Surface Preparation & Wall Plastering with Bostik: Durability with a Flawless Finish

Whether you’re renovating, redecorating, or starting out a new construction project, it pays to ensure even surfaces and flawless finishes. This helps you paint over them without worrying about having any bumps or imperfections after painting. This will also help the finished product look its best.

Surface Preparation and plastering are two processes that ensure the flawless finish of internal and external surfaces that might affect their overall look after completion. It also adds an extra layer of protection to your project’s surfaces.

What is Surface Preparation and Wall Plastering?

Both surface preparation and wall plastering ensure smooth and evened-out interior walls before being coated with paint.

While wall plastering covers uneven surfaces during construction, surface preparation ensures that all surfaces have a smooth finish that is ready for painting.

These two processes work hand-in-hand to ensure that interior walls and surfaces are flawless even after being painted over.

Why is Surface Preparation and Wall Plastering Important?

Here are four reasons you should go through the processes of surface preparation and wall plastering while you’re constructing or renovating:

1. Plastering makes walls stronger and shinier and gives them a more robust look compared to other walls that don’t go through this process. The reaction that takes place during plastering is essential to strengthening the walls.
2. Wall plastering allows the creation of patterns, designs, and textures on the wall.
3. Surface preparation helps to ensure that any bonding, adhesion, or welding is secure. It also helps to mitigate against problems like corrosion and mechanical damage.
4. Surface preparation also cleans any oils, chlorides, aids, and other contaminants from the surface so that any bonding material won’t be compromised.
