Gypsum plasters are wall and ceiling finishing materials that provide a smooth surface, good moisture regulation and aesthetic appearance. They are made on the basis of gypsum and are popular in interior decoration, especially in residential and office buildings. Gypsum is a natural material that provides breathable walls, improves the microclimate of the room and helps regulate air humidity by absorbing excess moisture and releasing it when the air becomes too dry.

Gypsum plasters are easy to apply and provide a perfectly smooth surface suitable for painting or decorative coatings. They can be used on concrete, brick and plasterboard walls, and they harden quickly, reducing the time for finishing work. Unlike cement plasters, gypsum plasters are lighter and more flexible, which reduces the risk of cracking.

However, gypsum plasters are not as moisture-resistant as cement plasters, so they are not suitable for wet rooms, such as bathrooms and basements. To increase moisture resistance, they can be treated with special primers and protective coatings. Gypsum plasters are an environmentally friendly solution, as they do not produce harmful emissions and provide high fire safety.
