Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can plaster be applied over drywall?

Drywall doesn't need plastering — it is primed and skim coated directly, or only the joints and screw heads are filled. Applying a thick plaster layer over drywall is not recommended as it increases weight and may damage the boards.

How long should plaster dry before painting?

Gypsum plaster dries sufficiently for skim coating in 24-48 hours. Skim coat dries in 24-72 hours depending on thickness and humidity. Painting can be done after at least 7-14 days from skim coat completion, to allow full drying and avoid cracks.
