Skimming
Plaster skimming to plasterboards is a popular method of providing a smooth, seamless surface ready to receive decorative treatment. Skim plastering gives many of the advantages of a traditional plaster finish combined with quick turnaround on site. Surface preparation simply involves joint reinforcement and, if tapered edge board is used, flushing-out the tapers. The plaster is trowel-applied to the wall or ceiling surface to a 2mm thickness.

Two coat plastering
The combination of an undercoat plaster with finish plaster is commonly used in both new work and refurbishment.Two coat work has many advantages over render/plaster and skimming.
Two coat dries faster than the traditional render and finish plaster meaning a faster completion, it also shrinks less, reducing the risk of cracking. A wide range of performance undercoat plasters can be used depending on the background to be plastered and the requirements of the finish. Different types of undercoat can be used to; bond to low suction backgrounds, bond to damp treated walls and to set the finish plaster harder to give a greater impact resistance.
