04 — Process

From first coat to top coat

Every good finish is built in layers. Here's how a wall goes from bare board to ready for paint.

  1. Process first coat niche
    01

    Tape & first coat

    Joints are taped and bedded, angles set and every fixing filled — this is where straight lines start.

  2. Process second coat ceiling
    02

    Second coat

    A wider coat feathers the joints out so they blend into the board and won't show through paint.

  3. Feature niches top
    03

    Top coat & sand

    A fine finishing coat, then a careful sand and a check under raking light for any imperfections.

  4. Skim finish wall
    04
