How to distinguish quality plaster from counterfeit

Plastering work is one of the most troublesome parts in the process of any repair. In order to properly align the walls and ceiling, you will need a large number of building mixtures. Unfortunately, upon completion of repairs, it is often discovered that the plaster is crumbling or tile is falling out. Many owners immediately write off all the shortcomings that have arisen to poorly performed work. However, everything is not as straightforward as it might seem at first glance.

Nowadays, the spread of fake building materials is not uncommon. The probability of getting such a product is especially high if the main goal in the procurement process is cost savings.

Plaster in the issue of counterfeiting is no exception. To the extent that this product can be called "mass consumption", it is of particular interest to artisanal producers. In addition to the fact that plaster is widely popular, its production does not require special conditions. There will be enough raw materials, facilities, tools and containers.

In order for the money spent on plaster not to be thrown away in vain, we recommend paying attention to some signs. They will accurately testify to the true origin of the product and help prevent mistakes.

First of all, pay attention to the packaging. Most often, large manufacturers for the packaging of building mixtures use bags of multilayer paper. Product packaging should be labeled with the manufacturer's colors, as well as clearly written.

To the extent that imported brands of stucco very often suffer from counterfeit products, their manufacturers often apply various holograms, labels and thermograms to the packaging.

It is best to buy plaster from an authorized dealer. As a rule, the addresses of the manufacturer’s representative offices are indicated on its official website.

Any factory-made plaster necessarily has on its container such data as the expiration date and production date. By the way, it is not recommended to make a purchase of stitched goods. It can greatly differ in its qualities from those that normal material possesses.

To have accurate confidence that you are buying high-quality plaster, and not counterfeit, it will not be superfluous to require a seller's quality certificate or certificate of conformity for the goods. By checking the series and lot number in the document and on the packaging, you can verify that the plaster you are purchasing is of high quality.
