To begin with, it is worth saying that you can find quite a lot of materials dedicated to the plaster walls. This is a responsible process that will include a lot of events.

If we talk about decorative plaster walls, the issue is more complicated. The whole difficulty lies in the fact that often the person needs to include not only care, but also the creative component. Decorative plaster involves creating a really unusual and attractive surfaces, which should ideally fit into the available space. It is obvious that today there are all conditions in order to maximize the quality to hold the process of applying plaster on the wall. But do not forget, a lot can also depend on the material and the method of its application. In the end, each option plastering should be analyzed in detail and draw conclusions that allow to create the most successful space.
In fact, with the application of decorative plaster can handle relatively inexperienced people. However, there is still a somewhat different situation than with a conventional plaster, so it is more in-depth analysis of the situation and the process.
In this article, we analyze the situation regarding the application of decorative plaster, as well as take into account all the details that can significantly influence the outcome of events.
Features of the use of decorative plaster
Immediately it is worth saying that the decorative plaster is used more often. The thing is that many owners already rather bored with the same type of decoration materials, while the decorative plaster allows to realize the really successful projects, including unique. Even owners who have a limited budget money can without too much trouble to create an attractive space. However, many people are working on does not have existing projects, and on its own work. This may be the original plastering, which creates a truly amazing texture on the surface of the wall. Of course, not all it turns out to create something worthwhile, but sometimes worth a try, because in fact the major costs are certainly not to be.
Of course, almost all people try to use the Internet network, and there is already there to find the highest quality projects that allow you to decorate space, make it most successful in every sense. With this situation, it turns out the decorative plaster walls as successful as possible, since the owners understand that they should turn out at the end. If the result is not exactly the result, then, most likely, the implementation of the implementation.
Here I would also like to say that the hosts are often preferred to use the services of professionals. In almost every city you can find brigades involved in finishing events. Obviously, with the application of decorative plaster there can be cope with almost everything, since the process itself is not too complicated. However, not the best news is that such services are often too expensive, therefore it makes sense to risk himself and implement one or another idea.
Before starting to create decorative plaster walls, it should be understood that it is not in all housing or any other spaces it will look attractive. The thing is that, for example, for modest apartments it will be much wiser to create some simple design, and there is simply no need for decorative plaster walls. In such conditions, the plaster can even look tasteless, so you need to weigh all these aspects and make a decision. One can only focus on the fact that decorative plaster is often created in the premises, where it is planned to implement some particular style. These are large rooms in which there is a certain expanser for action. If the style of the wall will not have any connection with the rest of the space, then there is simply no need for such events. Again, it makes sense to use the Internet and find ready-made wall plaster options. Together with this you need to analyze the space in which the project is implemented. In this case, you can already make a deliberate choice.
Types of decorative plaster
Structural plaster
If we talk about structural plaster, it is often implied to the surface that has inhomogeneous graininess, and there are granules additives. It may be, for example, small stones or chunks of wood. Such surfaces are often found, and the manufacture of material is based on synthetic laters or potassium silicate. If we are talking about interior decoration, it is advisable to make a choice in favor of water based formulations. They do not have a sharp smell, and this means that the process of plastering walls can be carried out in residential premises at any time, and this will not create any trouble for tenants.
Many experts prefer to use structural plasters. The thing is that they are distinguished by high plasticity, and this obviously allows you to implement a wide variety of projects related to the plaster walls. The owners who do not have a lot of experience in repair work, structural plaster likes the fact that it is sold already in the finished form, so it's not necessary to mix or breed a mixture. This type of plaster is available in tanks from 15 to 25 kg.
As for the application of this plaster, it is worth paying attention to the fact that when applied should not try to make the surface perfectly smooth. The structure of the material itself allows to hide the smallest shortcomings of the wall, which in any other conditions make themselves felt. The most important thing is to clean the surface. In addition, when finishing the wall should be dry. If we talk about strengthening the foundation, then in this case the indispensable component is primer. A peculiar protective layer is created, which prevents the exchange of moisture between the base surface of the wall, as well as a decorative layer.
Application occurs in the usual way. To do this, the Kelma is used or a spatula. From the technology of applying material depends on what the surface will ultimately be. About a week after applying, the plaster will find the necessary strength, and then we can already talk about a really decent decorative component of the dwelling.
Textured plaster
The texture plaster is the composition, with which one can give the surface the original relief. Experts note that sometimes there are practically no difference between textured or structural mixtures.
If we talk about the specific examples of surfaces created on the basis of textured plaster, it is worth noting the walls that mimic wood, paper or stone. These are truly stylish solutions that are popular for many years. Obviously, it is unlikely to realize something like this novice, as we are talking about full-fledged work. To achieve a qualitative result, you need to train and improve it for a long time. Well, the most difficult thing is to create a harmonious surface, as it is exactly possible to repeat one or another texture - really not easy.
Filler is used with textured plaster. We are talking about various materials that can harmoniously exist with plaster. For example, we can talk about granite crumbs, various types of fibers. In addition, in recent years, textured surfaces with polymeric materials have received more distribution. In addition, the relief of such a wall will be pleasant outwardly, so also the main characteristics of plaster are significantly improved. First of all, we are talking about the absence of cracking of the material during drying.
As for the technology of applying plaster, it all starts with surface preparation. As in the past case, it is necessary to clean the surface, as well as ensure dryness. The main wall is primer, and after drying, you need to apply a paint-substrate along with sand. It will provide excellent adhesion. Decorative plaster is applied in 1 or 2 layers, while you need to use a trowel, a spatula or even brush (in some cases). It should be borne in mind that the texture plaster allows you to create volumetric patterns, and at the same time it must be remembered that, depending on the size of the figure, it will be necessary to create an appropriate number of layers of material. It should be borne in mind that the size of the plaster has some limitations, since too massive decorative surface at one moment can simply collapse. You should do everything possible to prevent such situations. Ultimately, a protective layer is created, which will save the surface from various external factors. In some situations, additional coatings are capable of providing an original surface layer. For example, it can be a pearl shine.
Venetian plaster
Venetian plaster is quite popular among many owners. It is created on the basis of marble flour, and when the material is applied to the surface, the wall begins to resemble a marble stone-based finish. Venetian plaster is sold in tanks from 7 to 25 kg. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that this mixture is applied only on perfectly smooth surfaces. Already after applying the surface, you can paint in any color. However, it should be borne in mind that then maybe such a valuable appearance of marble finishes may then.
Those owners for which the appearance of the plaster walls is not so important, pay attention to the safety of products. Venetian plaster is distinguished by excellent environmental friendliness. It does not have a sharp smell, and is also completely fireproof. Well, I would like to say that this plaster dries extremely quickly, so for those who do not like Waiting, the "Venetian" material will be the best solution.
As for technology, the way we have already said, first of all, you need to perfectly align the walls. Next is applied primer, which should dry. With a spatula, plaster mass is applied. Already after the mixture is driving, it is necessary to start stripping the surface. In this case, it is necessary to remove all the irregularities that were formed during the application of the mixture. For stripping uses small sandpaper. Ultimately, white wax is applied to the surface.
Internal and exterior decorative plaster
It is worth paying attention to the fact that the usual and decorative plaster can be used to finish the external walls of structures. Every year the range of plaster products is significantly expanding. However, so far the material for working with the inner walls is significantly more than for events with external surfaces.
It is imperative to remember that using the same material for plastering internal and external walls is categorically not recommended. If we talk about the material released for plastering walls inside the housing, then problems will occur for external walls. First of all, in this case, the material will not be able to cope with external factors, including precipitation and low temperatures. If you do vice versa - plastering the inner walls of the house with the material for the exterior decoration, then we are talking about unjustified financial spending. The exterior plaster itself boasts those characteristics that imply resistance to various factors that are absent inside the room. In some cases, the price difference may be too large, so it is worth carefully choosing material, as well as consult with knowledgeable people. In construction stores and supermarkets there are always people who can give advice or useful recommendation associated with repairs.
Technology applying plaster
- First of all, it is necessary to prepare the walls before applying the plaster on the surface. Specialists advise skeptical to refer to the quality of the surface, as if planned to apply a layer of paint. Accordingly, the wall should not have significant flaws, among which tubercles and intoulability, as well as scratches. The thing is that some species of putty have a property to completely repeat the specific surfaces. Ultimately, even minor scratches will be visible on the surface.
- It is also necessary to carry out the surface of the surface with a latex deep-rotor composition. He must dry for an hour. In addition, it is worth it in mind that there can be wallpapers or other materials around the place of application of plaster. In this situation, it is advisable to arm a painting scotch and protect all those objects that can suffer when applying plaster. Similar activities need to be carried out in cases where it is necessary to carry out the painting of the surface.
- Application of the composition comes from one corner to another. It must be remembered that the mixture is only half the wall, and the rest to leave for tomorrow is a rough error, since the inhomogeneity of the plaster may be a serious problem. It should also be borne in mind that before applying acrylic material, it is necessary to stir thoroughly, since the mixture is adjusted during storage.
- Metal spatula, putty need to be applied to the celma, with which the mixture is evenly distributed over the surface. The layer must have a thickness of no more than 2 mm.
- Next follows another stage of work. It is necessary to arm the polyethylene, which we will stick directly on putty. Obviously, the dimensions of the transparent material must be somewhat large than the surface in which work is carried out. Polyethylene is necessary in order to create the desired texture on the wall surface. Specialists recommend using a purw film that already has some texture, and it will be the best way to look on the surface.
- For days, it is possible to implement certain ideas related to the decoration of the wall throughout the day. Also, drawings can be applied using a spatula, but this process, as we have already mentioned earlier, occurs on the basis of still wet plaster, as the dry material will be simply falling apart. When using the moisture film from the wall surface, it evaporates long enough, so to create a decorative texture, this is the best solution.
- Already after the wall is completely dried, you need to arm a spatula or celma. Using the rib tool, you need to remove parts of the textures that are laid out. It should be done safely, since after the plaster dries out, it becomes very strong. Accordingly, those particles that are leaning are completely unnecessary. We also need a dry maclovec, with the help of which it is advisable to shift the very dust that appeared on the surface.
Ultimately, painting the surface is carried out. However, it all depends on the fact that at the end wants to get the owners. Practice shows that on the basis of plaster, you can realize a variety of ideas that, of course, can be a real decoration of the dwelling. Specialists advise not to be experimenting, since very often the owners are capable of implementing extremely successful projects. At the same time, you should not forget about various finished solutions, with which you can look at the apartment from a completely new side.
