minimum plaster thickness question

[jez974]

Hi,

I am plastering a small internal brick wall area and need some advice on what method to use.

I want to keep the thickness of the plaster and board to an absolute minimum so I can use the wall space for storage and have enough depth to fit in a bookcase.

Please can you advise what method I should use to finish the brick wall and minimise the final depth. the aqll is structural sound and has good insulation so its just about achieving a visually flat, smooth finish.

thank you

John

Try one coat plaster. You would get away with 10/12 mm depth. I take it there is no damp issues or condensation.

Thanks, there are no damp issues etc. So could I avoid using plasterboard at all and plaster direct onto the brick 10-12mm thick?

Yes. One coat is easy, bang it on, rule,float,sponge and flatten.

Use bonding coat pva first then lay it on like skim nice and tight rule it if you know how then skim if you know how
