Drylining At Volkswagon With Wondertex

A large drywall system installed in the Volkswagen car showroom in Huntingdon has been prepared by D Hetherington Tape and Jointing using Wondertex Joint Filler, Joint Finish and Metal Angle Tape.

British Gypsum plasterboard was used to build ceilings and walls in the showroom, offices, kitchen and toilets. Wondertex's drylining system was then used to prepare all joints and screw/nail heads prior to decorating.

Wondertex Joint Filler is a setting compound for the filling of joints and bedding tapes, external metal angles and corner tapes. This product is super fine, ensuring an excellent smooth finish and its fast setting properties allow for early and effortless sanding, while the formula provides minimal shrinkage, meaning no cracks.

Wondertex Metal Angle Tape creates robust corner joints. It can be used on external corners, arches, drops, ceilings, splay angles, bay windows and more. Available as 2 x 12mm steel strips which are 30m long and sold 10 to a box.

Wondertex Joint Finish (formerly Joint Cement) is designed for the finishing of all plasterboard joints and specifically developed for hand and machine jointing. With an extended working time it facilitates minimal waste. This superior product again offers a crack-free formulation with effortless sanding.

This project was D Hetherington's first using Wondertex materials, and their Director Dennis, has said it certainly won’t be the last: "The materials were great value for money – achieving greater coverage than competitor products and delivery direct to site was also economical and convenient. Both materials could be applied easily and smoothly, and where easy to sand."

The project was completed in six weeks and the new Volkswagen showroom is open for business.

Wondertex is a brand of the Instarmac Group plc and a member of the FPDC.
