  2. Plaster veneer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster_veneer

    Plaster veneer (American English) or plaster skim (British English) is a construction methodology for surfacing interior walls, by applying a thin layer of plaster over a substrate—typically over specially formulated gypsum board base, similar in nature to drywall.

  3. Drywall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall

    The tapered drywall boards are used to countersink the tape in taped jointing, whereas the tape in veneer plastering is buried beneath a level surface. One coat veneer plaster over dry board is an intermediate style step between full multi-coat "wet" plaster and the limited joint-treatment-only given "dry" wall.

  4. Plasterwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasterwork

    This type of sheet rock is designed to absorb some of the moisture of the plaster and thus allow it to cling the plaster better before it sets. Veneer plastering is a one-shot one-coat application; taping usually requires sanding and then adding another coat, since the compound shrinks as it dries.

  5. Plaster spraying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaster_spraying

    Plaster spraying allows a plasterer to skim a drywall more than five times faster than using a hand float to apply it. Although classic gypsum-based plaster can be sprayed if it is "spray grade," most plaster sprayers prefer the organic-based pre-mixed plaster packaged in a plastic bag because the plaster spraying machine does not need to be cleaned out after the job is finished, providing ...

  6. Lath and plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath_and_plaster

    The applier drags the board upward over the wall, forcing the plaster into the gaps between the lath and leaving a layer on the front the depth of the temporary guides, typically about 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm). A helper feeds new plaster onto the board, as the plaster is applied in quantity.

  7. Lath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath

    Metal lath and plaster walls can be twice as resistant to fire as drywall, and are capable of achieving a two-hour fire rating with a 2-inch-thick (5.1 cm) assembly. Two inches of plaster and lath can also achieve the same decibel rating as 4 + 7 ⁄ 8 inches (12 cm) of drywall.

  8. Knockdown texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockdown_texture

    Knockdown texture is a drywall finishing style. It is a mottled texture, it has more changes in textures than a simple flat finish, but less changes than orange peel, or popcorn, texture. Heavy knockdown applied with a spray hopper. Knockdown texture is created by watering down joint compound to a soupy consistency.

  9. Stone veneer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_veneer

    The utilization of thin stone veneer for complete facades of buildings popped up in the 1940s. Stone veneer construction became much of what we see today in the 1950s. Transportation improved, so stone veneer was transported more efficiently and at lower costs than ever before. Methods to attach veneer to steel were developed; diamond-bladed ...
