Join date: Jun 2013 | Stucco I believe is a much better alternative - made primarily of lime, sand and water. Looks similar and is cheaper that Portland concrete. Not sure what it might be called in India. Hope this helps. Try searching google images with these words: "stucco wall exterior" | | |

Benefits to builders / developers:for gypsum plaster
1. Green material
2. Shrinkage crack free surfaces - smooth finish
3. High productivity – faster work (Reducing plastering time by 70% when
compared to conventional Sand cement plaster + POP method) so time
saving
4. Performance – Durability, light weight (Reduces dead load on structure)
5. Cleaner sites - direct application bagged product – requires no water curing
Benefits to the end customer:
1. No shrinkage cracks on walls and ceilings
2. Reduction in the time required for plastering and this helps in timely possession of homes
3. Perfectly lined, leveled, smooth walls
4. Saving on electricity used for air conditioning as gypsum has very low thermal conductivity | | |
