Using the correct type of damp proof plaster can also reduce the chances of mould growth and condensation as a result of raising the temperature of the wall.
If the temperature of the wall is raised to a substantial level warm moist air cannot condense onto a cold surface. Damp proof plastering is specifically designed to be more breathable and porous which means it is can dry much faster than regular plaster.
The most common reason for damp proof plastering to be used is for the protection against salt contamination. Once you have had a damp proof course installed and the wall is protected from rising damp then it is important that the right type of plaster is used to prevent salts from migrating onto the wall.
Traditional plasters are not good at preventing salt contamination from appearing on the surface of the wall which is why it might be worthwhile considering using a damp proof plaster to provide extra protection against rising dampness in future.
