However, have you heard the less common term that they require skimming?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to bust the misconceptions about the difference between these 2 terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Plastering<\/h2>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, plastering is the term offered to the whole trade. This means that skimming is really a method that a plasterer utilises, rather than plastering and skimming being totally separate terms.<\/p>\n<p>Plasterers perform great deals of different types of plastering and need to be very well-informed in their trade. For example, some materials need more coats of plaster than others, and there are lots of different methods associated with doing a good job.<\/p>\n<p>There are different kinds of plasters that plasterers must understand how to use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cement plaster:<\/strong> Made from cement, sand and water and generally used on walls where masonry work has been done<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lime plaster:<\/strong> Made from lime and water<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gypsum plaster:<\/strong> Made with water and calcium sulphate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/plastering.anytrades.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/skimming-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"skimming vs plastering\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-95 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pin\/535717318148687827\/\">Image via Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Skimming<\/h2>\n<p>Skimming is the name provided to a plastering method where a wall is plastered with a layer of thin coat.<\/p>\n<p>It is usually applied to an existing plaster to smooth the surface area. It&#8217;s an extremely difficult task and shouldn&#8217;t be attempted by an amateur DIYer as the wall or ceiling might end up looking worse than previously!<\/p>\n<p>The white layer of lime which is used to rough cement is called a skim coat. The plasterer uses various methods to make the surface area smooth, and it might depend on the tradesman&#8217;s proficiency. Then the skim coat can be painted to make it look far more appealing.<\/p>\n<p>So overall, skimming is a subset of plastering. They are both used to decorate structures and increase the durability of a wall, but skimming is done to update an old building whereas plastering is done to a new one.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference between skim and plaster is that plaster surface areas are constantly rough whereas a skimmed surface area is smooth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard people saying that they want their walls plastering.
