Berkhamsted

Berkhamsted is a medium-sized historic market town around the western edge of the English county of Hertfordshire. Located within the little Bulbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills, it serves predominantly as a commuter town, being 26 miles to the northwest of London. As noted in population data from 2013, the town has a permanent population of roughly 18,100, residing in roughly 7500 households. There are a variety of buildings in residential areas, with 77 percent of household areas being houses or bungalows and 23 percent being flats or maisonettes. Settlements have been in Berkhamsted for over five hundred years, as suggested by archaeological proof of flint working throughout the Neolithic period and metal working during the late Iron Age and Roman periods. While farming, service and light industry were ordinary local occupations in 1986, the largest employers of the town in 2015 were educational institutions and retail. Nearly all of the corporations in the area are based within the nationally recognised Berkhamsted West ward. In 2014, the Academy of Urbanism's Urbanism Awards described the appeal of Berkhamsted's High Street as 'vibrant' and 'bustling', making a 'pleasant' and 'successful' shopping retreat. There is a large array of outlets and food retailers available to citizens and tourists, featuring a mix of independent and commercial chain outlets, cafes, coffee shops, places to eat and bars. For social events, the Rex Cinema provides many current films for the people of Berkhamsted to check out. Being constructed in the art deco style of architecture in 1937, the Daily Telegraph has called the Rex as the UK's most beautiful cinema, and it was declared Britain's Best Cinema in the inaugural Guardian film awards of 2014. For all of your home improvement projects, make sure that you use vetted experts in Berkhamsted to ensure that you get a fantastic quality service.

FAQs

what is plaster made of?

What Is Plaster Made Of?

Plaster is one of the most commonly used materials when it comes to building construction. It’s a crucial component that’s incorporated in coating walls, ceilings as well as partitions and it hardens on drying. Plastering is one of the most ancient building materials which has taken over mud to plaster reed or sapling huts so as to serve as a protection against the elements. Here, we’re going to take a look at the multiple compositions of plaster. These components are very important due to the fact that they form a protective coating on whatever they are used on. They work to protect surfaces such as ceiling and underlying walls from scratches or any form of damage.

Plaster comprises a few materials which includes gypsum, lime or cement and all operates in a similar way. Gypsum is made of calcium sulfate dihydrate and it’s the main component of main forms of plaster, sidewalk chalk, blackboard, drywall and more. Meanwhile, lime plaster is made up of sand, water and lime ( mostly non hydraulic hydrated lime). And lastly, cement which is a mix of suitable plaster, portland cement, sand as well as water.

The plaster is usually produced as a dry powder which is mixed thoroughly with water to create a stiff but also a paste that’s workable immediately before it’s applied to the wall or ceiling.

It’s quite easy to confuse a drywall with a plaster but there are some differences. Not only is plaster a much older style of wall construction than dry wall, but it’s also a lot more expensive than installing a drywall. Plaster walls are also able to provide you with a more durable finish when compared to a drywall and it makes for a better quality finish.

can you plaster over wallpaper?

Can You Plaster Over WallPaper?

If you have wallpaper installed on your wall surface and you’re considering plastering the wall, when you put into consideration the stress involved in removing a wallpaper you may want to consider plastering directly over the wallpaper. This is quite understandable as removing a wallpaper can be quite time consuming and tedious, but plastering directly over wallpaper is a mistake that should never be made. Plastering over wallpaper is in no way a viable option due to the fact that it can only turn out disastrous after a couple of weeks or even days in some cases as the plaster will crack and crumble. As a result, you’ll have to firstly scrape off the wallpaper in order to assist the plaster get to be firmly secured to the wall behind.

When you plaster over a wallpaper, this will make the wallpaper wet and it’ll absorb the moisture. And once the plaster does not have moisture, the only result is for it to crack and start to crumble. Hence, plaster and wallpaper is never a good combination.

Asides from cracking and crumbling, anther issue is that the wallpaper will bubble. You can actually key the wallpaper with the help of a knife and it might look secured for some time, however it’ll eventually crumble and you’d have to scrape off the plaster complete to start all over again. The wallpaper will bubble as the plaster can’t be keyed into a wallpaper and the wallpaper will only work as a barrier between the plaster and the wall.

Overall, plaster always needs to slowly dry off as well as a good and proper surface to grip to. No matter the amount of PVA mix you spread on the wallpaper, it will always remain a barrier. So you’d have to remove the wallpaper completely to get a great result.

✓ Plaster the ceiling. Apply a little quantity of plaster to the edge of your trowel and try to spread it in rows to do the job without much hassle.
