Unlike ordinary plaster, which evens out the surface and creates the basis for finishing painting or wallpapering, polished plaster is applied to the already prepared base and, being the finishing material, immediately gives the wall a finished, unique look. You can click here to get a detail of the entire set of services in polished plastering. First understand about the kind of plastering that you would have.
The composition of polished plaster, as a rule, includes:
A binder polymer (in the form of an aqueous dispersion), most often an acrylic copolymer, is a film-forming component. Connects pigments and fillers, is responsible for the properties of the coating.
Fillers
- Mineral compounds that create the necessary structure and are responsible for the effects (quartz sand, ground marble, etc.).
- In some cases (metallic, mother of pearl, soft touch, flock coatings), fillers can also be polymer.
Pigments
- Insoluble compounds in the system, responsible for the color of the coating. As a rule, most plasters are produced in white, for which titanium dioxide is responsible.
Technological additives (wetting agents, dispersants, stabilizers, rheological additives and thickeners, waxes, antifoam agents, preservatives) are the know-how of each individual formulation and determine its properties and stability.

Polished plaster – a mixture of acrylic, silicone, silicate or mineral based. max-01.jpgThe material, whose homeland is Italy, is designed to create a wear-resistant coating with the effect of stone, fabric, leather and wood on walls, floors and other surfaces. Polished plaster can transform the room, make the interior dynamic.
The artistic value of the plaster for the decoration of the room is obvious. The durable coating, unlike other natural materials, can easily withstand temperature changes, humidity and mechanical stress.
The difference betweenpolished plaster and usual in functionality
The purpose of using the usual one is to align the walls, the decoration is the finishing. It is actively used in public and private premises. Thanks to the wide possibilities of the material, he is actively winning the hearts of decorators and consumers.
For rooms with high humidity, mineral plaster is the only salvation. Due to vapor permeability, moisture does not accumulate under the surface and fungal microorganisms do not develop.
Polished plaster creates various polished effects on the surface. Usually, depending on the depth of the relief, they are divided into thin-layer and texture (textured) plasters. Thin-layer plasters include coatings imitating various effects of fabric, for example, silk, velvet or suede or polished marble, sand dunes. As a rule, these are thin translucent coatings, which some contain pearlescent pigment, mica, special fillers, dispersions and modifying additives. They provide the creation of unusual polished effects. These coatings can be easily used both for decoration of apartments, as an alternative to wallpaper, and for decoration of office premises. All thin-coat plasters, except for Venetian, waterproof, can be washed with mild detergents.
Texture polished plasters are used to create, as a rule, coarser textures that imitate stone, brick or other polished relief with a depth of 1 mm to 10 mm. All of these polished plasters, except Bas-relief and Marmorino effect plasters, can be used both indoors and outdoors. The structured polished plasters include a larger filler (marble chips), cellulose fiber, which allows you to create a deep relief on the surface.
Such materials are used to decorate rooms in the style of loft, empire, baroque, and are also often used to decorate cafes, restaurants, etc.
