What mix of select ↑
This question often asked before the repair. A huge selection, but market leaders are the manufacturers and VOLMA, Knauf. Buy the the mixture. Let’s look at the differences.
When you skim coat Knauf Rotman the wall surface turns rough to glue Wallpaper requires additional processing. VOLMA-layer has a smooth glossy surface and does not require additional processing. Most importantly – allow the plaster to dry thoroughly – this takes 4-8 days – and you can safely hang Wallpaper or lay tile.
There are no fundamental differences, since both companies use the raw material from the same gypsum quarries. The difference in the composition of the mixture. So, if gypsum plaster Ramban uses the classic recipe, which affects the drying and ease of operation – Knauf dry longer and work with it a little more difficult – that VOLMA have developed our own recipe. Mixtures VOLMA includes organic harmless chemical compounds, providing a quick drying surface and easy processing.
After applying the plaster with Valmai much easier to work on the final stage – glossing, coating finishing solution, in contrast to Knauf to work harder and longer.

Reviews about plaster VOLMA: ↑
Andrew, 40, Builder
Work with Valmai for a long time. Only positive reviews. Plaster is applied very easily, has long battery life, but on the wall freezes quickly. The term drying is acceptable -5-8 days. From other manufacturers it is much more. Even with a layer of 5 cm, VOLMA perfectly on the wall and rests under the Wallpaper. Recommend for finishing work.
Maria, 35, housewife
Did her husband repairs. Neither he nor I – we are not professionals. On the advice of friends bought VOLMA-sloy. Work was easy, even to us newcomers. Plaster goes on the wall easily, then easily distributed over the wall. And after drying so smooth that we did not even treating the wall with something else and immediately hung Wallpaper. No bumps, no hollows, Wallpapers nowhere bristling not far behind. Thanks to my friends that advised us Volu!
