METAL PARTITIONS

PADCAP Finishes specialises in the installation of metal stud partitions, a versatile and durable solution for creating internal walls and dividing spaces in both commercial and residential properties. These partitions are constructed using lightweight yet strong metal framing, which is then covered with plasterboard to achieve a smooth, professional finish.

Metal partitions offer several key benefits. They are lightweight yet highly durable, making them a cost-effective alternative to traditional brick or block walls. Their flexibility in design allows for quick and easy modifications, making them ideal for office fit-outs, retail spaces, and residential renovations. Additionally, metal partitions contribute to better acoustics and improved fire protection, helping to meet building regulations while creating a safe and comfortable indoor environment.

STEEL FRAMING SYSTEMS (SFS)

At PADCAP Finishes, we provide expert installation of Steel Framing Systems (SFS), a modern, efficient, and highly durable method for constructing internal and external walls in commercial and residential buildings. SFS is a lightweight, high-strength steel framework designed to support various cladding, insulation, and finishing materials while ensuring structural integrity and compliance with building regulations.

​

One of the key benefits of SFS is its versatility and efficiency. Unlike traditional building materials, steel framing is lightweight yet incredibly strong, allowing for faster construction times without compromising on durability. The precision-engineered components ensure a consistent, high-quality finish, reducing the risk of material defects and the need for extensive on-site modifications. Additionally, SFS structures are designed to be fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and highly durable, making them a reliable choice for both short-term and long-term building projects.

The system is also highly energy-efficient, as it allows for the easy incorporation of insulation, helping to improve thermal performance and reduce ongoing energy costs.

METAL FRAME CEILINGS

At PADCAP Finishes, we specialise in the installation of MF (Metal Frame) ceilings, offering a durable and versatile solution for a range of spaces. Built with lightweight metal frames, these ceilings provide all the benefits of a suspended ceiling while delivering a smooth, plasterboard finish that can be insulated for enhanced thermal and acoustic performance.

​

Ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, residential properties, and commercial spaces, MF ceilings are perfect for concealing old or uneven surfaces like lath and plaster. They also help meet fire safety, acoustic, and moisture resistance regulations, making them a popular choice for both private and public sector buildings.

​

Designed to last a lifetime, MF ceilings can be easily redecorated when needed, ensuring long-term value and a professional finish.

SUSPENDED CEILINGS

We specialise in the installation of suspended ceilings, a practical and stylish solution for both commercial and residential spaces. Suspended ceilings consist of a lightweight grid system that is fitted below the main ceiling, creating a seamless and polished finish while offering a range of functional benefits.

One of the main advantages of suspended ceilings is their ability to conceal unsightly structural elements, including electrical wiring, ductwork, and pipework, resulting in a clean and modern aesthetic. These ceilings are also highly versatile, allowing for the easy integration of lighting, ventilation systems, and acoustic panels to enhance the overall functionality of a space.

​

In addition to improving aesthetics, suspended ceilings can significantly enhance energy efficiency. By creating a lower ceiling height, they help retain heat, reducing energy consumption and lowering heating costs. Many systems also include moisture-resistant and fire-rated options, ensuring compliance with building safety regulations while improving durability and longevity.

Suspended ceilings are widely used in offices, retail spaces, schools, hospitals, and residential properties, providing a professional and adaptable ceiling solution for various environments.

PLASTERING

PADCAP Finishes offers top-tier commercial plastering services, aimed at providing businesses with superior interior finishes. Our professional team is adept at handling both skim finishing and detailed plaster effects to suit various project requirements.

The process begins with a thorough assessment of the surfaces to address any issues such as dampness or structural deterioration. The plaster mix, carefully tailored to the specific needs of the property, is then applied using precise techniques to ensure an even, smooth finish. This method covers both skimming over existing surfaces and full plaster applications, depending on the condition of the walls and ceilings.

Opting for PADCAP’s expert plastering services ensures a durable and aesthetically pleasing result that enhances the visual appeal and functionality of commercial spaces. Skilled application minimises common pitfalls like cracking, uneven finishes, and poor adhesion, which can arise from improper plastering techniques.

SPRAY PLASTERING

We specialise in spray plastering, a modern and efficient alternative to traditional plastering. This advanced technique involves applying a fine mist of specialist plaster using high-pressure spray equipment, ensuring a smooth, even finish with minimal mess and quicker drying times.

​

One of the biggest advantages of spray plastering is its speed and efficiency. Large areas can be covered in a fraction of the time compared to manual plastering, reducing project timelines and labour costs. The finish is also exceptionally smooth and seamless, achieving a high-end look with less effort. Additionally, spray plastering produces less waste and dust, creating a cleaner working environment. Its flexibility allows it to adhere to various surfaces, and once dry, it offers a long-lasting, crack-resistant finish.

Ideal for both commercial and residential projects, spray plastering is the perfect solution for those seeking a premium finish with minimal disruption. If you're looking for a fast, efficient, and high-quality plastering solution, contact Padcap Finishes today to find out more.

DRY LINING

PADCAP Finishes offers professional dry lining services, ideal for businesses looking to optimise their commercial spaces efficiently and cost-effectively.

Dry lining involves fixing plasterboard to walls or ceilings to create a smooth, level surface. This method is particularly suitable for resurfacing brick, breeze block, or stone walls. Plasterboard can be attached using a plaster and adhesive mix or secured with nails or screws for timber frame walls. Depending on the needs of the project, the joints between boards are finished with either a skim plaster or a tape-and-joint method to ensure a paint-ready surface.

​

Dry lining provides several advantages over traditional plastering methods. It is quicker, less labor-intensive, and allows for the inclusion of insulation if necessary. This process minimises disruption to commercial operations since there is no waiting for plaster to dry.
