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 ...

Waffle slab and where to use

  WAFFLE SLAB :- Waffle slab is a reinforced concrete roof or floor containing square grids with deep sides. This kind of slab is majorly used at entrance of hotels, Malls, Restaurants for good pictorial view and to install artificial lighting. This a  type of slab where we find hollow hole in the slab when the formwork is removed.  Firstly PVC trays (pods) are placed on shuttering then reinforcement is provided between the pods and steel mesh is provided at top of the pods and then concrete is filled. After concrete sets the formwork is removed and PVC pods are not removed. This forms hollow hole in it in which hole is closed at one end. The concrete waffle slab is often used for industrial and commercial buildings while wood and metal waffle slabs are used in many other construction sites. This is a one of the types of concrete slabs. Where to use? A waffle slab is a type of slab with holes underneath, giving an appearance of waffles. It is usually used where lar...

Mix design calculation for M50 grade Concert

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN EXAMPLE – M50 GRADE CONCRETE Grade Designation = M-50 Type of cement = O.P.C-43 grade Brand of cement = Standard best quality cement Admixture = Sika [Sikament 170 ( H ) ] Fine Aggregate = Zone-II Sp. Gravity Cement = 3.15 Fine Aggregate = 2.61 Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 2.65 Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 2.66 Minimum Cement (As per contract) =400 kg / m3 Maximum water cement ratio (As per contract) = 0.45 Concrete Mix Design Calculation: – 1. Target Mean Strength = 50 + ( 5 X 1.65 ) = 58.25 Mpa 2. Selection of water cement ratio: Assume water cement ratio = 0.35 3. Calculation of water content: Approximate water content for 20mm max. Size of aggregate = 180 kg /m3 (As per Table No. 5 , IS : 10262 ). As plasticizer is proposed we can reduce water content by 20%. Now water content = 180 X 0.8 = 144 kg /m3 4. Calculation of cement content: Water cement ratio = 0.35 Water content per m3 of concrete = 144 kg Cement content = 144/0.35 = 411.4 k...
