Advantages: A more decorative look

Disadvantages: Smells for a week afterwards

Fed up with that old flat ceiling and wish to change it to a more decorative look then why not Artex it, Artex is a chalk based plaster that gets mixed with water to form a creamy mixture. You can buy a bag of Artex from wicks for under £9 a bag that should do a small room. There are several patens to choose from the comb, different rollers and a stippling brush (recommended).

Artex can set very quickly especially when applying on a pours surface that’s why it should have a coat of unibond or building adhesive applied before you start Artex the ceiling, unibond will leave a film on your ceiling that gives you more time to work with the Artex.
The ceiling should be prepared first, free from all types grease.

After reading someone else’s opinion on Artex they paid £60 for materials and done it for themselves by using a pre made mixture. It is cheaper doing this way if you have the confidence in doing so. Remember the cost of this is as follows:
Bag of Artex £9
Small tin of unibond £3
Total £12
