Our Plastering

Skimming / Finish Coat

Plaster skimming to plasterboard is a popular method of providing a smooth, seamless surface ready to receive decorative treatment.

Skim plastering gives many of the advantages of a traditional solid plaster finish such as robustness, acoustic enhancement and a quick turnaround on site.

Key benefits

• Surfaces are finished in one visit to site

• A smooth and uniform finish can be achieved in one visit to site using our Thistle plaster range

• Enhanced acoustic performance is achieved by using Thistle MultiFinish on a range of GypWall systems

• Excellent scuff resistance can be achieved through the use of ThistlePro DuraFinish

Internal Bonding

Thistle plasters have been formulated to suit a wide variety of background types including concrete, brick, blockwork, sand/cement, expanded metal lath and plasterboard. They are resilient and scuff- resistant for general purposes and are free from inherent shrinkage cracking. Due to the design flexibility of British Gypsum plaster systems, they can be tailored to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications, from office and commercial space to education, healthcare and industrial.
Thistle BondingCoat is designed for low suction backgrounds e.g. some brickwork, blockwork or concrete, Gyproc plasterboard, expanded metal lath or surfaces treated with bonding agents.
