1. Fiber lath for exterior plaster and fiber 6mm admixture

2. Metal corner reinforcement: expanded large mesh diamond lath
fabricated from welded wire mesh from 1.2mm diameter galvanized
wire, specially formed to reinforce corners of Portland cement plaster
where exposed while allowing full plaster encasement.
3. Expanded Metal Lath: Galvanized steel diamond mesh comply with
ASTM C 847-95 & shall have minimum weight of 1.85kg/m².
5.3Preparation:
 Assure that all materials used are from approved sources
 mixing will be done mechanical
 Check that all embedded pipes for mechanical and electrical work are
tested and inspected.
 Check that all opening frame or sub frame installed as approved shop drawing.
 Clean the surface of walls and concrete from any dust or contaminated materials
 Sprinkle water on wall least one hour prior to starting spatter dash coat
 Assure that all safety measures are according to the approved safety plan.
 A preparatory meeting should be held in site prior the commencement of works

5.4.1 Application of external cement plastering:
.
 Apply force fully dash coat (450 kg ordinary Portland cement to 1m³ sand) manual on surface
indicated for plaster application, spatter dash coat is to cover full surface and provide
rough surface, spatter dash coat thickness to be approximately 4- 5mm.
 Spatter dash to be cured by spraying water not curing compound for three days to be
2
continuously wet.
 Bonding agent to be used with spatter dash for smooth surfaces as approved material.
 start applying dots to produce plaster surface level and true, Dots shall be plumb
of 50x100mm dimension and thickness not less 15mm made of cement mortar
 Damp the complete area of spatter dash by spraying water then apply one coat instead
with thickness 15mm to 30mm with mixing ratios (250kg ordinary Portland
cement to 1m3 sand) for external plaster.
 Dotes from cement shall be removed and filled with plaster mix.
 All faces shall be true and flat and angle shall be straight, level and plumb.
 Grove will 1 cm * 1 cm be made in the connection with mortar angle and end of plaster of
parapet to put end of membrane in it
