HOW DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN AFFECT PLASTERING?

Plastering is a very important process in both construction and renovation. It is a make-it-or-break-it thing for your home or office space. The quality of the plaster and its application is what makes it stand out and be durable. Success in application is what hinges on the professionalism in the application and how the weather conditions are managed. Lituma Plastering knows the importance of balancing weather and plaster and our dedicated crew has mastered the art for the same. This is an insight from the forerunners of the plastering industry who know how to juggle different weather conditions and plastering. Weather conditions significantly affect the whole plastering process, from the drying up of the walls to the curing of the plaster. All these things make a huge huge difference in the way the plaster will turn out to be. High temperatures can cause rapid drying and cracks while low temperatures can increase vulnerability to damage. Humidity on the other hand can affect the drying rates and increase the cracking rate of the plaster. This does not end here, wind has a very high chance of contaminating the plaster with debris leading to an uneven structure. Professionals have the skill of mitigating these conditions and plastering at the correct time to minimize the risk of damage in any form.

Several weather problems make the plaster look patched or dry but not with us. Let us walk you through the whole process of plastering and how it is affected by the weather conditions.

High Temperatures

Elevated temperatures are the most common environmental factor that disrupts the plastering process. The raised temperatures make the plaster dry up quickly and leave the plaster highly dehydrated. As a result, the plaster gets cracks on its surface and compromises quality. This can be prevented by working during the cooler hours.

Low Temperatures

The setting of the plaster slows down in cold climates as the chemical reaction slows down significantly. Prolonged exposure to cold may make the water inside the plaster freeze causing cracks on the surface. Portable heaters in the workspace can do the trick.
