Plaster & Adhesives

Plaster and Adhesives for Drylining Systems

This category covers the core materials used to fix plasterboard to masonry, prepare backgrounds and achieve smooth finishes. Plasterboard adhesive is commonly used for direct bonding to block and brickwork, creating flat, service-ready walls without the need for full framing systems. Bonding and finishing plasters support repairs, background build-up and final coats, while joint compounds are used to reinforce board joints and deliver a paint-ready surface.

Trades typically specify products from established systems, including Knauf, Thistle, and gypsum based solutions, where compatibility and consistency are key. Using the correct plasterboard adhesive and joint compound helps reduce cracking, improve adhesion and maintain finish quality across larger areas.

Plaster and adhesives are used throughout residential refurbishments, commercial fit outs and new build interiors. Dot and dab fixing speeds up wall lining, bonding coats help level uneven backgrounds, and finishing plasters allow a clean handover between trades. Joint compounds are widely used for taped joints, patch repairs and finishing details where sanding time and surface quality matter.

When combined with boards, beads and accessories from our wider plaster and drylining range, these materials form a complete internal lining solution that installers can rely on.
