Cracks and Hollow Walls Keep Coming Back? Full Guide to Gypsum Plaster Quality Control

 Gypsum plaster is a key step in interior finishing. Problems such as cracks, hollow spots, and peeling usually result from poor quality control during construction. To prevent these issues, strict control is needed throughout the entire process — from substrate preparation to final acceptance.

1. Substrate Preparation

  • Inspection & Cleaning: Ensure structural work is complete, remove dust, nails, and debris, and fill wall tie holes and conduits.

  • Bonding Agent: Spray evenly (≤30cm distance) in a cross pattern, covering all corners and edges.

  • Anti-crack Mesh: Apply alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh (≥25cm wide) at material junctions and pipe grooves.

2. Control with Reference Points

  • Baseline Positioning: Use laser or infrared lines to control verticality and flatness.

  • Plaster Dabs: Place dabs at corners and door/window openings, aligned vertically.

  • Guide Strips: Set gypsum guide strips every 1.5–3m as leveling benchmarks.

3. Plaster Application

  • Mixing: Stir for 3–5 minutes; use within 1 hour; never re-add water.

  • Thickness Control: Apply 4–15mm per layer; too thin → powdering, too thick → cracking.

  • Leveling: Use aluminum straightedge or H-rod; flatness tolerance ≤4mm (≤3mm for fine finish).

4. Curing & Acceptance

  • Environment: Temperature ≥2℃ in winter; avoid direct sunlight in summer; moisture content ≤10% before next step.

  • Repair & Check: Fix hollows and cracks promptly; final inspection as per Building Decoration Quality Acceptance Standards.

👉 Conclusion: To achieve crack-free and durable gypsum plaster, it is essential to follow the complete process of substrate preparation → leveling → layer application → curing & inspection.

Why Does Mortar Fail to Bond Well? Causes and Effective Solutions

 In masonry construction, poor mortar bonding is a common pain point that leads to reduced wall strength, hollow joints, cracks, and even water leakage. So, why does mortar often fail to bond with bricks, and how can it be prevented? 1. Common Causes Low Mortar Strength Grade Using low-grade or pure cement mortar results in poor workability, making it hard to compact. This often causes voids in mortar joints, leading to insufficient bonding. Early Mortar Dehydration Bricks absorb water too quickly, causing the mortar to lose moisture and bond strength. Dust on the brick surface further reduces adhesion. Improper Construction Methods With the bedding method, if mortar is spread too long in advance, its water is absorbed prematurely, and bonding is lost. Excessive Joint Recession In fair-faced brickwork, workers sometimes leave large recessed joints (over 20mm) to skip joint finishing, reducing mortar fullness and increasing later jointing work. 2. Preventive Measur...
