Ornate Cornice and Ceiling Roses
Specialist Ornate cornice installed here. The bottom right cornice is 300ml in size and the bottom left cornice is 450ml wide. Very heavy stuff. The ceiling rose at the top is 660ml in diameter. The team did a fantastic job on this 187 year old house near Avoca Tasmania. Very proud of them all.
Plastering The Examiner Reception Area
This is the new Examiner newspaper reception area in Launceston. Sheets here are standups as the builder framed the walls to allow this to be done. Great effort by the PTC team to get this finished off fairly quickly.
Plaster Crack Repair. St Helens Tasmania
This job was done in St Helens Tasmania, on a 150 year old house. The room here was full of what we call crazy cracks through out the whole ceiling. It was not an option to re-sheet the ceiling as the owner wanted to keep the heritage style of the building, which is fair enough as it is a very old residence.
What we did here was to dig out any cracks that were big enough to do so, the small hairlines do not need this. Then once dug out we trowelled them back up with cornice cement to set hard again.
After the dug out cracks were set hard again all the cracks were then taped with a fibreglass joint taped called FibaFuse. The cracks were then given another coat of base and then a final coat of topping to allow for sanding.
As you can see the entire ceiling was nearly trowelled, as myself and the owner had a few jokes about, but this is what was needed to be done to maintain this lovely 150 year old buildings heritage. #ceilingcracks

Complete House Plastering. Bicheno
This is a rondo suspended ceiling on a raked angle from 3m down to 2.5m. Because usually 10ml plasterboard is used in residential housing, these metal battens, called furring channels are spaced at a maximum 450ml centres to comply with Australian Safety Standards. The blue colour board you can see in the background is for the bathroom, it is called “wetboard”, and is commonly used in any wet environments.
This is the finished sanded product. The angle you are looking at now between the wall and ceiling junctions was created using an adjustable PVC splade bead. This bead was then coated 3 times. 2 x base coats and 1 x top coat, this is also to comply with CSR Gyprocks warranty standards, trowelled any other way would void your warranty.
