When it comes to achieving a smooth, flawless, and long-lasting paint finish, screeding is the unsung hero that often gets overlooked. At Touchstone Paints, we’ve seen countless cases where skipping this vital step led to disappointing results—even with the best paint products.
What is Screeding?
If you’re planning a painting project, don’t pick up that brush until you’ve read this!
Screeding is the process of applying a thin, even layer of material (such as POP or antifungal screeding paste) over a wall or ceiling to smooth the surface before painting. It’s the foundation of a professional finish, especially for rough or uneven walls.
Screeding Levels and Smooths the Wall
Walls are rarely perfect. After plastering, bumps, holes, or cracks often remain. Screeding acts as a corrective coat that fills in these imperfections, leaving a clean, even surface for painting.
💡 Pro Tip: Screeding doesn’t just smoothen; it also strengthens your walls, reducing the risk of future cracking or peeling.
Enhances Paint Adhesion
Without screeding, your paint may absorb unevenly, resulting in patchy colors or dull finishes. Screeding provides a stable and non-porous base, allowing your paint to adhere better and appear more vibrant.
