Word origin

The term 'plastering' originates from the Middle English word 'plastre' which itself comes from the Old French 'plastre', derived from the Latin 'plastrum', meaning 'to smear or spread'. This is closely associated with the act of applying a paste-like substance to a surface for protection or decoration. The techniques of plastering have been utilized since antiquity, where ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks used various kinds of mortars and plasters to finish their architectural work. Over the centuries, the materials and methods evolved, with the development of lime and gypsum plasters in the Renaissance period leading to modern plastering techniques. Today, plastering is considered a vital skill in construction, impacting the durability and aesthetic appeal of buildings.
