Cement Rendering At Floor

This is typical practice of making cement render. In this case is cement render at balcony.

First step, ensure right slight fall towards edge of balcony. This is important so that there is no water ponding at the balcony particularly during rain.

Second step, ensure drop (between residential floor and corridor floor) is constructed as per architect drawing. For this project, the specified drop is 100mm.

Then the next work is doing spot peggings of mortar. The level of finished residential floor is used as reference level for drop. So these peggings will be used to make sure finished levels of cement render correct.

After that on the surface of the newly laid cement render with mixture of cement, sand & water, cement powders are placed on the surface before smoothen by trowelling. This is final surface of the cement render at the corridor.

Concrete Plaster Surfaceform Concrete Polished plaster has been developed to create the look and feel of cast or shuttered concrete suitable for application to interior walls, columns and ceilings . The finish can be polished to give a smooth sheen or left more matt with varied texture like the semi polished and honed finish.

Plastering is the process of applying cement render or plaster finish to a surface, such as an interior or exterior wall. Every structure needs plaster for beauty and protection. The purpose of exterior plaster is to shield the building's supporting components from the effects of the outside world (rain, wind, and sunlight), as well as to insulate interior spaces from heat and sound. Please use our simple estimator or use our calculator on the side panel to estimate your needs.
