multauksella

Multauksella is a Finnish term referring to the practice of applying a layer of plaster or mortar to a surface. This technique is widely used in construction and renovation for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Historically, multauksella has been employed to protect building materials from the elements, improve insulation, and create a smooth, even finish.

The materials used for multauksella can vary depending on the intended application and desired properties. Traditional Finnish methods often involved lime-based plasters, which are breathable and allow moisture to escape from walls, preventing dampness. Modern applications may utilize cement-based mortars or synthetic renders, offering greater durability and resistance to weathering.

The process of multauksella typically involves preparing the surface, mixing the plaster or mortar to the correct consistency, and then applying it in one or more layers using tools such as trowels and floats. The final layer can be finished in various ways to achieve different textures, from smooth and polished to rough and rustic. Multauksella is a versatile technique that can be applied to a range of substrates, including brick, stone, concrete, and wood. It plays a significant role in the traditional and contemporary architecture of Finland.
