For interior decoration, as a rule, use the structural plaster, water-based - it does not smell, so the house will not have to leave at the time of repair. The degree of granularity of the plaster can be different: fine-grained plaster makes a wall nearly flat, and plaster from granules of natural stone forms a relief in the form of transverse or circular grooves. It is extremely important, what tool will be used for plastering: roller, trowel or spray. Work with structural plaster is somewhat simpler than decorative. The wall is cleaned, primed, and then applied to the composition, which do not have to cook - it is sold in cans or pails of 15-25 kg.

But now some companies, realizing the plaster, if desired, the buyer gives detailed instructions for applying the same "Venetian". The temptation, of course, is to take a trowel or roller itself, especially when it turns out that the work of a specialist would cost several times more expensive than the material. But not having the necessary skills and not having artistic taste, it is best not even try to plaster the walls themselves.

Then, in traffic jams with a solution derived perfectly aligned "beacons" - strips from floor to ceiling, and only after the seizure of these bands is the space between them filled with a solution. However, if you sign a contract with a licensed firm engaged in decorating the walls of "turnkey", you will not only jeopardize the necessary materials and fine jewelry will create a "artistic image" of the wall, but also provide a guarantee on it - a year and a half.
