Material

Plaster

Plaster is a gypsum- or lime-based wet-applied finish material forming smooth, durable interior wall and ceiling surfaces. It hardens through hydration or carbonation, providing a seamless base for paint or decorative treatments.

Applied in multi-coat systems over lath or drywall in adaptive reuse, cultural buildings, houses, and modernist residences, often paired with brick, ceramic tile, or concrete. It delivers acoustic control, fire resistance, and aesthetic uniformity in partitions and soffits.

Gypsum plasters involve mining and calcination with moderate embodied carbon; lime plasters sequester CO2 during curing but require energy-intensive burning. Both generate construction waste if not mixed precisely.
