Recommended plaster thickness
Up to 40mm per trowel pass
Coverage per 9kg Thermal bag
Approx. 2 square metres at 10mm thickness
Setting time per coat
Approximately 2 hours
Surface preparation
Plan junctions between different material types to help minimise thermal bridging.
Consolidate the wall to ensure no loose material. Dub out the masonry if needed - fill holes and level off. Surface should be uniformly flat.
Mist the surface of the masonry 2-3 times in the 10-15 mins prior to plastering to control suction.
Primer may be required when plastering over multiple backgrounds.
Recommended plaster application
Mix Thermal to approx. 5.5 litres of clean water per 9kg bag of dry powder used.
Mix the plaster using a paddle mix for approx. 3 minutes.
Use Thermal to dub out any large holes and to level the wall prior to main plastering.
Apply Thermal up to 40mm thickness and leave to set for at least 2 hours.
Repeat step 4 until desired thickness is achieved. Typical application is 80mm thickness applied in two coats.
Trowel flat and level ready to accept a finishing plaster. Smooth or Universal can be applied as a skim coat.
