Thin plaster is a ready-to-use plaster based on synthetic resin dispersion that is applied to walls and ceilings by machine in one or two layers of a few millimeters. The drying time is considerably shorter than regular plaster, around 24 hours. This means that soon after applying the thin plaster, you can start finishing your new home and move in quickly.

Difference between stucco and thin plaster

Thin plaster is a type of stucco, but is emphatically different from regular stucco. The visual end result, on the other hand, is the same as regular stucco. Application of thin plaster is faster and easier than other types of stucco because thin plaster is applied by machine with a thin plaster sprayer and the layer is applied significantly thinner than in regular stucco. Thin plaster is a layer of 0 to 2 millimeters; regular stucco is often a layer of between 5 and 12 millimeters.
