays however, tracking down a plasterer who is prepared to do artexing is not quite as straightforward. The thing that helped its popularity was possibly the wide selection of designs it could be fashioned in, and it seemed to be the case that everyone had their favourite, maybe it might have been stippled, pairs, criss-cross, swirl, scroll, broken leather, circle, bark, basket, medusa or hook & line. There was basically an artex pattern to suit, regardless of your tastes. Every one of these artex patterns can still be carried out today if you're able to track down an artexer of plumber willing to do it. Stay away from "handyman" types who'll just "have a bash". The only drawback of artex, and what probably triggered its demise, is that it's quite hard to repair or patch.

Re-Skimming Ware

Re-skimming or skimming is a thin layer of plaster trowelled over artex, damaged plasterwork or plasterboard. Of all the jobs that plasterers are asked to do, this is one of the most commonplace. In the course of home modifications either pre-existing plastered walls are altered or damaged, or new dry lined walls are built. Such flawed surfaces can easily be transformed into smooth, glass-like finishes by a professional who is skilled in this craft. You should leave this for several days to dry out properly before you do any decorating. You should end up with a perfectly flat and fault-free surface that will last for years to come.(Tags: Re-Skimming Ware, Skimming Ware, Plaster Skimming Ware)

Dry Lining Ware Hertfordshire UK

Certain plasterers in Ware also offer dry lining services, which are needed in plenty of improvement projects around the home. A process that creates a wall surface which doesn't need to be plastered, plasterboard can be affixed to a wood studding or joist, a brick surface or metal Gypframe. Whilst it is feasible to decorate or paint the plasterboard surface as it is, in reality most people opt to have the plasterboard skimmed with a thin plaster coating to give it a smoother and harder finish. With regards to fittings, when fixing plasterboard to timber joists or studding, drywall screws or nails are used, when fixing to a metal framework self-tapping (or Jack-Point screws) are used and when fixing to a masonry or brick wall the "dot and dab" method is used.

Rendering Ware

Rendering is a similar technique to plastering, and is the process by which a mixture of sand, lime, cement and water is applied to external (and now and again interior) walls to achieve a smooth or textured surface. Rendering is a popular method all over Europe and is especially prevalent in the Mediterranean countries. A rendered finish has some fire resistant qualities and is water resistant, although it's mainly used for aesthetic purposes. You can get a longer lasting and more durable surface finish by colouring the render mix itself, however it is quite possible to paint a rendered surface. (Tags: Renderers Ware, Rendering Ware)

Polished Plaster Ware

Polished plaster is essentially the definition given to up-to-date versions of timeless Italian plasterered finishes that have been used to great effect for many centuries. The name "Polished Plaster" is actually used to cover a wide assortment of quality plaster finishes, from rugged looking textured plasters to very highly polished Lucidato, Venetian and Marmorino plasters. This technique is chiefly used on interior ceilings and walls, to give a finished surface that appears like polished limestone, travertine or marble. Polished plaster is sleek and smooth to the touch while offering natural variations of shade and a sense of depth. Additionally, it is possible to mix these types of plasters to obtain distinctive customised finishes. Polished plaster can be coloured or tinted using natural or artificial colourants. Should you wish to create a "marbled" effect in your plaster, or unique designs or colours that don't exist in nature, the ability to tint Venetian plaster is particularly handy.

Screeding Ware

Screeding is a process through which a level, smooth floor surface is formed by the use of a cement mix. Generally screed is put on top of a concrete sub-floor to cover underfloor heating pipes, to be used as a finished hardwearing floor surface or to be covered with an appropriate floor finish (such as floor boards, carpet, vinyl or tiles). This will prolong the life of the whole floor and establish its finish, durability and quality, for many years. An effective screed pump needs to be employed to quickly guarantee an even, smooth mixture of sand, cement and water and to transport (pump) this fine mix straight to its required location, avoiding the need for paraphernalia like wheelbarrows and such like. Hand mixing screed should only be used where small areas are involved. Different kinds of screeds are available including: fast drying screed, structural screed, free-flowing screed, bonded screed, unbonded screed, floor levelling compound and traditional screed.

Plastering contractors in Ware offer a specialised service known as acoustic plastering, aiming to enhance sound insulation and diminish noise transmission within rooms.
