Skim Wall Decoration

Gypsum based plasterwork must always be thoroughly dry before decorating, although a coat of permeable paint can be applied in the interim. Plaster surfaces can be decorated with most proprietary paint finishes and will accept the majority of wall covering adhesives. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations in respect of applied decorative treatments.
