A more frequent application for today still finds facade stucco from foam, plaster and polyurethane, so the recommendations on the independent design of outer walls are applied to the use of these materials.

Features of the creation of plaster stucco

Gypsum stucco was used to decorate various surfaces in the time of ancient civilizations. Despite the fact that the current building materials market provides a fairly wide range of species, both natural and artificial origin, gypsum enjoys unpaid demand for the design of various construction projects thanks to a number of advantages.

Benefits of plaster decor

If you prefer the facade stucco from plaster, make sure that your choice is correct, noting the main advantages of such a material:

1. Component composition exclusively from natural substances, which guarantees its harmlessness.
2. Excellent strength indicators - such a stucco is preserved by centuries, without losing its attractiveness and cannot be destructed under the influence of various natural phenomena.
3. Maximum pattern shape accuracy.
4. High indicators of moisture resistance.
5. Non-hatching.

Important! Please note that gypsum and durable and at the same time fragile material, which can be cooled with rough mechanical exposure. Therefore, during the installation process should be very neat. In addition, check before choosing a gypsum as the main material for stucco, how much the future load on the walls are valid, since after frozen, when exposed to moisture, this material is dried.

Preparation of solution and molding

To perform this work, prepare the following materials:

• silicone or plasticine forms;
• dry gypsum powder;
• water;
• colorless varnish;
• tassel;
• wooden blade;
• construction mixer or any other tool suitable for mixing the solution;
• small-grained sandpaper.

Sequence of preparation of gypsum solution and molding:

1. Select the finished pattern of silicone pattern or make an independently shape of plasticine.
2. If plasticine preferences, wait for drying to a complete fold.
3. Treat the inner surface of the finished shape with colorless varnish.
   

   Important! Such an approach to eliminate the adhesion of the gypsum to the surface of the shape and destruction of the finished element when removing.

4. Wait for drying.
5. Mix the gypsum dry mixture with water in the proportion of 0.7 liters of water per 1 kg of powder.
   

   Important! Start the preparation of the solution immediately before the fill in the form, as the time of frozen gypsum is short.
6. Stir the components to obtain a homogeneous pasta mass.
   

   Important! Note that you can add powder into the solution, but it is impossible to top up to obtain the desired density. Otherwise, the strength characteristics of the finished frozen material will decrease.

7. Apply the brush of the first layer of the solution in shape.
8. Thoroughly scroll all the protrusions and depressions to ensure maximum conformity of the pattern parameters.
9. Apply the following layers of the solution using the blade.
10. Carefully crumple the surface after reaching the desired thickness of the decorative element.
11. Wait for drying.
    

    Important! Drying time varies from 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the chosen gypsum brand. Carefully read the instructions on the packaging.

12. Gently remove the finished fragment of the future facade stucco.
13. Clean the surface of fine-grained emery paper to give her smoothness.
14. Paint the desired fragments into the selected shade if they decided to arrange color stucco.
15. Review the video in which the entire process of self-molding of plaster is clearly shown to eliminate the emergence of any issues on technology in the process of performing work.

Features of the design of the facade with the help of polyurethane

This material relatively recently acquired its popularity for decorating stucco. But despite this, stalling the leading positions on a par with a gypsum.

Why is it profitable to use polyurethane forms to decorate the building?

Properly decorated polyurethane facade stucco differs in the following advantages:

• Preserving a stable light weight, regardless of the conditions of application. Such a property is ensured by the lack of moisture absorption, due to which, mostly, the details are lost.
• Reliable fastening. Polyurethane is suitable not only for decorating stone, but also wooden surfaces, which significantly expands the possibilities of its use as a facing embossed pattern of facades.
• No deformation of the created form. After a certain period of operation, all fragments from polyurethane retain their parameters, even with direct mechanical exposure.
• Wide species series of decoration models. The diversity presented on the market for all sorts of stucco stucco items allows you to choose the most interesting option, which significantly reduces the facing time and makes unprofitable independent manufacture of parts.
  

  Important! Despite such weighty arguments in favor of polyurethane, we note that the duration of its operation is long, but still inferior to the facade stucco from the gypsum.

Decorative Elements Fastening Technology

The main stages of this process are similar to the installation of facade stucco from other materials, but there are some distinctive moments that and pay attention to:

1. Prepare the surface as accuracy with the described technology.
