Artexing in Moor Row

Artex is a product utilised for decorating surfaces within the inside of homes. It is usually employed to administer a textured surface to ceilings. Artex continues to be fashionable instead of smooth plaster ceilings, and a specialist painter and decorator can apply artex in various different textured design appearances. Artex identifies a particular brand, however there are additional manufacturers who make similar materials. Older artex ceilings may be fixed as well, with many different products and applicators available for purchase to make this method as straightforward as possible. There is a number of different alternatives for the sorts of texture which artex can be used to create. Stipple, swirl, or shell effects could be applied, all of which can be carried out as a Do It Yourself job relatively easily. Specialist painters and decorators can discuss with you what design would complement your area, and ensure that artex is administered in a quality and consistent finish. Artex can be painted over, and deciding on a shade that matches the texture of the surface area can invigorate a tired ceiling and breathe life into an area.

Moor Row

Moor Row is a village situated in North West England. It is in Cumbria and lies on a minor road off the A595 road south of Whitehaven. Moor Row is a residential community situated in between Whitehaven as well as Egremont on Cumbria's coastal plain. The background of Moor Row goes back to at least 1762, however it was the 19th century exploration of iron ore around that built the 'row of houses on a moor'. Cornish tin miners relocated here to work the mines, and also their existence is noted in a variety of road names such as Penzance Street. One street, Dalzell, is named after Thomas Henry Dalzell, a mine proprietor. The village name probably refers to the Scalegill street houses, which are noted on an 1860 Ordnance Survey map. The 1859 houses on Dalzell Street are thought to be the oldest of the terraced rows. The village has actually grown in the 20th century, adding modern suv homes to the mix as well as is remaining to do so in the 21st century.

FAQs

Can you plaster over artex?

If your artex ceiling is looking tired or you just fancy a change, you can try plastering over your artex. You have two options when it comes to plastering over your artex: plasterboard or skimming.

Covering your ceiling with plasterboard is a good option if you suspect the artex may contain asbestos. If done carefully, it doesn’t involve disturbing the artex, reducing the risk of asbestos exposure.

You also have the option to skim over your ceiling. The first steps to this involve removing loose and flaking parts, cutting off stipples and sanding your ceiling down. So, if there’s a chance your artex ceiling may contain asbestos, this isn’t the right solution for you. However, if you’re sure there’s no asbestos in your ceiling, then sanding down and skimming over your ceiling can be a great way to create an attractive result.

It’s worth noting that both putting up plasterboard and skimming plaster can be difficult jobs. Although possible to DIY, you’re likely to get much better results if you hire a professional.

What is artex?

Artex is a type of interior surface coating, similar to plaster. It’s used to create decorative textured finishes on ceilings and walls, so it takes longer to dry than plaster.

Artex is actually a brand name, but it’s used to refer to similar products made by other manufacturers too. It was particularly popular in the 1970s, but is still used to create attractive wall and ceiling finishes today.

Does artex contain asbestos?

Artex was originally made using white asbestos to make it stronger. However, this stopped in the mid-1980s, and the use of asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, due to its extreme health risks. So, any artex you buy today won’t contain asbestos.

If you have an artex ceiling or wall that was created before 1999, it may have asbestos in it. This won’t be a health hazard if you leave it undisturbed, so it’s not necessary to remove it. However, if you want to get rid of or alter your artex ceiling or wall, you must get it tested to check if it has asbestos in or not first. If it does, you’ll need to hire a qualified professional to work on it.

How to paint an artex ceiling?

It’s possible to paint your artex ceiling if you want to smarten it up or make it a different colour.

If it’s never been painted before, you’ll need to paint it with a PVA-based solution or water-thinned paint layer to start with. You may want to scrape or sand off any loose or peeling patches beforehand, but only do this if you’re sure that the artex doesn’t contain any asbestos.

Once you’ve done this, follow with two coats of your paint of choice – ideally an emulsion. If your artex ceiling has been painted before then you can paint directly without priming. However, if you’re painting over a particularly bold colour with a lighter one, you might want apply a layer of white paint first.
