Today the
Gypsum Wall Board (drywall, sheetrock) is most commonly used on interiors.
Wall board became popular in the 60's and has introduced a Veneer plaster
wall system.
Veneer gypsum
board over stud framing and Tape board joints with base and Fiber reinforced
mesh, then apply a plaster veneer in two coats to a thickness of 1/8".
First coat 1/16" scratch and double back as soon as the first coat
sets. The scratch will set by time you get to the end of the wall, depending
on ambient temperatures.

Prior
to the 60's the Plaster used wood lath
Prior to sheetrock construction wood lath was used as the form of attachment
to a stud wall. The wood lath was nailed or stapled across the wall or ceiling
studs leaving a ¼ inch gap between the lath. The Plasterer would
apply gypsum plaster over wood lath and key into the ¼" gaps
during the scratch coat (first coat) 3/8". The Brown Coat (second coat)
the leveling coat 3/8" The Finish coat over the Brown Coat to complete
the Plaster wall system.
The wood
lath system is not being used today. The expanded metal lath has replaced
the old wood lath inside homes today that requires the plaster to add
depth and intricate plaster detail as a part of the interior design
