Basics of Cement: What is Plastering?
Introduction to Plastering by Bondada

At Bondada, we understand that plastering is much more than just a finishing touch in construction. It’s the process of covering rough surfaces of walls, columns, ceilings, and other building components with a thin coat of plastic mortar to obtain a smooth, durable, and level finish. Not only does plastering enhance the appearance of structures, but it also protects them from atmospheric influences and environmental degradation, which is why Bondada emphasizes quality in every step of the process.

Why is Plastering Important?

Plastering plays a crucial role in construction by providing a smooth and even surface for painting and other finishing works. It serves as a barrier to moisture, prevents water seepage, and helps improve the durability of walls by sealing them from the elements. At Bondada, we aim to deliver superior plastering solutions that maximize the life and aesthetics of your buildings.

Types of Plastering Mortars Offered by Bondada

Plastering mortars come in different types based on the application, specific needs, and finishes. Here are some common types:

1. Cement Plaster: The most widely used form, cement plaster, is made with cement, sand, and water. Bondada offers cement plaster that provides a durable finish that withstands harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for both interior and exterior walls.

2. Lime Plaster: Lime plaster is created with lime and sand. Known for its breathability and flexibility, it’s ideal for historic buildings and structures that experience temperature fluctuations, as it helps prevent cracks. Bondada’s lime plaster is formulated for optimal flexibility and longevity.

3. Gypsum Plaster: Gypsum plaster is favored for interior surfaces because it sets quickly, doesn’t shrink, and results in a smooth finish. Bondada supplies gypsum plaster that is widely used as a final coat for a polished look.

Process of Plastering by Bondada

Plastering involves several steps that ensure a quality finish and lasting durability. Here’s a general process used by Bondada:

1. Surface Preparation: The wall surface must be cleaned, free from dust, grease, or loose particles. Any holes or gaps are patched, and surfaces are dampened to avoid water absorption from the plaster.

2. Applying the Base Coat: A base coat of plaster is applied with a trowel in even layers. This initial layer, often thicker, forms the primary structure for the subsequent coats.

3. Leveling and Finishing: After the base coat sets, a finishing coat is applied to achieve the desired smoothness and level. Proper curing is essential to avoid cracks and enhance strength.
