What is Alabastine Wall Smooth used for?
Alabastine Wall Smooth is an ideal solution when you’re looking for a professional finish on your walls. It’s used in situations where walls need to be extra smooth before proceeding with decorative tasks like painting or wallpapering. Wall Smooth is especially suitable for indoor walls with small cracks, dents, or slightly rough surfaces. It’s also excellent for plasterboard walls, helping to neatly conceal seams and screw holes. With its smooth texture and easy application, you can prepare the wall for any desired finish, resulting in a sleek and level surface.
How many layers of Alabastine Wall Smooth are needed?
Usually, one layer of Wall Smooth is enough to even out small imperfections. However, for walls with significant damage or noticeable textures, a second layer might be necessary. It’s important to allow the first layer to dry completely and sand it lightly before applying a second layer. This ensures an even smoother and more professional finish. If unsure about the number of layers required, testing a small area first or seeking advice from a specialist is recommended.
What surfaces can Alabastine Wall Smooth be used on?
Alabastine Wall Smooth works best on clean, dry, and grease-free surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion. Walls with small cracks or uneven areas indoors are perfect candidates. It is also suitable for plasterboards, including joints and screw holes, and lightly sanded painted walls like those coated with latex paint. If the surface has textured paint or decorative plaster, Wall Smooth can create a smooth finish, providing an excellent base for further decorations like wallpaper, paint, or decorative plaster.
Is Alabastine Wall Smooth rollable?
Alabastine Wall Smooth is designed for fully smoothing walls efficiently, but it isn’t rollable like paint. Instead, it is typically applied with a trowel, allowing for precision and even distribution across the wall. A roller is not recommended as it lacks the control needed for a professional finish. For best results, follow the provided instructions carefully to achieve a perfect base for further decorative work.
What is the usage per square metre of this product?
The usage of Alabastine Wall Smooth depends on the thickness of the layer and the condition of the surface. On average, around 1.5kg per square metre is used for a 1mm layer thickness. It’s advisable to calculate the required amount based on the area and potential additional layers needed for a flawless result. It’s wise to buy slightly more than estimated to avoid running out during application. Ensuring you have the correct quantity will guarantee a consistent and professional finish.
Which roller and trowel should I use?
Although traditionally applied with a putty knife or trowel, specialised rollers are available to make the application of Wall Smooth easier. These rollers are designed to spread a thin, even layer on the wall. Use the roller to distribute the product over the wall without applying too much pressure. After rolling, use the trowel to smooth out the surface and remove any inconsistencies. This roller-and-trowel combination is especially beneficial for larger surfaces, where speed and efficiency are key. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
Summary
To summarise, Alabastine Wall Smooth offers an efficient way to smooth walls with small imperfections or damage. Its easy application with a trowel and suitability for various surfaces such as plasterboard and painted walls creates a smooth base for further decorative finishes like painting or wallpapering. While it isn’t as rollable as paint, its design ensures a professional result through careful application. By following the instructions and correctly preparing the surface, excellent adhesion and an even result can be achieved.
