Tips for the Installation and Execution of Wall Plastering

 Do you have any knowledge about wall plastering?

 To talk about wall plastering, it is necessary to know what plastering is? Plastering is the art of cutting and carving on plaster, which is carried out in various environments using special plastering tools. This art is used for decorative purposes on both the exterior and interior of buildings and dates back to ancient times. The use of plastering is very common in cases such as decorative plastering around the fireplace, plaster ceilings, Roman plastering, plastering around columns, plastering around chandeliers, and arch plastering, as well as plastering on walls. Plaster, due to its characteristics, is one of the most commonly used materials in traditional and even modern architecture. Plaster has the ability to set quickly and has excellent adhesion properties. It is also fire-resistant, and its relatively low cost compared to other building materials has made it widely used in the construction industry. Plastering on walls has been a common practice in our country and in most parts of the world for a long time. Plastering is a lasting art of our ancestors, which is very beautiful and attractive and is more economical and affordable compared to other decorations. Plaster is a useful and highly versatile material that is found in most parts of the world, which is why most architects and builders use it for interior decoration. Iranian artists and artists from other countries have been able to create extraordinary and beautiful plastering works using this material. For example, the plastering of the Zaman Museum, which dates back to the Qajar period and is located in Iran. Nowadays, the art of plastering is not forgotten, and many craftsmen and artists are active in this field throughout our country. One of the valuable features of plastering on walls is its ability to be painted. You can paint your desired design after plastering. Today, Iranian artists and craftsmen can create the most valuable and creative art works with the help of a material called plaster. With the help of plastering on walls, the beauty of the interior space of the house can be greatly increased, and it can have a positive effect on the morale of its residents.

Nowadays, plastering on walls is divided into two categories:

  • Manual plastering
  • Prefabricated plastering

Manual plastering is a traditional method that has been used by artists for thousands of years and is still popular. However, executing manual plastering requires a skilled and experienced person in this field to be able to create creative and valuable designs with their art. But with the introduction of prefabricated plastering into this field, a major transformation has taken place, and architects have been able to easily implement very beautiful designs with intricate details on the walls. With the help of prefabricated plastering, there is no need for skilled and expert individuals in this field, as all the designs are prepared in the workshop or factory in advance using special molds and are easily installed on the walls after being transferred to the project site. Usually, materials such as plaster, polystyrene foam, and polyurethane are used for prefabricated plastering to provide good resistance to pressure and impact. Nowadays, plastering on walls is considered part of the interior decoration of a building. Another feature of prefabricated plastering is that they are lighter compared to manual plastering because lighter materials are used to make them.

 Installation and Execution of Wall Plastering

The installation and execution of wall plastering, like other construction activities, require expertise and skill, and ordinary individuals cannot perform plastering as precisely as skilled craftsmen and specialists in this profession. To do this work, you must have experience and skill.

For modern plastering, special tools are required, the most important of which are:

  • Border designs
  • Background and surface designs

In addition, manual plastering also requires special tools, the most important of which are:

  • Plaster trowel
  • Istanbul
  • Damper
  • Bumkhar
  • Verdenge
  • Earth pencil
  • And…

 With the help of these tools, a skilled craftsman can execute wall plastering according to your desired plan and design. These tools help the craftsman perform cutting, engraving, embossing, and bordering on the wall. For the installation of prefabricated plastering, there is no need for tools for cutting, engraving, embossing, and bordering because all the designs are pre-made in the factory using special molds and are only installed on the walls at the project site. The speed of executing prefabricated plastering is higher than that of manual plastering. If you want your project to be completed quickly and at a lower cost, I recommend using prefabricated plastering.
