Two coat plaster system for low to medium suction backgrounds for wall locations comprising of 11mm Thistle BondingCoat (undercoat) and 2mm Thistle MultiFinish (finish coat).

If you're looking to achieve a professional finish in your plastering project, the PL0028 specification is an excellent choice. This two-coat plaster system is ideal for low to medium suction backgrounds and is particularly effective for wall applications. Comprising an 11mm Thistle BondingCoat as the undercoat and a 2mm Thistle MultiFinish as the finish coat, this combination ensures both durability and aesthetic appeal.

Before you dive into the plastering process, it's crucial to communicate with your design team or contractor about the desired quality of your finish. Discuss the smoothness and flatness of the surface, and consider how the finished plaster will look under different lighting conditions. This early engagement can save time and ensure that the final result aligns with the project’s expectations.

For the best results, consider applying Thistle GypPrime as a pre-treatment to the finish coat. This step helps enhance adhesion and improves the overall finish quality. Following this, apply 2mm of Thistle MultiFinish on top of the 11mm layer of Thistle BondingCoat for that sleek, smooth look you're aiming for.

Finally, it’s essential to adhere to the SpecSure® system performance warranty provided by British Gypsum. This warranty assures that their proprietary systems will perform as specified for the lifetime of your building, provided all components are installed according to British Gypsum’s guidelines. Always check with your design team before altering any specifications, ensuring that all changes meet project requirements seamlessly.
