Q11. Why use Bryko Plastering Sand?
The photo shows a typical scenario of what can happen when unwashed dirty sand with a high silt content is used to plaster a wall. This wall had to be fully stripped back down to the blockwork and re-plastered at a cost of hundreds of Euro for the customer. The builder's provider in question had to reimburse their customer and supply Bryko plastering sand to re-do the job properly. This could so easily have been prevented had the plasterer used appropriate materials. Poor quality plastering sand can also result in a myriad of building defects such as visible hairline cracking, and would be a common cause of blockwork joints being visible through a coat of plaster. Plasterers who value their trade will not use poor quality plastering sand, and will simply go to a builder's providers where they know that they are guaranteed a consistently high quality product.
