Full Instructions for Plastering Walls and Safety Procedures

A thin layer of the mortar used for plastering acts as a damp-proof finish over the brick masonry construction. Plastering work also provides a sturdy, finished surface over the masonry, which enhances the building's appearance.

The primary purposes of plastering are to protect the surface from atmospheric influences, cover porous materials, conceal subpar masonry work, and provide a surface suitable for painting.

Precautions

Using steel or wooden scaffolding, the inside wall plastering must be completed appropriately to meet site-specific criteria. It should be necessary to construct double steel scaffolding that is robust enough to support all expected loads for the external periphery. Thorough surface preparation is necessary before the plastering process can begin. The joint of the brick wall must be correctly racked out. To get rid of dust and lost mortar, use a brush and a scraper. Before plastering can start, the surface must be carefully cleaned, moistened, and dried.

Plaster application guidelines

The internal brick masonry must be done before interior plastering can start. Each floor's brickwork should be completed before starting any external plasterwork. Since external plastering is always done from top to bottom of the building, the ceiling plaster should be finished before starting work on the walls.
