Plastering FAQ
Can the system differentiate between skimming over plasterboard versus wet plastering?
Yes. The Smart Scanner identifies drylining (plasterboard fixing/tacking) and matches it to boarding rates, while separate plaster skimming (multifinish) or backing plaster (undercoats like Hardwall/Browning) are matched to their distinct categories.
How does it estimate plasterboard sheet quantities?
The scanner calculates the wall or ceiling area in square meters. It then budgets the required number of standard plasterboard sheets (usually 2400×1200mm boards) and automatically adds joints tape and drywall fixing screws.
Does the system automatically include surface preparation like PVA bonding?
Yes. For skimming or plastering repairs on existing masonry, the system adds PVA or Blue Grit bonding agents automatically as prep line items.
