What is the plaster?

Plaster is a type of mortar applied to the surface of buildings or building elements. It serves as a protective and decorative layer, and can be categorized into different types based on its function. Ordinary plaster is used for general wall finishing, while decorative sand and specialized mortars offer additional benefits such as waterproofing, insulation, sound absorption, and acid resistance. For construction purposes, plaster must have good workability, allowing it to be easily spread into a smooth and even layer. It should also provide strong adhesion, ensuring that the layer remains firmly attached to the base without cracking or peeling over time. In high-moisture areas or regions exposed to mechanical stress, like floors and wall skirtings, the plaster needs to be highly durable, water-resistant, and capable of withstanding external forces without damage.
