Thanks for the interest in finding stockists for DuraFinish. Our stockists are not always keen to take new products in so we are happy to help by talking to your local stockist to help get the product to you.
To make it easier to get the right branch, please send us an email to [email protected] and give us details of the merchant and which branch you normally use and we will call them to see if they will stock for you. Please remember to leave your contact number to so we can update you once we have spoken to the merchant.

Which is why surely to god you would send sample bags out on top of multi pallets or even just take a hit early on and send half a pallet to stores to see how it goes knowing if it's a winner you reap the rewards later on.

Right I'm here now,I have read your posts Vincey,TBH, imo and gods honest truth, with you mentioning pure finish and uni finish,your very own gift to the plastering world,are we to expect more crap videos about these plasters,just seems a bit strange when you say these are pallet only order,are these being trailed as well,just trying to join the dots from your posts.IMO things are always better when they are free,what do you say.

emailed link danny to bg guy.
lets see if my merchants willing to help.
No, it's let's see if bg are willing to help, merchants are not going to take a new product at full cost especially a full pallet, merchants would of had there pants pulled down with uni, you and Vincey can say what you like but it's been a disaster.
disagree buddy, not everyone always looks for the cheapest price, in fact its rarely the case as far as I'm concerned.
what helps is making it available
Where does the extra £50 come from ? I'm sure my good friend Vincey said it was around £7.50 a bag, could be wrong @Vincey

Dura is around £15 , it was thistle pure finish that is £7.50 ish mate.
Magnetic £66
Magnetic plasterboards roughly £22 ish
Unifinish £8.50 - £10
(All including vat).
Tbh there is a noticeable difference in the strength of the dura finish when it's dried compare to bog standard multi or board

How soon?
How quick?
How much?
These are the only 3 questions domestic customers want answering!
I don't know what planet British Gypsum are on these days offering all these new G** products when they can't get any consistency with their bread & butter products.
They have totally lost touch with the tradesmen that spend thousands with them each year, preferring to churn out crap in sub standard packaging.
While at the same time using marketing bollox to try and nurture us into conning the public for double the price for materials.
All British Gypsum are interested in now is making money!

So British Gypsum, a billion pound company, with shareholders are only interested in making money?!? Wow who would of thought, I thought they were a charity .........

I think way to many plasterers just like routine hence the argument about new plasters .. me personally I think it's exciting seeing other stuff come out and getting to try it and offering customers something different.
Im Sick of looking at orange multi finish.... It's almost like hearing they just don't want to adapt or finding it hard too I guess it's probably why this trade is so far behind of others as in moving forward.

True that is what it's about innit , tbh most site guys have probably used a bag of it and not been bothered but place into domestic environment , it's another option for customers and new
