Wall screeding is the process of applying a smooth, level cement-based paste or screeding paint to walls to cover imperfections like cracks, bumps, and holes . It creates a flawless, modern base for your paint, significantly improves paint adhesion, and stops moisture from seeping in, ensuring your final paint job lasts longer.

1. Surface Preparation: Clean the wall thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and debris. If you are screeding over an already painted wall, scrape off any loose or peeling paint.
2. Priming: Apply a bonding agent (like a PVA-based top bond or water seal) to ensure the screed grips the wall properly.
3. First Coat Application: Mix your screeding paste (usually a blend of white cement, calcium carbonate, and binders) and apply it thinly and evenly across the wall using a steel trowel or putty knife. Let it dry completely.
4. Sanding: Once the first coat is dry, lightly sand the wall to knock down ridges and bumps before wiping away the dust.
5. Second Coat: Apply a second, thinner coat to cover any remaining pinholes or deep spots, and sand it again to achieve a mirror-smooth finish.

• Apply Primer: Always apply a coat of wall primer before painting. This unifies the surface and prevents your screed from absorbing too much paint.
• Top Coat: Apply two to three coats of high-quality emulsion, satin, or silk paint. A satin or silk finish looks exceptionally stunning on a perfectly screeded wall.
