Stonecrete Plaster
Overview
What is Stonecrete Plaster / Plaster Wall Texture?
Stonecrete plaster is composed of a mix of elements: cement, coarse aggregate (usually crushed stone), fine marble powder, hardener, and water. You can change the look of the finished plaster by making changes in the elements using white cement instead of Gray cement, for example, or using crushed colour glass in place of crushed stone. These choices can change the look of exposed aggregate concrete dramatically.
Special decorative aggregates are frequently used for exposed Stone Crete Plaster and include a variety of decorative stones in many different colours. While Stonecrete plaster finishers usually hide the aggregate with a smooth layer of cement paste, you can create aesthetically appealing looks by exposing the aggregate. This plaster is a 10 to 15-mm thick granular effect decorative texture.
