What is Gypsum Plaster?

They are natural soil components produced by grinding certain types of rock and clay in special furnaces at very high temperatures

• How to do plastering:-

Plastering work should be done in a very artistic and engineering manner as follows:

1- In some walls, the surfaces of the walls should be thoroughly cleaned from any dirt and debris from previous work (if the walls are concrete, remove wire, glass and any other debris if any).

2- Filling and plastering any parts of the walls that are broken for any electrical or mechanical work such as (pipes, electrical boxes and any other work).

3- Work (juice, elephant beating (special fly wire)) according to the type of walls.

4- Installation of columns from the floor to the ceiling, the distance between the masters should not exceed 80 cm to 100 cm, and it is better to use special anti-rust corners (galvanized) for the outer corners In order to balance the walls on all sides in terms of horizontal and vertical, which is the main work of plastering.

5- Then filling the gaps between the masters with plaster, which is called (Talaz) or the first layer, which is between (2 cm to 2.5 cm) thick, which should be done very well according to the masters Masters should not be high and low

6- Whitening or the second or final layer with a thickness of between 2 mm and 3 mm. This layer is better or should be done after a while so that the first layer is very well held and dry This layer should be applied very carefully to avoid waves on the plant. It is better to use large light bulbs to see all areas and avoid waves
