Safety and quality in stucco work

Plastering often takes place at height, on scaffolding or ladders, and with dusty materials. Therefore, good safety and a healthy working environment are part of the trade on par with craftsmanship.

§Work at height

Ceilings and facades mean you often work high up. Use a stable scaffold or a safe ladder, ensure good footing and keep the work site tidy so you don't trip on tools or materials. Falls are one of the biggest risks in construction, and this applies here too.

§Dust and airways

When you mix sand plaster and lime you release dust. Protect your airways with respiratory protection where necessary ensure ventilation and use eye protection so you don't get material in your eyes. These are considerations that pay off over an entire working life.

§Skin and eyes

Fresh mixtures can dry out or irritate the skin. Use gloves where it makes sense, and rinse immediately if you get material in your eyes. Take it seriously, even if it seems harmless at the moment.

§Quality that lasts

Quality in stucco work is about more than a pretty result right after installation. The piece must be secure, the joints must be invisible, and the profile must match the rest of the room. In restoration, the most important thing is that the new matches the old so the repair is not visible.

“A good piece of work is both safely executed and beautifully finished. One does not make the other unnecessary.”
