Do you have Artex ceilings or walls you want to remove?
Artex surface ceilings and walls have fallen drastically out of fashion since the late nineties and early 2000s, so we wouldn’t blame you if you aren’t a fan of the textures and swirling or broken leather patterns and wish to remove them in the easiest, safest way possible.
Artex is a trading company in the UK, founded in 1935, selling textured coatings for walls and ceilings throughout the country. Their coating products became highly popular under the name and have since been synonymous with almost all textured coating surfaces, no matter the manufacturer or type available.
However, many homeowners tend to replace and remove Artex textured coatings with something that offers a smoother final finish. However, the method you use to rid the walls, floor tiles and ceilings of Artex is significant.
Those intending to knock the ceiling down to its joint compound must know that it will typically take 30 minutes or more. However, this is the dirtiest method and produces a great deal of dust, so it may be best to hire an asbestos specialist company to perform such tasks as they could be dangerous.
Your local professionals and contractors will likely have the protective gear and equipment to safely remove it and dispose of it at a registered waste site. There are a whole host of ways to remove Artex adequately that you may or may not be aware of and many products on the market that could assist you in these projects.
