What is Skimming?

Skimming is when you apply a thin coat to a wall or ceiling to give it a new lease of life. It’s a plastering technique that you use to smoothen a surface for decoration or for painting.

Achieving a smooth skimmed finish is a tough ask, especially when you don’t have the required experience.

This is why going with a professional skimming plasterer is the right thing to do.

Difference Between Plastering and Skimming

Plastering is the process of applying three different layers to a surface. There is a necessary waiting time between every layer to let the previous coat dry.

So, plastering can take time, effort, and skill.

Skimming is an evolved form of plastering where you apply a single coat instead of three, making the work easier and producing quick results.

Skimming Over Plasterboard

Plasterboards are a quicker alternative to traditional plastering. Let’s say you want to paint a wall. By installing plasterboard, you can skip the plastering process and would be able to directly apply the paint.

However, to achieve a flat surface, the joints between the boards are taped, which can result in a rough finish.

This prompts people to have a skimming service apply a thin layer over the entire surface to make it smooth.

After skimming, the plasterboard looks glossy and smooth, rendering it perfect for a coat of paint.

Restoring Walls and Ceilings

Is your wall showing drill holes, cracks, knocks, and other signs of wear and tear? Do you want to re-decorate that wall?

Skimming is the solution for you.

Minor damages to the walls and surfaces of an old property are common. Normally, you can deal with most of the imperfections by rubbing and filling the surface.

But, what if the damage is too much for you to fix yourself?

In that case, you should go with professional plastering and skimming services like CA Plasterers.

Our experienced team of skimming experts will fill in the cracks and smoothen any surface with effective skimming techniques.

Can You Do Skimming as a DIY Project?

You can do your skimming projects yourself if you can take out the required time and use the right techniques.

Otherwise, outsourcing it to a professional skimming plasterer is the right way to go.

The Benefits of Skimming Before Painting

Consistent Paint Color

When you skim a wall before applying a layer of coat, the color of the paint appears consistent at all angles.

Whereas, a non-skimmed wall will show color irregularities when light is incident on it from different angles.

In that case, the paint may appear to be of different colors, which you probably don’t want.

Rejuvenates Old Walls

Let’s say you have an old wall with minor damages and blemishes that paint can’t cover. It doesn’t look pleasant and can use some decoration.

Skimming can effectively mask all imperfections on your wall, providing a perfect foundation for a new coat of paint.
