Plasterers are building professionals who apply plaster to walls and ceilings to create a finished look to an interior space. They may work with new construction or manage repairs to existing buildings. In addition to the creation of basic coverings on walls and ceilings, plastering may also involve the creation of architectural details that enhance the overall look of the space.

For basic plastering jobs, the plasterer will begin with either a solid surface or wire lathing that is attached to the surface. For many projects, an even coat of gypsum is applied to the facing of the wall or ceiling to create a surface that the plaster will adhere to with no problems. The use of gypsum is particularly helpful when the plaster professional is working with a concrete wall. With the gypsum in place, the builder will apply what is typically known as the finish coat. This coast is usually plaster that is formulated with a lime base. For jobs where some sort of lathing was employed, the person putting up the plaster will also use a tool known as a hawk, which is used to hold the plaster before it’s applied.
