cement plaster

Rough exterior finish

Cement plaster is a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and water applied to walls and ceilings as a durable finish.

Unlike gypsum plaster, it withstands moisture, making it suitable for exterior surfaces and wet areas like bathrooms.

The material hardens through a chemical reaction rather than simple drying: The contractor applied three coats of cement plaster to the stucco exterior.
