What is Toupret’s plasterboard finishing range?

It’s a complete system for taping and jointing, not just individual products, but a fully integrated range designed to work seamlessly together. Built with Toupret’s trademark quality and reliability, the system helps save time on site while delivering a professional finish.

The range is made up of a powder Joint Filler, a ready to use Finish Filler, an extra sticky Adhesive Scrim, a paper Joint Tape, and a reinforced Metal Corner Tape – everything needed to complete the job efficiently.

Why is Finish Filler being called a game-changer?

It addresses the biggest frustration in joint finishing: sanding time. We spent time with tapers and jointers across the country and discovered ease of sanding is the top priority for professionals, and Finish Filler sands effortlessly, meaning fewer passes and faster results.

There’s no bubbling, so no drywall sealer is required, and no priming before painting. The bucket is also designed to fit an automatic taper pump – just plunge, pump and tape.

What’s revolutionary about Joint Filler?

Alongside a standard 1-hour working time, there’s a 3-hour option. Longer working time means fewer mixes, larger batches and more jointing before stopping to clean up, saving time overall. It can also be used on painted surfaces for patch repairs.

Why choose a full system?

Reliability and convenience. Every product is designed to work together, reducing frustrations and delivering consistent, professional results.

As the use of plasterboard for interior lining becomes more and more popular in new build developments and large renovation sites, so does the process of taping and jointing for that smooth, ready-to-paint finish. And with all types of tradespeople involved in plasterboard work, from builders and drywall professionals to plumbers and electricians, finding versatile and reliable solutions for plasterboard finishing helps to ensure quality standards whilst still benefitting from time and cost saving benefits that plasterboarding provides.

There is a choice of accessories available for making the process of taping and jointing even faster, such as using an automatic taper to apply both joint filler and tape simultaneously. Or, where a paper tape is not specified, some cut down on time and effort further by using an adhesive scrim instead.

Whatever the method, having the right finishing product is also vital. Toupret’s Plasterboard Finishing Solutions take the company’s expertise and reputation for high quality and inject them into a range that’s been designed to build on the time and cost saving benefits of plasterboard work, without compromising on quality.

Toupret’s solutions include two powder-based products that act as both a joint filler and finishing filler, with a quick drying option that’s ready to paint in 3 hours. There’s also a ready to use filler for use as a joint filler or low-build finishing plaster, so you can opt for whatever suits your job.

If you do prefer to use an adhesive scrim on plasterboard joints, then Toupret’s finishing solutions also mean you can skim finish the entire surface in as little as one coat. Their website and app even include a skimming quantity calculator to help you work out exactly how much product you need for the surface to be covered.

Jointing and finishing is not necessarily the end of the job, however. Touch-ups and repairs are inevitable (no matter how careful you are with your ladder!), and not forgetting the work needs of plumbers and electricians; installing back boxes, light switches and pipework which all result in cutting into and then patching up the plasterboard.

That’s why Toupret’s Plasterboard Finishing Solutions also include two fillers. Patch & Repair Filler comes in a ready to use form, as well as a quick drying powder version that’s ready to paint in 3 hours.
