A quick quantity check
Skimming 50 m² of walls and ceilings at about 2 mm takes around 5 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.
