Wall alignment
Sometimes it is simply necessary to resort to leveling the walls. Various damage to the wall, "default" bumps, and other aspects can lead to an ugly design, so here you need a master's hand, as well as leveling the walls.
To align walls with beacons, they must first be leveled. For lighthouses, the most optimal would be the use of steel corners 20 by 20 by 30 by 30 or with large irregularities of 35x35 millimeters. As a rule, they check the places of curvature of the walls and glue the beacons strictly vertically, using a solution that will be used to plaster the walls. For greater reliability of fixing beacons, 5% gypsum can be added to the solution. The edge of the lighthouse is leveled or plumb. Always remember that the wider the edges of the corners, the more you will have to apply mortar to the wall. Which, of course, will affect the time of its drying. Subsequent beacons are set at a distance of 2-3 meters, this distance depends on the length of your rule. It should be noted that although the alignment of the wall along the lighthouses is not a difficult job, but still it is recommended to resort to the help of qualified specialists. The prepared mixture of plaster is evenly scattered in portions between the beacons. And then smoothed out with a rule. The rule is pulled with effort along the beacons from the bottom up. At the same time, the edge of the rule is constantly cleaned. The end side of the trowel fills the openings that remain empty. After that, they again take the rule and tighten the plaster mixture from bottom to top.
In order to obtain a more even distribution of the plaster, vigorous oscillatory movements from side to side are usually made. Without taking it away from the lighthouses. Difficult sections are again leveled with a trowel and finished with a rule.
To check the evenness of the walls, you can use the rule and look at the gap, if there are any openings between it and the wall. But there is another, more reliable, way to level the walls. To check if the wall is level, you can use the laser level. We take the laser level and set it at 45 degrees with respect to the plane of the wall. A laser line will appear on the wall, which will be strictly vertical if the wall is flat. This level reveals the unevenness of the walls. If there are bulges on the wall, then in places of curvature, the laser beam will change its direction. Moreover, if the laser beam is set at 45 degrees to the wall, then the distance from the pseudo vertical line to the laser beam line will be equal to the value of this bulge. If, on the contrary, concavities are visible on the wall,

It's all good — lasers, levels, etc. But you should not forget about materials, such as plaster. Decorative plaster is distinguished by a rich choice of textures and is an exquisite original type of finish. The stylish and attractive appearance of decorative plaster looks quite prestigious, it is not without reason that this type of finish is often used by leading designers. Important advantages of decorative plaster are harmless coatings, naturalness of the material, the walls under the plaster breathe and allow moisture to pass out. Therefore, a comfortable microclimate is always maintained inside the premises.
