Woodworm like structure plaster is a popular type of decorative finishing that gets its name from the characteristic texture resembling the tunnels made by bark beetles in wood. Bark plaster is used for both interior and exterior work, allowing for the creation of a unique and relief-like surface appearance, adding sophistication and originality to any room or facade.
The main component of "Bark" plaster consists of mineral or polymer materials, which include quartz sand or marble chips. These granules create the textured grooves upon application, giving the plaster its characteristic appearance.
One of the features of "Bark" plaster is its texture. After applying the plaster to the surface, a characteristic pattern is formed using a trowel. The direction of movement can be vertical, horizontal, circular, or diagonal. The relief is created by the granules—marble or quartz chips—that move under the trowel and leave grooves on the surface.
Another advantage is its ease of application. Bark plaster is simple to use, allowing even beginners to achieve a professional look. The main steps include preparing the substrate, applying a base coat, and finishing with a special tool that shapes the relief.
"Bark" is a durable material, but to enhance its longevity, especially in conditions of high humidity or on building facades, it is recommended to use additional protective layers, such as paint or varnish, which not only provide an aesthetic appearance but also strengthen protective properties. This type of plaster is suitable for various surfaces, including concrete, brick, and drywall, making it a versatile solution for residential and commercial spaces.
Bark plaster is easy to clean from dirt, making it convenient for use on facades and interiors. To clean it, simply use plain water or a mild soapy solution. For outdoor applications, pressure washers can be used to keep the walls looking clean.
Bark plaster is available in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing you to choose the perfect option for any interior or facade.
