Choose between traditional lime plaster (€25-€40/m²) and modern gypsum plaster (€15-€25/m²). Lime plaster is ideal for older buildings and offers better breathability. Gypsum plaster dries faster and is cheaper. Decorative plaster costs €12-€23/m². For bathrooms and kitchens, consider water-resistant plaster at €18-€30/m². The choice affects both cost and performance.
Rushing the drying process can lead to cracking and poor paint adhesion. Use dehumidifiers to speed up drying, especially in Ireland’s damp climate. Allow an extra 1-2 days in your schedule for every 5mm thickness of plaster.
Proper preparation is crucial for a quality finish. Allow 1-2 days for preparation in an average room. Good preparation can extend the lifespan of your plasterwork by 20-30%.
Plastering can enhance a home's thermal efficiency by up to 20%. In Ireland, where heating accounts for about 60% of household energy use, this can lead to significant savings. A well-plastered room can reduce heat loss by 5-10%, potentially saving €100-€200 annually on energy bills for an average Irish home.
Plaster helps regulate humidity, absorbing excess moisture when humidity is high and releasing it when the air is dry. This is particularly important in Ireland's damp climate. Proper plastering can reduce the risk of mould growth by up to 50%, improving indoor air quality.
Plaster can reduce sound transmission by up to 10 decibels, equivalent to halving the perceived noise level. For semi-detached or terraced houses, which make up 50% of Irish dwellings, improved soundproofing can significantly enhance living quality.

In Ireland, plastering costs typically range from €10 to €30 per square metre. For a standard 3x3m wall, expect to pay €90-€270. Prices in Dublin are often 10-20% higher. Factors affecting cost include wall condition, type of plaster, and finish required. A full room (4 walls) might cost €400-€1,200. Additional charges may apply for preparation work (€50-€100) or corner beading (€5-€10 per metre). Always get multiple quotes for accurate pricing.
1. Prepare the wall by cleaning and applying PVA primer. 2. Mix plaster to a creamy consistency. 3. Apply first coat (2-3mm thick) using a plastering trowel, working from bottom to top. 4. Allow to partially set (about 20 minutes). 5. Apply second coat (1-2mm thick). 6. Smooth with a wet trowel. 7. Allow to dry for 24-48 hours. For best results, maintain room temperature at 15-20°C and ensure good ventilation. Novices should practice on a small area first.
Plaster typically takes 2-3 days to dry enough for painting, but full curing can take up to 4 weeks. Factors affecting drying time include: 1. Thickness (each mm takes about 24 hours to dry) 2. Humidity (ideal is 50-60%) 3. Temperature (optimal is 15-20°C) 4. Ventilation Use fans and dehumidifiers to speed up drying. Avoid rapid drying as it can cause cracking. Test dryness by pressing with your thumb – if it leaves no mark, it’s ready for decorating.
1. Clean and repair the wall surface. 2. Apply a waterproof render mix (1:1:6 cement:lime:sand) in 2 coats, each 8-10mm thick. 3. Allow 24 hours between coats. 4. Apply a finish coat of lime-based plaster (5-7mm thick). 5. Smooth with a wooden float. 6. Cure for 7-10 days, misting with water daily. Use materials suitable for Irish weather conditions. Consider adding waterproofing agents. Expect to pay €30-€50 per square metre for professional external plastering.
Yes, plaster can be dyed. Add pigments to the dry mix before adding water, using 5-10% pigment by weight. Alternatively, use pre-coloured plasters available in various shades. For consistent colour, mix entire batch at once. Expect colour to lighten by 20-30% when dry. Test on a small area first. Coloured plaster costs about 20-30% more than standard plaster.
