The principal objectives of plastering the surfaces are as follows:

1. To provide an even smooth, regular, clean and durable finished surface and, sometimes, to improve appearance also.

2. To preserve and protect the surfaces from atmospheric effects by acting as a protective coating.

3. To conceal the defective workmanship.

4. To cover up the use of inferior quality and porous materials and the joints formed in masonry work.

5. To provide a satisfactory base or ground for decorating the surface by applying white-washing, colour washing, painting or distempering.

6. In case of internal plastering, the basic object is to protect the surfaces against dust and vermin nuisance.
