ThistlePro Magnetic and ThistlePro FastSet Finish could be the solutions for your project and here is why.

Time is always of the essence to housebuilders. Fact. ThistlePro plasters offer finishing solutions that help you to build homes that meet the ever-changing needs of homeowners.

While the Thistle Essential plasters range features everyday undercoat and finishing plasters, used daily by most plasterers, the ThistlePro range offers finishing products and solutions with faster finishing times.

Creating a fun, interactive space can be achieved with ThistlePro Magnetic plaster.

This unique skim finish plaster attracts magnets and provides end users with interactive wall surfaces. By using ThistlePro Magnetic plaster, homeowners can convert the walls into interactive notice boards.

The finishing plaster's strong magnetic attraction means you can hang paintings and other items without any fixings, and then move them when you want without leaving any damage.

Installation guides are available from British Gypsum

ThistlePro FastSet Finish has a faster installation process when compared with Thistle MultiFinish. For the fastest finish, a single mix for both first and second coat is recommended.

ThistlePro Magnetic plaster is applied with thicker coats of around 2mm at a time rather than the standard 1mm, with a total application thickness between 3-6mm. Due to the make-up of the plaster, it has a longer setting time between coats and requires more attention than a regular plaster.
