elastic plaster for exterior and interior finishing

Before we engage in the study of the properties of the material of interest, let's remember what a plaster as a whole?Start with the fact that the name comes from the Italian word «stuccatura», which translates as "smearing", the Italian word and nothing else, as a derivative of "stucco" - plaster, gypsum, alabaster.Starting from the last term, one can guess that the foundation of many brands of plaster is a plaster, as well as its substitute - lime.There are also sand-cement plaster, which, in fact, used for facade work.And after a short period of time - crack, crack ...

walls of the house are almost never fixed: the vibration, the shrinkage, the expansion / contraction of materials due to temperature changes.The house lives its own life, and under the influence of an unforgiving time covered by a grid of cracks, wrinkles.But the building itself can stand for centuries, and how many times it will throw off the plaster, like old skin, how much time, effort and money will be spent on endless repairs?Is not it better to use an elastic finish at once, which, firmly adhering to the surface of the wall, as if delays are all the bumps, like a rubber sheath.Outside this plaster resists sudden temperature changes without notice torrential rain and even after the earthquake, when the walls will undergo some strain on the elastic plaster does not appear any break-crack.

This material is perfect for interior decoration, with premises covering walls look smart, but when you consider that there is a flexible variety of colors and shades, it generally becomes indispensable to furnish living rooms.In rooms elastic plaster can replace textured and decorative.Used without tinting, it can be painted in any color, in fact, applied to her art painting never peel off and crack.One thing to remember - Elastic plaster made on the basis of acrylic paint and it is best to lay down with the same ingredient in the composition, that is acrylic.One can only wonder why it is still used conventional.

Elastic facade plaster to support the general style of the building

Finishing facade usually becomes the final stage in the construction or repair work, and the choice of material depends on when you will need another wall decoration.Therefore, the best option for you would be elastic facade plaster, very different from the gypsum or lime.Start with the fact that such a plaster based on acrylic resins in all climates saves to give it color.However, if you suddenly want to update the wall, enough to take a container of latex paint (base - acrylic), brush and just a few hours the walls will change color without sacrificing coverage.

Decorative facade finishing must be carried out in the general style of the building, which means that you may need relief plaster.Once again, we return to a flexible plaster, remembering that it can be used as an invoice (previously it was mentioned).In fact, if such a replacement application technique remains the same - the tool must move along the wall so that remained visible traces that create relief, covering the wall.

Surface preparation is done for any other plaster facade - thorough cleaning of the crumbling elements, dirt, dust and grease.Thus for applying elastic façade plaster is not always required as pre-coating surface treatment.But the result is stunning, and most importantly, almost perpetual (if the wall is not anything heavy ram).

Flexible plaster, its advantages for interior decoration

who worked with conventional plaster and lime plaster, remembers how long then recovered your skin.What plaster that cement and sand - almost any kind of plasters literally pull moisture from the skin, while at the same time slightly corroding it.Acrylic elastic stucco is a mixture of water-dispersion, indicating that it is sufficient moisture saturation.Consequently, the skin of the hands, it will not be dry, even without the use of special protection measures.

When working with a flexible plaster for you will be a surprise spatter.But there is nothing surprising, just due to the excellent adhesion (sticking) plaster rests on spatula as well as on the wall.However, it does not stick to the tool surface polished to such an extent as to remain on what it scooped than move on the wall.Distributed elastic plaster perfectly uniform layer, however, starting work on one wall, be sure to bring the work to the end, from corner to corner because the seams - a weak spot acrylic plaster.

And when all the work with the elastic plaster will be completed, think about what might still your grandchildren will enjoy just as smooth or textured, but in any case, neat wall coverings.
