Older Woods Corner properties sometimes still have original lath and plaster or lime-based walls, which need a different approach to a modern gypsum job. We assess the Woods Corner wall build-up on-site before recommending the right system for that particular Woods Corner property, a thin coat, usually 2 to 3mm, trowelled over plasterboard or an existing base coat and worked to a hard, glass-smooth finish.
