What Is Plastering?
Plastering is a process used to produce a final wall or ceiling finish to a building prior to decoration.
Skimming – Dependent on the substrate, a 2-3mm thickness of plaster is applied to give a smooth, seamless ready coat on plasterboard and other strong surfaces.
Plasterboards – A basic plasterboard is a flat sheet of gypsum (average thickness 10mm) sandwiched between sheets of durable paper. To improve insulation, the boards are available with various backings of differing size thickness. It has become common practice to bond or fix plaster boards to substrates to serve as the backing plaster coat. This method is known as dot and dab or drywall.
Finishing Coats – Finishing coats are usually between 3mm and 5mm and bring the backing coats to a smooth skim finish. Finishing plasters used to produce these setting coats are available as pre-mixed gypsum plasters. Finishing coats are available in a fine sand or a mixture of lime, sand and gypsum known as gauged setting.
