2 THERE S MORE THAN ONE WAY OF SKIMMING A WALL British Gypsum has developed a range of plasters with real benefits for day-to-day life. If you have decided to have your home plastered you may want to consider upgrading your selection of plaster to one or all of these products.

4 Thistle PureFinish We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, in schools, offices and our homes. We take it for granted that the air we breathe is clean and pollutant-free, yet impurities found in both our working and living spaces can cause health problems and a reduction in our general well-being. Pollutants called VOCs volatile organic compounds are naturally emitted into our home, offices and schools by people, pets, cleaning products as well as furniture, carpets, paints and varnishes and one of the most common VOCs is formaldehyde. ACTIVair is a new technology added to Thistle PureFinish designed to specifically decompose formaldehyde emissions into non-harmful inert compounds, improving air quality within your home. Thistle PureFinish will continue to work for up to 50 years, absorbing formaldehyde emissions as you redecorate or introduce new furnishings to your home. Thistle PureFinish will also not re-emit any harmful emissions over time. For more information, visit british-gypsum.com/activair ACTIVair technology removes up to 70% of formaldehyde from the air* 1. Formaldehyde molecules ( ) in the air are absorbed by the plaster 2. ACTIVair technology ( ) converts them into inert compounds 3. The inert compounds ( ) remain locked in the plaster * Formaldehyde reduction is based on experimental data following ISO standards from 0.4m 2 to 1.4m 2 installed/m 3 room. Lifetime is based on a calculation assuming constant formaldehyde reduction with indoor formaldehyde concentration of 25µg/m 3 for ceiling, drywall or combined drywall and ceiling configurations. 6 7
