First assume the ratio of plaster is 1:4 (1 cement and 4 sand)

now we have to plaster the wall having area of 100 sft assume the thickness of plaster 0.5 inches.

first convert thickness in to feet so 0.5/12 = 0.0416

now to calculate the material use in cft so 100 sft x 0.0416 = 4.16 cft

so we required 4.16 cft material to complete the plaster multiply it by dry factor 1.5

4.16 x 1.5 = 6.24 cft

to calculate cement 6.24/(1+4) = 1.24 cft

1 cement bag volume 1.25 cft so calculate no of bags 1.24/1.25 = 1 bag

to calculate sand

(6.24/(1+4)) x 4 = 4.99 cft

Putty cannot be applied directly on brick walls.


How much cement is needed to plaster 50ft by 9ft wall?

To estimate the amount of cement needed for plastering a 50 ft by 9 ft wall, first calculate the wall's area, which is 450 square feet (50 ft x 9 ft). The amount of cement required depends on the thickness of the plaster and the mix ratio. Typically, a standard plaster mix requires about 1 bag (94 lbs) of cement per 100 square feet for a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Therefore, you would need approximately 4.5 bags of cement to plaster the entire wall.


How many bags of cement and sand for 270 square meters of plastering?

To calculate the amount of cement and sand needed for plastering 270 square meters, you can use a typical mix ratio, such as 1 part cement to 4 parts sand. Assuming a plaster thickness of about 12 mm, you would need approximately 1.5 cubic meters of plaster. This translates to roughly 300 kg of cement (about 6 bags of 50 kg each) and about 1.2 cubic meters of sand. Always consult a local expert for precise calculations based on specific conditions and mix ratios.
