Dry plaster: varieties and applications. Mixture for plastering walls. Which plaster is better? Plaster mortar Types of dry plaster

Plaster (from the Italian word “stuccatura” - gypsum, lime, alabaster) is a finishing layer that is formed as a result of hardening of the building mixture. The same word refers to the mixture itself. Dry plaster for interior work is used very widely today.

Types of dry plaster

Plaster mixtures:

cement-lime plaster compositions;
cement-sand compositions for plastering;
gypsum plaster mixture.

Sheet plaster material:

gypsum sheets lined with soft cardboard;
wood fiber sheets with the addition of waterproof and strengthening impregnations;
gypsum fiber sheets, the composition of which is gypsum and paper fiber.

The varieties mentioned can be used both for standard finishing and for high-quality leveling of surfaces.

Classification of plaster mixtures

By type of components used

Depending on the composition, the following plaster mixtures are distinguished:

lime compositions based on lime and river sand with the addition of organic components, reinforcing fiber and cement;
sand-cement mixtures consisting of sand and Portland cement grade M-400 or M-500;
gypsum mixtures based on dehydrated and powdered gypsum;
terrasite plaster based on fluff lime.

By place of application

Taking into account where dry plaster finishing can be used, there are two types:

mixtures for indoor work;
mixtures for external work

By intended use

Depending on the work performed with one or another plaster mixture, this material is divided into varieties:

plaster mixtures for rough work in the form of leveling wall surfaces;
plaster mixtures for finishing work or finishing;
mixtures for decorative finishing of internal and external surfaces.

What is dry plaster (video)

Purpose and scope of use of plaster mixtures

The purpose and scope of use of dry plaster mixtures largely depend on the composition of the finishing material.

Cement mixtures for interior work are the most durable and strong. Such quality as high moisture resistance allows this plaster to be used in damp and wet rooms, including unheated ones.

The moisture resistance of this material is average, therefore, this composition is not recommended for use in rooms with high humidity levels.

The most common and inexpensive plaster composition, which is widely used in industrial construction, is a lime mixture. However, the low ductility and insufficient moisture resistance of the material make its use somewhat limited.

Terrasite dry mixtures are used on surfaces that require excellent stability of the finish, including rooms with high humidity and active mechanical stress.

Currently, a whole range of plaster mixtures based on gypsum or cement are produced, which have unique properties. These are insulating plasters supplemented with perlite, as well as moisture-proofing, repair, fire-retardant, noise-proof and anti-radiation mixtures.

Characteristics of slab dry plaster

Sheet building gypsum, lined with cardboard on both sides, is most often used as dry plaster indoors. This material is better known to consumers as “plasterboard.” This dry plaster is in great demand for interior finishing work.

Drywall(dry gypsum plaster) is intended for interior work, including the installation of cladding and partitions, as well as the finishing of ceilings in rooms characterized by low or normal humidity.

Benefits of use:

high level of structural strength, guaranteed by following installation technology and using high-quality materials;
variety of types of finishing materials;
affordable price;
high environmental friendliness of the material;
good thermal insulation;
sufficient noise absorption capacity.

The disadvantage of the material is the need to strengthen the frame and use reinforcing tape for joints or seams.

The most popular and easy-to-use parameters for the length and width of sheet dry plaster are:

300 x 120 mm;
250 x 120 mm;
200 x 120 mm.

Standard sheet thicknesses are 9.5 mm or 12.5 mm.

Calculation of material quantity

On any package with factory-made dry plaster, manufacturers indicate the approximate consumption of the mixture ready for work per 1 m². To determine the consumption of the dry composition, subtract the volume of water that was used for its preparation from the total amount of finished plaster mixture consumed.

The approximate consumption of the finished mixture when using plaster from the most popular manufacturers is as follows:

cement plaster from Ceresit “CT-24” - about 1.2 kg/m²;
gypsum plaster composition "NR-Start" from "KNAUF" - approximately 1.60 kg/m²;
decorative plaster - at least 1.50 kg/m²;
− not less than 1.50 kg/m².

Sheet material is calculated depending on the size of the sheet and the total area of the surface to be finished.

Finishing technology

Installation of sheet dry plaster can be done as follows:

nail or fasten the sheets with self-tapping screws if there is a wooden surface of the walls or ceiling, maintaining a gap around the perimeter of 1.5-2 mm;
install on a wooden sheathing or frame base made of galvanized profiles.

The step-by-step technology for finishing indoor surfaces with dry plaster mixtures is as follows:

Cleaning the surface from dirt, dust and delamination.
Elimination of protrusions and elements that interfere with operation.
Protection of metal parts from corrosion.
Treatment of surfaces based on silicate and ceramic bricks, aerated concrete, gypsum sheets with the Grundir-mittel primer. Concrete base, cement plaster, foam concrete, expanded polystyrene, plasterboard sheathing must be treated with Betokontakt primer.
Installation of beacon profiles.
Installation of protective corner profiles.
Preparation of plaster mortar.
Applying plaster mortar.
Leveling the surface.
Grouting and smoothing the surface.

Dry plaster application technology (video)

After fixing sheet dry plaster to the place intended for cladding, it can be painted with almost any paint, covered with wallpaper, and other types of finishing can also be used. The surface plastered with a diluted dry mixture can be structured, giving it almost any ornament or shape using a relief roller or a special molding tool.

The capabilities and variety of plaster make this material in demand for interior finishing work. Plaster mixtures and sheet materials are available to the consumer in different price categories and with different properties, so you can choose the most suitable option for any room. The technology for finishing the surface with such materials is simple and allows you to carry out repair work yourself.

There are certain stereotypes about plastering premises. Cement-sand mortar is often used for these purposes, but today you can buy ready-made dry mixtures that are specially designed for certain types of work.

For example, dry decorative plaster is used for interior work and can replace wallpaper. The cost of such mixtures is low, and the article will present the advantages of the materials and methods of their installation.

Purpose and types of plaster

Dry plaster is used for interior work. Its main functions are to level the surface of the walls before finishing work and final finishing if decorative plaster is used.

The sale of such dry mixtures can be in bags and packages from 15 to 50 kg or in sheets ready for use.

Before use, dry mixtures are diluted with water.

There are several types of plasters, which can be found in the table:

All described types are sold in powder form and are classified as dry. Before use, they will need to be diluted with water, after which they can be applied to the wall.

Another type of dry plaster is drywall. There is no need to dilute it in water, since it is produced in sheets and is ready for further use without additional manipulation.

Drywall is exposed to moisture, so if sheets are used for the bathroom, kitchen and other rooms with high humidity, then a moisture-resistant type is used.

Composition of plaster and its advantages

All types of plasters are used for finishing premises, the only difference is in the binders. The table shows the main components of the mixtures and their features:

№	Type of binder	Description
1	Plaster	They consist of gypsum to which fillers are added. Used for interior work, they allow you to achieve a flat and smooth surface. They dry quickly and can be used without finishing putty. The disadvantages include low resistance to contact with moisture, as well as low mechanical strength. Often used if work needs to be carried out urgently.
2	Limestone	Used for interior work, the material contains sand, lime and a small proportion of cement. The advantages of the material include ease of application and quick drying. Application is possible without pre-treatment of the finished base. The downside is low resistance to moisture. The material is susceptible to mechanical damage.
3	Cement-sand	A universal mixture that can be used inside and outside the building. The solution is durable and resistant to various influences. For plasticity, lime and other additives can be added to the solution to improve adhesion.

As a rule, such mixtures are easy to apply.

Today, many companies offer a variety of dry mixes. They have their advantages and disadvantages. Whatever components are in the plaster, it is necessary to note the advantages of the materials:

Economical. The cost of the mixture is relatively low compared to other materials.
Environmentally friendly. The mixtures are natural and do not affect the human body.
Durability. When applied correctly, the material will last a long time, and the base of the walls will be of high quality.
Easy to apply. The material is very easy to use, so even a beginner can apply dry plaster.

For finishing, a decorative type of plaster is often used instead of wallpaper. The composition of this material includes certain particles, which make it possible to create an unusual texture or even a pattern that cannot be created with other finishing materials.

After applying the mixtures, the walls can be painted in any color.

Installation of sheet plaster

To decorate rooms with plasterboard, two installation methods can be used:

on glue;
on the frame.

Now you need to understand each method separately. Sheets of dry plaster can be installed with special glue. The adhesive composition is sold dry and will need to be diluted in water before use. As a result, the solution should be homogeneous and quite thick.

Drywall is heavy, which means it is better to carry out the work with an assistant, it will be easier and safer.

Installation of sheet dry plaster on glue is carried out as follows:

The base on which the sheet will be glued must be thoroughly cleaned and then sanded with sandpaper.
The surface is treated with soil.
When the soil dries, glue is applied to the walls along the entire perimeter of the wall in large fragments. If the wall is very large, then the glue can be applied to the drywall itself.
Next, the sheet is pressed against the wall and the evenness of the surface is checked with a level. If necessary, the plane is leveled with light pressure. For more information about dry plasters, watch this video:

All joints are treated with putty

When the finishing is completed, the glue must be given time to dry. All joints between the sheets must be treated with finishing putty, which is then plastered, and finishing work is carried out.

This installation method is the simplest because it does not require any special experience.

Installation on a frame differs significantly from the described method. To carry out the work, you will first need to make a frame using profiles.

When the frame is ready, drywall is attached to it using ordinary self-tapping screws. For detailed information, you can use the step-by-step instructions:

Sheets of dry plaster should be installed at a temperature of 5 to 45 degrees Celsius. If the walls are very crooked, then it is more advisable to use the frame method of installing drywall. If there are small differences and few defects on the walls, then ordinary dry plaster in powder form is used.

Plaster mixtures for interior work are a popular and inexpensive way to level the surface of walls. Before starting repair and construction work on finishing walls using the plastering method, it is necessary to have a brief basic understanding of the types of construction dry mixtures for plastering inside buildings and premises. An incorrectly chosen plaster mixture will not give the required result and you can only later regret the time spent and wasted money.

Types of plaster mixtures

Relatively recently, walls were plastered using mortars that were made independently from individual components. This preparation process was inconvenient, labor-intensive and required additional labor for the delivery of material for the solution and its preparation.

With the development of modern construction technologies, manufacturers began to produce a wide range of building mixtures in the form of ready-made materials for plaster and dry mortars.

Composition of dry plaster mixes

Dry bulk mortars for plaster are classified according to the base filler material and are divided into the following types of plaster mixtures:

mixture or the well-known and popular dry “cement mortar” in construction. Probably every person has heard about this type of building material and knows that it is a very strong, durable, durable and inexpensive type of plaster. To obtain the desired consistency when leveling walls, dilute with water in a certain proportion. The resulting solution has a universal purpose; it can be used for all types of plaster with the exception of residential premises.
dry plaster mixture includes a component such as slaked lime. As you know, lime has plasticity and antibacterial properties. Thanks to this additive, the cement-lime composition can perfectly level the walls of wet rooms. It is also convenient to work with because of its elasticity and good adhesion to any surface.
dry plaster mixtures are made on the basis of building gypsum with mineral additives. Gypsum-based plaster is ideal for plastering interior walls of residential premises. This mixture is easily applied to the walls; the surface of the plaster quickly hardens and after drying is white. If semi-dry gypsum plaster is moistened with water and rubbed with a polyurethane plaster float until smooth, you can get a smooth, durable, glossy surface that does not need to be covered with putties and can be directly glued to wallpaper. The disadvantages of gypsum plaster include the speed of hardening of the finished solution.

The dry plaster mixture is packaged in double paper bags of varying volumes and weights. A standard bag of this finishing bulk material weighs from 20 to 25 kg. For small volumes of wall surfaces, you can find packaging of 1 and 5 kg.

Selection of dry plaster mixtures for leveling walls

When choosing a mixture for plastering work, you should pay attention to the material of the walls intended for plastering. If the walls are made of brick, then it is possible to use all types of dry mixtures: from cement-sand to gypsum plasters. If the wall is made of concrete, then the best option would be to use gypsum plasters. In construction, it is allowed to use cement or cement-lime dry mixture for plastering concrete surfaces only over a metal plaster mesh previously fixed to the prepared surface. When plastering wooden walls, it is best to opt for gypsum dry plasters.

An important factor in choosing dry mixtures is the time for finishing work. The lime mixture is the most convenient to work with; it can be left unused for several days.

Gypsum plaster quickly “sets” and loses its properties, so you will have to work with it very quickly.

Comparative characteristics of plaster mixtures

As already mentioned, dry plaster for interior work is used to level and create a protective coating on the surface of walls. You can compare these building materials according to their main technical characteristics and then make the right choice in favor of one or another plaster mixture.

The vapor permeability of dry mixtures is an important indicator that characterizes the ability of plastered surfaces to transmit or retain water vapor. For cement, lime and gypsum dry plasters it is almost the same, so moisture will not accumulate inside the plaster layer from all types of solutions.
The material consumption of dry mixes varies. Gypsum solutions have a minimum consumption, about 10 kg per 1 m2 with a plaster layer thickness of 10 mm. For cement and lime mortars, the consumption is from 10 to 20 kg for the same area.
The hardening time of mixtures for plastering works varies for different types of material. A solution of a dry cement-sand mixture “sets” after 2 - 3 hours, and a gypsum solution hardens after 1 hour. This means that the gypsum mixture must be mixed in small portions and immediately applied to the walls.
Specific heat capacity is one of the important technical indicators when carrying out repair and construction work. Lime-based mortar will be the warmest of the entire family of dry mixes, and cement-sand mortar plaster will be the coldest.

Thus, a house or apartment where the internal walls are plastered with lime mortar will be warm and comfortable with a microclimate pleasant for humans.

It is rare to find perfectly smooth wall surfaces in private houses or apartments. Depressions, vertical deviation, curvature - such defects in internal walls are a fairly common phenomenon that almost every homeowner has encountered.

Plastering or leveling curved surfaces can present some challenges in applying the plastering mixture and creating a smooth, straight wall.

To significantly facilitate this difficult process, it is recommended to use plaster beacons made of galvanized metal slats in the form of a profile. Such beacons are attached to the wall using a plaster mixture (preferably gypsum) strictly level and at a distance of up to 1 m in width. The construction plaster mixture is applied to the wall between the beacon slats and leveled using a metal plaster rule, while the excess mortar is evenly distributed over the surface.

Another option to make finishing work easier using plaster mixtures would be to pre-glue the surface of the walls with a plastic reinforcing mesh, over which it will be very convenient to apply layers of plaster.

A small addition of detergent directly to the mixing water will allow you to increase the plasticity and increase the mobility of the plaster mixture.

You can familiarize yourself with the instructions for plastering beacons by watching the video:

Ready-made plaster mixture

Ready-made wall plaster is a ready-to-use, homogeneous construction solution for plastering all types of surfaces. Ready-made plaster is sold in plastic and metal buckets or cans.

This solution does not need to be diluted with water; you just need to open the lid, mix the finished mixture with a construction mixer with a nozzle, and it can be applied to the wall, which must first be cleaned of dust and dirt. Some manufacturers recommend that before using ready-made solutions, pre-treat the walls with special primers, which will enhance the decorative effect of a particular plaster. The price of finished plaster is significantly higher compared to dry mixes, but the consumption is 2-3 times less.

Ready-made plaster has only a decorative purpose and is not used for leveling walls.

Types of ready-mixes for plaster

Since it has already been said that ready-made mixtures are used to create decorative coatings on walls, they can be divided into several types based on the type of filler and the texture of the created surface:

Textured plaster contains natural fillers from flax fibers, wood fragments, marble or granite chips. After applying the mixture, the surface of the walls has a pronounced texture. An example is the popular decorative coating “bark beetle”, which imitates tree bark.
Structural plaster contains quartz sand. It is applied in a thin layer and, if desired, such a coating can have a smooth and even or pronounced textured appearance. The well-known “fur coat” plaster is a classic example of structural plaster. This ready-made plaster mixture has such a remarkable indicator as moisture resistance and therefore it can be used for plastering walls in rooms with high humidity.
Venetian ready-mix is the most expensive type of ready-mix plaster; it is made on the basis of marble and, after application to the walls, looks like natural marble.

All types of ready-made plaster mixtures are united by the method of their application: using steel spatulas, combs and brushes - brushes.

Advantages of ready-mixed plaster

Ready-made plaster mixture for interior work has many advantages:

Highly decorative and aesthetically pleasing finished wall coverings.
The finished mixture can be applied to any walls made of concrete, brick, wood and plasterboard.

Ready-made mixtures for plaster have two disadvantages - they are high cost compared to dry mixtures and the short shelf life of the mixture in an open container.

Ready-made mixtures for plasters can create a unique and very beautiful design for apartments or private houses.

When choosing plaster mixtures for repair and construction work, preference should be given to well-known brands and trusted manufacturers of mixtures specializing in the production of finishing materials.

The concept of “dry modern plaster” has become quite capacious and multifaceted. Traditionally, this is the name given to ready-made powder mixtures with various additives that impart special properties to the finishing material. Dry building mixtures are convenient to store and can be used as needed. There are several types of powder plasters with different compositions: standard ones suitable for correcting surface defects, varieties with specific additional properties and decorative options.

But in recent years, this term often means the use of plasterboard sheets, which can make all surfaces of the premises ideal without additional effort - traditional labor-intensive finishing methods are giving way to modern, quick and effective methods. An undoubted advantage of the improved material is the absence of the stage of internal “wet” work; professionals also note the possibility of quickly carrying out repairs even in non-standard premises.

The composition of the innovative finishing material and its main properties

To form a familiar sheet of drywall used for interior finishing and design work, you need to perform several complex manipulations:

Burn the natural mineral at a temperature of 180-190 o C, grind it, give it the desired shape and thickness using a press. Depending on the purpose, the natural mixture may contain other additives: an adhesive component, starch or a small percentage of fiberglass.

The resulting layer is enclosed in a cardboard shell with a standard density ranging from 0.17 to 0.22 kg/m2.

The specially curved ends of the sheets act as a reinforcing shell, keeping the composition in an unchanged state during its transportation and installation.

Varieties of drywall are distinguishable by appearance: the standard version is available in gray with blue markings, and the moisture-resistant modification is noticeable by the greenish tint of the shell.

Dry finishing in the construction markets is presented in a wide range, so it is easy for the consumer to choose the right type: arched plasterboard with low weight and minimal thickness will allow you to create original designs, and vinyl does not require additional putty. A reinforced supersheet will speed up the creation of high-quality internal partitions. The industry also produces modifications with a layer of insulation, which uses polystyrene foam.

Proponents of using such a material as dry innovative plaster note the sufficient strength of all types of drywall, smooth surface, environmental friendliness at affordable prices. The sheets also have good insulating characteristics and low weight.

When selecting the right material, you should study the certificate and make sure that the sheet plaster you like does not contain formaldehyde and meets the objectives. Carrying out interior finishing work using high-quality plasterboard guarantees the rapid creation of smooth surfaces without noticeable defects. When purchasing materials, it is worth clearly formulating the basic requirements: for example, when replacing windows, slopes will require moisture-resistant plaster, otherwise condensation will cause premature failure of the standard coating.

The beginning of interior finishing activities is unchanged: it is necessary to calculate the exact number of sheets needed, taking into account their weight and size. Experts recommend purchasing 1-2 more sheets so that an accidental marriage does not cause the process to stop. Not only plaster is purchased, but also all consumables - their configuration depends on the installation method.

Drywall can be glued to fairly level ceilings or walls using a special mastic. The composition is applied along the entire perimeter of the sheet in a continuous line, and on the rest of the surface it is applied in spots at a distance of about 40 cm. Such plasterboard plaster is pressed tightly against the working plane, and the seams are filled with gypsum “dough” and then puttied. Do not use excessive force, as this action will contribute to delamination of the cardboard surface and subsequent bending of the sheet. The considered option allows you to save space in a small room, but is not considered particularly popular.

Professionals call cladding with sheets of a light frame made of a metal profile more acceptable. This method will make the room somewhat smaller, but will make even very curved floors perfectly smooth. And if necessary, it remains possible to replace one of the segments. At the beginning of the process, careful marking will be required using a level; then, according to the marks, a frame is mounted on which the sheet plaster is secured with ordinary or decorative screws. When finishing internal load-bearing floors, you can use a hammer drill and wooden “chop” plugs.

An air gap remains between the gypsum plasterboard and the walls, which will serve as excellent insulation; it is also possible to lay modern roll insulation. To avoid distortions and other defects, narrow seams are left between the sheets - no more than 5 mm - they are sealed before installing the finishing coating.

This plaster is universal: it can be painted or covered with avant-garde materials, or covered with wallpaper of different types. “Wet” putty of all decorative types will look great on such a surface. Only lime whitewash is unacceptable: it does not combine well with cardboard and will not give the desired result; the surface will look untidy. The best option for simulating a white wall is to use a water-based emulsion. Craftsmen advise covering the caps of self-tapping screws with enamel to prevent erosion.

When performing interior work in rooms with a permissible microclimate, modern safe plasterboard will be a wonderful find for many professionals.

There is a certain stereotype about performing plastering work, as if the work necessarily involves making a solution of cement, sand and water, which is applied to the wall with a trowel or other tools. Accordingly, when it comes to dry plaster, an association arises with a mixture of bulk building materials.

However, dry plaster for interior work is a well-known plasterboard wall decoration to many, which is the subject of this article.

General information

So, we figured out what dry plastering is. Naturally, it contains gypsum, which accounts for 93 percent of the total material. There is cardboard or paper on both sides of the gypsum layer, so the material does not crumble or crumble. In addition, dry gypsum plaster includes starch and organic substances, which improves its properties.

The main advantage of drywall is its versatility, as it is perfectly suitable for subsequent different coatings. Most often, decorative plaster, wallpaper, tiles, etc. are used for these purposes.

In addition, dry plaster has other advantages, among which are:

The material is environmentally friendly, as it does not contain harmful substances, including the release of toxic elements during combustion.
Flame resistant.
Excellent sound insulation qualities, since the gypsum layer has an increased density, due to which it dampens sound waves.
Wall finishing is much faster and easier than with traditional plastering.
Low cost of finishing, especially considering that with traditional plastering with high-quality mixtures, the consumption of dry plaster per 1 m2 is 8-10 kg with a coating thickness of about 10 mm.

Advice!
An excellent finishing option is decorative bark beetle plaster, which can look harmonious in almost any interior.

Of course, this also has some disadvantages:

The material is not strong enough, as a result of which furniture and household appliances cannot be attached to dry plaster.
Even moisture-resistant panels will not be able to withstand exposure to water. Therefore, in the event of flooding from above, the apartment will have to be renovated.

Installation of dry plaster

There are two main types of installation of dry plaster:

Gluing with special glue.
Frame mounting.

Now let's look at the features.

Glue installation

This method involves attaching drywall to a special glue, for example, Knauf-Perlix or some other - the price for them is approximately the same. The composition is diluted with water in the proportion indicated on the packaging, as a result the mixture should be quite thick, homogeneous and sticky, so that it is convenient to apply it to the walls.

Advice!
Construction boards for dry plaster are quite large in size, so it is unlikely that you will be able to complete the installation alone. It is advisable to call one or two assistants for help.

The instructions for installing drywall by gluing are quite simple:

The walls are first cleaned of dirt and dust.
Then a primer is applied to the surface, which will improve the adhesion of the adhesive solution to the wall surface.
After the wall has dried, rows of cakes are applied around the perimeter and in the center, which should be located at a distance of 30 cm. Or the glue should be applied directly to the panel.
Then the sheet is leaned against the wall and leveled using a building level.

The main advantage of this installation is the simplicity of the process, thanks to which you can finish the walls with your own hands, even without having experience working with drywall.

The photo shows a frame for dry plaster

Frame mounting

This technology is radically different from the method described above, since it does not require wet and dirty processes. Drywall sheets are fixed to the metal profile using self-tapping screws.

The work is performed in the following order:

First of all, a starting profile is screwed to the floor, which should be located along the wall.
Then you need to install the profile on the ceiling so that it is located in the same vertical plane as the starting rail. To do this, you need to insert a vertical stand into one of its edges, not reaching the ceiling 1-2 cm, and apply a level. When the stand is in a vertical position, a mark should be placed on the ceiling.
Then the procedure must be repeated from the other edge of the rail and connect the marks with a straight line, along which the upper profile is installed.
Next, vertical posts are attached to the lower and upper profiles. For intermediate fixation between the floor and ceiling, U-shaped brackets should be used, which must be installed every 60 cm. In this case, the position of the racks must be checked with a building level.
After installing the frame, you should install drywall on it. As mentioned above, self-tapping screws are used for this.

Note!
After dry plastering, you need to cut off the edges at the joints between the sheets, then stick a special mesh on them and seal them with putty.
After this, the walls are completely puttied.

In order for the repair to be truly high-quality and last for many years, when performing dry plaster, you must follow the basic rules listed below:

Dry plastering should not be carried out in rooms with high humidity or at temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius, as this will cause delamination and deformation of the sheet.
In winter, work can be performed at temperatures not lower than 4 degrees.
During the installation process, it is necessary to ensure that the panels are installed evenly. However, you should not use excessive physical force to align the sheets, as they can easily crack.
In rooms where there is high humidity, it is necessary to use moisture-resistant plasterboard.
If an increased fire hazard of the room is expected, then the finishing should be done with fireproof plasterboard.
Before installing drywall sheets, it is necessary to lay all communications in the wall. If the installation is carried out on a frame, then the wiring can be laid in the resulting cavity between the wall and the panels.

Conclusion

Using dry plaster is an excellent alternative to traditional wall plastering. Of course, this finishing option cannot completely replace it; for example, dry plaster is not applicable for exterior work. But, in some cases, leveling walls with plasterboard is a much better option.
