Figure 2: Assignment of render base and render system. For stable render base the rendering rule "soft on hard" applies, for less stable render base a flexible, crack-resistant render system is required.
In the course of time, new tasks have emerged from the original task of plastering, which must be taken into account when producing exterior plasters.
