Gypsum Plaster
The truth beneath the paint: the flatter the wall, the kinder the light — gypsum plaster builds that flatness.
Gypsum plaster is the standard carrier surface of interior walls and ceilings: applied over brick, AAC block or raw concrete, it prepares the ground for paint and decorative coats that forgive nothing under raking light. At EMC Decor, application starts with screed rails: set by laser, they control coat thickness at every point, and every surface is verified against the straightedge.
We prefer machine application: the mix is uniform, pumped onto the wall, and large surfaces are covered seamlessly in one pass. Corner beads at door and window reveals, and mesh reinforcement at material junctions (concrete-to-brick, drywall-to-masonry) are standard — cracks start at these transitions, so we reinforce them from the outset.

What thickness is gypsum plaster applied at?
Standard is 8–15 mm; areas over 25 mm need layered application or a base fill first. We map thicknesses during rail set-up and write them into the quote.
Can you plaster AAC block directly?
Yes, but never without primer: AAC absorbs water fast and 'burns' the plaster. An absorbency-regulating primer balances the moisture so the coat cures properly.
What causes plaster cracks?
Three main causes: no mesh at material junctions, forced drying (overheating) and plastering weak surfaces without primer. All three are prevented by process discipline — which is why we can give a warranty.
Can plastering be done in winter?
Indoors, yes — the space must stay above +5°C with natural ventilation to carry moisture out; drying takes 1–2 days longer in winter and the schedule allows for it.

Satin Finish Plaster
Most of what people call paint defects are satin defects — the final coat's quality is decided at the burnishing stage.
Plastering & Decorative Finishes
Plaster is a home's geometry: a wall's flatness shows in raking light — we check with light as well as the straightedge.
Painting Services
Paint quality isn't in the can — it's in the preparation: get the sanding, filling and priming right and the final coat is flawless.
AAC Block Walls (Ytong)
AAC is the comfortable wall: light enough to spare the structure, porous enough to hold back heat and sound.
