Application guide

Ceilings

The fifth wall, thoughtfully finished.

The approach

Start with
the surface.

Bring the whole room into the design. A mineral ceiling adds subtle depth overhead, connects beautifully with the walls and gives light another surface to reveal. From one room to a larger interior, we’ll help you plan the finish, lighting and application details.

Before you apply

  • Check the ceiling and its fixings are stable and joints are correctly treated.
  • Resolve leaks and their source before addressing stains.
  • Inspect under the final lighting to identify unwanted ridges.
  • Protect the room and arrange safe access for uninterrupted passes.

A considered sequence

Plan the lighting

Approve a sample overhead, not only on a vertical board.

Prepare and prime

Level defects, remove dust and confirm a primer compatible with overhead application.

Work consistently

Use the specified material and tools, coordinating passes to avoid obvious joins.

Review the finish

Inspect from different positions after drying. Confirm any protection's effect on sheen first.

This is a project-planning guide, not a product technical specification. Confirm the exact products, quantities, layer thicknesses, drying times and safety instructions before application.

Details that matter

  • Coating unresolved water damage
  • Selecting texture before lighting
  • Unapproved heavy build-up overhead

Care for the finish

Remove dust gently. Check the approved method before spot-washing. Investigate new staining rather than covering it.

Questions about ceilings

Can ceilings match the walls?

Yes, but the same color reads differently overhead. Compare samples in both orientations.

What about a bathroom ceiling?

Confirm suitability for humidity, ventilation and the complete system before specifying it.
