Decorative stone made of gypsum is quite durable and also has soundproofing properties. It is good for use at home, because it is also famous for its thermal insulation.
Technology for creating decorative stone from gypsum
You need to take certain forms made of polyurethane or silicone, which are sold in construction stores. The inside of the form must be treated with an active substance, onto which paint of the desired color is applied. Next, you should prepare the gypsum solution directly. What is the composition of decorative gypsum stone? It includes two mixtures: liquid and dry. Liquid consists of water, dye and retarder. The second is filler and gypsum. In the process of making artificial stone, these mixtures must be combined, thoroughly mixed and poured into molds. After half an hour, the gypsum stone can be removed outside and allowed to gain strength at room temperature.
Such material must be attached to the walls using a cement-adhesive mortar, having previously treated them with a primer. An important practical point is that in order for decorative plaster to last as long as possible, it must be treated on top with a special protective compound. For example, such a coating can become indispensable in rooms with high humidity.
