Dry Lining (Plasterboarding)

Exactly What is Plaster?

Plaster is a building material that is used for decorating or protecting walls and ceilings in Brede, and for producing decorative elements. What most people call "plaster" in the British Isles is normally looked at as the material that's used for coating the interior rooms of houses and buildings, whilst that which is used on outside walls is called "render" or "rendering". Plaster compounds typically contain either cement, gypsum, or lime, all of which work in relatively similar ways. Plaster is a dry powder when manufactured and when needed, is mixed with water to create a stiff but easy to work paste just before application. The mixing of the water and the plaster powder causes a chemical reaction, and heat is produced through crystallization, making the paste harden.
