FLOAT & SET (TRADITIONAL 2 COAT PLASTER)
The term float and set refer to the traditional style of plastering sometimes known as wet plastering.
This system requires 2 coats, the first coat being a wet undercoat plaster. When the undercoat plaster has set to a semi firm state, a skim finish coat is then applied. This plastering method is often used in buildings such as Schools and Hospitals due to its high durability.
FIBROUS PLASTER
Fibrous plaster can be used for all cornice, ornamental and moulding requirements using traditional methods, such as running the cornice on site or using any style of moulding off the shelf.
​
DOT, DAB AND SKIM
This modern gypsum based method of plastering is typically applied to new buildings, extensions or where a thermal upgrade is required. Dabs of plasterboard adhesive are applied to a wall and the plasterboard is then positioned on top. The boards are then levelled and made plumb giving a flat surface ready for the finish coat. When dry this method has an extremely strong bond to the wall. The joints between the plasterboard sheets are then covered with scrim (a tape to prevent cracking over the plasterboard joints) and a thin application of a gypsum based plaster is applied.
TAPE AND JOINT SYSTEM
Alternatively a tape and joint system can be offered, using tapered-edge boards, tape and fill over the joints and nail holes. The surfaces are then sanded before painting. This is a fast and crack-free process, however leaves a rough, matt finish.
