The quality of your finish is determined by the quality of your plaster and the way it is applied. We stock the leading brands — RhinoLite, Metacote, and our own range of skimming and jointing compounds — alongside all the tapes, primers and accessories needed for a flawless result.
Skimming plaster is a premium gypsum-based finishing plaster used to create a perfectly smooth, white surface on walls and ceilings. Applied as a thin finish coat over gypsum boards or concrete, it fills imperfections, covers joints and screw heads, and creates a hard, paint-ready surface. The fast-drying formula is suitable for both hand and machine application, and requires no pre-treatment on most substrates.
Creates a hard, smooth surface that significantly reduces paint consumption on the final coat.
Fast-setting formula increases productivity on site — apply, dry, sand and paint in a single day on small areas.
Bonds directly to gypsum board, concrete and masonry without a bonding agent on most substrates.
Available in 40kg bags — sufficient for a full skim of approximately 10–12m² in two coats.
Jointing plaster is a fast-setting gypsum compound specifically formulated for filling the joints between gypsum boards, covering screw heads, and embedding fibreglass mesh tape. Unlike skimming plaster, it is applied before the full skim coat and is designed for gap-filling rather than surface finishing. Its rapid set time accelerates the finishing process on site significantly.
Short set times allow multiple coats in a single day, significantly accelerating the taping and finishing schedule.
Bonds firmly to gypsum board, fibreglass tape and metal beads — resists cracking at joints.
Sands to an ultra-smooth finish, leaving no ridges or proud edges at joints before the skim coat.
Available in 20kg bags — sufficient for all joints and screw heads on both sides of a standard single partition.
Metajoint is a high-performance gypsum-based jointing plaster manufactured by OMV. Available in 20kg bags, it is widely used by professional drywalling contractors for its reliable setting time, strong bond and easy sandability. It is specifically designed for filling board joints, covering screw heads and embedding fibreglass mesh tape — producing a consistent, smooth substrate for the skim coat.
