What is Plaster?

What is Plaster? - A commonly used material that's employed for protecting and decorating wall and ceiling surfaces, plaster has been with us thousands of years. In the United Kingdom the term "plaster" commonly pertains to a material that is utilized on the insides of buildings, while the material used on external surfaces is termed "render". Plaster mixes usually contain either cement, gypsum, or lime, which all work in pretty similar ways. Plaster is a powder when manufactured and when required, is blended with water to make a stiff, easy to work paste just prior to application. The merging of the plaster and water causes a reaction, and heat is generated by means of crystallization, which makes the resulting paste set. Specialist Sandbach plastering contractors will bring their own plaster products, but if you want to purchase some yourself go to Wickes, British Gypsum, B&Q, Travis and Perkins or Screwfix.
