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

When working with wall and ceiling finishes, understanding the specifics of your chosen materials can make all the difference in achieving a high-quality result. For medium to high suction backgrounds, the recommended finish coat is 2mm of ThistlePro PureFinish. This product is designed to provide a smooth, professional appearance, suitable for design considerations such as lighting and visual aesthetics.

Communication is key when preparing to apply the skim coat. It's essential to collaborate with the design team or contractor to ensure the desired smoothness and flatness of the finish. Discussing these aspects upfront helps align expectations, ensuring that the end result meets the specified quality standards. The visual effects created by lighting can significantly impact how the finish is perceived, so careful planning is advised.

Utilizing the correct products is crucial for achieving optimal results. For this finish coat, a pre-treatment with Thistle Bond-it is recommended to enhance adhesion. Following this, the 2mm ThistlePro PureFinish should be applied. Always refer to installation guidelines to ensure all materials are used as intended, contributing to a durable and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Additionally, be aware of any warranty conditions, such as the SpecSure® system performance warranty from British Gypsum. This warranty confirms that the proprietary systems perform as designated throughout the building's lifespan, provided that all components are specified and installed according to the guidelines. Always consult the design team before implementing changes to ensure that your current specifications still meet project performance standards.
