Smooth Transition: Transforming Your Space by Covering Artex with Decor Home & Business

Artex, a textured finish popular in the late 20th century, has had its time in the spotlight. However, as design preferences evolve, many homeowners and business owners are looking to update their interiors to achieve a sleeker, more modern look. At Decor Home & Business, we understand the transformative power of plastering, and one of our specialties is covering Artex. In this blog, we’ll explore the art of transforming textured ceilings and walls with our plastering expertise.

The Artex Challenge

Artex was once a popular choice for its ability to hide imperfections and add a unique texture to walls and ceilings. However, what was once trendy is now often considered outdated and cumbersome. The textured surface can make a space feel smaller and more dated, making it less appealing to contemporary tastes. That’s where Decor Home & Business comes in.

The Decor Home & Business Solution

  1. Assessment and Planning

Our first step in covering Artex is a thorough assessment of the existing surface. We’ll evaluate the type and condition of the Artex texture to determine the best approach for covering it. This step is crucial because it helps us identify any potential challenges and select the most appropriate materials and techniques.

  1. Preparation

Before applying new plaster or other covering materials, we prepare the surface meticulously. This includes cleaning, sanding, and priming the Artex to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. We also take the necessary precautions to protect your furniture and flooring during the process.

  1. Choice of Covering Material

Depending on your preferences and the condition of the Artex, we offer several options for covering it. These may include:

  • Skim Coating: A thin layer of plaster or joint compound is applied to create a smooth surface.
  • Drywall Overlays: Installing new drywall sheets over the Artex can be an effective way to achieve a clean, flat surface.
  • Texture Replication: If you’d like to maintain some texture but update the look, we can replicate a modern texture style.
  1. Quality Workmanship : At Decor Home & Business, we take pride in our craftsmanship. Our skilled plastering professionals use their expertise to ensure a flawless finish. We pay attention to every detail, from seams and corners to smooth transitions.
  2. Paint and Finish

Once the covering is complete, we provide painting and finishing services to give your space the final touch it needs. You can choose from a wide range of colours and finishes to match your interior design vision.

Benefits of Covering Artex

  • Modern Aesthetic: Covering Artex can instantly modernise your space, making it more attractive to potential buyers or clients.
  • Improved Lighting: Smoother surfaces reflect light more evenly, enhancing the brightness and ambiance of your interior.
  • Easy Maintenance: Smooth surfaces are easier to clean and maintain compared to textured ones, making your life more convenient.
