Plastering Application Features: What to Consider When Choosing and Applying
It is important to take into account some considerations:
1. Plaster is only suitable for interior work. For external walls, plaster (lime-based composition) should be used.
2. Fine white plaster is used for plastering. A lightweight or raised option provides additional insulation and fire resistance.
3. Application and mixing can be manual or mechanical depending on the type of plaster (mixed with an electric mixer and applied with a hose connected to a specific machine).
Support preparation:
The support (brick, concrete, drywall...) must be level, clean, free of lumps and traces of release agents, paint strippers and other types of waste.
