 Benefits of Gypsum Plaster vs. Sand Cement Plaster

Only when the inside walls are built to a high standard can a house's overall appearance be improved. Gypsum plastering and traditional sand cement plastering are two choices accessible for this work.

Environmental Impact

Most Indian states are concerned about the availability of river sand. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has made steps to resolve this problem by pursuing legal action against vendors who unlawfully mine river sand. River sand has also become an expensive resource as a result of its scarcity, which slows down construction projects.

Gypsum plastering, on the other hand, can be totally recycled and so provides no environmental risk. It's built out of Plaster of Paris, which is made by melting gypsum rock. When water is added to this material, it reverts to its original state, providing the requisite strength.

Water is a limited resource

Water curing is required for a sand cement plaster repair for at least 7 days. Water shortage is gradually increasing as a result of the negative impacts of water pollution and other forms of contamination, and it has become a valuable resource. Saving the water that would have been utilized to cure the sand cement plaster will save not only the resource but also the expense.

Gypsum plaster, on the other hand, does not require any type of water curing, saving you both time and money.

Cracks due to shrinkage

Surfaces plastered using sand cement are prone to fractures and fissures. When the heat of hydration is released during the drying of the sand cement plaster, this occurs.

Gypsum plaster, on the other hand, does not have any heat of hydration and hence does not break.

Application Method

Sand cement plaster is made by combining 1 part cement with 4 parts sand. It is, however, impossible to ensure that this proportion remains constant. Furthermore, there is a substantial risk of contamination and loss of the prepared mixture while mixing.

After being mixed with water, Gypsum plaster can be applied directly to any surface. This ensures that a consistent mixture is used throughout the construction process and that the project's quality is preserved.

Settling Time

It takes a minimum of 15 days for traditional plaster to become hard and solid. Additionally, sifting sand on-site is a significant difficulty.

Gypsum plaster, on the other hand, takes half an hour to set and takes 78 hours to reach full potency.

Final finish

The final surface formed by conventional plaster is coarse and rough, and it requires further finishing so that it appears leveled and smooth.

Gypsum Plaster makes the surface appear straight and level, as well as smooth enough to be painted. Take a look at some of our recent home painting projects for examples of well-done work. Visit Viva Gypsum Plastering Company to learn more about Gypsum Plaster and home interior services.
