14 best plasters

Plastering mixtures are widely used in the construction industry. If earlier this material was used exclusively for leveling walls and ceilings, today, some formulations are used for decorative finishing. Accordingly, the range of plasters has expanded. Today it is already difficult to find builders who prepare cement-lime mortars themselves. They were replaced by innovative developments that simplify not only the preparation of the solution, but the application and leveling. Once in the building supermarket, a simple man in the street can easily get confused. In order not to be mistaken in the choice of plaster, it is worth getting acquainted with the recommendations of experts.

Criteria for the selection of plaster

1. First of all, the master must roughly determine the thickness of the leveling layer. Most often, plaster is used to help with a minimum deviation of 3 mm from the ideal. It is possible to plaster large irregularities in several layers, but due to the long drying of the surface, there is a loss of precious time. In this case, you should pay for the maximum permissible thickness of one layer.

2. When choosing a composition, it is important to consider the type of foundation. If practically any plasters are perfectly combined with concrete bases, then it will be necessary to carefully select a mixture for gypsum-containing bases.

3. Some types of plaster can be used to prepare the surface for laying tiles, other solutions allow you to create modern decorative surfaces.

4. Not all plasters retain their qualities equally well in dry rooms and outdoors. If a wide range of compositions is suitable for interior work, it is better to buy products resistant to moisture, frost and ultraviolet light for finishing outdoor bases.

5. Different plaster and composition. Cement mixtures are good for outdoor work, they are the most affordable. Gypsum plaster dry quickly, their scope of application is usually limited to dry rooms. The most expensive were synthetic compounds. They give the master a wide field of activity.
