For those of you who do not know, plaster is a hydration product used as a building material, like cement. Plaster is a starter. It is a dry powder which, after being mixed with water, forms a paste which later hardens.

Why is plastering required for your home?

Home interior and exterior plastering is very important. It protects the entire structure from various temperature variations. It’s basically a shield that protects your wall from the external attacks of chlorides, sulphates, etc.

What are the precautions?

Some basic precautions should be taken while plaster work is being done. Generally plaster should be used indoors only and in areas that are not damp. Plaster should be mixed with clean cold water and the plaster should always be added to the water. It is recommended to use the minimum amount of water at the time of mixing. Always use cement that releases low hydration heat, like blended cement. Before plastering, the surface should be wet. After plastering, tend to the surface for at least 9 to 11 days.
