About Gypsum plastering

Gypsum Plastering

      Gypsum plastering is a modern day solution to time consuming and ecologically straining process of Sand Cement plaster. Further it saves on POP punning cost which is generally applied on Sand Cement plaster. Gypsum plasters have been used for centuries in the construction space, owing to its excellent and unique properties. It provides excellent thermal and acoustic properties while providing undulation free line and leveled walls with superior finish.


Benefits of Gypsum Plastering Over Sand Cement Plaster

Faster Construction

Sand Cement plaster requires 28 days of water curing and then the surface is smoothened with POP punning which again requires time. With Gypsum plaster you finish your walls and the surface is paint ready within 3 days (days required for complete drying)


Reduced dependency on River Sand

Gypsum plaster comes in ready to use bags. Just add water and you are good to go. River sand mining is environmentally harmful and thus banned in many states. Gypsum plaster provides you with best alternative to usage of river sand for all your internal plastering applications.


Water Curing

Sand Cement plaster requires water for curing of the tune of 0.6 kg/m2/day. So supposing a project of 1,00,000 sq-m you require water of tune of 60000 liters daily. And given that minimum curing time of Sand Cement plaster is 28 days, the quantity multiplies manifold. Gypsum plaster gives you freedom from water curing thus saving your cost as well as environment


Shrinkage Cracks Elimination

Shrinkage cracks are a major problem in Sand Cement plaster which is caused due to high heat of hydration and improper curing. Gypsum plaster doesn’t have these problems and hence the walls are free from shrinkage cracks.


GRIHA Certified and LEED points benefit

Gyproc plaster products are GRIHA certified which helps in easy certification from government agencies. Usage of Gyproc plasters at sites also helps in contributing towards 27 LEED points.


Lighter Building Construction

Density of Gypsum plaster (700 kg/m3) is more than 50% less as compared to traditional Sand cement plaster (1860 kg/m3). Hence usage of Gypsum plaster for wall plastering decreases the structural load on the building.


Reduced Electricity Bills

Our plasters have low thermal conductivity (0.25 W/m-K) as compared to Sand Cement Plaster (0.72 W/m-K). It helps in keeping your houses cool in summer and hot in winters which in turn save energy cost.

Plastering Solutions


Bonding

 

Started as a replacement of hacking at construction sites, today Gyproc BOND-it has become an integral part of Gypsum plastering application. Gyproc BOND-it doubles the strength between plaster and RCC surface with the help of its unique chemical as well as mechanical bonding.

Advantages:

Gyproc BOND-it is a complete replacement of hacking. One coat of Gyproc BOND-it gives you freedom from time consuming and labor intensive hacking process while protecting your concrete from weakening due to unwanted damages




Leveling

A much better alternative to Sand Cement plaster for internal lining application, Gyproc One Coat plasters


Finishing

Gyproc Champion putty is a unique solution which gives you power to get a finish like putty while applying it like plaster. The most important advantage of using Gyproc champion putty is you can build thickness upto 4 mm in one go. Thus you don’t need to wait for first coat to become hard before applying the second coat. It also saves you money by eliminating the use of primer before painting.

  1. Kanish Plasters is India’s trusted gypsum plastering company and has a strong foothold in all major cities. We help builders save on construction time and cost, and are revolutionizing the Indian construction industry. Gypsum Plastering has faster setting time than cement sand plastering. The gypsum walls are paint ready in 4 days compared to 15 days with cement sand plastering. Sand cement plastering needs at least 15 days to reach the inherent properties, whereas gypsum gains its inherent properties within 48 days of application. Gypsum wall plaster gain their total strength within 78 hours.

Hardy slab and where it use

  HARDY SLAB :- These kind of slabs are generally seen in Dubai and China. This  slab is constructed by hardy Bricks. Hardy bricks are hollow bricks and made up of concrete Hollow blocks are used to fill portions of the slab thickness it saves the  amount of concrete and hence the own weight of the slab is reduced. This kind of slab has a more thickness when compared with the conventional one. The thickness of hardy slab is 0.27m. The method of installing Hardy slab is different from normal  and it is clearly explained below: This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. The dimensions of Hardy brick is 40cm x 20cm x 20cm The process of execution is as follows: Step 1   : Formwork is arranged and then shutters are fixed on the formwork. Step 2  : Hardy blocks are placed on the shutter with one brick gap on the entire shutter. Step 3  : The gaps between the bricks are called as rib. Reinforcement is provided in a form of beam within the gap. Step 4  : After placing the

About slump cone test in concrete

Concrete Slump Test for Workability -Procedure and Results. Concrete slump test is to determine the workability or consistency of concrete mix prepared at the laboratory or the construction site during the progress of the work. Procedure for Concrete Slump Test: Clean the internal surface of the mould and apply oil. Place the mould on a smooth horizontal non- porous base plate. Fill the mould with the prepared concrete mix in 4 approximately equal layers. Tamp each layer with 25 strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod in a uniform manner over the cross section of the mould. For the subsequent layers, the tamping should penetrate into the underlying layer. Remove the excess concrete and level the surface with a trowel. Clean away the mortar or water leaked out between the mould and the base plate. Raise the mould from the concrete immediately and slowly in vertical direction. Measure the slump as the difference between the height of the mould and that of height poin

About Dome,Pitch roof,Arches slab

Dome Slab:- These kind of slab is generally constructed in temples, Mosques, palaces etc. And Dome slab is built on conventional slab. Thickness of Dome slab is 0.15m. Domes are in semi circle and shuttering is done on conventional slab in dome shape and concrete is filled in shuttering forming dome shapes. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. PITCH ROOF SLAB: Pitch roof is an inclined slab , generally constructed on resorts for a natural look. Compared to traditional roofing materials Tile-sheets used in pitch roof slab  are extreamely lightweight. This weight saving reduces the timber or steel structural requirements resulting in significant cost savings.Tile-sheets are tailor made for each project offering labour cost savings and reduced site wastage. And the thickness of slab is depends on the tiles we using it may be 2″-8″. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. Advantages : 1. It sheds off rain water better. 2. It gives you internal storage or ro
