In this method of plastering a special plaster is used, it has been designed to set quickly after being sprayed on, it is called Yeso Projeccion or Yeso Rapido. When plastering by hand a slow setting plaster must be used, this is called Yeso Lento. A thin top coat of a very fine plaster must be applied after to give the final high quality professional finish. Then when it has completely dried after a week or so you can give the surface a fine sand before painting.

The plaster is sprayed on under compression using a three phase electric generator and plaster pump that is built in to the mixer. The plaster runs through the rubber hose to the spray gun and the plasterer gives the wall an even coat of plaster. Within minutes it has to be leveled and smoothed before it sets. Then after about half an hour the plasterers fill any remaining holes and make the final preparations for the thin topcoat finish.

The plastering is now finished in the first villa.

This has brightened it up and you can get the feel of what the villa will look like finished.

We have nearly finished the damp proofing and are ready to start rendering the front walls leading down to the basements.

The second villa has now been rendered and had its first coat of paint.

The block work for the stairs and balconies has bean completed and ready for rendering and we are currently shuttering up the top of the plastic membrane to keep the damp out of the basement.

The plasterers have started on the first villa.

The plaster is sprayed on to the surface of the blocks under extreme pressure and then leveled.

The plasterers then have only a few hours to work until the plaster sets hard.

Then a very fine second application is applied by hand to give the final high quality finish.
