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.

Taping and jointing is a method of plasterboard finishing that is increasingly becoming a staple in the construction industry; in large part due to the speed and efficiency of the technique, with much faster drying times than traditional plaster, whilst offering an excellent quality finish.

Ever the innovator, Toupret has spent the last 18 months getting under the skin of UK tapers and jointers, contractors and housebuilders to understand the frustrations on site and how to make it even easier, faster and more cost effective to tape, joint and finish plasterboard, all whilst delivering the highest quality finish the brand is famous for.

The result is Toupret’s Plasterboard Finishing Solutions – a range of products designed to support the system-approach for taping and jointing that professionals trust and rely upon; that’s a paper joint tape, powder joint filler, metal corner tape, adhesive scrim and ready to use finishing compound.

Toupret’s Joint Filler is available with a choice of 1-hour or 3-hour working times – a revolution for the industry. A longer working time means fewer batches need to be made on site, maximising the usage time and allowing bigger batches to be mixed up. For that reason, as well as 15kg bag, the 3-hour version is also available in a 25kg bag. Recognising how site workers also use the product, Joint Filler also adheres to painted surfaces, for those quick patching jobs.

Finish Filler is the true game-changer. It’s exceptionally easy to sand, making light work of joint work and giving a great finish, faster. There’s no bubbling with this product, so no need for any drywall sealer. That means one coat is all it takes, with no need to prime before painting. Toupret has even thought about the packaging, with a tall enough bucket to fit the loading pump for an automatic taper and extra space inside to add water and mix without making a mess.

Completing the system are Toupret’s jointing tapes and scrim. Their 150m paper Joint Tape has the exact dimensions to fit the automatic taper with no slipping and bending. And for corners, their 30m reinforced Metal Corner Tape is resistant to bending and with a central groove for ease of folding.

Finally, Toupret’s Adhesive Scrim is a 90m self-adhesive mesh tape that packs all the punch of an ultra-adhesive scrim but is white in colour so it’s easier to cover. It’s super strong and with reliable adhesion even in cold temperatures.

Toupret’s Plasterboard Finishing Solutions are available from all good stockists nationwide.

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.
