Product Information
We regret to inform you that Gyproc Carlite Finish Plaster is no longer manufactured in the UK. However, there are several high-quality alternatives available that offer similar performance and ease of use. We recommend considering the following options:

Thistle Multi Finish Plaster

This versatile finish plaster can be applied over a variety of backgrounds and offers a smooth, durable surface. It comes in 25kg bags and has a setting time of approximately 2 to 3 hours, similar to Gyproc Carlite Finish.

Knauf Bonding Compound Plasterboard Adhesive

While not a direct substitute for a finishing plaster, this adhesive is often used alongside finish plasters for added adherence and is suitable for both plasterboard and high suction backgrounds.

Gyproc ProMix Lite Joint Cement

This is another product by Gyproc that serves as a lightweight, air-drying jointing material for all stages of plasterboard jointing. Available in 17L tubs, it is easy to mix and apply, providing a similarly high-quality finish.

These alternatives are selected based on their quality, setting times, and ease of use, aiming to provide you with a comparable experience to using Gyproc Carlite Finish Plaster. Feel free to call us on 020-3582-6399 for more information on these products.


Gyproc Carlite Finish Plaster is a market favourite and provides an impeccable smooth and flat surface regardless of the backgrounds and linings. Its multi-use has won over many seasoned plasterers who appreciate the polished result it offers and its ease of use, allowing for more in the mix. It is well able to handle high suction backgrounds such as sand and cement.

As a lightweight plaster, Gyproc Carlite was originally intended for high-rise buildings and boasting improved insulation properties, it is widely considered the creme de la creme when it comes to finish plaster among plastering snobs. 

To prepare Gypsum plaster just add clean water to the mix and start the mixing by hand or with a whisk in order to shorten the process. Upon reaching the right consistency you can start applying it to your internal walls. Be mindful of over-mixing as this will negatively impact setting times and make it harder to deliver a flat finish.

Each piece of equipment should be washed after a new mix rather than just before to further reduce the risk of contamination from previous mixes. 

Carlite Finish plaster bags are sold in bags of 25kg, with 63 bags per pallet, and have a 6 month shelf life.
