## The Dry Alternative to Plastering

Tape and jointing is a dry-lining finish technique that creates smooth, seamless joints between plasterboard sheets without the need for a full skim coat. It's faster, lighter, and ideal for many applications.

Craig has extensive experience with tape-and-joint finishing on walls, ceilings, partitions, and commercial fit-outs. The result is a flat, paint-ready surface with invisible joints.

What's Included

Sound Familiar?

## Visible Joints Ruining Your Walls?

### Lines showing through paint

Badly taped joints show through even the best paint. Craig applies multiple coats and sands between each for an invisible finish.

### Cracking at joints

Joints crack when the wrong tape or compound is used. Craig uses paper or mesh tape with the correct jointing compound for a lasting finish.

### Bumpy, uneven surfaces

Over-filled joints create ridges. Craig feathers each coat wider to create a perfectly flat transition.

### Don't want wet plaster

Tape and jointing is ideal when you want to avoid the mess and drying time of wet plastering. Craig delivers the same smooth result.

How It Works

## Simple, Straightforward Process

1

### Inspect the Boards

Craig checks the plasterboarding is flat and properly fixed before beginning the finishing process.

2

### Tape, Fill & Sand

Joints taped, filled in multiple coats, and sanded smooth. Corners finished with bead or tape.

3

### Paint-Ready Surface

A smooth, seamless finish ready for painting or wallpapering. No wet plaster needed.

Benefits

## Why Homeowners Choose Craig

### No Wet Plaster

Tape and jointing avoids the mess and long drying times of traditional wet plastering.

### Faster Than Plastering

Joints can often be finished and ready for paint sooner than a full skim coat.

### Ideal for Large Areas

Commercial spaces and large rooms benefit from the speed and consistency of tape-and-joint finishing.

### 25+ Years Experience

### Fully Insured
