Plasterer Ifold

Some plastering work is often needed, even on the most modest of home restoration tasks. Usually it will be applying some screeding, installing coving or mouldings before decorating, plaster skimming some dry lining or plastering over an old artexed ceiling. Do not imagine however that the above are the only plastering jobs which may be required, as there are many more possibilities.

Studying a portfolio of proficiently accomplished work is a great way to determine the quality of any potential Ifold plasterers, you need to locate someone who knows what they're up to. Without exceptions, you want to avoid using "cowboys" for such work. Although it may not always be immediately apparent, poor quality plastering can result in big problems down the line.

Any defects in your freshly plastered walls and ceilings will soon show up when a coat of paint is brushed onto it. Your newly plastered surfaces will probably look even worse with the sun shining on them. It should always be possible to find competent plasterers in Ifold, so why choose a bad one?

Plastering must be smooth and flat, considering that it's simply a base on which other materials are applied. It's very simple to fill and repair any minor cracks and imperfections, but it is hard to disguise inherently irregular surfaces. An unevenly plastered area will cause severe complications with kitchen or bathroom tiling, the fitting of skirting boards, the installation of kitchen units and the wallpapering and painting of ceilings and walls.

You can always tell the busiest Ifold plasterers because they consistently get a perfect finish, directly from the trowel. A brief rub down before decorating is all that a plastered ceiling or wall should need, it shouldn't ever require sanding. If any degree of vigorous sanding is needed to flatten out the plastered surfaces, they weren't properly done to begin with. The alarm bells should certainly be ringing out if electric sanding machines are being used with any frequency.

Covering up an artexed ceiling, is one of a plasterers most commonly requested tasks nowadays. A widely used form of finish in Ifold during the Seventies and Eighties, artex is to some degree out of favour today. Plastering over that artex ceiling to make it look more sleek and modern is something that most plasterers in Ifold will be more than happy to do. If however, you want to bring a bit of that 1970's style back into your home, most plasterers will be just as glad to apply artex as they are to hide it.

DIY Plastering Ifold: Although when you have plastering work which has to be undertaken in your property in Ifold, it is better to employ an experienced plasterer to tackle it, it is quite possible to have a go yourself, if you have the confidence and are reasonable at do-it-yourself. Choosing a wall that already has an inaccurately plastered finish is advisable to begin with, so your amateurish plastering endeavours can only make it better. An out-of-sight area or a spare bedroom would be a good place to begin. This will enable you to try out your newly found skills and will be a lot less stressful than tackling a wall that everybody can see. It is possible to re-plaster a wall as many times as you want to a degree, and you can quite easily have another go if you do not do a decent job right off the bat.

If you do not want to go to the extreme length of taking an actual plastering course, you should be able to get some good tips and hints by viewing YouTube tutorials, although of course it isn't always quite so simple as it's made to look in the videos. Practice makes perfect as the saying goes, and plastering is no exception - hence the more you practice the more confident and adept you get. Following the tried and true ways is usually best when you are plastering, although through trial and error you may even develop your own methods for getting that perfect plastered finish. Since plastering is all about self-confidence, the more you do it, the more confident you'll get. You should be able to start plastering the main walls of your house when you've perfected the art to a standard you're satisfied with. If you mess it up, you've still got the option of contacting a competent Ifold plasterer to put it all right.

Rendering Ifold

Rendering Ifold: Rendering is the method where a mixture of cement, lime, sand and water is applied to walls (both interior and exterior), to obtain a smooth or textured surface, with a technique which is quite similar to plastering. A popular technique all around Europe, rendering is particularly common in the Mediterranean countries, especially Spain, Greece and Italy. A rendered finish is mainly used for aesthetic purposes but is also waterproof and has got some fire resisting properties. There are a couple of ways that colour can be put on to a rendered wall, either it can be painted as soon as it's properly dry, or the colour can be added to the render mix itself, producing a finished surface that is much more durable and long lasting.

Dry lining (plasterboarding) is frequently required in home refurbishment projects, and there are some plasterers in Ifold who offer this particular service. By fixing plasterboard to Gypframe metal framing, a wooden studding or a masonry or brickwork surface, a surface is produced that does not have to be plastered. Sometimes the plasterboard itself can be decorated, although generally it will get a fine skimming with a fine layer of finishing plaster, that can be papered or painted without the need for filling. As for fittings, when attaching to a masonry or brick wall "dot and dab" drywall adhesive is used, when attaching to a metal Gypframe self-drilling, self tapping (Jack-Point screws) are used and when fixing plasterboard to timber stud or joists, drywall screws or nails are used.

Polished Plastering Ifold

Highly popular as of late, polished plaster is a modern form of timeless Italian plasterered finishes. The phrase covers a whole selection of decorative plaster finishes - from the extremely highly polished Venetian plaster, Marmorino and Lucidato to the textured polished plasters. This technique is mainly used internally, on walls and ceilings, to give a finish that looks like polished travertine, limestone or marble. Polished plaster offers natural shade variations delivering a feeling of depth while still smooth to the touch. By the mixing of these various types of plaster compounds it's possible to develop distinct bespoke finishes that can be utilized to great effect. With the use of artificial or natural colourants polished plaster can be given appealing tints or colours. The capability to add a tint to Venetian plaster is particularly handy when a certain "marble" style is desired, or when a colour that doesn't exist naturally is the goal.
