View Full Version : Artex
Looking for the easiest solution to removing artex from a ceiling if any of you have been through this before
Easiest thing is to plaster over it if its not too thick.
a steam stripper will soften it to make it come off easier
Ours was so thick it had to be sanded off with a belt sander. Had just got it lovely and smooth, ready for the fresh paint to go on when my nephew thought he would help and painted it with a stipple roller.......We hadn`t the heart to tell him, so we still have pattern on the ceiling.
Unfortunately i don't think there is an easy way to remove artex. As far as i know the best way has already been suggested, sanding it down with a powerful sander. It does make a terrible mess.
Thanks to all for your replies ,have found a product called X-TEX ,you paint this on ,leave it a few hours then just scrape the whole lot off
