BASECOATS
USG veneer plaster systems offer the opportunity to trim days from interior finishing schedules and provide strong,
highly abrasion-resistant surfaces. These products are designed for one- or two-coat work over gypsum bases or
directly to concrete block or properly prepared monolithic concrete. Both one- or two-coat applications offer a truly
monolithic surface that is superior for critical light conditions.
Plaster products are GREENGUARD certified and qualify as low VOC emitting materials (CDPH Standard
Method V1.1, also known as CA Section 01350).
