Q. Why plastering is required?
Plaster protects structure from temperature variations; external attacks of sulphates, chlorides, etc. Plaster also provides smooth & aesthetic surface on RCC & Brickwork surface.
Q. What precautions should be taken during plaster works?
- Preferably use cements which releases low heat of hydration. Blended Cement is a good choice.
- Use optimum water at the time of mixing.
- Do not use dry cement on the plaster surface.
- At the junction of Brickwork & RCC, chicken mesh or fibre mesh may be used.
- Wet the surface before plastering.
- Cure the surface for at least 10 to 12 days.
