Extension Plastering Project Using Traditional Float & Set Technique
Extension Plastering Project Using Traditional Float & Set Technique
We’ve recently completed the plastering stage of an extension project in Dorset using a traditional float and set plastering technique to create strong, solid internal walls with a high-quality finish.
Unlike plasterboard and skim systems, float and set plastering is applied directly onto masonry surfaces using backing coats before being finished with a smooth top coat. This method takes more time and skill but delivers a more durable finish and the solid feel many homeowners prefer in extensions and renovation projects.
