When carrying out work on finishing the walls of the house, specialists use special plaster foundations that create a certain texture. One of the most popular bases is decorative bricks. Its name is due to the fact that it imparts to the surface of the wall the effect of wood damaged by woodworm bugs. More details about the features of this textured plaster we will describe below.
Mixture composition
Decorative plaster is a granular mixture, prepared on the basis of a filler and a binder. As filler, small pebble granules on the basis of granite, quartz or marble chips act. Depending on the size of the pellets (range 0.1 - 3.5 mm), the width and depth of the grooves resulting from plastering depends. Plus, all kinds of additives (preservatives, thickeners and hydrophobic substances) are added to the mixture. Mandatory plaster components are: copolymer synthetic dispersions, titanium dioxide and full-face paints FEIDAL Volloton and Abtoenfarbe.
When choosing the material, the original grain size must be taken into account. The material with a pellet size of 2.5 mm has a lower flow rate than that of a material with pellets of 3.3 mm in diameter.
In addition, it is important to choose the type of mixture - ready to eat or dry. The finished mixture, of course, is more convenient for application, but its price is higher. It consists of additional synthetic fillers (silicone, acrylic), providing plasticity of the plaster. The dry mix costs a little less, but requires full compliance with the written cooking instructions.

Decorating walls with decorative plaster Bark beetle
This textured plaster is used for finishing gypsum plasterboard, brick, concrete surfaces, sandwich panels, fibrous boards and chipboard. When exterior works, concrete and plaster bases do not need to be primed, which greatly simplifies the work.
When decorating the walls, the direction of the arms movement is very important. Smooth movements from the bottom up or from the top down will create a vertical interrupting pattern, circular movements of the hands - a circular pattern, motion at an inclination - a pattern of "oblique rain".
After plastering the walls, it is possible to additionally paint with a special paint that does not flow into the recesses of the relief. Experienced designers apply the paint by tamponing, which allows you to shade some parts of the wall and get a blurry picture. These methods allow you to emphasize the original texture of the plaster and emphasize the unique design of the room.

Specialists in the decoration of premises distinguish several important points that help when applying the composition:
- use water at a temperature of 15 - 20 degrees;
- mix the mixture with a drill with a special nozzle or a construction mixer;
- keep pauses between mixes (this is necessary for ripening the mixture);
- the finished plaster must be applied within an hour after preparation;
- do not add water during operation;
- forming the texture of the wall, the movements should be light and sliding;
- work in gloves.
