A finish coat for low to high suction backgrounds for wall locations comprising of 2mm ThistlePro FastSet Finish.

When working on plastering projects, it's essential to select the right finish coat, especially for various suction backgrounds. The PL0061 specification recommends using the ThistlePro FastSet Finish, a versatile option designed for both low and high suction surfaces. This product, applied in a 2mm thickness, ensures a durable and smooth finish ideal for wall locations.

Before applying the skim coat, it's crucial to engage with the design team or contractor to discuss the desired quality of the finish. This collaboration helps define important factors like smoothness, flatness, and design considerations. It’s especially important to consider how the plaster finish will interact with lighting in the space, as this can significantly affect the overall appearance of the walls.

For the best results, specific products like Thistle Bond-it should be used as a pre-treatment before applying the Finish coat. Ensure that the undercoat complies with the project needs, as this lays the foundation for the final layer. Following a systematic selection and application process contributes to a high-quality finish that meets project standards.

Finally, it's vital to comply with the requirements set forth by the SpecSure® system performance warranty. This warranty guarantees that all components will function as intended throughout the building's lifetime, provided they follow British Gypsum's installation guidelines. Always seek guidance from the design team before any alterations, ensuring that these changes will not compromise the project's performance criteria.
