PLASTERING

 PLASTERING

A thin layer of plastic mortar is put to the ceiling and walls to provide an even, smooth, uniform, and clean surface. This thin layer of covering is called as Plaster. Plastering is the technique of applying this layer to the surfaces. Plastering is done with plastic mortar, which is made by mixing some binding ingredient (like lime, cement, or mud) with fine aggregate and water in an appropriate proportion.
