Tarbert

Tarbert is a village in the west of Scotland, in the Argyll as well as Bute council location. It is developed around East Loch Tarbert, an inlet of Loch Fyne, and crosses the isthmus which links the peninsula of Kintyre to Knapdale as well as West Loch Tarbert. Tarbert had a recorded population of 1,338 in the 2001 Census. Tarbert has a lengthy history both as a harbour and also as a calculated point guarding accessibility to Kintyre and the Inner Hebrides. The name Tarbert is the anglicised kind of the Gaelic word tairbeart, which essentially translates as "carrying across" and describes the narrowest strip of land in between 2 bodies of water over which items or entire boats can be lugged (portage). In freights were released from vessels berthed in one loch, carried over the isthmus to the various other loch, packed onto vessels berthed there and also delivered onward, allowing seafarers to stay clear of the sail around the Mull of Kintyre. Tarbert was anciently part of the Gaelic overkingdom of Dál Riata as well as safeguarded by three castles-- in the village centre, ahead of the West Loch, and also on the south side of the East Loch. The ruin of the last of these castles, Tarbert Castle, still exists and also controls Tarbert's skyline. Around the year 1098 Magnus Barefoot, King of Norway, had his longship carried across the isthmus at Tarbert to signify his belongings of the Western Isles. Despite its difference as a tactical garrison during the Middle Ages, Tarbert's socioeconomic success came throughout the Very early Modern duration, as the port developed into an angling town. At its elevation, the Loch Fyne herring fishery drew in hundreds of vessels to Tarbert.

FAQs

Can plaster cover Artex?

Plastering is suitable to cover most Artex. If it’s shallow Artex, it may be covered by skimming plaster on top. If the pattern of the Artex is too deep, you may need to use plasterboard to cover it or if you want to remove it entirely, you will need to use a wallpaper steamer.

How do I fix cracks in my walls?

Plastering will fix small cracks in walls. Very small cracks may be fixed by simply reskimming plaster. More serious cracks will usually mean that you need to use new plasterboard or backing plaster. Larger jobs or deep cracks may need an experienced plasterer to come in.

can you plaster over tiles?

Can You Plaster Over Tiles?

Yes, it’s absolutely possible to plaster over tiles but just because is possible doesn’t mean you should. Plastering over tiles is an option but it’s not recommended by experts due to several reasons. A good example is the fact that a tiled environment is in no way a suitable environment that can serve as a good bonding surface for a plaster. For the success of a plastering project, there’s the need for the surface to be able to bond to the PVA base coat. Due to fact that most tiles are slippery in nature and also lack of the ability to be able to absorb moisture, the PVA base coat layer will not be able to bond to the tiled surface, which will ultimately make for a weak surface upon the application of the plaster. Consequently, the plaster will easily flake and fall from the wall.

The inability to drill into the tiled wall surface after plastering is one of the major disadvantages that also arises when you decide to plaster over tiled surfaces. Most tiled surfaces are found in kitchens and bathrooms which are going to need appliances such as sinks, lavatories, kitchen counters and lots more. These appliances are designed to be installed on solid surfaces which would not be an easy task to carry out on tiles knowing there would definitely be great cracks or damages.

The best tip you’ll get if you’re considering to plaster on a tiled surface, is that detaching tiles from a surface can easily be done with a hammer and chisel, and that would save you a host of problems later in the future. However, if you still wish to plaster on your tiled walls, then you best bet would be to get a Blue Grit bonding agent. It works better than PVA and only needs one coat.

What types of plastering are there?

There are several different kinds of plastering. ‘Dot and dab’ refers to a base layer of plasterboard which is attached to a wall using ‘dabs’ of adhesive. ‘Floating’ is a technique where a backing or undercoat plaster is applied to walls. ‘Skimming’ or ‘reskimming’ refers to the very thin final decorative layer of plaster.
