When building a home or redecorating , little thought is given to one of the most integral parts of the home -- the interior walls. Two of the most common forms of interior wall materials are plaster and drywall.

​

Plastering the process of applying a  thin cover of cement mortar over the exposed surface of walls or ceilings to prevent the penetration of rain water. It significantly improves the appearance of the structure and is then ready for painting.

​

Plaster is a building material used for the protective/decorative coating of walls,ceilings,mouldings and casting decorative elements. You can plaster over drywall, over old plaster or directly onto brickwork.​

​

A plaster wall tends to be thicker than a drywall wall, which creates a greater air barrier.

This thickness also creates a good sound barrier between rooms. Plaster can also provide a much more rigid wall leading to reduced likelihood of cracking or breaking. Since plaster is not a solid when it's applied to the wall, it can be a good choice for curved or irregular surfaces. Finally, the gypsum within the plaster has a high water content, which gives the walls fire-resistant qualities.

​

​Drywall (plasterboard) is a construction material used to create walls and ceilings. It's also used to create many design features, including eaves, arches and other architectural specialities. It's quick and easy to install, incredibly durable, and requires only simple repairs when damaged.
