Gypsumtools now stocking SuperPROF products

We’re always on the lookout for the best plastering and drylining products that this planet has to offer, that’s why we’re pleased to announce the latest additions to our extensive range.

If you take a look online, you’ll discover that Gypsumtools is now stocking the hugely popular SuperPROF products!

These feature a variety of coating knives, wall scrapers and the excellent Comfort Profile which have all made their way over the North Sea from the Netherlands and we’re really pleased to say that they found their way to us.

About SuperPROF

SuperPROF products have been making life that little bit easier for professional plasterers and DIY enthusiasts for a fair few years now.

Their high quality tools are made on an advanced,fully automatic production line, in Velddriel in the Netherlands and are inspected individually to ensure that the blades are straight and properly secured to the aluminium profile.

The company procures large rolls of steel, blue spring steel and stainless steel which is cut to size in a machine. The steel sheet is then forwarded to the assembly machine where the aluminium profile and blade are pressed together.

The half-finished product is placed in a punch press where holes are punched in the aluminium profile for the handle which is then riveted on to it. Wood coated knives and wall scrapers with wooden profiles have always been assembled by hand.

Take a look at the SuperPROF Comfort Profile for a great example of some of the SuperPROF magic. This is ideal for smooth and speedy finishing on large surfaces, ensuring next to no loss of plaster and pretty much no need to worry about smoothing it down afterwards.

The ergonomic profile of the Comfort Profile also ensures a good grip and blades are available in three thicknesses and various lengths.

Gypsumtools now stocking Delehedy Trowels

We don’t take lightly our pledge to stay as up to date as possible when it comes to the latest and greatest innovations in plastering tools and equipment.

And, when it’s plastering trowels you’re looking for, we know that the choice you make can be especially important. After all, it’s one of the most vital bits of kit for a plasterer, so we have to stock the very best.

That’s why we are pleased to announce that Gypsumtools is now stocking Delehedy Trowels, which are used for the final trowel of the finish coat. They are renowned for their excellent results and are perfect for multi finish, flattening and skimming, white cements and renders, special finishes and epoxies.

A bit about the Delehedy Trowel

The things we love about the Delehedy plastic flexible plastering trowels is that they claim to need no breaking in, leave no marks and will give an excellent finish straight away.

And, thanks to the plastic nature of the trowel, they are safer to use than steel trowels with no sharp edges to hurt yourself on while you work. In turn this makes them much more comfortable and less tiring to use than steel trowels, giving you the opportunity to get the job completed faster with much less stress.

You can also recoat previously applied gauges, much sooner and faster, while the result from blending old and new surfaces becomes more seamless. They’re also good for when you’re plastering over that lovely old Artex that’s such a pleasure to do!

There’s no need to use water with the Delehedy trowel either, it has a flexible blade suitable for curved surfaces and you’ll get a nicely polished finish too.

Why you need to get a Delehedy trowel today!

The trowel has two main parts – the stainless steel mini trowel blade which has an alloy shank and soft handle and the plastic blade holder bracket on the flexible plastic blades.

The reason why you need one today is because, for a limited time at Gypsumtools, we are offering you the chance to buy two blades and get the handle free!

You’ll get the benefit of the new shape handle, replaceable blades, new soft composite rubber handles and the trowels come in a range of sizes which are available with or without the foam back.
