Which surfaces can be thin plastered?

<p>Thin plastering costs from €11 per m² of wall or ceiling surface. A bedroom with 40 m² of wall starts at about €440, and a new-build home with around 250 m² of walls and ceilings starts at around €2,750.</p><p>The price depends on the surface (gypsum blocks and sand-lime brick need a primer), the number of joints, corners and window reveals, and the travel distance. For a whole house or a project with several homes the price per m² is lower than for a single room. If your wall is not flat enough for thin plaster, we recommend paint-ready plastering, from €16 per m².</p>Read more

<p>The difference is in the thickness of the layer and in what the surface needs. Thin plaster is a layer of 2 to 3 millimetres that only works on a wall that is already flat, such as gypsum blocks, sand-lime brick or concrete in new builds. Paint-ready plastering is thicker and can level a crooked or damaged wall first.</p><p>On a good surface, both give a smooth wall that is ready for paint. Thin plastering is then quicker and cheaper: from €11 per m² compared to from €16 per m² for paint-ready plastering. In an older home with holes, cracks or old layers, paint-ready plastering is usually the only way to get a smooth result. During the free site visit we will see which of the two suits your walls.</p>Read more

<p>Thin plaster (dunpleister) is a fine plaster applied in a layer of 2 to 3 millimetres to a flat wall or ceiling. It makes a surface such as gypsum blocks, sand-lime brick, concrete or plasterboard smooth enough to paint. Because the layer is so thin, it dries faster and costs less than regular plastering.</p><p>Thin plaster is mainly used in new builds, where the walls are already straight but still have joints and pores. On a crooked or damaged wall a thin layer is not enough; paint-ready plastering is needed then. With us, thin plastering costs from €11 per m².</p>Read more

<p>A plasterer usually charges per m² of wall or ceiling surface, including materials. At Y.Eser you pay from €11 per m² for thin plastering and from €16 per m² for paint-ready plastering. Preparation such as covering, filling holes and priming is included.</p><p>What a job costs in the end depends on four things: the condition of the surface (old layers, cracks, loose plaster), the total surface area (a whole house is cheaper per m² than one wall), the number of corners and window reveals, and the travel distance. A room of 4 by 5 metres has about 47 m² of wall and 20 m² of ceiling; paint-ready, that starts at around €1,070 for walls and ceiling together.

<p>For paint-ready plastering, allow one to one and a half weeks before you paint. Thin plaster dries faster, usually within a few days to a week, because the layer is only 2 to 3 millimetres.</p><p>Drying time depends on the layer thickness, the temperature and ventilation. Leave a window slightly open and do not turn the heating up high, as drying too fast can cause hairline cracks. Plaster is dry when the colour is evenly light everywhere; as long as there are dark or damp patches, wait. If you paint too early, the paint can peel or stain. For the first coat use a paint suitable for new plaster, or thin the first coat as advised on the tin.</p>Read more
