Quantities: a worked example

Skimming 30 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 3 bags of 25 kg finishing plaster, plus angle beads for external corners. Coverage varies with the background, so allow a spare bag.

Choosing plaster

Fresh stock matters

Old plaster sets fast and unevenly. Order it close to when you need it and keep bags dry.

Undercoat for the background

Hardwall suits high-suction backgrounds like brick and block; bonding suits low-suction backgrounds like concrete or painted surfaces.
