Hello ladies and gentlemen, in this video, we finish Sheetrock with a lime plaster base and finish coat. No material can finish off Sheetrock faster and with such quality as the lime plaster two-coat system, which is explained.
Two lime-based plasters are sold in my area; both are made by USG.
One is named Imperial, and the other is Diamond.
Limestone offers numerous benefits, including being cost-effective, durable, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly. It’s a natural stone with a wide range of uses, from building materials to agriculture and water treatment.
Here’s a more detailed look at the benefits:
1. Cost-Effective and Accessible: Limestone is a naturally abundant resource, making it relatively inexpensive compared to other building materials, says www.limestone.com.
2. Durability and Longevity: Limestone is renowned for its exceptional strength and resistance to wear and tear, as noted on www.limestone.com. Structures built with limestone can last for centuries.
3. Aesthetic Appeal and Versatility: Limestone comes in a variety of colors and textures, offering a natural and beautiful appearance that can enhance any design, as noted on www.limestone.com. It can be used for paving, flooring, walls, and a variety of other applications.
4. Environmental Benefits: Limestone is a natural material with minimal environmental impact, says www.arrowlandscapegardening.com. It can also be utilized in ecological applications, such as water treatment and air pollution control.
5. Agricultural Applications: Limestone is used to adjust soil pH, providing essential nutrients that support healthy plant growth and enhance crop yields.
6. Industrial Uses: Limestone is a key ingredient in various industries, including steel manufacturing, paper production, and water treatment.
7. Health Benefits: Limestone powder can be a source of calcium, which is essential for maintaining bone health and supporting various bodily functions. I applied the same Lime plaster in my living areas, as I believe breathing in the mineral limestone to be beneficial as well.
I have said this many times: lime costs more here, so it’s not surprising that most bags list gypsum, lime, and other additives as well. What are these other additives? No doubt less expensive additives than lime?
We plasterers know that inexpensive plasters are lime-based and are readily available in the UK.
Here in the USA, we buy what’s available.
The Diamond Finish is harder than regular gauging and lime putty finishes. In my day, it was 1 part gypsum gauging plaster to 2 parts lime; what is it used for today?
Who really knows? I’m an applicator, not an engineer, with no desire to invest the time to see what new so-called additive has replaced the costly natural lime.
Today, these same Diamond bases and finishes are still used in schools, hospitals, police stations, racquetball courts, and other settings.
