Types of material in chemical composition
This material is customary to divide the types according to several criteria. According to fillers and chemical composition, this coating is divided into the following types:
- Mineral plaster is a facing coating that is made on the basis of cement and lime. It has the appearance of a dry mixture, which must be stirred in water before use until the necessary consistency is obtained. The composition of the plaster of this type may include marble crumbs. The volume of the relief will depend on the size of these interspersed. Mineral material has universal properties and is suitable both for the interior decoration of the room, and for the decoration of the outside of the facade.
- The silicone coating is characterized by the properties of elasticity and sufficient vapor permeability. The main advantage of such a coating is the ease of care. If the facade of the room is faced with a silicone coating, then it is sufficiently slightly rain to clean it so that the surface will return to its original state. Despite the high cost of products, it was this condition that became the reason that the silicone type of plaster is chosen mainly for the exterior decoration of buildings.
- Polymer or acrylic coating is a water-dispersion mixture that is completely ready for the application process. The composition of such a coating has a certain filler: it can be a glass of glass, ash waste, marble. Polymer plaster is resistant to various atmospheric phenomena, however, it has a low steam -resistance coefficient. Therefore, it is not recommended to decorate the facades of the premises.
- Silicate plaster - is a mineral substance, which uses liquid potassium glass. It serves as an astringent component of the solution. This type of finishing material is characterized by high vapor permeability, so it is optimal for decorating any type of room.
Types of plaster according to the structure of the picture
According to the structure of the formed image, such varieties of decorative coating can be distinguished:

The decoration of the walls with this plaster implies the initially applying glue, and then pouring decorative crumbs so that it sticks to the surface. After the glue dries, the protective composition should be applied to the surface.
- The structural plaster coating is a granular mass of a heterogeneous nature with the presence of granules. The embossed plaster, the photo of which is decorated with designer publications, can be used for both external and internal cladding. In the case of decoration of the internal surfaces of the room, it is recommended to use the coating exclusively on a water -based. This is due to the fact that the material is distinguished by environmental safety, reliability and ease of application.
