Years ago, people built houses with plastered walls that were hand-troweled 3 coats thick, required a skilled plasterer and needed at least 30 days to cure before being ready for plastering. They were super slow and very costly to install but beautiful and durable. Better ways had to be invented with the rising need for quick and better housing. People began dressing up their walls, and one of the best ways was using skim coat plaster.

Skim coat plastering is a hybrid of 3 coats of plaster wall in the new world of drywall that provides the ease and speed of drywall while simultaneously delivering the benefits and beauty of older plaster walls. You hang the drywall, then cover the seems using tape before the plasterer applies a thin 1/8 layer of gypsum plaster over the drywall. For a skilled plasterer, you will probably need a hawk and trowel to skim-coat walls. It only takes a paint roller and a squeegee, and you are all set; what are you waiting for?
