thincoat inside

[richie]

been thinking of way s to generate new income .is it a daft idea to say offer a thincoat finish in kitchens refurb job . they do some nice colours might look good in the right sort of place or is a non starter?

orite rich, i've toyed with this myself........a thin-coat finish would be well at home in architect designed buildings with bold chimney breasts and double height spaces etc. couple them with stone and some sexy timbers and you've got some serious eye candy potential for dramatic interior spaces.

i done all inside my fireplace with monocouche (used the old cemrend in millenium silver) and created a bell feature over the opening and done the botton in a brick effect render , done it about 10 years ago and it still looks tidy

So what prep would you need to do this? could you go over existing walls?

 

[richie]

you can on un painted render . cement boards .not sure about unpainted plaster but think you may be able too . with the sas i was told prep coat with mesh .light coat if needed .tint/seal then the colour tex that was by there tec dept for old brickwork .they were supposed to be sending me a bit to try out
