Smoothing the walls and ceilings is important for a smooth room finish. The typical sand-cement plaster is still the most common type, but the advantages offered by gypsum make Knauf gypsum plaster increasingly popular for use.
Gypsum is a grey-white soft compound containing hydrated calcium sulfate and is widely used in lightweight construction. Gypsum is ecological. Architects and interior designers prefer gypsum today because it is easy to work with and time-saving. It has many advantages that gypsum offers over traditional plaster.
Knauf gypsum plasters are known to regulate moisture and have a positive impact on the indoor climate. The product Knauf MP 75 SL is suitable for any type of masonry, application on concrete, and for use on stable plaster substrates intended for interior wall or ceiling plastering.
Advantages of Knauf Gypsum Plaster
Knauf MP 75 SL machine plaster has many advantages, making it a preferred construction mixture. It is super lightweight in its composition and is intended for application using a special machine.
Saves Construction Time
Sand-cement plaster requires 21 days of curing. This period allows it to harden and set. During these 21 days, the plaster is heavily sprayed with water and allowed to set. Any work on or above the wall should be delayed by 21 days. Knauf gypsum plaster does not require such a long waiting period because it dries and sets in 3 days, making the construction process faster. Time for construction is saved multiple times.
Knauf MP 75 SL is More Environmentally Friendly Plaster
The sand needed for sand-cement plaster comes from riverbeds and is not very environmentally sustainable. Gypsum is a natural substance deposited by lake and sea water and is found in thick and extensive layers alongside rock formations. Since this material is continuously deposited, it is ecological.
Gypsum can also be synthetically synthesized and has applications in various industries, such as medicine, agriculture, and more. This is a safe substance with low health risks. For this reason, using Knauf machine plaster at a reasonable price is a better option than other cement-based products.
Requires Less Water
Gypsum plasters like Knauf's do not require wet curing, which saves a lot of water along with drying time. In times like the present, it is crucial to reduce water consumption, not to mention waste. Knauf gypsum plaster uses less water and is, therefore, an ideal choice.
Eliminates Shrinkage Cracks
Sand-cement plaster eventually forms shrinkage cracks that appear after it dries completely. The chance of shrinkage cracks is eliminated with gypsum plaster because gypsum hardens to a fine finish that is smooth enough for painting.
Easy Application
Unlike sand-cement plaster, which requires the sieving of sand, gypsum plaster only needs to be mixed with water to achieve the desired consistency and is ready for use. Gypsum-based plaster is easy to clean from the floor if it falls, unlike sand-cement mixes, which are difficult to remove. With affordable Knauf MP 75 SL machine gypsum plaster, wall and ceiling designs can be easily achieved. Gypsum can be easily used in combination with aluminum frames to create desired shapes.
Lighter Construction
Gypsum is much lighter than sand-cement plaster, offering more durability when used in suspended ceilings and other cantilevered structures. The lighter weight of the frames makes them more robust and long-lasting, providing better protection even in the case of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Gypsum is fire-resistant, non-combustible, as it contains a lot of water and is a safe material for covering the interior walls and ceilings of your home.
Improved Thermal Insulation
Knauf MP 75 SL offers good heat insulation, meaning energy savings for maintaining room temperature. Gypsum plaster can help save on electricity and heating costs in the home since it provides better thermal insulation compared to conventional types of plaster.
Enhanced Acoustics
Gypsum wall and ceiling coverings offer better acoustics in your home, resulting in less echo in the room and reduced impact from external sounds. This is because gypsum has a high sound absorption index, and most sound-insulated spaces use walls enclosed with gypsum panels to reduce external noise and improve acoustics. Knauf gypsum plaster provides perfect sound insulation.
After covering all these advantages of Knauf machine gypsum plaster, you can order it at a reasonable price from ATEK 1 and transform your home or office into a warm, cozy, sound-insulated, and protected space.
