  • gypsum – covers wooden or gypsum ceiling slabs. The composition includes quartz or perlite sand. Dries quickly, high adhesion, resulting in a flat surface. It is best suited for finishing the ceiling, as it tolerates shrinkage of the house;
  • lime – used for plastering wooden ceilings. The solution has strength, antifungal properties, thermal insulation, the ability to withstand mechanical damage;
  • mineral – contains mineral components. Applied to any surface. Characterized by the ability to resist mold formation, exhibits antibacterial properties;

  • dry plaster – gypsum plasterboard sheets, reduce the time of work, covering large areas at once.

On a plane with pronounced defects, unevenness, chips, use a solution for applying a thick layer to level and prepare for finishing with a decorative composition. For bases without flaws, use mixtures for applying thin layers. After the plaster dries, go over the plane with sandpaper or a grinding machine. The surface is ready for painting or decorating.
