?? When Can I Redecorate After Plastering? ?? New plasterwork can be redecorated after 4-6 weeks, but only if the walls appear visually dry. Use a micro-porous, water-based matt emulsion to ensure proper breathability. Avoid impervious materials like vinyl silk, eggshell, gloss, or wallpaper to protect your walls!

Decorative coatings provide a resilient veneer. In addition, the color choices available allow for a subdued or more bold look depending upon the needs of the space where it’s placed.

What I’ve been up to lately instead of posting… I’ve been busy cleaning dried paint off some beautiful bisazza tiles (I’ll do the grout straight after). When the brick dome was coated with waterproof protective paint, the person in charge “forgot” to cover the walls and floor… so here I am, two days later, with 36 mosaic tiles cleaned. Can you guess how many are left? ?? #designlife #tilework #architecturaldetails #renovationchallenges #problemsolving

??Really like the below smoke flooring, with its rich colors, distinct layers, and three-dimensional texture. The gray layer and stains can't hide its prominence at all. It has a retro beauty, but can also match modern styles. What do you think of it? #engineeredwoodflooring #smokecolor #newcolor #colorpreference #retrostyle #modelstyle #interiordesign

???? What’s the deal with bisque firing? Let’s break it down in simple terms, potter-style! Ever wondered why some ceramic pieces get fired twice? First, it’s all about prepping the piece (aka bisque firing) to make it tough, absorbent, and ready for that gorgeous glaze. Second firing? That’s where the magic happens—the glaze melts and turns into that shiny finish we all love! ? A cool part? The porosity of bisque is key—it’s what makes glazing quick and easy! But here’s a pro tip: firing it as high as possible gives the ware extra strength to resist cracking. Nobody likes cracks, right? ?? Got a bisque issue? Maybe it's the glaze recipe to blame, not the firing! Some folks wash their bisque to avoid glaze crawling—but firing higher could be the trick. (Pro tip: Less absorbency = less glaze crawling.) And, quick joke: What’s a potter’s favorite band? The Clay-diohead! ???? #PorcelainTiles #CeramicTiles #TileIndustry #TileDesign #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #TileTrends #SustainableTiles #TileInnovation #TileManufacturing
