Brick Wall Plastering

 Types of Plaster for Brick Walls

When plastering brick walls, choosing the right type of plaster is essential to achieve the best results. Several types of plaster are commonly used, each offering specific benefits depending on the application and environment. Below are some of the most popular types of plaster we use for brick walls:

• Gypsum Plaster: This is a smooth, versatile plaster that is ideal for interior brick walls. It’s quick to apply and provides a smooth finish that’s perfect for painting.
• Lime Plaster: A more traditional option, lime plaster is breathable and works well in older buildings. It helps to regulate humidity and prevent mould growth.
• Cement Plaster: For exterior walls or areas exposed to moisture, cement plaster is highly durable and resistant to the elements. It provides a strong finish for brick walls in areas with high wear and tear.
• Acrylic Plaster: Ideal for modern homes, offering flexibility, resisting cracks, and applying smoothly over various surfaces, including brick.

Each type of plaster has its advantages depending on the needs of your wall. At MI Painting & Maintenance, we carefully assess your brick wall’s requirements and recommend the most suitable plaster for your project.

Techniques to Plaster Brick Walls

Plastering brick walls requires expertise and knowledge of various techniques. At MI Painting & Maintenance, we use advanced methods to ensure a high-quality finish that lasts for years. The process involves multiple steps to achieve a smooth, durable surface. Here are the essential techniques used when plastering brick walls:

1. Surface Preparation: Before plastering, it’s essential to clean the brick wall thoroughly. Remove any dirt, dust, or old plaster to ensure the new plaster bonds properly to the surface.
2. Applying Bonding Agent: A bonding agent is applied to the brick wall to ensure that the plaster sticks effectively. This ensures that the plaster adheres to the bricks and creates a solid base.
3. Layering Plaster: The plaster is applied in layers. The first layer, known as the bonding coat, is applied generously to fill any gaps in the bricks. After it has been set, a finishing coat is used to create a smooth, even surface.
4. Smoothing and Finishing: Once the plaster has dried, the wall is smoothed out using a float or trowel. This process ensures that the surface is even and free of blemishes, giving the wall a polished, professional finish.

These techniques ensure that your plastered brick wall not only looks great but also remains durable and functional for years. Our team brings extensive experience in plastering residential and commercial brick walls, delivering exceptional results every time.
