Gypsum does not emit harmful substances, it is resistant to fungi. Among the shortcomings is only relatively heavy weight and fragility. Gypsum for artistic molding choose G-7 and above. This property of gypsum, like the expansion after drying, is very convenient for the manufacture of stucco molding, because in this way small particles of gypsum can penetrate into all the holes of even the most complicated form for casting.
Types of plaster moldings
Gypsum stucco in the interior can be found on walls and ceilings. The assortment of stucco decoration is wide enough and each of its varieties has many variations.
Gypsum stucco on the walls is represented by plaster cornices, moldings, friezes and individual compositions of gypsum. Cornices are used to decorate the joints between walls and ceiling and to hide the unevenness of the seams between the named planes. They can be quite simple, smooth, and can contain various ornaments and curls. Naturally, the more complex the composition of gypsum, the more expensive such a cornice.
Gypsum moldings are some ornaments for the upper part of the wall in the form of a figured bar. They have something in common with the cornices, but they mostly play an artistic role and are combined with the original corner elements from the gypsum, creating a unique composition. Also, moldings can decorate walls, framing individual sections of wallpaper or painted walls, giving the walls an expressive look.
Gypsum friezes for walls are a decorative lath that frames the wall along the perimeter. Most often, gypsum friezes are used when pasting a room with two different kinds of wallpaper, often contrasting. In this case, the frieze separates such wallpaper, creating an original design of the room.
For particularly refined interiors, exclusive gypsum compositions can be created, which become the central point of the room. This is not an expensive pleasure, as the handmade stucco from gypsum in this case is made to order and has no analogues.
