Transforming Textured Ceilings: How Cooper Plastering Delivered a Flawless Finish in Kenilworth Textured ceilings, often known as artex, can make a room feel dated and are increasingly unpopular with modern homeowners. For one family in Kenilworth, the decision to update their large bedroom included removing the textured ceiling to create a smooth, elegant finish. At Cooper Plastering, we specialize in turning outdated or damaged ceilings into flawless, paint-ready surfaces. This project showcases how we transformed the bedroom’s ceiling in just one day, leaving the homeowners delighted with the results. The Challenges of Textured Ceilings for Cooper Plastering Textured ceilings became popular in past decades as a way to hide imperfections. However, they can be challenging to maintain and difficult to remove, particularly if the texture is thick or made from materials like plaster or paint-based artex. Depending on the material and depth of the protrusions, there are several approaches to removing textured ceilings: Scraping: Using a wide blade or scraper to remove the texture layer. Sanding: Ideal for thinner coatings, but it requires proper dust control. Steaming: Softening the texture with steam for easier removal. Skimming: If the protrusions are shallow, applying a fresh layer of plaster over the existing texture can provide a smooth finish without the need for removal. The Kenilworth Project The family’s large bedroom featured a deeply textured ceiling that they wanted replaced with a flat, modern look. Because the property was lived in, special care was needed to ensure minimal disruption and avoid any mess. Preparation We began by protecting the space. The carpets were carefully covered and taped down, and a clear path was established through the house for tools and materials. Ensuring a clean and safe workspace is always a top priority for Cooper Plastering. The Process Assessment: After assessing the texture depth, we determined that skimming over the existing surface was the best option. Application: A fresh layer of high-quality plaster was applied evenly across the ceiling. The key to success was achieving a smooth finish, free from imperfections, ready to be painted once dry. Cleanup: Despite the scale of the job, we left the property spotless, removing all materials and coverings after the work was completed. The Result By the end of the day, the textured ceiling was replaced with a flawless, flat surface. After allowing the plaster to dry for seven days, the ceiling was ready to be painted, transforming the room completely. Why Choose Cooper Plastering?
