Plastering

Jamaican man, dressed in worn denim overalls and a faded tank top, intently applies plaster to a weathered wall, his dark skin glistening with sweat in the bright Caribbean sunlight. The camera captures the scene in a cinematic film still, reminiscent of the works of renowned cinematographers such as Emmanuel Lubezki

Plastering is a way of covering walls and ceilings with a smooth, protective layer to make them strong and nice to look at. In Jamaica, plastering is important because it helps keep walls safe from rain, heat, and moisture, which can damage buildings. Workers mix materials like cement, sand, and water to make plaster, then spread it over the surface of walls or ceilings. This creates a layer that stops things like mold and cracks from forming. In real estate, which is all about buying and selling houses and buildings, plastering makes homes look clean and finished, so they’re more appealing to buyers. Around the world, people use plastering for different reasons, like decorating walls or making buildings stronger. From cozy homes in Jamaica to tall buildings in big cities, plastering is used to protect and beautify walls, keeping them strong and smooth for a long time.
