This chapter covers the basic materials for quality plaster wall and ceiling installations. Proper use of plaster bases with plasters provides a secure bond that is essential to surface strength and resistance to abuse and cracking. Steel framing members offer the advantages of light weight, low material cost, quick erection and superior strength and versatility in meeting job requirements. Corner beads should be used on all external plaster corners to provide protection, true and straight corners, and grounds for plastering. Casing beads are used as plaster stops around wall openings and where plaster intersects with other finishes. USG plasters are specifically formulated to control setting time and other important characteristics. Conventional plaster walls are finished with gauging plasters and finishing limes or with prepared finishes. USG provides a range of products with a variety of characteristics to meet different performance requirements.
