Gypsum plaster

This is the product most people are familiar with in Australia. Used for insulating and strengthening interior walls, it gives a smooth white finish perfect for painting or moulding. Plaster lining provides a smooth substrate for interior finishes, while clay plasterboard is used as a wall lining where a clay-based build-up is specified. Square set plaster creates a clean junction between wall and ceiling without a cornice.

Cement plaster

Cement plaster is a mixture of cement and fine sand. Stronger and more weather resistant than most other types, it is often used for floors and walls.

Acoustic plaster

Acoustic plaster has a textured finish due to the addition of fibres and/or aggregate to the mixture. The rough surface helps to break up sound waves and prevent echoes. Plaster glass can be considered for specialist interior finishes where a plaster-based surface is required.

The advantages of high-quality plasters

By choosing higher-quality plastering supplies and materials, the product will be of a more even texture with fewer impurities. This creates a smoother finish, making it stronger and more resistant to chips or cracks. Over time, water and humidity can cause a building’s plaster to become brittle and crumble. Higher-quality options often contain plasticisers and waterproofing agents to prevent this issue.

How to choose a plaster that’s right for you

The first consideration is whether the area to be worked on is inside or outside. Plastering supplies in Australia, suitable for outside use can be used inside, but indoor products should never be used on outside surfaces.

Secondly, you may wish to consider whether you would like the final product to be smooth or textured. If you wish to apply a textured finish you may want to consider hiring a professional, as they often have a range of potential options to choose from.

For your buiding project, it is essential to incorporate sealants and adhesives, as they play a crucial role in securely bonding various elements together. Additionally, the inclusion of concrete and cement ensures a robust structural foundation. Furthermore, the application of grouts and surface treatment products adds the finishing touches, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and long-term durability of the project.

Why do you plaster walls?

Is it difficult to plaster walls?

It’s possible to learn how to do it yourself, but if you want a perfect finish or a particular pattern, it’s best to hire a professional in Australia. With little experience, it can be time consuming and messy.

How long does it take to plaster a room?

Hiring a professional can cost anywhere from $400 - $2,000 per wall, depending on the size of the wall, the design, and the level of prep work required. Materials start at around $200 a wall.
