Polycell SmoothOver Your Textured Ceilings

Task difficulty: A bit of skill required

A quick and easy way to transform old-fashioned textured ceilings to a perfectly smooth surface that's ready to paint.

  • Transforms textured ceilings to a perfectly smooth surface that is ready to paint.
  • Covers all common types of ceiling textures in just one application.
  • You don't have to be an expert - If you need to, you can sand when dry to remove any tramlines.

How to use

  1. Make sure surfaces are clean and sound and remove any loose particles or mould. Seal stains with Polycell One Coat Stain Stop.
  2. Touch in any nail heads or screws with gloss paint to prevent corrosion and fill any holes or cracks greater than 2mm with an appropriate Polycell Polyfilla.
  3. You'll find it easier to smooth heavy textures if you scrape off the highest peaks first.
  4. Start by stirring the Polycell SmoothOver to a creamy consistency. Then load the Polycell SmartSmoother with product. It's best to work with approximately 2cm depth across the full width of the blade
  5. Apply the Polycell SmoothOver to the ceiling, working away from the edges and focusing on a small area at a time. Test a small area first.
  6. Reload the SmartSmoother as needed to ensure sufficient product is applied to cover the highest texture peaks.
  7. Don't worry about small irregularities or tramlines as these can be removed by light sanding when the product is dry. Apply a second coat if required.
  8. Wash tools in warm soapy water. Your ceiling is now ready to paint.
