Hello all,
No plastering posts recently, but completed last house and moved again so new project time
Looking to knock two rooms into one large breakfast room, just with removal of a stud wall in between.
There is coving around the ceiling in each room which will need joining where the stud comes out but also quite a deep artex pattern to cover.
The coving lip looks about 6mm high.
What would you guys recommend?
Was thinking it may need a tight bonding coat first to take out the high artex pattern and with skim on top - but this will take most of this lip height.
The same gap currently matches against the wall edge too, but if I plaster and reduce the ceiling gap alone, it may look unbalanced, if you know what I mean.
So another option would be to take coving off and replace after skimming. I think it's made of a plaster rather than polystyrene or anything like that.
The area is quite big - approx 4m x 2.5m in each space.
This is a new one for me, so would like to know options.
Thanks!
