Skimming
Skimming is where a wall is plastered with a layer of thin coat. It is usually applied to an existing plastered wall to smooth the surface area. It’s an extremely difficult task therefore, shouldn’t be attempted by anyone that isn't a professional otherwise the wall or ceiling might end up looking worse then before!
Dry-lining
Dry-lining is applying plasterboard to a wall which, gives you a smooth finish to decorate immediately. It's much easier to get a good result this way than with wet plaster and it's an easier alternative to completely re-plastering.
Coving
Coving is a strip of material with various profiles used to cover transitions between surfaces like for example, where the ceiling meets the wall or for decoration. It is usually made from solid milled wood or plaster, but may also be of plastic or reformed wood.
Metal frame ceilings
