Being flat and smooth is the most important attribute of plastered surfaces, because they're simply a base product onto which other materials are applied. Negligible dents and cracking may be easily filled later on with few issues, but uneven surfaces are difficult to conceal. Hassles with the installation of kitchen units, the fitting of skirting boards, the painting of ceilings and walls and any area of tiling, can result from a poorly plastered area.

You can always tell the finest Ibstock plasterers because they almost always get a polished finish, directly from the trowel. A quick rub down before painting is all that a plastered wall or ceiling should need, it shouldn't ever require sanding. In actual fact, if any significant amount of sanding is required, you can consider that your plasterer was not as skilled as was claimed. If you see the power sanders coming out you should be extremely suspicious.

Ibstock Plastering and Coving

Plastering over an artex ceiling is a typical reason for calling in a plasterer nowadays.

Covering that old artexed ceiling with plaster is something that most Ibstock plasterers will be more than happy to do in order to make it look more fresh and contemporary. On the reverse side, many plasterers will also apply artex to your smooth ceilings if you are wanting to bring back that old style.

As a rookie plasterer it is a wise idea to start your plastering journey by maybe doing a test run on an out-of-sight area or a spare bedroom, especially one that's already got a poorly plastered finish and that cannot be made worse by your efforts. This will be much less stressful for you, and enable you to spend a little while testing out your newly found skills. You'll quite likely make a bit of a mess of plastering on the first couple of attempts, but it's possible to skim a wall surface as many times as you want.

Screeding Ibstock

Screeding in Ibstock UK (LE67)

Some plasterers in Ibstock also provide a floor screeding service, where a smooth, level floor surface is created by the use of a cement and sand mix. Screed is typically put on over a rougher concrete sub-floor to cover underfloor heating pipes, to be left as a wearing floor surface or to take on the final floor finish. This can significantly extend the lifespan of the whole floor and positively affect its finish, quality and durability, for many years. Screed should only be mixed by hand when small areas of floor are being worked on. For larger projects, a good screed pump should be used to ensure a smooth and even mixture of sand, cement and water, which is then pumped directly to the required location. Amongst the various available sorts of screeding are: traditional screed, bonded screed, floor levelling compound, unbonded screed, structural screed, fast drying screed and free-flowing screed.

Polished Plastering Ibstock

Polished Plaster Ibstock (LE67)

Polished plaster is a regular name for the finish of some plasters and for the description of new types of traditional Italian plasterered finishes. Covering anything from rugged looking textured plasters to highly polished Marmorino, Lucidato and Venetian plasters, the term "Polished Plaster" actually covers an array of top quality plaster finishes. Supplying a surface finish that appears just like marble, travertine or limestone, polished plaster is mostly used on interior walls and ceilings. Polished plaster gives a sense of depth using natural variations in shade while being smooth to touch. It's also entirely possible to mix these types of plasters to acquire quite original tailor-made finishes. By using man made or natural colourants, beautiful tints or colours can be applied to the polished plaster finish. The ability to add a tint to Venetian plaster is especially handy when a certain "marbled" design is desired, or when a colour which doesn't exist in nature is the goal. For additional information about polished plaster, you can head over to the Wikipedia polished plaster page.

Plasterboarding (Dry Lining)

Plasterboarding (Dry Lining) Ibstock

There are loads of home remodeling assignments that will need dry lining to be undertaken, and several Ibstock plasterers should be able to tackle this for you. Dry lining is the process where plasterboard is affixed to metal framing, a timber studding or joist or a masonry or brickwork surface to produce a wall surface that doesn't have to be plastered. Sometimes the plasterboard itself can be painted, though generally it will be skimmed with a fine layer of finishing plaster, that can be wallpapered or painted without filling. In terms of fittings, when attaching plasterboard to wood studding or joists, nails or drywall screws are used, when attaching to a masonry or brick wall the "dot and dab" method is used and when fixing to a metal Gypframe self-drilling, self tapping (Jack-Point screws) are used.

Decorative Plastering Ibstock

Decorative Plastering Ibstock

Plastering has been used for decorative purposes ever since the times of the ancient Egyptians. The substances used would obviously have been different in those long forgotten days, when combinations of both clay and mud were used. In London during the thirteenth Century, a form of plaster was applied to the internal walls of houses and shops to help restrict fires from spreading. Buildings of the Georgian and Victorian eras were extensively adorned with mouldings made of plaster. Impressive decorative plaster effects by means of modern materials and age-old techniques can be produced by modern day plasterers today. This involves the application of corbels, cornices, dentils, ceiling roses, coving, brackets and niches.

What is Plaster?

Plaster Products

Plaster is a common building material used for decorating or protecting walls and ceilings in Ibstock, and for producing decorative features. In the UK the term "plaster" normally pertains to a material that is utilized on the insides of structures, whilst the material used on external surfaces is termed "render". The most commonplace forms of plaster normally contain either cement, gypsum, or lime, although all these components work in pretty much the same way. Plaster is a dry powder when manufactured and when needed, is simply mixed with water to form a stiff, easily workable paste just prior to application. The reaction between the water and the plaster powder generates heat through crystallization and the mixture consequently becomes hard. For buying plaster or plastering products you can head to Wickes, B&Q, British Gypsum, Travis and Perkins or Screwfix. (Tags: Plaster Ibstock, Plastering Ibstock, Render Ibstock)
