Base inspection on the agreed standard, measurement and documentation, not solely on impression visual.

What is controlled

The "Wall control with side light" process is used to obtain an even, stable surface without visible joints, burrs and weakened places.

When to check

The "Wall inspection with side light" inspection should be performed before covering the work, assembling subsequent elements, making the final payment or starting use.

Defects visible only after covering should be checked during acceptance. interstage.

Documents and conditions of receipt

Before starting, prepare: a stable and dry surface, proper ground, clean tools, selected mass and a plan for subsequent layers.

Control Tools

Typical materials and auxiliary elements: plaster or putty, joint tapes, corners and profiles, primer compatible with the system.

Typical tools and equipment: trowel and putties, slow-speed mixer, plaster sander with suction, side light lamp, patch control.

How to check

  • Establish acceptance criteria based on the contract, design, instructions and agreed standard.
  • Provide conditions for defects to be seen without artificial exaggeration or concealment.
  • Inspect the surface visually, then perform measurements and functional tests.
  • Record any discrepancies with the location, photo, meaning and expected method of repair.
  • Make a decision on acceptance, conditional acceptance or refusal for a specific scope.

Conditions for reliable reception

Carry out the "Wall inspection with side light" inspection in conditions similar to those of normal use and with lighting that allows you to assess the effect without artificially hiding or exaggerating defects.

Record the measurements along with the place, tool and conditions control.

Acceptance Criteria

The inspection should be carried out in conditions appropriate for subsequent use and before covering the work with another layer.

  • the light was moved from several directions
  • the defects are marked, not corrected accidentally
  • the inspection took place after dust removal
  • the surface is even in light control and there are no sharp transition edges

Limits of self-control

Use effective dust extraction and respiratory protection when sanding. Do not put your hands into the working mixer, and run the cables away from the wet mass and communication routes.

Common reception errors

  • assessment only with one sharp point of light
  • grinding every tiny difference without checking the plane
  • no re-checking after correction
  • working with dirty tools or material after exceeding the time working

Difficulty, time and risk of errors

Partial, conditional and final acceptance

The finish can be applied by hand, machine, sanded or wet processed. Choose your system before you start, as changing your technique mid-wall makes it difficult to achieve a uniform effect.

What to do with the check result

After receiving and removing dust from the plaster, equalize the absorbency in accordance with the painting system. Start painting only after drying and dust-generating work has been completed.
