Ever been part of building a house or even renovating one? You know it’s not easy, and there is no shortage of advice. 

“Apply putty!” 

“No, primer first!” 

“Use waterproofing!” 

“Don’t forget cement plaster!” 

After a point, it all starts sounding the same. Too many materials, too many steps, too many opinions. Anyone can go crazy trying to understand what goes where and why. However, the actual truth is every product has its own significance. Nothing in the wall-construction cycle is useless. Once you understand the order in which things are meant to be applied, it all starts making sense. Here’s a simple way to understand it.  

  • Cementitious Plaster: It levels the walls and gives a strong base. 
  • Wall Putty: It smoothens the surface and covers the marks. 
  • Primer: It helps paint bond better to the surface and enhances the topcoat of the paint. 
  • Paint: This is the final colour applied to your walls to make them look beautiful. 

Now that you know the order, let’s talk about the foundation of all smooth walls. The plaster layer is used to give a strong base for the walls. It creates a structural leveling base for rough walls. To have the perfect foundation for your new home walls, use high-quality options like Birla White Levelplast. It is a white cement-based ready-mix cementitious plaster that makes construction easier, cleaner, faster, and more reliable. 

Why Plaster Matters More Than You Think 

When people hear “plaster,” they often confuse it with plaster of paris. Both have different uses. For example, many homeowners ask: Can you give two uses for Plaster of Paris? Yes, plaster of paris is mainly used for false ceilings and decorative areas. However, for creating strong, smooth, long-lasting walls, white cement-based plaster is the real catch. 

What Is Cement Plaster Used For?

Cement plaster is used to level the surface and fill undulations. It then creates a firm and uniform base for the application of putty, primer, and paint. This is the step that decides whether your wall will turn out truly smooth or remain wavy even after painting. 

Birla White Levelplast is designed to give walls the perfect start. Whether you are doing ceiling and plastering, or surface preparation, Levelplast delivers consistent finishes. Here are some key features that will help your walls achieve the perfect base. 

  • Curing-Free: No need for days of water curing. This helps to reduce labour effort and time 
  • Best Compressive Strength: Gives walls a long-lasting base. 
  • High Water Resistance: If you are wondering, which plaster is water resistant? Levelplast stands out with strong moisture protection, which is ideal for Indian weather. 
  • Plaster Thickness up to 25mm: Handle uneven walls easily without cracking. 
  • White Cement-Based: Provides superior adhesion and a strong base for smoother putty and paint finishes. 

How to Apply Levelplast? 

Follow these simple instructions to get smooth walls. 

Clean the surface using a chisel, wire brush, or emery stone, then wash with clean water. 

Pre-wet the wall before starting the application. 

Add water as required: 

  • 1st coat (2–4 mm): 25% water 
  • 2nd coat (5–8 mm): 22% water 
  • 3rd coat (9–12 mm): 20% water 
  • Final finish (1–2 mm): 25% water 

Mix Levelplast with a mechanical stirrer for 5–7 minutes until smooth. 

Repair cracks and joints using the same mix. 

Apply coats as per thickness: 

  • 1st coat: 2–4 mm 
  • 2nd coat: 2–4 mm (for 10 mm) / 5–8 mm (for 25 mm) 
  • 3rd coat: 1–2 mm (for 10 mm) / 9–12 mm (for 25 mm) 

Sand lightly with No. 320 emery paper after the final coat dries. 

Finish with 1–2 coats of putty to prepare the wall for primer and paint. 

Another common question that arises is: How long does Plaster of Paris last? POP is not long-lasting for levelling walls. Meanwhile, cementitious plaster like Birla White Levelplast gives a durable foundation for many years. Once your plaster layer is perfect, every layer above automatically looks better. 

Construction should not feel overwhelming. Understanding the role of each material makes decision-making easy. So, when it comes to achieving a truly smooth, strong and uniform wall finish, Levelplast ready-mix white cement plaster is one of the smartest choices.
