Updating Your Building: Plastering Over Artex
Why Should You Choose a Professional When Plastering Over an Artex Ceiling?
Although Artex ceilings were popular in the past, times have changed. Many of these designs have become outdated and as a result, you might be considering a slight renovation. Plastering over Artex is one of the most common methods, and there are a handful of suggestions to keep in mind if you hope to avoid any headaches during the process. Let us take a look at why choosing the professionals at R&B Plastering is always the best option if you hope to enjoy flawless results.
Is Removing Artex a Viable Option?
First, it is important to determine whether or not removing Artex is the most ideal solution before plastering begins. If you are unsure on the best option for your building, our team can determine if this is an option. Asbestos Artex formulations are also common, so this is another real concern. If you are unsure whether there is any asbestos in Artex materials, it is best to contact R&B Plastering. Our plastering contractors can also provide you with additional insight into how we will address your renovation requirements.
What are the Benefits of Plastering Over Artex?
As we have seen in the previous section, Artex can sometimes contain asbestos. As opposed to enduring a lengthy (and potentially dangerous) removal process, plastering directly over this surface will prevent any asbestos from being released in the future.
However, we also need to consider the aesthetic advantages of a smooth plaster surface. Whether referring to a domestic location or a commercial environment, plaster provides a flawless and uniform appearance. It can also be sealed and painted in order to match existing decor. Modern plaster formulations are quite durable, and when applied properly, these surfaces can last for decades with only minimal maintenance required.
Choosing to Hire Professional Services
Plastering is generally not a do-it-yourself project. This process requires a great deal of skill; especially when dealing with larger or uneven ceiling surfaces. As the finished result must be free of even the smallest faults, choosing a professional plastering service is always the best option.
