UK Plasterboard Market Worth £1.2bn
As the famous saying goes, “Failing to prepare means preparing to fail”, which is especially true in plastering.
Failing to prepare means preparing to fail
During the next 5 years the UK plastering market is expected to grow by more than 10% each year. So with 1.6 million square meters of plasterboard currently being covered annually, there will be increasing demand for high performance ancillary materials.
Every plasterer knows well-prepared surfaces are the essential foundation for smooth, long lasting plastered finishes. And conveniently they can now rely on high performance Hippo tapes to help prepare each and every surface the right way.
Specialist Scrim Tapes
Alongside traditional paper jointing tape Hippo now offer a wider choice of specialist fibreglass scrim tapes. While eliminating the need to apply jointing compound before application, these help save time and money in other ways as well.
