Three months after its launch, British Gypsum’s ThistlePro® FastSet Finish is proving to be very popular with plasterers and merchants across the UK
British Gypsum’s ThistlePro® FastSet Finish has received an overwhelmingly positive response and burgeoning sales since its launch in April 2022.
ThistlePro® FastSet Finish is a high-performance skim finish plaster, ideal for a wide range of repairs and use on smaller internal walls and ceilings.
A complete all-in-one bagged product removes the need for plasterers to use additives or other methods.
ThistlePro FastSet Finish typically sets in half the time of standard skim finish plaster, with no compromise on performance.
ThistlePro FastSet Finish has proved to be a major hit with tradespeople across the UK
Dozens of plasterers have taken to social media to sing its praises. Comments include: “A brilliant solution to a real problem”; “I’ve definitely found my Friday plaster. A walk-in wardrobe smashed out in no time thanks to FastSet Finish”; and “It sets in half the time of normal plaster. It’s absolutely brilliant, it’s fantastic for the little jobs on the way home so you’re not sat around waiting.”
Merchants have also been very positive about the plaster
Commenting: “Branches that have taken stock are (saying) their customers love the product… it’s an easy sell to customers”
Reports that stocks of ThistlePro FastSet Finish have sold out within just two hours of arriving in store have also been made.
ThistlePro FastSet Finish can be used on tightly scheduled jobs
And while it is often used for patching and repairs, merchants have also reported numerous examples of ThistlePro FastSet Finish being used on other jobs where there is a tight schedule.
Paul Cassidy, product portfolio development director, explained: “We’re absolutely delighted with the response from the sector to ThistlePro FastSet Finish since its launch.
“So often, speed is of the essence in building projects – other tasks must be completed after plastering, so a product which dries quickly while still delivering optimal performance is vital.”
