2. Uniform apparent structure

3. Thread the wires and cables
Moving cables and wires to another area of the house is common in retirement, such as cable television networks or air conditioning lines. Any type of electrical and hydraulic passages can be hidden with the plaster ceiling without breaking the walls or floor.
4. Decoration
Be creative and design your plaster ceiling along with the layout of the furniture. With it it is possible to create levels in the ceiling, one part deepening and the other not, one part curved and the rest left with a smooth appearance, inserting frames, surfaces, etc.
Types of plaster ceiling
1. Lowering
The lowering of the plaster is the technique that is most often used in decorating the house today. Lowering or plastering is nothing more than lowering the ceiling with a false ceiling. Its finish is smooth and the tendency is to keep it in straight lines, giving a smooth, clean, and uniform look.
2. Plaster cast
The plaster molding is an alternative lining, but only with part of the ceiling, without the need for a lowering. It works like a frame between the ceiling and the wall and can be curved or straight and the size you want.

What is the difference between plaster and drywall?
It is common for people to mistake traditional plaster of paris lining for drywall, which, although made from the same material, has significant differences in application.
The usual cleaning lining consists of 60 × 60 plates that are connected to each other with wire. When making these changes, the plaster of paris is applied with the help of a trowel to make it smooth.
The drywall is a structure made of steel profiles that are wrapped around paper and screwed. For finishing, strips of paper are used in the joints and then the mass of drywall is passed.
If it is a house with no ceilings and large spans, the ideal solution is to use the drywall. Even in apartments or in a small area, it is best to choose traditional plaster.
