Spanish term or phrase: enlucido de escayola
Guarnecido maestreado yeso comun y enlucido de escayola con aislante de perlita

Are these redundant? Seeing as how they both mean 'plaster'

Explanation:
enlucido de escayola es plaster skimming pero en tu contexto dice que tiene aislante de perlita, en ese caso creo entonces que se refiere a perlite plaster. Si buscas en el Kudoz Glossary vas a encontrarlo también como perli- escayola.

skim plastering


Explanation:
This is what I understand to be the translation as you put the plaster on and then skim over it to smooth off the surface.

It can also be expressed as plaster finish.

Some also call the termination "polishing off plaster."
