Knauf Fill & Finish Light – why does it make a difference?

This product has been designed to make finishing surfaces easy and to achieve a smooth finish without the need for unnecessary touch-ups. The compound is ready to use immediately upon opening, and its formula makes application and subsequent finishing easier. Why is Knauf Fill and Finish Light the right choice?

• Ready to use – ready-made, with no need to mix or measure out the proportions.
• A lighter formula – The lighter weight makes it easier to work with and transport the material.
• Consistent drying – limited shrinkage helps to maintain an even, smooth surface.
• A user-friendly app – it is easy to apply and blend, which speeds up the finishing process.
• Good adhesion to paper surfaces – proven in plasterboard installation work.
• Easy to work with – Once dry, it can be sanded down easily and the details can be refined.
• The perfect base for the finish – prepares the surface for the next stages, such as painting or wallpapering.

Methods of use on site

Knauf Fill & Finish 20kg is a ready-to-use, lightweight filling compound for finishing work on plasterboard and mineral surfaces – such as skim coats, gypsum plasters, cement-lime plasters, concrete or old, painted walls.

• Applying paper tape to the joints between plasterboard panels – particularly at the edges of HRAK panels that have previously been filled with filler (e.g. Uniflott).
• Fitting metal-and-paper corner profiles – for an attractive and durable finish to corners and edges.
• Full-surface, thin-layer skim-coating of plasterboard – to achieve a uniform, even surface on walls and ceilings.
• A topcoat for delicate and scratch-prone surfaces – when you want a polished finish and easier handling once dry.

App

The compound is applied by hand or by machine in layers up to 3 mm thick. Subsequent layers are only applied once the previous ones have dried. Once set, the surface is sanded with #180-#220 sandpaper and then primed before further finishing, e.g. painting.
