Level 5 skim coating in Cromdale

When a Level 5 finish is worth it

Our Cromdale skim coating process, step by step

Prep and the first skim coat

A flat finish in Cromdale starts with prep — we scrape high spots, fill deep damage and prime glossy or porous areas so the skim coat bonds. Next, the Cromdale wall takes its first full skim pass.

Coats, drying and the sand

Most later ridging or cracking traces to skipped drying time between coats. Coats built up as needed, a flat sand, edges feathered past the repair, and a raking-light check — the Cromdale standard. A skim lives or dies by the light — so in Cromdale we finish to the light.
