Plastering

NACE v2.1 Code: F43.31

About plastering

NACE code 43.31 covers the plastering industry, which plays a crucial role in the construction and renovation of buildings. Plastering is the process of applying a mixture of lime, sand, and water to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to create a smooth, even finish. This industry is an integral part of the broader construction sector, contributing to the structural integrity, aesthetics, and thermal efficiency of buildings.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the plastering industry involve the application of plaster to surfaces using specialized tools and equipment. This typically includes the use of trowels, floats, and other hand tools to spread and smooth the plaster mixture. In some cases, mechanical spraying equipment may be used to apply the plaster more efficiently. The plaster is allowed to dry and harden, and then the surface is sanded or polished to achieve the desired finish.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the plastering industry include raw materials such as gypsum, lime, sand, and water. Specialized tools and equipment, such as trowels, floats, and spraying machines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, including plasterers and their assistants, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The main output of the plastering industry is the finished plaster surface, which is used in the construction and renovation of buildings. The plastered surfaces can be found on walls, ceilings, and other interior and exterior building components. The output of the plastering industry is often consumed by other NACE codes, such as 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 43.11 Demolition, and 43.99 Other specialised construction activities n.e.c..
