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

When it comes to achieving a smooth and professional finish on walls and ceilings, selecting the right products is essential. For low to medium suction backgrounds, the specification PL0060 recommends a finish coat that includes 2mm of ThistlePro FastSet Finish. This product not only offers a sleek appearance but also ensures a durable outcome when applied correctly.

Before applying the skim coat, collaboration with the design team or contractor is crucial. Discussing the quality of the smooth finish, flatness, and specific design considerations helps achieve the desired results, especially in areas where lighting may impact the aesthetic. A clear understanding of these expectations will facilitate a smooth application process and enhance the overall quality of the finished surface.

In terms of preparation, the finish coat needs a suitable pre-treatment, which can be achieved with Thistle Bond-it. This ensures proper adhesion of the ThistlePro FastSet Finish. It's also important to adhere strictly to the specified undercoat requirements, which should be detailed in the full specifications to guarantee a reliable finish.

Moreover, British Gypsum offers a SpecSure® system performance warranty. This warranty assures that their proprietary systems will perform as intended throughout the building's life, provided all components are specified and installed according to official guidelines. Changes to the chosen specification should be made cautiously, in consultation with the design team, to ensure all project performance requirements are met. Always refer to the British Gypsum website for comprehensive information and guidelines.
