From wood to masonry: How fillers can be used for a wide range of exterior repairs
With better weather upon us, and 21st June marking the official first day of summer, trade professionals across the country will no doubt find themselves taking on more and more work outdoors, as home and business owners look to smarten up the exterior of their properties.
Exposed to the elements, whether it’s wood or masonry, exterior surfaces can take a beating. So, work typically involves repair and restoration. And fillers can play a big role in carrying out these works. Far from just filling holes, fillers can be used to shape and repair, skim and smooth entire surfaces and even be used to tackle more tricky jobs, like damp or reoccurring cracks.
Whilst being able to resolve the many different problems faced on exteriors, fillers also respond to the way a professional prefers to work, as well as to assist in creating the ideal finish that’s needed. For example, they can come in different colours, produce different levels of finish and are available in either powder or ready to use form.
Toupret understands all these different requirements, and offers the largest range of exterior fillers on the market, as well as products to assist in preparation and problem surfaces, and for exterior wood, ensuring that professionals can choose the right filler for the job.
For filling and repair work, Toupret offers three exterior powder products and a lightweight ready to use filler. And for wood, there’s a powder or a ready to use product, available in a white, off-white or natural wood colour.
The powder products are perfect for shaping and repairing broken or damaged wood and masonry, such as window ledges or decorative features, all without the need for formwork. Simply build up the rough shape, leave it to set, and then, after about an hour, cut away the excess and neaten it up. The beauty of the powder products is that they can also fill to any depth, though they do have their own distinct features too. For example, Masonry Repair Filler is grey in colour and can be applied to damp surfaces. Rock Solid Repair Filler is white in colour and rich is resin, giving it the added strength required for more hard-wearing repairs. Tough Multi-Filler is strong, but easy to sand. And with a 40-minute working time, it can also be used for localised skimming.
Wood Repair Filler can be used in much the same way as a two-part filler, but with a much longer working time of 40 minutes, a choice of colour and no fiddly or nasty-smelling hardener. It’s also ready to paint in just 3 hours.
For general filling, a ready mixed product may be the preferred option, with Wood Filler available in both off-white and natural wood, capable of filling to a depth of 10mm, and Quick Fill being a preferred choice for masonry surfaces; with no depth limit, it’s light grey and ready to paint in just 1 hour.
Skimming and smoothing fillers can produce a clean, high-quality finish and can be a lifesaver when tackling render repair. For example, Toupret’s Skimcoat Filler is available in both powder and ready to use form, giving you either 6 hours or an unlimited working time to smooth over wide areas and patch up localised, damaged render without needing to first remove it. Where the finish really needs to make an impact, a product like Fine Finish Wood Filler can lift the appearance of paintwork, bringing a vibrant mirror-like finish to doors, windows and decorative features.
Finally, showcasing the versatility and problem-solving solution in fillers, there are products designed to alleviate the difficulty of trickier jobs. Fill-Flex is a flexible filler, compatible with all other Toupret fillers, that moves with the substrate to resist cracking and tackle moving surfaces, a common issue in render. Similarly, Skim-Flex is a flexible smoothing filler for levelling and finishing surfaces that is again designed to move with the substrate to resist cracking.
Toupret quality & efficiency with its new range of Plasterboard Finishing Solutions
Toupret offers quality and efficiency with its new range of Plasterboard Finishing Solutions
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.
