What is Artex?

Artex is a textured coating that was commonly used in the 1970s and 1980s as a decorative finish on walls and ceilings. Artex was popular because it was an easy and cost-effective way to add texture and interest to a room. However, many Artex coatings contained asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials prior to its ban in 1999.

Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, but many buildings constructed before this time still contain asbestos.
