VermicuHIDE® is the solution
Most people who have properties with Vermiculite coated ceilings want to update and modernise their home from a seventies look to current.
How does
VermicuHIDE® Work?
VermicuHIDE® is our trademarked premium resurfacing system that employs ultra-lightweight and super low shrinkage plaster compounds that are applied at very high pressure over the existing textured ceiling. The unique properties of these compounds minimise the stress on the existing vermiculite coating.
VermicuHIDE® is a proprietary multi-step process that results in the highest possible quality finish of any ceiling! The surface once completed is superior and smoother than a brand new plasterboard ceiling. Experienced painters regularly describe the finish as the best they have ever painted.
The image above shows how you enjoy a smooth and modern ceiling, while there is no sacrificing of the sound proofing and fire rating properties of the original vermiculite!

The problem with
Traditional Fixes
False ceilings
Some choose to get a plasterer to skim over the bumps, but this can add significant weight and tension to the existing texture, thus the risk of de-lamination.
Scraping off the texture only exposes a multitude of imperfections and faults and can lead to hefty fines if your building’s fire rating is compromised.
What about painting?
Really though, this only freshens the bad look and is expensive due to the enormous amount of paint and time required, as vermiculite is extremely absorbent.
Because of this, many painters simply refuse to paint vermiculite ceilings.
