Plastering for smooth walls and ceilings
Plastering (stucwerk) gives old, cracked walls or new plasterboard a smooth, even coat. After that, you can paint or wallpaper. We plaster a single wall, one room or the whole house.
Why choose us for your plastering?
Plastering is often one step in a larger job. A new wall goes in, a ceiling is replaced or there is painting to do afterwards. We carry out all of those steps, so you do not need to arrange a carpenter or painter separately. What do your walls look like now?
From bare surface to smooth wall
A clean, sound surface
Plaster only bonds well to a clean, sound surface. So we first remove loose material, fill cracks and prime the wall. For smooth or highly absorbent surfaces, we choose a primer to match. Then comes the coat of plaster, with straight corners and edges.
After plastering, the coat needs to dry thoroughly. How long that takes depends on the thickness of the coat and on the room itself. Only then can it be painted or wallpapered. Would you like us to do the painting as well? Then we plan both jobs so that one follows on from the other. When we have finished, we go over the work with you. That way, you can see straight away whether everything is as you wanted.
Smooth or textured, to suit the room
Paint-ready, wallpaper-ready or textured
Paint-ready plaster is smooth enough to paint once it has dried. Wallpaper-ready plaster has a slightly less fine finish, because wallpaper covers small irregularities. If you would like more texture, you can choose a textured plaster (spachtelputz) or another decorative plaster. We discuss beforehand which finish suits your room.
Plastering rarely stands on its own. In a renovation, it often follows new plasterboard walls, and the painting comes after it. Above the tiling in bathrooms and toilets, we plaster the walls. Outside, a facade can be given a coat of render as part of a facade renovation. Because we also carry out those other parts, you do not have to arrange who comes when.
Plastering in the living room, hallway and loft
What does a smooth wall look like in a living room, a hallway or a loft? That also depends on the light falling across it and on the paint on top. Photos show you what a smooth, spray or textured finish does.
