Interior plastering in Hamburg – machine plastering for new build and refurbishment

Plaster types

Interior plasters differ mainly in their binder – gypsum, lime, cement or clay – and therefore in strength, moisture behaviour and surface finish. We advise on the right plaster for the substrate and use.

• Gypsum plaster – easy to smooth, for living and office spaces
• Lime-gypsum plaster – versatile for dry interiors
• Lime-cement plaster – hard and moisture-resistant, for bathrooms, basements and wet rooms
• Clay plaster – breathable and moisture-regulating for a healthy indoor climate, e.g. in timber and period buildings
• Renovation plaster – for damp and salt-laden walls, for example in basements and older buildings
• Insulating plaster – mineral plaster with an insulating effect, e.g. for interior insulation and uneven walls in older buildings
• Decorative and textured plaster – designed surfaces for prestigious rooms, e.g. in the Elbphilharmonie, more under decorative elements

Surface quality Q1–Q4

The quality levels describe how flat and smooth a plaster surface must be. Q2 is the standard for normal paints and wallpapers; Q3 and Q4 are required for smooth, matt or gloss finishes and for grazing light. We follow the specification in your tender.

Process

1. Substrate inspection and preparation
2. Corner beads and plaster profiles fitted
3. Machine plaster applied and levelled
