Veneer Plaster Ceiling Systems consist of base sheets that are 4 feet wide and have which color face?

• A. 8 ft wide base sheets
• B. Consist of 4 ft wide gypsum plastering base sheets (blue face)
• C. Copper mesh
• D. Wire reinforcement

Answer: (B)

Veneer plaster ceiling systems use gypsum plastering base sheets that are four feet wide and have a blue face—the blue surface is the side designed to receive the veneer plaster. The blue face identifies the plastering substrate and ensures proper bonding of the veneer finish. The four-foot width matches common ceiling sheet sizes for easy handling and joint alignment; eight-foot-wide base sheets aren’t the standard for these systems. Copper mesh or wire reinforcement aren’t the base sheets themselves and don’t define the system’s facing color, so they don’t apply to what the question is asking.
