Textured alfresco walls skimmed to a smooth plaster finish

Existing Dulux AcraTex texture-coated alfresco walls skimmed and finished smooth, ready for painting as part of the owner’s plan to bring the room into the home.

    Problem
    The external alfresco area had walls finished in a Dulux AcraTex texture coating. With the owner planning to add new internal doors and make the space feel more like a room within the house, the textured finish needed to be changed to a smooth interior-style surface.

    The external alfresco area had walls finished in a Dulux AcraTex texture coating. With the owner planning to add new internal doors and make the space feel more like a room within the house, the textured finish needed to be changed to a smooth interior-style surface.

    The walls were prepared and skimmed with AcraPatch Fine, then finished with setting plaster to achieve a smooth, flat surface ready for painting. The new doors form part of the owner’s wider conversion and are not shown as completed work in these photographs.
