Home Strip X-Tex Textured Coating Remover 2.5L - Solvent Free Removal of Bonded Non Bonded Surfaces, Polytex, Artex Stripper, Paint, Wallpaper Remover

Product Information

Vinyl silk is hard to penetrate with any type of paint remover, so the first recommendation is to apply a light coat of X-Tex then lightly scoring the surface with a blade. It cannot be rushed and you should not leave the steam plate in one place for too long or you could damage the underlying substrate.

Any variation on any of these items may affect the cost rates which have been detailed in this guide. I'll need to cut the wood into 2 or 4 pieces to dispose of it, so I think I need to remove the Artex before I do that. I’m a 56 year old woman who has just managed, single handedly, to strip my whole living room ceiling of the loathed and detested Artex in just over 2 days, thanks to your fantastic product! First, it is important to flatten or remove any lumps, then the ceiling can be sealed using a PVA solution before plastering. Whether it is a large contract job or a smaller job around the home, Biostrip Artex Remover is the safe way to remove unwanted artex.

If you’ve found asbestos or suspect there is asbestos in your home, it's important that you go hire a professional to remove (or encapsulate) it.

Leaving the X-Tex on too long can result is it soaking through to the layer underneath but careful removal should cause no damage. After some messing around I was reasonably confident the dust was from the plasterboard and not the artex - the artex becomes like a wet gloopy thing - bag it up as you go as it gets messy (and have dust sheets down).This makes the product safer for the user and the environment but does not compromise on performance.

I am definitely in the ‘hate it’ club so when we bought a house where the ceilings and half of the walls are covered with it, we knew it had to be removed. Although these can be found at many sites it is sometimes easier and safer for the asbestos removal contractor to provide their own. Where there are additional layers of paint, it is estimated that removing the Artex coatings with X-Tex will take approximately 1 hour.

I know it’s an issue for worrying about later years but due to being a asmatic I’m going overdrive with it. Biostrip Artex Remover converts the artex to a soft, removable gel that minimises any health risks should the artex contain asbestos.

Cos even if we had known about the asbestos this Artex remover will easily strip without chips or dust. X-Tex is also perfect for those looking at how to get Artex off walls, simply apply X Tex to the surface, leave for minimum of 30mins and then scrape off.tub on, waited a few hours and started to scrape the artex was still hard and now the ceiling was covered in a sticky,messy,gluey gloop. I need to remove the wooden drop ceiling in my hall, as shown in the attached photo, but it's been painted with what may well be Artex, so before cutting the wood down I wanted to clean that off.
