Once the necessary preparatory work for the plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning, and a contractor has been hired to carry out the plastering work for the project, during this period, steel door thresholds are installed. Steel thresholds are used for fence entrances and the main building entrances exposed to the elements. It is advisable to useframe doors equipped with weatherstripping for the entrance doors, as the weatherstripping significantly helps prevent dust and dirt from entering the building. The sheet metal should be at least 1.8 mm thick, preferably 2 mm. It is recommended to contract with a specialized steelwork contractor during this phase to supply and install the iron grilles only; contracts for doors and other steelwork should be awarded at a later stage of the project.<\/p>\n
Wooden door frames are not installed during this period to prevent them from being affected by spray water and to ensure they are properly attached to the subfloor from below before the floor tiles are laid; the \u00abwooden door frames\u00bb are installed in later stages of the project, after the floor tiles have been laid and the ceiling and walls have been primed.<\/p>\n
The plastering contractor then begins work on-site, starting with the roof\u2014the highest point of the building\u2014followed by the first floor, then the ground floor, and the basement, if any. Once the interior plastering is complete, the facades and walls are plastered. If \u00abplywood\u00bb was used during the structural framework phase, , the concrete surfaces will have a smooth texture. It is recommended to roughen these concrete surfaces before beginning the plastering work by blasting them with sand using an air compressor. This makes the columns and other concrete parts \u00abrough,\u00bb allowing the plaster to adhere well during application. It is recommended to hire a contractor specializing in this work to perform the \u00absandblasting\u00bb at a flat rate or per square meter, Note that applying the plaster directly to smooth concrete surfaces without roughening them first exposes the plaster to future peeling. If you plan to install suspended ceilings (such as drywall or similar materials), there is no need to sand the surfaces, as we will not be applying a plaster finish to them\u2014they will be covered with drywall.<\/p>\n
The plastering contractor must be instructed to clean the walls and remove all wood debris, cement bags (if any), and other debris, and to seal all openings in the walls using a cement mixture. Once all openings have been sealed, it is recommended to inspect the work and verify that it meets requirements. Next, install the galvanized steel mesh and corner beads. The metal mesh is installed where the blocks meet the columns, The mesh and corners must be installed perfectly, and it is important to inspect and approve this stage before proceeding with the plastering work.<\/p>\n
During this phase, it is recommended to secure the amount of cement required by the project to complete the interior plastering work, which is typically estimated in the hundreds depending on the size of the project.<\/p>\n
\u00abTartasha\u00bb\u2014also known as the mortar mix\u2014is applied to all surfaces that will be plastered, such as ceilings and walls. The tartasha mix consists of cement, white sand, and sand specifically intended for tartasha, which are mixed in approved proportions until the mixture becomes sticky like \u00abyogurt\u00bb and has a thick consistency. It is recommended to add certain chemical additives that enhance the tartasha\u2019s adhesion to the blocks and concrete surfaces. These chemical additives are extremely important and must be used when the blocks used in the project are red bricks or a type of aerated concrete product (white blocks).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
