What Is Skim Coating?

A happy compromise between a three-coat plaster and a simple tape-down and coat of the seams between wallboards — skim coating is the simple process of applying one layer of plaster that is 1/8 of an inch thick to the wallboards.

This application is ideal for homeowners and business owners whose walls are unlikely to see heavy wear and tear, and those with a limited budget looking to cut costs. A skim coating of plaster can also be primed and painted to any color you wish, which makes it ideal for those who wish to save money without sacrificing an aesthetically pleasing room inside your home or business.
