What Our Dry Lining Contractors Think About the Flextos Supercut

Our dry lining contractors are now able to carry out drywall and commercial ceiling installation with increased efficiency and precision, thanks to the latest industry leading technology from Flextos. The Flextos Supercut XPM is the first portable automotive milling machine which was designed to make pre-fabrication easier on site. By incorporating an automatic feeder, this machine is fast and easy-to-use and can be operated by just one man. This allows dry lining contractors to cut plasterboards to the highest degrees of precision and accuracy.

It’s innovative design not only saves time on site but also makes the task much safer for our dry lining contractors thanks to its limited dust production, simpler operation and reduced necessity for use of Stanley Knives. The standard of work produced by the Flextos Supercut XPM is consistently undistorted and smooth from the automated feeder ensuring a perfect V groove on all types of gypsum boards. This machine also leaves no dust and offers excellent price-performance value.

As one of the leading drywall installation companies Birmingham has to offer, the Flextos XPM technology is exclusively available to our team, to ensure that we continue to uphold our excellent reputation.

Plastering Services by Taylor Hart Ltd – The Benefits of Thistle Plasters 

Our plastering services experts use Thistle Hardwall, a wet plaster, gypsum based undercoat plaster.  It can be used on most masonry and sand or cement undercoats.  Our plastering services team favour the quick surface drying qualities of Thistle Multifinish which provides an inert, smooth texture for decorative finishes.

Given the recent price sensitivities of the British market and rise in steel prices, more often than not, we find that our clients are steering toward increased use of blockwork, thus resulting in our use of two coat plaster in favour of a drywall system.  With this in mind, and always cognisant of recommending a finish that suits the elements of your design, our plastering services team ensure that the Thistle range of products meets its customers’ needs; our two coat plasters are resistant to damage and offer extended durability, thus reducing overall cost over a lifetime.  Whist plaster can provide a base for a myriad of decorative finishes, it also enables efficient heat transfer throughout the building and enhances airtightness in masonry walls, offering a good seal around openings, with added fire resistance and sound proofing qualities.

Taylor Hart would welcome the opportunity of discussing your specific project, so please call us on 01676 522422; we are happy to answer any queries that you may have with regard to our plastering services or any other product or service within our range. We look forward to hearing from you and are confident that you will find the quality of product, service and attention to detail second to none.

The £1.5 million contract required that all the homes were fitted out with drywall and plastering, with the houses to be completed in 32 weeks. As always, we supplied a professional job and within the time given to us.

Beacon Barracks is a typical example of the kind of high profile work carried out by Taylor Hart. From project planning right through to installation and ensuring the homes are fit for heroes to live in, we’re the plastering experts the MOD can rely on.

The most commonly used wet plaster is Thistle Hardwall, which is a gypsum-based undercoat plaster that can be used on a huge variety of jobs. This is a versatile plaster that provides excellent results on most suction backgrounds. Meanwhile, Thistle Multi-Finish is often the choice for plastering experts working on both undercoats and board backgrounds at the same job. You can also make it an ideal choice for doing patching jobs and small repairs to buildings.

As plastering experts we use Thistle Hardwall and Thistle Multi-Finish on commercial and residential buildings. The multiple layers of the two-coat plaster system we use can absorb and store heat, which ensures that buildings have regulated temperatures, particularly during the hot summer months.

Thistle Hardwall also provides a durable finish; this hard wearing surface can handle even the toughest environment for servicemen and their young families. So they’re child proof. The hard wearing plaster work also ensures that there’s no need for regular repair work. Once the homes are finished, we as plastering experts guarantee the work will hold up for a long time to come.
