As it is possible to execute plaster of walls the hands

What is plaster, know many. It is the finishing giving to the building a complete look, serving for protection of designs against adverse effects, prolonging construction service life. It is possible to entrust its performance to plasterers pros, but even the beginner can do plaster of walls the hands.

Practice and knowledge of some bases is for this purpose necessary. And the skill comes with experience. For what plaster is necessary? How to make plaster of walls in a new building? What is necessary for plaster of walls? We will try to answer questions, important for the beginner, here.

For what it is necessary to plaster walls in the apartment

Even an interior in style the loft – only imitation by plaster under concrete of the raw wall surfaces. Plaster of walls in the apartment solves in a complex many problems.

Plaster covering:

  • strengthens a bricklaying;
  • protects concrete, gas-concrete surfaces from penetration of dampness from air;
  • prevents formations of fungal or mouldy defeat;
  • protects wood from cracking, rotting, insects, rodents;
  • levels uneven surfaces of walls, ceilings;
  • serves as additional heater;
  • absorbs noise;
  • creates a comfortable microclimate in the apartment;
  • omonolichivat the internal surface of the room of the apartment, sealing seams and joints of designs;
  • protects wood from ignition;
  • protects structures of the building from external influence;
  • levels surfaces according to state standards therefore facing by a tile or gypsum cardboard, pasting by wall-paper, painting is facilitated.

To change a wall or a partition more expensive, than to change, or to repair plaster vestments. Modern plaster structures please with durability, – service life reaches 25 and more years. Plastering of walls of the house at the same time resolves many problems.

Main types of plaster

As construction material and as a type of finishing plaster structures is known from antiquity. The antique Latin name – styuk, stukko remained till our time.

Plaster structures are:

Further the speech will be about plaster for internal finishing of walls.

Finishing solutions happen:

  • decorative,
  • usual,
  • special.

Ordinary structures are applied to draft plaster of walls and ceilings, an omonolichivaniye of joints.

Depending on quality of performance of a surface plaster finishing happens:

  • high-quality – finishing of walls readily under painting or a sticker of wall-paper, is carried out obryzgy, multilayered putting soil and the finishing nakryvka;
  • improved – for utility rooms in houses and also, for draft finishing, consists of three layers – an obryzg, soil (the main layer), the nakryvka leveled by the rule and jammed by a gladilka;
  • the plain plaster consisting of two layers – an obryzg and soil, is applied without proveshivaniye, filled up with a polutyorok, applied to plastering of cellars, warehouses, utility rooms.

The decorative structures differing in texture and color apply to finishing finishing which does not need wall-paper, facing or coloring. Special plaster structures apply to performance of certain tasks. For example, they are used for additional thermal insulation of the apartment (heat-insulating plaster), by protection against the ionizing iatrotechnics beams (barytic plaster), treatments of crude walls of the house (sanifying).

Functional additives are a part of plaster solutions water (or solvent) and also the binding, making bases, fillers. As the main components of plaster structures are the knitting substances after hardening becoming similar to a stone or plastic, plaster structures classify by the form bases.

Further we will consider usual plasters

Cement

From the name it is clear that the main knitting substance of this look is cement. The simplest plaster structure – cement and sand. Finishing is strong, frost-resistant, inexpensive. It suits for internal and street plaster works. Perhaps manual or mechanical drawing. On sale is available in the form of dry mixes (CC) which part the modifying additives are. Solution can be prepared by the hands independently.

It is cement limy

Lime as substance to plastering began to be applied long before the invention of cement. Plaster limy solutions of a vysokoplastichna. Using this quality, lime is applied as additional binding in cement and limy solutions.

Perhaps manual drawing or the mechanized plastering. The structure is trained independently, or buy ready dry plaster mix. It is applied to draft and decorative finishing. Is suitable for finishing of wooden surfaces.

Plaster

The natural material which is easily stacked, plastic. More expensively than the previous plaster mixes, however has the advantages. Plaster structures carry out high-quality plaster of walls of rooms with normal humidity. CC are issued also decorative. Drawing manual and mechanized. It is good for foam concrete.

Clay

Natural knitting, applied not only in rural houses. Clay is eco-friendly, promotes maintenance of a favorable microclimate in the house. The clay plaster covering can be put with hands. Waste practically does not happen. Even the dried solution can be wetted, mixed and applied on the basis again. It is maintainable.

Decorative

This type of plaster materials is most various. CC and ready solutions make many companies, both Russian, and Italian, French, German and others. Are issued on mineral, acrylic, silicate, silicone, polymeric bases. Distinguish impressive, structural, color, kameshkovy, terrazitovy structures.

What mix it is the best of all to perform works

The choice of mix for plastering depends on several factors:

  • basis material;
  • appointments (technical for alignment or finishing);
  • degrees of roughness of the basis (big or small differences);
  • requirements of resistance to the damp environment (the increased or normal humidity);
  • service conditions (whether chemically aggressive Wednesday, temperature condition);
  • strength characteristics (speed of set of durability and brand);
  • difficulties of performance of plaster work (can be decisive for beginners or in case of geometrically difficult surface).
If plaster of walls is planned by the hands, then those that stick to the basis better more are suitable for the beginner, keep within easier, have the big term of life and quickly gain durability.

Plasterers pros recommend plaster finishing. It is easily put, formed, quickly hardens.

What ways of drawing exist

Depending on the size of the plastered surface and also the entering components ways of putting plaster can be:

  • manual (trowel, roller, trowel, ladle or just hands);
  • mechanized (with use of a hopper, plaster cars).

The choice of a way of drawing is often dictated by what plaster coat can be put for pass. When working manually some types of mixes put with a layer up to 6 cm thick. Mechanical drawing is limited to creation of a layer up to 20 mm.

Among manual ways of plaster of walls distinguish ways of drawing:

  • the technical (leveling) finishing with use of beacons or without them;
  • decorative (drawing by various tools, formation of a surface different receptions) finishings.

Manual drawing

Plaster of walls the hands consists in putting solution on the basis a hand tool, leveling, smoothing down or formation of an impressive surface for one pass or in consecutive creation of a multilayered covering. Manual plaster of walls is usually carried out at the small area of a covering, the general thickness of a layer of alignment to 10 – 12 cm, performance of finishing impressive finishing. At multilayered finishing each layer is dried.

The mechanized drawing

It is rational to use this way of performance of plaster works when there is an optimum combination of speed of plastering, the small cost of materials (a part of means is saved for expensive machine works), the large volume of a covering.

Plaster of walls with use of the plaster car is more economical on:

  • to expenses of forces;
  • to the spent time;
  • to consumption of plaster materials;
  • to financial expenditure for acquisition of plaster mixes which for machine works are cheaper.

Other pluses:

  • small volumes of waste;
  • uniformity of imposing and prize in quality, due to machine control of a ratio of CC – water;
  • supply of mix on a surface under pressure increases adhesion with the basis;
  • due to uniformity of mixing and imposing of a layer the general strength characteristics of mechanical finishing are higher, than manual.

Minuses: not always, not everywhere it is applicable

The mechanical equipment for plaster variously on complexity level. Apply small-scale mechanization (hoppers, sprays) or, even, the machine devices which are carrying out a zatvoreniye of plaster mix and drawing it at air supply by the compressor.

Apply mix, holding a nozzle in 20 – 30 cm from a wall, moving a working part of the device along a surface with an identical speed. After completion of work all details adjoining to solution wash out, dry. Use of eye protections is obligatory.

Seal of cracks

New buildings can undergo shrinkage process within one or two years. Plastering of new houses mineral plaster solutions during this period leads to emergence of cracks. Cracks meet also in houses the big term of operation. All cracks need under repair. Special repair is demanded by big cracks. "Heal" such defects with application of the reinforcing grids.

Cracks count up disclosure to 5 mm small. They are allowed to be covered with hard putty or cement, more liquid, than masonry, solution. The average cracks opened up to 10 mm on a surface "treat" TsPS solution (cement and sand), previously having embroidered. Large (more than 10 mm) educations sanify TsPS solution with use of crushed stone and reinforcing.

Solution is tried to be pumped in a crack crack more deeply, using for this purpose the construction syringe. The site of a brick and concrete wall before seal of cracks solution is cleaned from dust, humidified. Over the site with the covered body of a crack impose a piece of a grid which fix to a wall self-tapping screws. Plaster the site over a grid.
