Decorating the facades of buildings with pebble plaster today is very popular. It is used both for residential buildings and for various administrative and industrial buildings. From this article you will learn about all the features of pebble decorative plaster.
Features of pebble facade plaster
There are two main options for such coverage.
The first is a pebble filler mixed with water and acrylic. As a result of such finishing, the surface of the wall will have a texture of coarse sand. By the way, the grain size can also be different (usually from 1 to 2.5 mm).
The second option is filler compounds with lime and cement. The resulting coating is called " fur coat " and has high performance characteristics: in particular, it protects the walls from the effects of precipitation and temperature changes.
However, note: the coating will hold well and will last long only if you have correctly prepared the surface for plastering. For this you need:
- to clean the walls from contamination in the form of spots of bitumen, dried mortar, etc .;
- remove previous coatings, including old plaster;
- cracks, if any, and maximize the surface;
- apply a primer to the wall and allow it to dry. Primer significantly improves the graspability of the solution.
Then a solution is prepared (mineral pebble decorative plaster with a mixer mixes with water in the proportion indicated on the package). Try to apply the plaster to the wall in the shortest possible time, as the solution settles quickly enough. For example, the plaster "Ceresit" for this will take 1 hour.
