Plaster is a building material made from a mixture of gypsum, lime, or cement, combined with water to create a paste that hardens when applied to surfaces, typically for interior walls and ceilings. Cement, on the other hand, is a fine powder made from a mixture of minerals, primarily limestone and clay, which, when mixed with water, forms a strong binding agent used in concrete and mortar for construction. Both materials are essential in construction and finishing processes, but they serve different purposes and have distinct properties. While plaster is often used for decorative finishes, cement is primarily used for structural applications.

Can you plaster over cement ceiling?

Yes, you can plaster over a cement ceiling by applying a layer of plaster directly onto the surface. However, it is essential to ensure that the ceiling is clean, free of any loose particles, and properly prepared before applying the plaster to ensure adhesion and a smooth finish. Additionally, using a bonding agent designed for this purpose can help improve the bond between the cement ceiling and the plaster.
