The disadvantages of using gypsum in decoration mainly include the following:
Gypsum has a low hardness and is easily damaged by external impacts, so care needs to be taken to avoid collisions during use.
Gypsum has poor water resistance and is prone to moisture, deformation and shedding, so it is not suitable for places that have been exposed to water for a long time, such as toilets, bathrooms, etc.
The construction of gypsum is difficult and requires professional skills and experience, otherwise it is prone to problems such as cracking and falling off.
Gypsum takes a long time to dry and needs to wait for it to dry completely before proceeding to the next step of construction, which may affect the construction progress.
Gypsum has high requirements for the treatment of the base layer, and if the base is not treated properly, it is easy to cause problems such as gypsum falling off and cracking.
Gypsum has a variety of applications in decoration and construction, mainly for the following places and situations:
interior walls and ceilings: Gypsum can be used for plastering, leveling and decoration of interior walls and ceilings. It can provide good smoothness and aesthetics, and it has a certain sound and heat insulation effect.
Make plaster moldings and decorative elementsGypsum has good plasticity and can be used to make various decorative elements such as decorative lines, corner lines, floral decorations, etc., adding beauty and artistic sense to interior decoration.
Model making: Plaster is widely used in model making, especially in the ceramic industry. It can be used as the main raw material for models and is used to make models of various shapes.
Fixing and supporting structures: Plaster cast also has important applications in the fixation of fractures and soft tissue injuries, the prevention of deformities, the correction of deformities, and the immobilization of limbs and joints.
Construction industry: Gypsum is used as a common building material in the construction industry and can be used to make ceilings, wall panels, partition walls, etc. In addition, gypsum can also be used to make high-strength gypsum bricks.
It should be noted that gypsum has poor water resistance, so it is not suitable for places with long-term contact with water, such as toilets, bathrooms, etc. When using plaster material in these places, additional waterproofing measures need to be taken.
In general, gypsum has a variety of applications in decoration and construction, but when using it, it is necessary to choose the appropriate gypsum material and construction method according to the specific situation, and pay attention to its restrictions such as water resistance.
While plaster has a variety of advantages in renovation, there are also some drawbacks to be aware of. In the process of use, it is necessary to choose the appropriate gypsum material and construction method according to the actual situation, and pay attention to factors such as base treatment and construction environment to ensure the quality and effect of construction.
