What is Plaster?

Employed for protecting and decorating the ceilings and walls of buildings, plaster is a material which has been in use since ancient Egyptian times. The expression "plaster" usually pertains to the material which is utilized on the interior of buildings in the British Isles. The material which is used for on outside surfaces is known as "render". The most common types of plaster normally contain either lime, cement, or gypsum, although all pretty much work in the same way. Plaster is a dry powder when manufactured and when needed, is simply blended with water to create a stiff but easily workable paste just before application. A reaction is triggered when the water and plaster are mixed together, and hardening takes place as a result of the heat generated through a process called crystallization.

Rendering Killamarsh

The procedure of applying a mixture of sand, cement, lime and water to either exterior or interior walls to obtain a textured or smooth surface, is called rendering, and it is a fairly similar technique to plastering. Rendering is especially widespread in the Mediterranean area, but is also very popular throughout Southern Europe. Mainly used for aesthetic purposes a rendered surface has got some useful fire retarding qualities and is also waterproof. You can get a more durable and long lasting finished surface by adding colour to the render itself, although it is acceptable to apply paint to a rendered surface.

Screeders Killamarsh

A few plasterers in Killamarsh, Derbyshire also offer screeding services, where a smooth, level floor surface is created by the use of a cement and sand mix. Usually screed is put on over a rougher concrete sub-floor to cover underfloor heating pipes, to be left as a wearing floor surface or to take on the final floor finish. This will help to extend the lifespan of the complete floor and establish its quality, durability and finish, for many years. A suitable screed pump should be employed to quickly produce a smooth, even mixture of sand and cement and to transport (pump) this perfect mix directly to its required location, avoiding the use of wheelbarrows and similar equipment. The hand mixing of screed should only be used where small areas are involved. Amongst the many different types of floor screeding are: bonded screed, floor levelling compound, free-flowing screed, unbonded screed, structural screed, fast drying screed and traditional screed.
