The Benefits of Using Storm Additives in Professional Plastering
Share
Improve Efficiency, Workability and Finish Quality on Every Job
In the fast-paced world of plastering, time, consistency, and quality are critical to achieving professional results. Whether you're working on a small domestic project or a large commercial development, the right additives can make a significant difference to both productivity and finish quality.
Storm Additives have been developed specifically for professional plasterers, helping to overcome common site challenges such as changing temperatures, varying drying conditions, and tight project deadlines. By improving control over plaster setting times, Storm Additives allow tradespeople to work more efficiently while maintaining exceptional standards.
Why Use Plaster Additives?
Plastering conditions can vary dramatically from one job to the next. Factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and substrate condition all affect how plaster behaves during application and finishing.
Using specialist additives provides greater control over these variables, allowing plasterers to:
- Improve workability
- Control setting times
- Reduce waste
- Increase productivity
- Achieve a better quality finish
- Adapt to changing site conditions
Storm Additives offer solutions for both speeding up and slowing down the plaster setting process depending on the requirements of the job.
Storm Additives Quick Set Plastering Accelerator
Get the Job Done Faster
When deadlines are tight or colder conditions are slowing progress, Storm Additives Quick Set Plastering Accelerator helps plaster reach its finishing stages significantly faster.
Key Benefits:
Faster Setting Times
The accelerator can help plaster reach its finished set in as little as two hours, reducing downtime and increasing daily productivity.
Improved Workflow
Less waiting between trowels means plasterers can complete more work within a working day.
Better Workability
The additive helps improve the consistency and handling characteristics of plaster during application.
Reduced Risk of Greasy Sets
By encouraging a more predictable set, the accelerator helps minimise common finishing issues associated with slower curing conditions.
Recommended Use

Storm Additives Slow-Paced Set Plaster Retarder
