Achieve Glass-Smooth Ceilings in Sydney with Professional Skim Coating & Dustless Sanding

What is Skim Coating? Skim coating is a plastering technique used to smooth damaged, textured, or recently scraped ceilings to create a flawless surface for painting. Elyment Property Services applies a thin layer of joint compound over the entire ceiling surface in Sydney homes to conceal imperfections, restoring a Level 5 finish.

Why is Skim Coating Necessary After Scraping? Scraping a "popcorn" or vermiculite ceiling rarely leaves a paint-ready surface. The underlying drywall often has gouges, tape marks, or rough joints that were previously hidden by texture.

Surface Restoration: Fills deep scratches caused by scraper blades during the removal process. Uniformity: Creates a consistent texture across the entire room, eliminating patchy areas. Modern Aesthetic: Provides the "glass-smooth" look required for modern matte ceiling paints. What is the Process of Skim Coating and Sanding? Elyment Property Services follows a strict four-stage protocol to ensure durability and finish quality.

Preparation: Floors and furniture are completely covered; the substrate is sealed with a bonding primer. Application: A high-quality topping compound is troweled over the entire surface. Sanding: Once dry, the surface is machine-sanded using dustless extraction systems to ensure a perfectly flat plane. Priming: A final sealer binder is applied to ensure paint adhesion. How Much Does Skim Coating Cost in Sydney? Skim coating costs in Sydney typically range between $25 and $55 per square metre , depending on the condition of the substrate and ceiling height.
