Thanks to modern materials and wall finishing technologies, you can not only level the surface and make it look aesthetically pleasing, but also prevent the destruction of coatings under the influence of external factors. Plastering and finishing play an important role in creating a stylish and durable interior. The modern market offers various types of materials that differ in composition, application technique, and decorative capabilities. PlasterX specialists have mastered the art of wall decoration, allowing you to create a unique design, emphasise the style, and give the room a distinctive look.

How to Choose the Right Plaster Coating

The right choice of plaster is the key to the durability and aesthetic appeal of your home. Practical tips:

1. Determine the purpose of the room.
   
2. Consider the type of surface.
   
3. Pay attention to the composition.
   
4. Choose the desired effect.
   
5. Do not skimp on quality.
   
6. Consult with experts.
   

Gypsum-based plaster finishes are ideal for interior decoration. They are environmentally friendly, create a smooth surface, and dry quickly. For bathrooms and kitchens with high humidity, it is better to use cement or silicone plaster finishes. For facades, use weather-resistant materials, such as cement, silicone, or mineral plaster.

Any type of coating is suitable for brick or concrete walls. For drywall, use gypsum or putty specially designed for this type of surface. For wooden surfaces, a special mixture with high adhesion is required.

As for the composition: gypsum plaster is environmentally friendly but not suitable for damp rooms. The cement-based mixture is durable and moisture-resistant but requires professional application. Silicone plaster is resistant to dirt and weathering, but it is more expensive, while mineral plaster is environmentally friendly and vapour-permeable, making it ideal for rooms with high humidity.

For smooth walls, use plaster or finishing putty. For decorative effects, choose textured or Venetian plaster. To imitate natural materials, there are special decorative coatings that mimic marble, stone, or wood.

If the surface is heavily damaged, use a deep-penetrating primer to improve adhesion and strengthen the substrate before applying a new plaster finish. Masking tape will help protect adjacent areas from contamination during work, and sandpaper will allow you to get a perfectly smooth surface before painting or decorating.

If you are in doubt about your choice, contact a professional. PlasterX specialists are always ready to help you not only choose materials but also perform all wall finishing work quickly and efficiently. The company provides guarantees for all types of work, so you can be sure of the reliability and durability of the result.

Types of Plaster and Their Capabilities

There are many different types of wall finishing materials, each with its own characteristics, scope, and advantages.

Types of plaster and their capabilities:

• Traditional Cement-Sand Plaster – This type of coating is one of the most popular due to its durability and affordability. Its main components are cement, sand, and water. Advantages: high resistance to mechanical damage, excellent adhesion to various surfaces, durability, and moisture resistance. Cement-sand plaster is most often used for rough levelling of walls before further finishing.
• Gypsum Plaster – An ideal solution for interior work. The coatings are highly plastic and provide a perfectly flat surface. They are suitable for interior decoration and are often used as a base for painting or decorative finishing. Main advantages: environmental friendliness and safety, fast drying, excellent heat and sound insulation. Gypsum plaster is not recommended for use in rooms with high humidity, as the material is highly hygroscopic.
• Decorative Coatings – These plasters are used to create aesthetically pleasing textured surfaces. They can imitate natural stone, wood, or other materials. Varieties of decorative plaster:
  • Venetian: creates the effect of marble.
  • Textured: allows you to create a three-dimensional relief.
  • Mineral: environmentally friendly and durable.
    Decorative finishes are a great solution for a wide variety of design projects.
• Silicone and Silicate Plaster – These materials are highly resistant to dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. They are suitable for both interior and exterior decoration. Main advantages: high elasticity and durability, self-cleaning properties, and excellent vapour permeability. These materials are used to cover surfaces in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• Acrylic Plaster – A modern material for interiors. It is characterised by high plasticity and ease of application. It is ideal for decorating residential and commercial premises. Main advantages: easy maintenance, high moisture resistance, and a wide range of colours and textures. Acrylic plaster is perfectly combined with other finishing materials, such as paint or decorative panels.
