The use of plasterboard is generally associated with renovation (old buildings and flats) or the restoration of historic monuments (castles, museums, churches, etc.), but it can also be used for a wide range of works that are difficult to achieve using other materials.

A skill that was perfected centuries ago, stair builders are now much rarer. Now back in fashion, this type of staircase combines aesthetics with adaptability. It also allows you to use different types of material (wood, waxed concrete, stone, marble, etc.). For more information and photos, please visit our instagram page. The Saracen vault staircase has a strong place there.

Shaping on site This technique consists of creating specific shapes with plaster using a system of gauges directly on site, without using a moulding system. This technique is regularly used for renovation work, but can also be used for unusual new projects. [Image : Hand mixing white plaster by hand in a large container brassage matiere a la main]
