National Painting & Decorating Show 2011
Speedy application and high quality finishes are the key themes of Knauf Drywall’s presence at the National Painting & Decorating Show 2011 (Stand No. 31; November 15th & 16th, Ricoh Arena) as it displays a selection of its market-leading ready-mix products. The range of spray plasters includes Knauf Airless Readymix Plaster which are a rapid, cost-effective alternative to traditional plaster for finishing walls and ceilings. For the painter and decorator increasingly taking on additional roles in a project to increase revenue, be more competitive and minimise potential issues with other trades; Knauf Readymix Plasters are the perfect solution.
A labour-saving alternative to traditional plaster finishes, Knauf Airless Ready Mixed Plaster is delivered ready-mixed to the correct consistency and applied using low-cost high-pressure spray machines. It is suitable for use as a 1 - 2mm top coat on Knauf Plano or as a two-coat finish directly onto smooth backgrounds including pre-cast panels, Aircrete panels, composite boards, and/or refurbishment over previously decorated surfaces.
Knauf Readymix Plasters are simply cleverer than the average plaster – the skill is in the product. The result is a superb finished surface that is less prone to chips and cracks, and ready for emulsion after only 24 to 48 hours. Knauf Readymix Plasters offer speed and ease of application, whilst minimising the need for water on site and producing virtually no waste. The range is available from a number of decorating outlets and builders merchants.
The ever popular ready-mix Knauf Joint Cement Lite Easy Sand has now been improved so that it now offers even greater savings in time, cost and waste for the contractor – as well as improved joint quality. It is now even lighter, as well as faster and simpler to sand – joint edges can be feathered finely for a seamless, invisible finish. The product also offers greater resistance to cracking and excellent adhesion.
The new product is also more than 12 per cent lighter so it easier to handle for both contractor and merchant. Although it is packed in the same 17 litre tubs – enough for 40m² – Knauf Joint Cement Lite Easy Sand now weighs less at 18kg per tub. And its shelf life is 50 per cent extra so it can be stored for longer if necessary and its consistent high quality is assured by factory mixing.
