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

When working with wall and ceiling finishes, it’s essential to select the right materials to ensure both durability and aesthetic quality. For medium to high suction backgrounds, the PL0062 specification recommends using a finish coat made from 2mm ThistlePro FastSet Finish. This product is designed to provide a smooth and even surface that complements the overall design of a space.

Before applying the skim coat, it's important to collaborate closely with the design team or contractor on-site. They will provide insights into the necessary quality of finish, including aspects such as smoothness, flatness, and how it will interact with lighting in the finished environment. Attention to these details ensures that the plaster finish meets the project’s aesthetic and functional requirements.

For an effective application, ensure to utilize the appropriate pre-treatment before the finish coat. The recommended pre-treatment is Thistle Bond-it, which helps the finish coat adhere properly to the substrate. Following this, apply a 2mm layer of ThistlePro FastSet Finish for optimal results. Don’t forget that understanding the full system specifications is crucial; consult the British Gypsum installation guidance to maintain compliance and performance standards.

Lastly, keep in mind that the SpecSure® system performance warranty backs up the use of British Gypsum products, ensuring they will perform as intended throughout the building’s lifetime. To remain eligible for this warranty, all components must be specified and installed as per the manufacturer's guidance. Always verify with your design team before modifying any specifications to ensure that any changes uphold the project’s intended performance outcomes.
