Choosing Materials for Rough Construction Work: Plaster, Screed, and Drywall

IMG

Rough construction work determines how ровные стены, durable floors, and stable partitions will be after finishing. When selecting plaster, screed, and drywall, focus on the room conditions, required strength, and the final finish you plan to apply. Plaster is chosen primarily by base material and влажность. Gypsum plaster is ideal for dry жилые rooms: it applies smoothly, shrinks less, and creates a comfortable microclimate. Cement-based plaster is better for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and фасад zones due to moisture resistance and strength, though it is heavier and can be harder to level. Pay attention to recommended layer thickness, adhesion to concrete/brick, and working time. Use primers and reinforcing mesh on weak substrates or when applying thicker layers. Floor screed should match the нагрузка and installation method. Traditional cement-sand screed is универсальный and cost-effective for most apartments and houses. For faster leveling or underfloor heating, consider self-leveling compounds or semi-dry screed: they reduce drying time and minimize cracking when installed correctly. Always check compressive strength class, допустимая thickness, and compatibility with теплый пол. Don’t skip expansion joints and perimeter edge strips. Drywall (gypsum board) is selected by purpose: standard sheets for dry rooms, влагостойкий boards for влажные areas, and fire-rated boards near boilers or kitchens. Evaluate sheet thickness, frame spacing, and the need for acoustic insulation. Correct screws, tapes, and joint compounds are crucial to prevent cracks. Using the right system—not just the cheapest bag—helps avoid uneven finishes, delamination, and ремонты later. Consult local contractors listed in a business directory to compare brands, get accurate consumption estimates, and choose materials suited to your building and климат.
