jointing compound fills and sets properly and can prevent timely, costly rework, so it is worth taking the time to choose a quality tape that matches your project’s needs. Skimming the plasterboard ready for the final finish Once the joints between insulated plasterboards have been taped, filled and finished, roller-applied coverings are a good way to get a paint-ready finish, fast. Contractors may find that ready-mixed wall coverings, such as
Dalapro Roll Nova, improve project efficiency. Preparation times are typically shorter than with traditional skimming methods, and the average drying time is around eight hours, depending on the thickness of the application and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. From a quality perspective, the roller application method
delivers exceptional consistency. The uniform coverage minimises the variations that can occur with hand-applied techniques, helping to ensure that every square metre receives the same level of treatment. Once applied to the surface, use a skimming blade to smooth the compound, to achieve a flawless finish. Roller applied coverings come in a 12-litre resealable tub, which means you can load the product straight onto your roller from the tub. Then, when you have finished, reseal the tub and
use any remaining product at your next job. It’s also worth remembering that there are still many situations where traditional wet plastering is essential – particularly for larger-scale repair, maintenance and improvement works, or when working on listed and heritage buildings where original finishes must be preserved. Roller-applied coverings aren’t designed to replace traditional plastering, but they do offer an additional option that can be highly beneficial depending on the job requirements and resources available. The way forward Products for drywall installation have come a long way in recent years and preparing insulated plasterboard for final decoration has become much simpler due to the variety of products available to meet different needs and preferences. Referring to manufacturers’ guides, getting involved in product demos at trade events, and using online training videos can all help contractors understand new products entering the market. These resources make it easier to choose the best jointing solution for the job at hand, avoid compatibility issues and work more efficiently. With the right information upfront, contractors can complete
projects more smoothly, meet deadlines and support their business goals.
