The most common types of plaster mainly contain either gypsum, lime, or cement, but all work in a similar way. The plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with water to form a stiff but workable paste immediately before it is applied to the surface. The reaction with water liberates heat through crystallization and the hydrated plaster then hardens.
Drylining is a method of building internal walls and ceilings within a property. Popular in both residential and commercial markets, it allows for both the quick and easy erection of non-load bearing walls and ceilings.
Essentially, dry lining is the process of screwing plasterboard sheets to either a timber or metal frame. However, due to the “ease of use” and “cost and savings” of metal, the metal dry lining has become far more popular.
Rendering is the process of covering an exterior wall with cement, lime, acrylic and silicone or some other kind of mixture. This protects exposed brick and other construction materials from erosion and cracking; preventing expensive maintenance or repairs down the line. We can give you advice about traditional render or your coloured through renders.
The standard screed mix of cement and sand mixed in the ratio of 1:3-5 is used for creating a defined layer for installing the final floor finish such as tiles, wood, vinyl etc. Traditional screeds are generally suitable for all different types of projects.
Recently introduced to the UK market, the Airless Plaster range is 30% more rapid to install than the alternative, widely-used processes. It’s applied via a spray gun attached to an airless spray machine and once administered, the plaster requires just six hours setting time to ensure it’s ready for sanding.
Airless plaster not only provides an easier, quicker, cleaner installation to internal walls and ceilings, but it also offers a smoother, high-end finish that compares favourably to hand-and-trowel application.
As experienced plastering contractors, we pride ourselves on the quality of the work we undertake and guarantee the highest standards to both the domestic and commercial sectors. We cover all gypsum plastering products and we’re now using airless plaster which is a new innovative method to the building industry.
