Effectively securing objects to surfaces constructed of lime-based or gypsum-based interior wall finishes requires specialized techniques and hardware. Plaster, unlike drywall, can be brittle and prone to crumbling if improper methods are employed. Therefore, understanding the unique characteristics of this wall type is paramount for successful mounting.
Proper execution prevents damage to the integrity of the wall, maintains aesthetic appeal, and ensures the long-term stability of the hung object. Historically, securing items to this surface presented challenges, often requiring skilled tradespeople. Modern solutions, however, offer a range of accessible options for secure and less intrusive installation, increasing the longevity of the structure.
