Plasters: mineral and cement/lime

Looking in terms of composition and names are exactly the same types of plaster - cement-lime, which is inherently mineral plasters. Each cement-lime plaster, as the name suggests is made up of cement, lime, filler (which is usually sand or sometimes tiny grains of quartz), sometimes with the addition of chemicals having to change or improve certain properties that are desirable or, on the contrary. An important component not only lime is a mixture of plasticizers, as well as having anti-fungal properties. Mineral plaster and is one for which all the ingredients are minerals.

Gray plaster, of course, does not need the usual white cement, but plaster white or color - yes. White cement is necessary, necessary to be able to obtain soft colors (on the outside) or white (in the middle).

That's what I write below, may be a bit controversial, but I believe that well-mixed by a team of construction cement-lime plaster is much better quality than those bought in the bag, even at the relatively high price. This happens because of the fact that decent material cost (including myself cement and fillers), and the strength and power of the plaster can be quite considerable limits - adjust, increase or reduce the amount of cement as a binding material. On the other hand, what is in the bags does not control the one, as the main determinant of market position is not quality, and price. And this is usually only one, the quality is not important

Exterior plaster of cement and lime, as these internal mainly differ in texture and method of application. Those on the outside must have some texture, which automatically associated with coarse grain - up to 10 mm, the inside are usually erased smoothly - which means that the grain and has to be smaller, not giving the correct application of any invoice.

In fact, every color, which are tinted types of plaster, means that there used white cement. The obstacle to staining on the site, on the spur of the moment here and now is that the amount of pigment must be meted out very carefully, because otherwise it does not work out a uniform hue.

Plaster, whether cement-lime or mineral - you can buy ready-made (which usually means that "water and on the wall") or mix on the spot. They can be applied in different ways - plastering unit,mechanically, manually.

In fact, the difference in costs compared to the gray plaster is not very high especially in relation to the total investment, and the effects can be sensational. The more that these plasters, well seized and well made - no need to paint - are white, bright, and can give an interesting visual effect. It takes so little ...

Staining and some fragments, some whole other colors - can be achieved without painting effects that will impress every architect, and not painting, not imposing additional layers capable everything that you can just get yourself applying plaster.

Such ideas may arise not only from investors, but also among designers, architects who design interiors of apartments, houses, aim to create interesting proposals for their clients. Similarly, the external plaster from those with texture and grain up to 10 mm, known as cyclin, which are now very rare, other types of mineral plasters - with a slightly finer filling. Too bad - because somewhat forgotten, because of various reasons not considered a full-fledged material gives a very high potential use in construction practice. They are not recognized, because what can be done with gray ... and yet there is only gray, but the blaze of colors that can be actually quite arbitrary shape. Just use your imagination and know that there is such a thing as white cement, which gives really great opportunities.
