What to check before hiring a plastering

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between plaster and skim coat?
Plaster is the thick layer (1-3 cm) that levels the wall and covers irregularities in masonry or concrete. Skim coat is a thin layer (1-3 mm) applied over the plaster to achieve a smooth, paint-ready surface. Skim coat without a base plaster layer won't hold long-term if the wall isn't already flat.
Can I paint directly over old plaster without skim coating?
If the plaster is flat and solid, a leveling primer can be applied and then painted. However, skim coat ensures a smoother, more uniform surface, resulting in a higher quality paint finish, especially for washable or matte paints.
What is machine-applied plaster and when is it used?
Machine-applied plaster is sprayed with special pumps and is more uniform and faster than manual plastering. It's advantageous for large surfaces (apartment blocks, large houses) and significantly reduces working time. For small surfaces or hard-to-reach areas, manual plastering is preferred.
How long does plastering and skim coating take for an apartment?
A 60-80 sqm apartment (plaster + skim coat) can be completed in 7-14 working days, depending on surface condition and number of coats. Add drying time between coats (24-48 hours per coat).
Is priming required before skim coat?
Yes, priming the surface before skim coat application is mandatory. Primer reduces water absorption from the substrate, improves skim coat adhesion, and prevents future cracking or peeling.
What plaster is used in bathrooms or kitchens?
In wet areas, cement-based or water-resistant plaster is recommended. Gypsum plaster is not recommended in bathrooms unless subsequently covered with tiles or a waterproofing membrane.
