Plastering

  • Why plastering is required?

    Plaster protects structure from temperature variations; external attacks of sulphates, chlorides, etc. Plaster also provides smooth & aesthetic surface on RCC & Brickwork surface.

  • What precautions should be taken during plaster works?

    Preferably use cement which releases low heat of hydration. A blended Cement is a good choice.

    • Use optimum water at the time of mixing.
    • Do not use dry cement on the plaster surface.
    • At the junction of Brickwork & RCC, chicken mesh or fiber mesh may be used.
    • Wet the surface before plastering.
    • Cure the surface for at least 10 to 12 days.
