Plastering is the process of applying plaster to internal walls. Plaster is a construction material that coats and protects the inside walls and ceilings. It is also used to decorate the walls as it can be formed into crown cornices, ceiling roses, corbels and other architectural mouldings.

Proper surface preparation and base coat application are crucial for a durable and long-lasting finish. This involves cleaning, repairing, and priming the surface to ensure optimal adhesion and a smooth, even base for the final coat.

Skimming and finishing techniques, in the context of construction and reading, involve applying a thin layer of material to achieve a smooth, even surface or quickly grasping the main ideas of a text, respectively.

Decorative plastering encompasses techniques like Venetian, stucco, and specialty finishes, creating textured and artistic wall and ceiling surfaces, often with a marble-like or unique aesthetic.

To maintain plastered surfaces, regularly clean them with a soft cloth, address cracks promptly, prevent moisture damage, and consider professional repairs for extensive damage.
