    Sand Face Plaster is a layer of cement sand mortar applied on the brickwork which also works as a damp proof coat. This plaster is used as a final touch for surfaces like walls and ceilings. Up to some point, it works as a sound and thermal insulation. The first coat is sand-surfaced cement plaster is applied in a 1:4 cement mortar ratio with coarse sand. Then it is left for 7 days to dry and then the 2nd coat is applied in 1:3 cement plaster ratio on the first coat. In the second coating, the sponge is applied on its wet surface and should be well-watered for at least 15 days.

    It is much commonly as purpose water-proofing used for terrace surface because of stone and glass chips set inside it. These look very attractive and unique finish. But because of weathering in 3 to 5 yrs, the joints between stones and glass chips begin to expand.

    Distribution reinforcement is given to deal with shrinkage stress and temperature effects. After pouring of cement, at the time of curing, concrete will contract since the water in the concrete gets used for hydration. As the slab is inflexibly fixed at the ends, this shrinkage will be limited by the support, which will prompt liable tensile stress in the slab. As the concrete is weak in tension, to take care of these tensile force distribution, reinforcement is given. The same thing will occur in temperature variation too. As the temperature falls, the slab will attempt to contract.
