What is plaster?
Plaster is a building material used for the protective or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for moulding and casting decorative elements. The most common types of plaster mainly contain either gypsum, lime, or cement, but all work in a similar way.
The plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with water to form a stiff but workable paste immediately before it is applied to the surface. Plaster is not a strong material; it is suitable for finishing, rather than load-bearing.

Cottage plastering is a rough textured wall finish and stippled plastering is a textured ceiling finish.
