Plastering calculation with the amount of materials per sqm or sq ft. Wall plaster estimations, with important aspects to take into account to obtain the best results.

The amount of materials will depend on different aspects, such as:

Type of plaster used (cement sand ratio for plastering).
Characteristics of the material(s) used.
Type of wall (bricks, blocks, concrete).
Thickness of the plaster layer
Type of wall substrate.

If the material to make plastering mortar is already pre-made, you must read and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. If not, use the following plaster formulas.

Plastering Quantity Calculation in sqm for Wall Finishes

If the mortar is going to be made in the traditional way, on site, (with cement, sand, lime hydrate, etc.), then there are many possible combinations or mix ratios to use.

Define Plastering Thickness and Mix Ratio

The mason’s skill level will influence the amount of materials used. This may use different application methods, in correspondence with the desired final finish, using specific plastering ratios of cement and sand calculations.

Plastering Calculation in sqm (Wall Plaster)

The plasters on exterior walls must have a higher proportion of cement and lime hydrate in their mixture, thus guaranteeing greater resistance and plasticity in the face of changes in temperature and humidity in the external environment.

It must also be said that in matters of masonry mortar mix ratios, and especially mortars for plastering, there is a diversity of proportions.

The different mix ratios can be different since each foreman has his own “experience”, each site has a characteristic climate, and each region has soils (sand) for the preparation of the mortar, with its own characteristics and physical-chemical properties.
