RhinoLite Gypsum Plaster Range is a system of high-performance internal plasters designed for levelling and finishing walls and ceilings. The range covers one-coat levelling/finishing plasters, multi-purpose plasters, wall skim plasters and board skim plasters. Together, they provide level, plumb substrates and smooth, paint-ready surfaces over brickwork, blockwork, concrete, sand-cement basecoats and gypsum boards. RhinoLite plasters are lightweight, easy to use and supplied premixed in 40 kg bags – just add clean water.

The RhinoLite range includes levelling plasters, one-coat and multi-purpose plasters, wall skim plasters and board skim plasters. Together they provide a full internal system for levelling uneven substrates and delivering smooth, paint-ready finishes on brickwork, blockwork, concrete, basecoats and gypsum boards.
They are designed for internal use only on walls and ceilings. Typical areas include residential homes, apartments, offices, schools and commercial interiors where a smooth, high-quality finish is required before painting or decorating.
They may be used in standard internal rooms with normal humidity, provided there is adequate ventilation. However, they should not be used in showers, industrial kitchens or areas where walls are frequently washed down or exposed to continuous water contact.
Levelling plasters and one-coat products are applied thicker to correct uneven brick, block or concrete surfaces and to achieve plumb walls. Skim plasters are applied more thinly over already straightened undercoats or boards to create a fine, smooth finish ready for decorating.
Most RhinoLite plasters have a setting time of roughly 45–60 minutes. Within this window you should place, level and finish the plaster. Once it starts to set, do not add extra water or powder – re-tempering can weaken the final surface.
Yes. After the sand-cement basecoat is fully dry, clean and free from loose material, a RhinoLite wall skim or finishing plaster can be applied in thin layers. The result is a much finer, smoother surface compared to painting directly over sand-cement.
Yes, they are significantly lighter by weight at comparable thickness, which reduces labour effort, especially on high-rise or large projects. Being premixed in 40 kg bags also simplifies stock control, mixing on site and housekeeping compared with loose sand and cement.
Standard plastering tools are used: mixing bucket, mixing paddle, hand hawk, steel trowel, rubber float, darby/straight edge and block brush. For mechanical projection systems, a plaster machine can be used with suitable RhinoLite projection plasters where specified.
Yes, once fully dry and properly prepared. Before decorating, check that the surface is set hard, dry and free from dust. An appropriate sealer or plaster primer should be applied to control suction, followed by the chosen decorative paint system.
Gypsum plasters generally provide smoother finishes, reduced shrinkage cracking, lighter weight and quicker application. They are easier to mix, more consistent and often allow faster completion of projects, helping reduce site labour, overheads and overall project timelines compared with traditional sand-cement plastering.
