How to choose the type of plaster

When you decide to cover the
walls of your home, plaster is the fundamental material for this
type of work. 

But what is plaster? Plaster is nothing more than a
mortar-based coating composed of aggregate and a binder.

Normally, the choice of plaster is up to the designer,
but sometimes it is possible to do it yourself or perhaps contact a company
specialized (Calchera San Giorgio), so it is very useful to know the
properties of this particular compound.

Furthermore, the plaster is divided into three different layers,
that is to say:

  1. Rinzaffo.
  2. Arriccio.
  3. Intonachino.

To learn more about the topic, read the article: “Lime plaster for interiors”.

What does it depend on?
choice of type of plaster?

In addition to the evaluation of the three layers, the choice of
type of plaster to be applied on the walls also depends on the environments
present in your home.

For example, hydraulic lime plaster is a
breathable material capable of absorbing humidity from the walls, eliminating
thus the problems of condensation and mold and guaranteeing living comfort.  

This is why this type of plaster is ideal for
rooms in your home.
