A few of the common problems are the lack of adhesive, cracks developing in the walls, inconsistent thickness, etc. Plastering is a skill that requires experience and technique. It is important to know these problems and know when to call your contactor to get them fixed.
Plastering is the most widespread technique that is used both in the home and commercial world. There are a few techniques that are used that are required to get the perfect plastering on the wall. The first step is prepping the wall. It starts by removing the paint and rubbing the surface with sandpaper to get any kind of residue off the surface. Any damage on the surface is also repaired before applying the new plaster. This ensures that the plasters stick to the surface well and the adhesion does its job. The surface is prepared and then the mixture is created using either gypsum or nowadays a more sustainable material. Followed by evenly applying it to the surface. If required designs are added or the surface is left plain.
When the correct technique is followed, the chances of the plaster developing any kind of issue are very low. But when any step is missed or completed in a hurry cracks, peeling off the plaster, etc can develop. The contractor you hire should know the proper technique for identifying the problem and follow it duly to reverse the damage. They should start by pinpointing the issue and getting to its root cause.
The first and most common problem is the surface beneath not being prepped properly. Either the paint is not removed properly or the surface is not cleaned can lead to such problems. It is a critical step and if missed will surely cause all kinds of damage later on.
This happens when no primer is used for the surface to give the plaster a surface to stick to. Lack of adhesion will lead to the plaster pealing giving a very shabby look. The simple solution to this is redoing the plaster and making sure that the surface is free of any kind of impurities.
