    Portland Cement Plaster Over CMU

    Uploaded by

    oikono_klast
    This document provides guidelines for applying Portland cement plaster to solid masonry bases such as concrete masonry units and cast-in-place concrete walls. It specifies that substrates must be structurally sound, clean, dry and fully cured prior to plaster application. A bonding agent may be used to improve adhesion. Plaster should be applied in two coats, with specific thickness requirements depending on the substrate. Joints and accessories like expansion joints and casing beads should be installed according to structural movements. Metal lath is required if the substrate has a bond-breaking substance like form oil present.

    REVISED NOVEMBER 2012

    Portland Cement Plaster Applied To Solid Masonry Bases

    PREPARATION
    All bases should be straight and in-line with no
    variation greater than inch in ten feet
    Surfaces must be cleaned and inspected for any
    substance that will act as a bond-breaker
    Concrete masonry units must be fully grouted,
    open-textured with joints cut flush, not tooled
    Substrates should be fully cured, dry and carrying
    the design dead load prior to the application of the
    plaster
    A surface-applied bonding agent conforming to
    ASTM C932 may be used as needed to insure a
    good chemical bond and equalize suction porosity
    throughout the entire face of the masonry
    Cast-in-place concrete work: provide sufficient
    abrasion for a proper mechanical bond with the
    plaster
    o The plastering contractor must verify the
    type of bond-breaker used prior to direct
    application of plaster. Sodium silicate bond
    breakers will dissipate and can be plastered
    without lath, however, petroleum, oil or
    paraffin-based bond breakers do not
    dissipate and good bond cannot be
    guaranteed.
    Apply metal lath when form oil, paint or other bond
    breaking material is present
    Overall performance of the plaster can be expected
    to diminish when the unwarranted use of bondbreaking water-resistive barriers are incorporated
    into the lathing.

    DIRECT APPLY PLASTER APPLICATION


    Apply Portland cement plaster to CMU, cast-in-place
    concrete walls in two coats, a 1/2 minimum, 5/8 maximum,
    consisting of a 3/8 basecoat and a 1/8 finish coat for CMU
    and total thickness for concrete. A dash bond coat
    should be applied to CMU surface prior to the leveling coat
    to achieve sufficient mechanical bond. Cure times set forth
    by the IBC (International Building Code) should be followed
    prior to the application of the finish coat.

    JOINTS & ACCESSORIES


    The spacing of stress relief joints is less critical than in
    framed walls. Two-piece expansion joints or back-toback casing beads with backer rod and sealant should
    be specified where all structural joints occur in the
    masonry or concrete wall.

    60.210

    Portland cement plaster and concrete masonry share a


    great affinity. As such, the two materials work very well
    to form durable, attractive, weather-resistant walls. The
    use of a fluid applied or kraft paper weather barrier is
    usually unnecessary and not recommended. The bond
    between the masonry and the portland cement plaster
    should be maintained.

    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 60.210 - CONTINUED

    Additional joints may be required to create a stop/start


    point where long runs cannot be completed in the course
    of a typical work day. Corners should be reinforced with
    welded wire corner aids. Install expanded wing casing
    beads at all penetrations and terminations. Regular
    plaster accessories may be used provided they are
    striped with lath. . Foundation weep screeds are not
    required in masonry work.

    METAL LATH/ WIRE PLASTER BASES

    60.210

    Where conditions warrant the use of a plaster base,


    such as when form oil, paint or other bond breaking
    material is present, apply expanded metal lath, without
    paper, to the sound, masonry surface. Attach the plaster
    base with an approved fastening system providing a
    minimum fastener pullout resistance of 50-pounds/per
    fastener . Per ASTM C926, three coat plaster is required
    when plastering over a metal plaster base. However, a
    two coat proprietary system may also be used.
