Knauf Drywall Top marks for a speedy finish

A superb finish and full marks for speed and neatness have put machine applied MP75 plaster from Knauf Drywall at the top of the class on a secondary school building site in Oldham, Lancashire. With a single machine, a team of three plasterers and a labourer is well on the way to completing the 22,000m² project involving 220 tons of plaster comfortably ahead of schedule. Knauf MP75 is described as a fast and tough alternative to traditional two coat plasters, and one of the most productive building materials on the market. It is a fast-drying projection plaster specially formulated for one-coat machine application on most interior walling surfaces. It is particularly suitable for surfaces such as brickwork, blockwork and concrete. Supplied in 25kg bags, Knauf MP75 is machine mixed with water to yield about 28 litres of wet plaster to cover around three square metres at an average thickness of 1cm. The plaster is machine-applied to wall in horizontal bands, then simply ruled and floated manually for a durable, smooth white finish. It is available abrasive proof and fire retarding and is ideal for decorating or tiling.
