Textured plaster - it is and how to work with it ?

History of textured plaster

At the end of the XIX century French archaeologists carried out excavations on the territory of modern Egypt, resulting in several complexes, the walls of which were fragments of plaster were found.As it became known later, we found the house belonged to the III-I centuries BC.Already in those days people were added to the clay dry tree leaves, which helped not only to decorate the house, but also to protect them from external and internal influences (dampness and drafts, wind, rain or snow).Later in the plaster began to add the river or sea sand, it lasted as long as there was no cement.

appearance of this building material has led many to reconsider their views on interior design, which led to the invention gartsovki, of which added cement, sand and clay, acts as a plasticizer.But this kind of finish is not paid off because of high costs, low productivity, quality of instability.It required the creation of new materials, so were modified dry building mixtures.

With the advent of modern technologies have begun to produce a mixture on the basis of the various components.Today textured plaster composition comprises marble chips or flour, and polymeric compounds based on water.Magnesium mixture, to which refers textured plaster, have a number of benefits among different finishing materials on the construction market.The composition of the plaster consists of non-combustible, high strength and dust-free compounds that create an original on the wall texture, different nobility and beauty.

plaster to create relief is undemanding decorative material which produces textural and color combinations in different variations.But before you start working with decorative plaster, it is necessary to prepare the foundation and tools for finishing works.

Substrate preparation and tools for applying textured plaster

Base under the finish textured plaster should be dry and firm.On the surface of a wall are not acceptable presence of various stains (rust or oil), projecting metallic elements without special treatment.All major chips, cracks and potholes must be sealed filler. Application textured plaster produced on a flat surface, prepared as well as before pokleikoy wallpaper. For better grip wall is treated by impregnation, and after 5 hours - primer.After the previous procedure give the wall to "rest" for 24 hours.

If they were not purchased in advance during this time should be to prepare the necessary construction tools: trowel, plastic float, paint brush and sponge construction.

Application textured plaster

Before starting work, thoroughly mix the finished material.Using a trowel applied a uniform layer of plaster (0.7-1.2 mm) on the surface of the wall.When using textured plaster material consumption will be about 1 kg per square meter of fabric.Do not wait until the dry layer plastic float create a relief surface, which will match the interior design conceived.

If necessary, beginners can consult with experts on the issue drawing on the wall material such as textured plaster, video, fully showing the manufacturing process, posted on our website.

After applying a layer of plaster texture, make sure that the edge portions are not obtained ragged, all docking must take place while the material is wet.Atomizer can be used to impart desired surface plasticity.Different movements of the hand with a paint brush or a soft sponge create any drawings on the wall.After complete drying of the plaster passes along the surface with sandpaper, if necessary.

To make use of color textured plaster finish coat, tentatively otkolerovuyut in the desired shade.Professionals recommend using a special wax, it protects the wall from dust, and operating process will clean the surface with plain water.
