Thin-coat Spray Plastering

We use Knauf Drywall & Alltek surface coatings to provide a highly cost-effective alternative to traditional thin-coat plasters for internal wall & ceiling finishes. Purpose-designed for rapid application on fast-track building projects, but now also adapted for new-build and refurbishment projects, in the commercial, industrial & residential sectors.

Spray directly onto:

• in-situ concrete
• thin-joint blockwork
• brickwork* and blockwork*
• plasterboard
• ceramic tiles
• any existing plastered surfaces
• Artex
• even steel & glass!

Knauf Drywall & Alltek thin-coat spray applied plasters are delivered to site palletised in forty 25kg plastic bags (contained in two shrink-wrapped cardboard cartons per pallet, weighing in at just over a tonne inclusive per pallet), which makes for easy on-site re-distribution. Bags are robust and readily man-handable with an integral carrying handle.

Surfaces to be sprayed require minimal preparation - just a little light sanding to remove loose material. Sprayed using specialist plant by approved contractors, the first-coated surfaces are re-sprayed once dry and lightly sanded in as little as eight hours, although being left overnight is more common-place. Second-coated surfaces may require a light sanding too before being painted some 18 to 24 hours later (dependent upon ambient conditions).

A mist coat and one full coat of emulsion is recommended for all wall surfaces, but this is all that is required for a finish. Emulsion paints bind with the products to provide an even tougher surface than can be acheived with the plasters alone.

• Alltek can be specified in any standard RAL or NCS colour (Knauf plan to offer similar in 2009)
• Smooth or textured (worked or self-textured) finishes are possible with both Knauf Drywall & Alltek

We now have access to Knauf Dywall's acclaimed MP75 projection plastering system, a one-coat plaster that can be applied up to 20mm thick & is suitable for finishing traditional blockwork. More details can be found on Knauf Drywalls' own website by following this link.
