Although plaster is a beautiful wall finish, it can also be fairly time consuming to apply. This is a perfect DIY project for someone who has a bit of construction experience, but most homeowners will typically find is easier to hire a professional. The finish layer of plaster can also be daunting for a beginner, since it takes practice to get the look and feel you want. At HandyCanadian.com, we give you all the tools you need to find the perfect contractor for the job.
The process for applying plaster depends on what type of surface is underneath. First, you need some kind of bonding agent to apply the plaster to the wall. This might be in the form of an adhesive for concrete walls, or you might need wire mesh if you’re working with wood walls. The first coat of plaster is called the “scratch coat,” and after applying about half of an inch of the material, you’ll let it start to harden so it can't be scratched. This will allow the top layer of plaster to stay in place. Without following all of these steps correctly, however, the plaster won’t dry correctly and it may chip off in large chunks in just a few months or years.
Plaster professionals with experience in application can help you get the job done as fast as possible and with the final texture you desire. HandyCanadian.com lets you post your project online or you can browse through our contractor database to find professionals in your area. Afterwards, check out our article database to find tips on decorating or completing other projects once your walls have the beautiful plaster finish.
