Decorative plaster is a solution used for finishing walls outside public buildings and private houses, as well as inside apartments, offices and other premises. Its main purpose is to improve the aesthetic and decorative qualities of the surface. In this article we will consider all types of decorative plaster for walls.

The word “plaster” is of Italian origin and is literally translated as “plaster” or “alabaster”. Compound plaster mixture for decoration has common components with ordinary plaster- this is sand, lime, cement, but its main difference is the addition of various granules - dry bulk substances in the form of small granules, for example, stone chips, wood fibers, etc.

• Decorative plasters can be sold in finished form, that is, previously diluted with water or a special solvent, such mixtures can be immediately used for work. Dry components can also be supplied, which must be diluted according to the instructions before application.
• Depending on the final result and the design idea, you can independently add various fillers to the decorative plaster: small pieces of mica, shells or small pebbles, which, after the layer of plaster has hardened, will look organic on the wall. In addition, in this way it is possible to achieve the effect of additional surface volume.

Types of decorative plaster for walls

The surface can be decorated different ways For example, simple plaster can decorate a wall, giving it a perfectly smooth structure. Of course, thanks to the special composition, it became possible to obtain a relief effect, achieve a glossy surface or imitate any natural materials without much effort.

Decorative plaster is distinguished according to several principles. For example, by type of filler it can be:

• textured;
• structural;
• Venetian

Textured and structural appearance form a rough surface and are usually called relief plasters, while Venetian plasters form a perfectly smooth surface, so they are classified as a smooth type of plasters.

All listed types are produced on an environmentally friendly basis. pure substances, due to which they are considered safe, reliable and durable materials.

There are several types of plaster based on the binder used.

• Acrylic. The binder is a high molecular weight polymer (acrylic resin), which ensures good elasticity of the applied layer. It may contain organic and inorganic pigments, thanks to which the composition acquires different colors. Acrylic decorative plaster is sold as ready mixture. The disadvantage of this type of coating is low vapor permeability, so the material is limited in use. Plaster is also susceptible to UV rays, and over time the coating may begin to crack. Acrylic resin in the composition allows you to paint the mixture in any desired color using pigment pastes.

• Mineral. The binder is cement. It has a relatively low price and is most often produced in the form of a dry mixture, which must be diluted with water before use. An excellent option for decorative plaster for bathroom walls and for exterior use. In humid weather, add a little less water to the solution. It is considered the most environmentally friendly decorative material. Over time, such a coating only becomes stronger, has good resistance to UV rays, but is afraid of mechanical damage, in addition, it is not advisable to wash it with devices using high pressure. The standard color of such plaster is considered to be light.
• Silicone. The binding component is synthetic resins. Used for exterior decoration and interior work Ah, it has plasticity and ease of application. They are resistant to UV rays and do not attract dust and foreign odors. When applied, it forms a moisture-repellent layer, due to which silicone decorative plaster is used for cladding external walls in areas of high humidity. Available in the form of a ready-made mixture in various colors.
• Silicate. The binder is liquid glass (alkaline potassium carbonate, quartz sand and potassium hydroxide). It is distinguished by the high strength of the applied layer, resistance to mold and rot, as well as the ability to repel water. The mixture has impregnating, adhesive and astringent qualities. It can be used on almost any surface and has excellent fire resistance and vapor permeability. Supplied as a ready-mix, various color shades. One of the most reliable plasters, its service life can reach 50 years or more.

Silicate and silicone plasters are most often used for finishing facades and during construction in humid climates.

Textured plaster

• This is a plaster with a coarse, highly viscous structure. The filler is flax fibers, wood, mica, mineral chips (granite, marble) or small pebbles. It is used for decorating brick, concrete, plastered, and wooden surfaces. Excellent for exterior decoration and interior work.

• Thanks to special particles in the composition, textured plaster hides large defects and most surface irregularities. To apply it, practically no preliminary preparation of the walls is required; it is enough to dry and clean them; if there are peeling coatings, they should be removed, and then an adhesive composition or a special “concrete contact” solution should be applied, this is necessary for reliable adhesion of the plaster to the wall.
• The applied layer is highly hard, waterproof and forms an air-permeable coating. The resulting surface can be an imitation of natural stone, genuine leather, wood or fabric. Among the types of decorative plaster, textured is the most common; in addition, it has a relatively low price.
• The plaster is supplied for sale in various containers, weighing 9, 18, and 50 kg, dry and ready for use. It can be tinted in any color when applied, or painted after drying. Average consumption up to 2 kg per 1 m2. The larger the filler, the more composition is required to apply one layer. It is not recommended to use plaster for external work during rains or humid weather, and at temperatures up to + 7 degrees.
• You can apply textured plaster without using highly specialized tools, and there is no need to involve professionals; even when decorating the walls yourself, you get many design options.

Subtypes of textured plaster

• Lamb- the plaster has stone grains of various sizes, is applied to mineral bases, the surface is rough and evenly grained.

• Fur coat- the surface after application is rough, in the form of a slight “hairiness”, the main component of this mixture is cement.

• Bark beetle- composite plaster, with fine stone filler, when applied, forms a grooved texture reminiscent of the surface of corroded wood.

The peculiarity of textured plaster is that the surface relief appears immediately after application.

Structural plaster

• A material with a thin-layer structure, made on an acrylic or silicate base. Marble chips or quartz elements are used as a structure-forming substance. Outwardly it looks like a granular heterogeneous mass. It is used for decorating walls indoors and finishing facades.

• It may be fine-grained and look like an almost even layer when applied, or medium-grained; after such plaster dries, a peculiar relief appears. Has good adhesion to most mineral surfaces, plasterboard and chipboard.
• Structural plaster forms a layer with excellent breathability, resistant to moisture and atmospheric conditions. Available in 9, 18 and 50 kg packages. Supplied as a ready-made mixture, adding coloring pigments to the composition is not allowed. Apply with a trowel to a dry, clean surface, pre-treated with a deep penetration primer. The consumption rate when applied in one layer is 3 kg per m2.
• It is not recommended to use in damp rooms or during rain during outdoor work; the air temperature should be above +7 degrees. Plaster can be applied using various methods and tools: a smooth spatula, a roller or a sprayer. So, to obtain the effect of waves, coarse-grained plaster is used, which is applied in a circular motion using a spatula.
• Very often, structural plaster is used for finishing walls in corridors and bathrooms, as well as for finishing facades, fences and gates. For interior work, it is recommended to use water-based, quick-drying and odorless material. The resulting surface is quite impact-resistant and resistant to mechanical damage. Wet cleaning of the plastered wall is allowed.

Venetian plaster

• This phrase appeared as a result of the literal translation of the phrase “stucco veneziano”. It is a decorative multilayer coating. This plaster mixture is made with the addition marble chips and slaked lime. It has a fairly homogeneous structure. It became widespread in ancient Rome, when when working with marble a lot of dust and small particles remained, which began to be used as a material for cladding.

• Visually, the finished layer resembles the surface of natural marble or onyx. Proper finishing with Venetian plaster requires special skill. It should be applied with a flexible rubber spatula, in thin strokes, in several layers (5-6), each of which requires thorough drying. The material is quite expensive, but the resulting effect fully justifies its price. Most often, Venetian plaster is used in rooms decorated in antique or classic style, as well as in the Baroque style.
• Thanks to various application methods, you can achieve a matte or glossy surface. Plaster is intended for indoor use only. The mixture can be tinted. Available in containers of 8 and 16 kg. The surface to be decorated must be clean, level and dry. Before facing the walls, it is recommended to pre-reinforce them, and then putty and prime them. If the technology is violated, cracks may form on the decorative plaster, which are very difficult to get rid of.
• In addition to the stone surface, Venetian plaster can imitate precious metals, due to special coloring with special pigments. Using this type of finishing indoors, you can achieve the effect of increasing space due to the refraction of light. This coating often acts as a basis for complex panels and frescoes.

Specific types of decorative plaster

• Colored plaster - made on the basis of acrylic and marble chips. It has high adhesion to mineral surfaces, water resistance and sufficient hardness. The color range is represented by fifteen shades. Apply to a dry, clean surface in one layer. To prevent noticeable joints, the mixture must be brought to the corner. Equally suitable for both external and internal work.

• Roller plaster- contains filler of natural origin of various fractions from 1 mm to 2.5 mm. When applied, a texture with small channels-indentations is formed. It is used for decorating facades and decorating walls inside office and residential premises. Tinting or surface painting is allowed. It is applied to the surface with a wide spatula and then rubbed with a trowel in circular, cross-shaped, vertical or horizontal movements.

• Latex plastic- allows you to create a smooth coating with a slight gloss, imitating the texture of smooth stone or marble, as well as various relief surfaces. The material is resistant to cracking and has high moisture resistance, making the plastered surface easy to clean. The mixture can be tinted in various colors, at the same time, to achieve the effect of structure natural stone, do not mix the colors thoroughly. The mixture is applied only to smooth walls, previously plastered and treated with a deep penetration primer.

• "Wet Silk"- the coating, reminiscent of the surface of a fabric, contains mother-of-pearl particles, the iridescence of which imitates the iridescence of flowing silk. Tinting in any color is allowed; initially several color variations are available: white, gold, garnet, silver and bronze. The resulting surface is highly moisture resistant and tolerates wet cleaning. An excellent option for decorative plaster for kitchen walls.
• "Sea breeze"- the coating has a translucent structure, with a slight pearlescent tint. Fine-grained sand is added to the composition. It can be tinted and is available in several basic colors: gold, white, garnet, bronze and chameleon. Used for interior decoration.

Decorative plaster of walls in the apartment

To obtain a high-quality decorative coating, the solution should be applied using tools that are free from defects, damage, chips, cracks or nicks. Each type of plaster mixture requires its own finishing methods and techniques to give the surface expressiveness and special artistic properties.

Venetian plaster

• Venetian plaster, to develop the required pattern, requires multi-layer application. The work is carried out using stainless steel painting tools of various widths (trowel, spatula). The main layer is applied with the widest tool, leaving gaps on the surface. The strokes are made wide and asymmetrical. All subsequent layers must cover the gaps of the previous application. To make it more expressive, each layer can have its own color shade.

• The applied layers are dried one by one, each of them is leveled and additionally ground with a smooth steel tool. This method is called ironing, due to which the surface acquires glossy look. If additional shine is required, the plaster can be coated with a special varnish or wax. Due to translucent layers, the effect of depth and volume is achieved.

Relief decorative plaster

• Finishing with relief decorative plaster occurs a little differently. In this case, no special treatment of the walls is required, as for applying smooth plasters. It is enough to remove old finishing materials (painting, wallpaper, whitewash), clean and dry the surface.
• After which the walls are treated with a primer. This procedure is carried out about a day before finishing with relief plaster. It is best if the primer composition has antibacterial properties that prevent the development of fungi and mold.
• The plaster mixture is applied to the primed surface with a wide soft spatula. Immediately after this, it is necessary to give the layer a relief. This should be done very quickly, as the composition sets instantly.

• You can obtain the desired pattern on textured plaster using tools such as spatulas, sponges, rollers, smoothers or stencils. For example, when using a rubber roller, you should wet it in water before each application of texture. The work is carried out immediately over the entire area of ​​the wall (from corner to corner), otherwise noticeable seams cannot be avoided.

Structural plaster

• Structural plaster is applied with a stainless steel trowel. The layer should be slightly larger than the grain size. The treated surface is kept for 2-3 minutes, and then smoothed in a circle with a plastic trowel.
• This method ensures uniform distribution of the granules contained in the composition over the treated surface. Excess mixture is regularly removed from the trowel with a small spatula.
• Structural plaster, like textured plaster, forms joints during application, so work is carried out from corner to corner at a time.

Advice: if there is a need to paint relief plaster, then you should do this 10-14 days after application.

Basic coating care

The decorative coating formed by relief or smooth plaster is quite durable and resistant to mechanical damage and atmospheric conditions, so no special care is required in the first year after application.

• This material does not absorb odors and does not attract dust, and also contains water-repellent substances, due to which the surface, if necessary, can be easily washed with ordinary detergents without chemical fillers. When cleaning, it is better to use a soft cloth or sponge, avoiding hard brushes, metal scrapers, pumice stones or plastic.
• To increase the service life of the plaster coating, special waxes or glazing compounds are applied over the dried decorative layer. Artificial or beeswax helps to increase the waterproofing of the surface, and when applied to Venetian plaster, it provides additional shine.
• The wax composition is supplied ready-made. With its help, you can emphasize the smallest details and the depth of the relief applied decorating mixtures, while increasing their resistance to mechanical stress, appearing additional protection from dust, dirt and moisture. Protective wax is available in two versions: with a mother-of-pearl effect, having a silver-white tint, and in a translucent form, with a yellowish tint.

• This product must be applied in a double layer using a spatula, sponge or brush, and after drying, polished with a soft cloth. Wax surfaces cannot be cleaned with solvents; only a soap solution or clean water is allowed.
• Glazing is an almost transparent, light coating designed to give an additional shade; in addition, it adds volume and emphasizes the contours of the relief. It can have several shades that imitate gold-plated, silver or bronze surfaces, as well as simply white, transparent or iridescent color. The product is applied with a brush, sponge, rubber spatula or special mitten. Can be washed with detergents or soapy water.

Protective compounds are used for all types of plaster used for finishing walls indoors and outdoors. Thanks to such means, it will last longer, will not crumble or crumble, which means its maintenance will be minimal.

How to renew a decorative plaster coating

If you need to remove decorative coating from a wall, you can use several methods:

• repainting in a different color - done when it is necessary to change the color scheme;
• removal to the concrete base - when it is necessary to apply another version of plaster;
• puttying over the layer to a smooth, even wall - such a surface can be finished with a light decorative material, for example, wallpaper.

Decorative plaster for walls video

When choosing decorative plaster, it is impossible to say which type is better or worse. It all depends on everyone’s personal preference and the requirements put forward for the finished result, as well as the availability of a certain budget, because the price of decorative plaster for walls sometimes differs by an order of magnitude. It is quite easy to apply one mixture, for example, textured and structural, and you can do it yourself, but applying Venetian plaster will require the involvement of specialists. You must remember this when purchasing decorative coating.

Interior decoration of apartments and private houses has long been not limited to wall coverings. Today, the range of materials allows you to bring to life any original design idea. However, it rightfully occupies a special niche on the shelves of construction stores. We will present photos of the interior in today's article, but it is worth understanding the types of such building mixtures, understanding how to choose the composition, and whether it is possible. You should not ignore the cost of decorative plaster for walls. Let's start the conversation with the areas of application of this amazing (let's not be afraid of this word) material.

Decorative plaster is a universal finishing material that creates interiors, textures and volumes. This putty is used in apartments, private houses, cafes, restaurants, hotels... the list goes on for a long time. The first mentions of such a mixture appeared in the Middle Ages. Then it was made from natural materials. Today, natural stone and other components have replaced acrylic compounds, and the putty itself has become available to all segments of the population.

Advantages and disadvantages of this finishing material

The advantages of such mixtures are many times greater than the disadvantages. Let's try to list them:

1. When finishing with a decorative mixture, you do not need to pre-level the walls. Surface treatment is limited to applying primer;
2. the viscosity of the composition allows it to be easily applied to semicircular surfaces;
3. If applied correctly, seams and joints will not be visible. It appears as if the wall was plastered in one continuous layer;
4. the use of white decorative plaster leaves the right of tinting to the master. Paint is added while stirring the mixture;
5. an extensive assortment allows you to choose the interior style planned by the home craftsman;
6. additional protection in the form of special varnishes preserves the plastered surface from abrasion;
7. Water-based putties can be restored in case of chipping.

Against the background of the above positive aspects, the shortcomings are lost, but we cannot ignore them:

1. Such finishing material, built less than 5 years ago, is not used. Subsidence, which is mandatory in such cases, contributes to the appearance of cracks on the walls. The same applies to buildings in a seismic zone;
2. Such coatings are not tolerated. If a special varnish protects against a small level, then it will not help in the bathroom;
3. A significant argument against it for home craftsmen is the high cost of putty, although today the price has dropped compared to the level of two or three years ago.

Decorative plaster: names of types with photo examples

The main types are structural, textured and Venetian plaster. However, do not forget about types that imitate expensive materials. These include marble, flock (silk) or marbled putty. Each of these types is special in its own way, and therefore we will consider them in detail, having familiarized ourselves with photographs of plastered different mixtures and wall methods.

The properties of all types are identical and depend on the components of the mixture (we will discuss this in detail below), but the appearance is different.

Textured finishing material and its appearance

The name of the type already indicates that the applied finishing material has a clearly defined texture. Applying such a coating is not difficult, the cost is relatively low, which makes the mixture popular among finishing craftsmen.

There are 3 main textures - “lamb” (the coating resembles animal hair with curls), “fur coat” (gradually losing popularity) and “bark beetle” (more difficult to apply, has the appearance of a tree with grooves similar to the result of the work of a bark beetle).

A photo of textured decorative plaster for interior work can be seen below:

Helpful information! This material has a very significant advantage - the result is noticeable immediately after application. You don't have to wait to see it completely dry.

What is the difference between structural putty

The peculiarity of this mixture is that the master never knows what the surface structure will be after complete drying. It will not be possible to set a specific direction for the patterns. Such mixtures cannot be applied in damp areas. If you want to decorate your bathroom walls with this material, you need to ensure low air humidity until the putty dries completely. We invite you to see photos of wall decoration with structural decorative plaster:

Venetian plaster and its features

Applying this putty requires experience and skill. A home handyman who has not performed such work is unlikely to be able to do everything correctly. This smooth decorative plaster after application looks like marble, which becomes matte or glossy, depending on the finishing coating. Another difficulty in using it is that the surface requires careful preparation before application.

Interesting information! Using this material you can create the appearance of not only natural stone, but also various precious metals. This effect is achieved by adding special pigments to the mixture.

One of the varieties of this type of application can be called Leonardo plaster, photos of which are presented in a small gallery:

Flock or silk plaster: photos in the interior and some advantages

After application and finishing coat it looks like flowing silk with pearlescent tints. On the shelves it is presented in the following colors: golden, silver, bronze or garnet tone, as well as white, which can be tinted.

Good to know! It is not recommended to clean washable decorative plaster with hard metal brushes or abrasives. To remove contaminants, gel-based products without caustic chemical components are suitable.

Photos of hallway interiors with decorative plaster are presented below:

Features of applying decorative plaster in the bedroom

There are no differences in composition from the previous version. Any types and compositions are applicable. But if in the hallway it is more acceptable light shade, then the bedroom needs a dark, deep color scheme. The use of a mixed interior is encouraged here. Materials such as or embossed gypsum panels are compatible with putty. An interesting option with fabric is that drapery gives a unique charm to the room and intimacy to the atmosphere.

Helpful information! A bedroom is a room in which mechanical damage to the walls is minimized, unlike the corridor. This means that wax can be used as a finishing coat. It will give the wall a gloss that visually resembles a glass coating.

Using decorative plaster in the toilet and bathroom

For such premises you need material that is resistant to moisture. As in the kitchen, a good choice would be to purchase acrylic or silicate mixtures. Plaster for such premises is more expensive due to the inclusion of impurities in its composition that prevent the appearance of fungus and mold. Often, façade mixtures for exterior finishing work are used for similar purposes.

Important information! Despite the fact that bark beetle plaster is resistant to moisture, it is not worth finishing bathrooms and bathrooms with it. Water will accumulate in the grooves, which will eventually lead to rusty or limescale stains on the walls. Moreover, their appearance does not depend in any way on the color or shade of the wall.

Decorative plaster: photo in the living room interior

There is room for your imagination to run wild here. home handyman. Various combinations of materials, playing with colors and styles of applying putty, and even the possibility of plastering the ceiling to look like “Venetian” or “silk”. The option with a ceiling, with the right approach, will help make the living room larger and higher (visually, of course). It should be understood that if the hallway gives the first impressions of the owners, then the living room is the soul of the entire house or apartment, where a lot of time will be spent. This indicates the need for tinting bright hues. Pearlescent and metallic shades like gold, silver or bronze will help add expressiveness. But you shouldn't abuse them.

Using several different techniques After applying plaster, you can create a panel, landscape or painting on the wall - this depends on the artistic skills of the master. If you have no experience or desire to perform such work, you can turn to professional plasterers for help, but no experienced craftsman will be able to implement what the owner himself will do. We agree that it is difficult, but nothing is impossible. The work will progress slowly, but the result will amaze not only the guests, but also the home craftsman himself.

Several reviews about decorative plaster from netizens

The picture would not be complete without reviews of decorative plaster from people who decorated their houses and apartments with such mixtures.

Milakisa, Russia, Ekaterinburg: I am a designer. I try to test all new interesting interior solutions in my apartment before offering them to the customer. So I first applied decorative plaster to the walls in my bathroom, and then began to include it in design projects for a client. The choice in favor of this material was due to the fact that it is very practical. The resulting three-dimensional pattern is coated on top with a special wax, thanks to which the walls can be wiped with a wet cloth. And I also like the non-repeating relief pattern of this piercing, since it is applied manually, each section of the wall is not similar to the neighboring one...

Decorative plaster types

Types that do not require further finishing when decorating walls and ceilings are becoming increasingly fashionable. I must say - it is very convenient, quite beautiful and stylish. And if you take into account the fact that the plaster is made mainly from natural materials, then it is safe, in an environmental sense.

Types of decorative plaster

The building material has two main areas of application:

• external;
• internal.

There is also a universal decorative plaster used both indoors and on building facades.

Types of decorative plasters for walls and ceilings include the following elements:

• binder;
• filler;
• additives (in the form of thickeners, solvents, antiseptics, water-repellent substances).

We think it’s worth stopping at each element of decorative plaster and considering them in more detail.

Decorative coating base

The binding element, in turn, can be water-based and based on natural or synthetic resins.

Decorative plaster for ceilings and walls based on polyurethanes has high wear resistance, strength, resistance to aggressive operating conditions, and excellent adhesion. Polyurethane-based coatings are used in both interior and exterior applications.

Along with the advantages, there are also disadvantages. It can be noted that decorative plaster based on polyurethanes does not burn after complete drying, but if heated above 140°C, the resins that make up the decorative wall coating begin to release substances that have a detrimental effect on the human body.

As for water-based coatings, we can say that safety is much better here.

When heated, types of decorative plaster that are water-based do not emit harmful substances, but are inferior in other respects. The binders of water-based plaster are acrylic, styrene acrylic, polyvinyl acetate and butadiene - styrene components.

Decorative plaster, which contains acrylic resin, is resistant to ultraviolet radiation and heat, up to 90°C, and also has good water-repellent properties.

Styrene acrylic bases repel water even more actively, have good vapor conductivity and resistance to ultraviolet radiation, but when heated above 65°C they acquire a yellowish tint.

Butadiene - styrene bases have the highest level of moisture resistance, but they also acquire a yellow tint at 65°C and above, and do not have vapor conductivity properties at all.

Polyvinyl acetate bases have limited resistance to water, but withstand ultraviolet radiation in the form of direct sunlight and heating up to 90°C.

Filler for decorative plaster

Varieties of decorative plaster also differ in the type of filler. Everything is much simpler with them. Manufacturers use several types of natural stone, crushed to crumbs, ranging in size from 0.5 to 5 mm.

The crumbs of each of the materials used for the production of decorative coatings have their own unique properties:

• granite chips have an average level of adhesion to binder bases, as well as good resistance to mechanical damage (for example, scratches);
• quartz chips have the same basic properties as granite chips;
• marble chips, unlike the first two samples, have excellent adhesion parameters to the base, but their resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage is low.

Decorative plaster is divided according to the type of surface formed

The composition of decorative plaster directly affects the method of applying the material to the surface. There are several such methods:

• uniform – rough;
• furrowed;
• simulated.

Finishing walls or ceilings with decorative plaster is a very simple procedure. And considering the fact that you have to improvise a little, it can even be called enjoyable. So that this pleasant procedure is not overshadowed, you need to do some manipulations before purchasing decorative plaster.

For each type of coating, you need to select a material that is more suitable for this coating than others. Information on the compatibility of plaster with various types of coatings can be found on the labels. We strongly recommend that you read this information.

Before purchasing, be sure to check the expiration date of the material; if it has expired, working with such decorative plaster can turn into flour.

And finally, the fact that decorative plaster, the types of which, as you have seen, can be different, is sent from the place of manufacture to retail outlets in various forms:

• dry mixtures (which you can prepare for work yourself);
• mixtures that are completely ready for use.

The most popular types of finishing coatings in our country today:

• Venetian plaster;
• decorative (so-called roller plaster);
• textured plaster “sea breeze”.

Plaster is used as the final stage of covering the walls outside the building and inside to create a colorful interior. Finishing plastering indoors is carried out in order to level the walls and prepare them for painting or decorating with wallpaper.

But, you can achieve an excellent effect without wallpapering, by creating different types of relief surface, and using a variety of plastering techniques. The surface of the walls is modeled by giving different textures while the plaster has not yet hardened - such work must be done quickly enough and have sufficient experience in plastering.

Plaster is transferred from Italian language, like gypsum, and its composition includes such main components as sand, lime and cement. However, for the stronger decorative effect Various granules and bulk substances in the form of stone chips, shells, pieces of mica and wood fibers are added to the plaster mixture. In addition to the colorful effect, the inclusions achieve additional perspective volume.

At the base of the plaster mineral based lies lime, to which particles of other inclusions are added, such as clay, marble and granite chips. This composition only helps to strengthen its strength over time, but at the same time pass steam through its surface, in order to avoid the appearance of dampness in the house. This plaster is resistant to sunlight, but is excessively bulky and has little ability to undergo structural changes.

For polymer plaster, plastic and durable acrylic resins become the connecting link, which makes it possible to disguise the surface of the wall and give it new tactile and visual characteristics. A persistent illusion is created that the wall is lined with one of the types of polished stone, or it looks and feels like a suede covering, or is no different from natural leather. In addition to this optical illusion, such plaster is resistant to temperature fluctuations, repels water and has good resistance to sunlight. The only drawback of plaster made from modern polymer compounds is that it does not allow steam to pass through well, which contributes to the appearance of dampness in the rooms.

Silicone resin forms the basis of silicone plaster, which perfectly resists various destructive factors. It is hydrophobic, does not allow steam to pass through its surface, and has a wide range of colors. The increased plasticity of silicone plaster allows it to be widely used to create relief patterns of any texture and complexity.

Silicate plaster is based on liquid glass - it also easily takes any shape, is resistant to dirt, but is already capable of transmitting steam. Silicate plaster has good fire resistance and repels moisture. But it cannot boast of a wide selection of color shades - it is produced in the form of a dry mixture with the addition of various colors.

All types of decorative plaster photos with names can take on a rough texture, but the surface of the wall is sometimes leveled and processed to give a discreet glossy shine. But relief plaster with a variety of expressive effects has a special effect in the interior. Types of decorative plaster according to the type of inclusions are divided into:

• textured and structural, which have a relief rough surface;
• Venetian, which belongs to the almost smooth type of plaster, but looks simply magnificent.

All types of plaster mixtures belong to an environmentally friendly type of materials and are considered reliable and highly durable.

Other types of decorative plaster photos with names, in addition to the connecting link, have inclusions of flax threads, wood and granite and marble chips. Small decorative stones are also used. This coating eliminates wall protrusions and all types of surface irregularities - there is also no need to preliminary preparation walls under plaster. It is enough just to take care of removing any residues from the walls that can flake off and dry them well. This type of plaster has high viscosity, and its additional components are flax fibers, pieces of wood material, mica fragments, marble and granite chips.

This plaster works well for decorating brick, concrete and wooden surfaces - it is suitable for interior decoration work. Before applying plaster, the walls are primed with a deeply penetrating compound - to treat concrete walls, a special compound is applied, which promotes the best adhesion of the plaster layer to the wall.

The layer of textured plaster is quite hard and does not allow moisture to pass through, but air passes through such a coating freely. A layer of plaster can imitate natural stone, leather or wood. Textured plaster is one of the most popular types of decorative coatings, and is affordable.

The composition for preparing the solution is available in bags weighing 9, 18 and 50 kg in dry, ready-to-dilute form. The average consumption of the dry mixture is about 2 kilograms per square meter walls. The dye may be in the dry mixture itself, or the wall may be painted after the plaster layer has hardened. It is not recommended to carry out external work in rainy weather and at temperatures up to 7 degrees Celsius. You can carry out texture work with a simple set of plastering tools - if professionals were not involved in the work, there are many options for designing walls in your own hands.

With the help of relief plaster, various relief patterns are formed on the wall. This:

• “lamb”, which imitates the fur of this animal - for such a coating, stone grains are introduced into the dry plaster mixture various sizes and the coating gets a grainy and uneven surface;
• “fur coat” is also a rough surface with a fleecy structure, based on a cement plaster composition;
• “kored” is a plaster filled with small pebbles - such a surface resembles the wood of a tree that has been gnawed by a bark beetle.

This texture in the form of vertical grooves looks very impressive.

Thin layer plaster It is created on the basis of acrylic or silicate, and marble chips and quartz elements are used as a composite component. The dry mixture looks like a granular mass of heterogeneous composition and is used for finishing external and internal premises. When applying such a plaster solution, an almost even layer with weak granularity is obtained, but when the layer dries on a flat surface, it exhibits a peculiar optical relief. Having a good adhesion surface, this plaster adheres well to plasterboard and chipboard.

The features of structural plaster include its excellent breathability and resistance to various atmospheric conditions. This dry mixture is produced in packages weighing 9, 18 and 50 kilograms, and ready solution applied to a clean, dried surface treated with a primer, which penetrates deeply into the inner surface of the wall. At least 3 kilograms of dry mixture are consumed per square meter of wall.

During plastering work there should not be high humidity and the temperature should not drop below 7 degrees. Structural relief is achieved in various ways, and using tools such as a smooth spatula and a roller - sometimes the structural surface is created with a special sprayer. For example, to obtain a wave structure, plaster with large grains is used, and it is applied with a spatula in a circular motion.

Such properties of structural plaster allow its use for finishing bathrooms - facades, doors and gates can also be successfully finished with it. The new surface is resistant to damage and directed impacts - it can be used without fear of damage.

For interior work, a dry mixture is selected that is diluted with water - it does not give off an odor and hardens quickly enough.

Special skill is required when applying Venetian plaster - this multi-layer coating, originally from the romantic city of lovers, is made by adding marble chips and slaked lime to a dry mixture. During the construction of buildings and the use of marble for their decoration, many small pieces remained, and in order not to waste the goods, they began to be used as a material for wall cladding.

Externally, the coating looks like marble, or made of precious onyx, so it should be done by an experienced plasterer. Apply the Venetian plaster solution with a rubber spatula and the thinnest layer— each layer requires complete drying. The dry mixture is quite expensive, and the work of creating a plaster layer is quite painstaking, but the effect of translucent matte layers justifies all the effort. Most often, Venetian plaster is used to recreate a classical and antique style - it looks especially impressive in the Baroque style.

Different directions of movement of the spatula and methods of applying plaster allow you to achieve a matte and glossy surface of the walls. In addition to stone surfaces, Venetian plaster can imitate the shine of precious metals - thus achieving the effect of expanding the room and complex reflection of light on the wall surface. The dry mixture is produced in bags of 8 and 16 kilograms, and color can be added to it. Before plastering work, the wall must be dry, clean and treated with a deep-action primer, and before priming it must be reinforced and puttied. If the technology for working with Venetian plaster is not followed, cracks may appear, which will then be difficult to get rid of. Often, this coating is used as a basis for bas-reliefs, frescoes and complex panels.

More and more new types of interior surface finishing are presented by modern manufacturers. These include:

• colored plaster, based on acrylic and marble chips - it is characterized water-repellent properties and hardness. The variety of colors is represented by more than fifteen shades - the solution is applied to a dry, clean surface in one layer. The solution can be applied to the outer and inner surfaces with equal success, but in order to prevent the formation of joints that will be noticeable, the plastering process should be carried out from corner to opposite corner.
• Roller plaster is characterized by an organic filler of various sizes - when applied, channels are formed that are located in different directions. Decorative patterns are formed by applying the mortar to the wall with a wide spatula, and then rubbing it with arbitrary movements in a circular and horizontal motion. With roller plaster, the color is often added to the dry mixture, or painted after the solution has hardened.
• latex plastic so convincingly imitates the structure of polished stone, its gloss and shine that you can make a mistake in determining the surface texture even by touching it. The finished plaster resists cracking and repels water, making walls easier to clean. And colors that are similar in tone are ground in the solution, without over-stirring - then the structure of the stone is formed, imitating relief structures. Before applying the plaster, the walls are puttied and treated with a deep penetration primer.
• The wet silk relief convincingly imitates this precious fabric on the walls - mother-of-pearl particles in the dry mixture demonstrate the shimmer of silk and all its color possibilities. This plaster is produced in a few, but extremely spectacular colors - the coating is available in white and golden colors, has the color of ripe garnet and metallic silver and bronze shades. This coating is moisture resistant, which allows it to be washed and cleaned; therefore, this type of plaster is most often used for the kitchen.
• The sea breeze technique allows you to apply translucent colors with a slight pearlescent tint to the walls. This effect is achieved by the fact that the plaster contains fine-grained river sand - the play of colors in such plaster is achieved by randomly applying the solution, followed by thoroughly rubbing it on the wall. The main colors when using this technique are golden, white and garnet tones; among the metallic colors, bronze is used, but the most spectacular is the chameleon shade, which can change colors depending on the lighting. The use of plaster using the sea breeze technique is most often used in interior design.

The excellent technical qualities and wonderful color effect of decorative plaster have captivated many designers due to the richness of color and variety of texture. This type of coating stands out clearly among other materials for interior decoration, and its irresistible qualities are winning a larger number of admirers.

Plaster in the interior exhibits all its positive properties:

• it hides all the irregularities and defects of the wall surface;
• well known building materials for walls and ceilings;
• has a high ability to absorb odors and pronounced resistance to sound and noise effects;
• has an original and unique design, and goes well with other decorative items;
• does not require special treatment of the walls, but is characterized by remarkable durability and strength;
• retains heat well, but creates an obstacle to the penetration of moisture and frost;
• good plasticity makes it possible to process surfaces of any complexity and give the coating any shape;
• By plastering the walls, an environmentally friendly, practical and durable coating is achieved that is resistant to mechanical stress.

The quality of a decorative coating directly depends on the condition of the tools used to produce it. All of them must be free of coating defects and free from cracks or nicks.

Types of applying decorative plaster differ in their own technique to give walls special expressiveness and new artistic properties.

To apply Venetian plaster, which requires a special multi-layer design, the work is carried out with spatulas made of stainless material of various sizes. The base of the plaster layer is applied with the widest spatula, and the gaps should not only remain, but also become an important component in the compositional design.

The initial layer is made wide and completely devoid of symmetry.

All layers that are applied to the base should cover the faded layer with a brighter color, and vice versa, try to press the bright layer more so that it becomes less expressive. To achieve color shifts, each layer can have its own shade that is similar in color. Each layer is dried, leveled and sanded; an ironing process is carried out to give a glossy surface. And, for additional shine, the finished layers of plaster are coated with varnish or special wax. The transparency of each layer gives the wall surface an effect of volume and depth.

Plaster decorative types textures with a relief pattern are carried out slightly differently - it does not require special processing and. It is enough just to remove old layers, wash and dry the walls. In the next step, the wall surface is treated with a primer, which has deep penetration properties and an antibacterial composition, which prevents the appearance of fungus and mold. Prime the wall covering a day before the start of plastering work and make sure that the primer layer is completely dry.

The plaster solution is applied to the wall surface with a wide spatula with a soft surface, then a relief is quickly made over the wet plaster. To obtain different textured surfaces, tools such as spatulas of various shapes, rollers, sponges and various stencils are used. The formation of relief is carried out immediately from one wall to another in order to achieve a uniform surface without visible seams.

Decorative plaster types and methods of application are carried out using special knowledge - in order to apply structural plaster with high quality, you need to remember that the main plastering tool is a trowel made of of stainless steel. The layer of plaster should not be much larger than the size of the composite grains, and after application the layer of plaster is left to set for 2-3 minutes. After that, smooth the layer of plaster in a circular motion with a plastic trowel. In this way, a uniform distribution of the granules that are in the solution is ensured, and the excess mass is removed from the trowel with a smaller spatula. To ensure that the joints are not visible, they plaster and make a relief surface, working quickly from corner to other corner. If paint layer was not added to the dry mixture, then painting is carried out no earlier than 10-14 days after plastering.

Strength and resistance to various damages allows you to completely ignore the walls in the first year after the coating was applied. The plastered surface of the walls does not absorb dust and unpleasant odors, and also repels water, so the walls can be easily cleaned with any neutral detergents. The walls can be washed off dirt with a soft rag and sponge, but not with metal scrapers, hard brushes or pumice.

To ensure that the plaster of the walls pleases the eye for a long time, it is covered with wax and glaze agents, which increases the waterproofing of the walls, and for Venetian plaster it provides additional shine. The wax composition focuses attention on the depth of the relief, while simultaneously increasing their protection from dust, moisture and mechanical stress. Wax components are selected in a silver-white shade with a mother-of-pearl effect and with a yellowish translucent tint. The wax coating is applied in a double layer with a spatula, sponge or brush, and after drying, polished with a soft cloth. This coating will respond positively to cleaning with detergents, but chemical solvents cannot be used for it.

Glazing is a translucent coating that allows you to acquire additional volume and emphasize the contours of the plaster relief. It can have various metal surfaces that shimmer in the light, or it can simply have a white color, which emphasizes the texture of the plaster. The glazing agent is applied with a brush, sponge, or a special mitten to fully treat all the depressions of the relief. Thanks to such means, relief plaster will last longer and maintain the hardness of its surface.

If you need to remove coating from a wall, you can use various methods.

If you are tired of the color, you can simply repaint the coating. When is another plastering option planned? upper layer removed to the concrete base. In the case when you want to replace the textured surface with a smooth one in order to paste wallpaper, it is simply puttied, removing all textured irregularities.

Decorative plaster completely changes the appearance of the room and has several types. The textured dry mixture contains mineral chips, mica and other inclusions, which, when applied at random, produce a stunning effect. Structural plaster looks like a granular mass that consists of various inclusions and produces a relief pattern after drying. Thinner Venetian plaster is applied in layers and torn protective compounds for protection and added shine. Almost smooth surfaces with shimmering colors are provided modern materials for plastering, and plastered surfaces should be washed with simple detergents.

Decorative plaster technical characteristics

Benefits of use.

Eat different technologies creating texture on vertical surfaces, but one of the most innovative, environmentally friendly and durable is the use of decorative facade plaster.

The ease of use and durability of decorative plaster have determined its widespread use on building facades and interior decoration with different variations of color and structural solutions. The structure of such decorative plaster masses depends one hundred percent on the grain fraction chosen for the filler and on the methods used for applying the plaster. The choice of the right materials, as well as the preparation of a mixture of decorative plaster and methods of applying structured plaster masses greatly influence the consumption of time and materials, and as a result reduce construction costs.

Facade construction plaster is a plastic and viscous solution prepared on the basis of cement, color pigments, and

also some other additives. Using it you can give the illusion of facing and sand-lime bricks, the texture of artificial and natural stone, tree bark and other materials on any surface. The options for using decorative plaster have no limits. This material can bring any of your ideas to life. Giving texture to the material occurs by pressing the surface of a freshly applied layer of plaster with special shapes. This process is similar to stenciling, but in 3 dimensions.

Areas of application of plaster.

It is important that printed decorative plaster does not require much time to prepare for application, which significantly reduces the time required for finishing work. It does not matter at all what surface will be the basis for the coating, be it foam concrete blocks, concrete, brickwork, plasterboard, chipboard, OSB board or polystyrene foam.

Instructions for use

1. The substrate intended for applying plaster must be clean, dust-free, and free from separating particles. If necessary, clean the surface, for example with a pressurized water jet. Adjacent susceptible to contamination building elements, not to be finished, such as natural wood, glass, aluminum, natural stone and floor coverings should be covered or covered with waterproof coatings (for example, plastic film).

2 renovation of Khrushchev-era kitchen with living room. The surface of cement plasters and concrete foundations should be treated with a roller or brush with undiluted Knauf-Isogrund primer, gypsum plasters should be primed with Knauf-Quartzgrund, plasterboard sheets should be treated with Knauf-Putzgrund primer and allowed to dry for at least 12 hours.

3. It is possible to apply decorative plaster in the area of ​​the base of the building on a base made of cement plaster, 5 cm above the ground level, provided that the moisture is insignificant (for example, splashes of water) or additional measures are taken to protect the decorative layer from moisture (coatings, etc.) .

4. To apply decorative plaster on leveling plasters Knauf-LUP 222, Knauf-UP 210 and Knauf-UP 310 made over mixed masonry on the windward side with large thicknesses of the plaster layer, it is necessary to provide for reinforcing the surface of these plasters with glass mesh or applying a plaster-adhesive mortar Knauf-Sevener with fiberglass mesh.

5. Plastering work should be carried out at a temperature of the base and ambient air not lower than +5ºС.

6. To prepare the solution, mix the contents of the bag with water (based on

6.1 liters of water per 25 kg of dry mixture) manually or using a drill with a mixing attachment until a homogeneous consistency without lumps. Let the solution sit for 15 minutes to mature, then stir again. You should mix as much solution as is necessary for one closed surface. It is not allowed to add other components to the solution! When using plastering machines, the water flow should be set to about 370 l/h, and then adjust the consistency of the solution by increasing or decreasing the water supply.

7. When carrying out plastering work, you should adhere to the standards of SNiP 3.04.01-87.

8. The prepared mixture must be applied in an even layer to the prepared base using a stainless steel trowel or mechanically. Then level with a smooth trowel to the thickness of the grain and immediately give structure with the selected tool (plastic or steel grater, sponge, trowel, brush or roller). It must be taken into account that the work should be carried out using the wet-on-wet method, i.e. Carry out the final rubbing of the plaster layer without waiting for it to start setting. No more grinding of treated surfaces! When treating the surface with a plastic or steel trowel, a uniform rough structure is obtained; when using a grater with a sponge, a more rough (granular) structure is formed. The formation of a surface pattern can be done horizontally, vertically or circularly, etc. movements.

9. Upon completion of work, used tools should be immediately washed with water.

10. In order to avoid color differences on plastered surfaces due to weather or production conditions, it is necessary to plaster the wall of a building or room without breaks on the same day from corner to corner.

11. During the production process, it should be taken into account that due to consistency, the influence of weather conditions or drying, deviations in color, differences in strength and degree of gloss may occur. The formation of calcium carbonate efflorescence on the surface of the plaster is possible mainly in the cool season, but this does not indicate a deterioration in quality and is not a reason for a justified claim against the material, since this is a consequence of construction and physical factors beyond influence environment, which levels out over time due to natural weathering and decarbonization.

12. A fresh layer of decorative plaster must be protected from frost or rapid drying in order to avoid deterioration of technical characteristics.

World of wise thoughts:

And the water is holy life-giving cross and from miraculous images or from revered holy relics, and for the sick they consecrate oil for health and healing. If you have to bless oil over a sick person in the house, let them call seven priests or more, and as many deacons as possible. They consecrate the oil and do everything according to the rules, and burn incense throughout all the rooms of the deacon or priest, and sprinkle with holy water, and the eldest of them makes the sign of the honorable cross, and everyone in this house glorifies God. And after the service, the tables are set, the priests and monks drink and eat, and everyone who comes immediately treats and gifts the poor in every possible way, and they return to their home, glorifying God. The deceased parents should also be remembered; in the holy churches of God, in monasteries, to sing panikhidas and serve the liturgy, and at meals to feed the brethren for peace and health, and to invite them into your home and feed, console and give alms.
