The result is a smooth quality of surface which is ready for painting or papering. Rendering This is the application of a sand and cement mix to exposed brickwork which offers a good impermeable surface for painting. Internally walls that are outside facing are also rendered, internal facing walls are bonded. Rendering a wall consist of the application of two layers, firstly the scratch coat which offers the second layer a flat and even surface with a good key. The second coat is rubbed down to complete a quality finished surface. Tanking & Waterproof Render Tanking is the application of a continuous water resistant barrier coating on the inside of an existing building, sandwiched within a cavity, or applied to the external surfaces of a property to prevent water ingression. Drylining This term relates to the securing of plasterboards over stud walls, brickwork and ceilings using screws on timber or adhesive on masonry (Dot + Dab). Once drylined the area can be skimmed. Dry lining uses plasterboard fixed to the walls and is therefore a relatively dry process, which can be decorated shortly after completion. Dry lining can be taped and jointed using special paper tape or it can be skim coated with a thin coat of plaster to provide a surface finish that is indistinguishable from hard plaster. Artexing Artex is applied to ceilings & walls to produce a durable, long lasting & artistic finish. On badly cracked or uneven ceilings artex can be used to mask defects & unevenness, giving an old ceiling an almost new appearance.
