Joint fillers and finishing compounds
Powder & Paste
In modern drywall construction, the demand for high-quality surfaces is constantly increasing, to the extent that flawless execution has become the calling card of the drywall installer. Today, surfaces are mostly finished to quality level Q3 or higher, whereas just a few years ago, Q2 was sufficient. To keep up with this market trend, it is essential to acquire extensive knowledge of proper joint filling techniques, joint execution and connection methods, and how to achieve the perfect finish.
Rigips filling products are available in a variety of packaging sizes and types. Powder products are available in bags and sacks, while paste-like or ready-mixed compounds are available in buckets.
