Acoplaster F

The smoothest surface in the range, and the only one that is not sprayed in mass. A 30 mm mineral-wool panel is bonded to the substrate and finished with a 2 mm plaster coat, so it reads as flat plaster and performs as an absorber.

When to specify it

Specify it when the ceiling has to look like a plastered ceiling and nothing else.

  • Boardrooms and reception where the ceiling must read as plaster
  • Galleries and museums
  • Heritage interiors where a sprayed texture would be wrong
  • Any brief that says “flat, white, and no visible system”

SubstrateClean, dry and airtight, primed with Acoprimer. Above 15 °C during application and while it cures.
Warranty5 years performance and adhesion (manufacturer) · 10-year workmanship (McPherson Coatings)

Worth knowing:

  • Substrate flatness sets the flatness of the finished plane.
  • Minor repairs by hand — spread material, sand back when dry.
  • Airless spray only when painting. Never rolled.
  • Moisture is monitored while it dries.

Performance by thickness

Absorption is a function of thickness.

Specify the thickness against the target, not the headline figure. Sound absorption coefficient by octave band, manufacturer-published.
