Plaster Board

[Joshua]

Hi,

I'm putting  Taper Edge Plaster Board up between the ceiling beams but I can't seem to find the self adhesive tape for the joints or the Board Finish Plaster

Can anyone help with the French names for these, and who's likely to stock them.

Thanks Joshua

seen it in all bricos,and even some supermarkets,I think it is bande etancheite.

The sticky mesh can be called bande à joint or similar. When you say finish plaster, do you mean for the joints? Normally only the joints are done. If so, something like enduit à joint.

The sheds, Weldoms, Mr Bricolage - all will have what you want.

That might be why I can't find Board Finish. If its common practice to only fill the tapered edges at the joints then Board Finish might be not available.

Board Finish , usually in very pale pink, is used to apply a very thin layer over the whole surface to give a perfect finish. It has a consistency of thick cream and fills all the imperfections.

Regards Joshua

No, I won't say anything...! [:D]

I don't think French boards are designed to be coated. Not necessary. Do a good job on the joints and you won't see them.

for a more proffesional job I always tape the joints and skim with plaster as in the U.K. Even tape & jointing is time consuming and messy for the D.I.Y'er.

For the plaster ask for 'Lutec'2000  mixes easy & does'nt set in the mixing bath or bucket to quick.
