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

When working with wall finishes, the PL0027 specification outlines a reliable two-coat plaster system ideal for low to medium suction backgrounds. The system consists of an 11mm Thistle BondingCoat as the undercoat, followed by a 2mm layer of ThistlePro DuraFinish that serves as the finish coat. This combination not only ensures durability but also provides a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface suitable for various wall locations.

Before applying the skim coat, it's essential to communicate with the design team or contractor to establish the required finish quality. Discussions should focus on achieving a smooth finish, the necessary flatness, and any design considerations that impact how the final surface will interact with lighting. This collaboration is crucial, as the right finish can enhance the overall appearance and function of the space.

The finishing process involves specific products to achieve the desired results. The Thistle GypPrime serves as a pre-treatment that prepares the surface for the final coat of ThistlePro DuraFinish. With the undercoat of Thistle BondingCoat, this thorough approach ensures a quality finish that meets project specifications and expectations.

Moreover, it's important to consider the SpecSure® system performance warranty, which guarantees that British Gypsum's proprietary systems will meet specified standards throughout the building's lifetime. Compliance with installation guidelines is essential, and any changes to the specification should be coordinated with the design team to ensure that the solutions maintain project performance. For further information, visiting the British Gypsum website is recommended.
