A finish coat for low to medium suction backgrounds for wall/ceiling locations comprising of 2mm Thistle SprayFinish.

Specification PL0023 outlines a finish coat designed for low to medium suction backgrounds in wall and ceiling applications, utilizing a 2mm Thistle SprayFinish. This type of coating is ideal for creating a smooth appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic of any space. When considering the application, it’s essential to discuss with the design team or contractor on-site to ensure the desired quality of the finish. This includes aspects like smoothness, flatness, and how the plaster interacts with lighting, which can significantly influence the final visual outcome.

For achieving the best results with your finish coat, several products are recommended. The first step is to apply a pre-treatment called Thistle Bond-it to prepare the surface effectively. Following this, the 2mm layer of Thistle SprayFinish acts as the finishing touch. It's important to adhere to the specified thickness to ensure durability and aesthetic appeal. The details regarding the undercoat can be confirmed based on site conditions, as this plays a crucial role in how well the finish adheres and performs.

If any changes are to be made to the original specification, it’s crucial to consult with the design team.
