In the construction of modern Australian homes, plaster is often used on walls and ceilings. This building material is also referred to as gyprock and it offers an affordable alternative to bricks and timber framing. It can be installed over existing walls or a new wall in a house extension or renovation project.

A professional plasterer Werribee will ensure the surface is smooth, free of cracks and ridges, and ready to paint. The plasterer will also prepare the surface by cleaning, repairing any damage and mixing a mortar mix. A good plasterer will be able to identify any potential issues with the walls or ceilings such as dampness, movement of the house or foundations or even damage from hard objects hitting the surface.

There are many different types of plastering including drywall, lathe and solid wall plastering. Rendering can hide cracked surfaces, weathered walls, and old dated brickwork. It is available in a wide range of colours and textures to match any architectural style. Solid wall plastering involves applying a wet plaster made up of lime, cement or gypsum onto a wall or ceiling to create either a smooth or textured surface that covers the underlying brickwork. Ornamental plaster or decorative plaster is a more traditional technique that creates ornate features like cornices and ceiling roses. This type of plastering requires a high level of skill and only a few plasterers specialise in this.

The right plasterer can make all the difference to the look of your home or business. Whether you want a smooth finish for a modern look or ornamental work for a heritage feel, a plasterer will have the skills and experience to help you achieve the perfect result.
