Traditionally, the facades of houses are finished with plaster and then painted. The plaster is usually applied on a previously prepared substrate, and in case the plaster layer is more than 12 mm, a reinforcing mesh is used. This method will prevent the formation of cracks in the plaster during operation of the building. The finished surface can be smooth or decorative. To give the applied layer a decorative effect, special rollers and stamps are used.

Decorative nacreous coating with a sandy effect

There are so-called wet plasters with different decorative splashes and color pigments. As a result of such plastering, the surface becomes rough and does not need painting.
