Is Level 5 necessary on all Rossdale walls?

No — flat-painted Rossdale walls generally do well at Level 4. We tell you which Rossdale walls genuinely need Level 5 (feature walls, critical light, gloss paint) so you are not paying for skim coat where it will not show.

Can you skim my existing walls to Level 5 in Rossdale?

Yes. We can skim existing walls — including ones with knockdown and orange peel on these recent builds — flat to a Level 5 finish, ready for premium paint, rather than replacing them.

How do Level 4 and Level 5 differ for Rossdale projects?

On Rossdale walls, Level 4 stops at seams and fasteners while Level 5 takes a full-surface skim. Level 5 is worth it in Rossdale where critical light, gloss paint or dark colours would reveal flaws a Level 4 hides.
