How to properly plaster a wall?
Plastering walls involves three steps. Step one is plastering. Step two is filling. Step three is smoothing the surface. In order for the surface to be perfectly smooth, the walls must be plastered very carefully. Both gypsum plaster and gypsum plaster will work very well for this purpose, but remember that the gypsum plaster layer should not exceed 3 mm thick. It can be used for cement, cement-lime and concrete plasters. However, gypsum plasters should be applied in one thick layer, up to 2 cm thick. There is no need to level the surface with plaster.
You should also know that gypsum plasters are used on mineral substrates, which include ceramic bricks, sand-lime bricks, as well as ordinary and cellular concrete. In the case of walls with high absorbency, the substrate should be additionally primed, because only then can its absorbency be equalized. In order to properly plaster the wall, you must first clean the surface, i.e. remove any peeling paint, but also any dust, dirt or dust. Then it is necessary to putty the walls, because in this way you can smooth out all kinds of cracks, but also fill in any gaps. At the very end we apply gypsum plaster. Mix the mortar with water. It should be applied with a wide trowel. When it dries, we sand the wall over the entire surface. For this purpose, you can use sandpaper with a grit of 100 to 150 or a plaster grinder.
What layer of gypsum plaster should be applied to the wall?
Proper execution of work allows you to achieve the best final effect. Of course, to achieve this effect you need to choose the right materials. Which layer of gypsum plaster gives the best effect? Let's start with the fact that 1 kg of gypsum plaster covers approximately 1.5 m3 of wall. Gypsum plaster cannot be applied in several layers. Only one layer is enough, and the key to success is the appropriate thickness. It cannot exceed 30 mm, and ideally it should be 25 mm. We must remember that the gypsum plaster layer cannot be less than 5 mm.
How thick should the plaster putty be?
Gypsum filler, or gypsum filler , is used not only for leveling walls, but also ceilings. You need to know that building plaster should be applied in very thin layers, the thickness of which cannot exceed 2 to 3 mm. We must not forget that the number of layers also counts. Here you need to know that you need to apply a minimum of two layers. In the case of greater unevenness, there must be much more layers. If you intend to place any decorations or strips on the wall, you should choose the appropriate mounting adhesive , but it can only be used when the wall is completely dry.
