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

When considering a two-coat plaster system for medium to high suction backgrounds, the specification PL0046 provides a reliable framework. This system utilizes an 11mm undercoat of Thistle HardWall followed by a 2mm finish coat of ThistlePro PureFinish. Together, these materials create a durable and attractive finish ideal for wall locations, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Before applying the skim coat, it's essential to collaborate with the design team or contractor on-site. This communication will help establish the desired quality of the smooth finish, its flatness, and any specific design considerations tailored to the project. Factors such as lighting can greatly influence the project’s outcome, making thorough discussions critical to achieving an optimal result.

The process includes several key products to enhance performance. The system starts with Thistle GypPrime for finish coat pre-treatment, followed by the application of 2mm ThistlePro PureFinish as the top layer over the 11mm of Thistle HardWall undercoat. Utilizing these products ensures a high-quality finish that meets the demands of modern construction standards.

It’s vital to remember that the SpecSure® system performance warranty guarantees the effectiveness of British Gypsum’s proprietary systems for the building’s lifetime. However, this warranty necessitates that all components are fully specified and installed according to British Gypsum’s guidelines. Always liaise with the design team before making any modifications to ensure that the selected materials and methods continue to meet project performance requirements.
