Announcing our new Trade & Distribution Centre
Our business is expanding, and we're opening a new Trade & Distribution Centre in Scoresby on the 7th of January 2019.
A warm welcome to the team
As our business continues to expand we've welcomed many new faces to the team recently. We thought you'd like to meet them!
Heritage College Multi Purpose Hall
Our 67mm Wide Furring Channel was used on this project to install 800 m2 of feature ceilings. Midway Plaster were not disappointed with the time savings and overall results.
Atkar Group Introduces Wide Furring Channel
Atkar Group’s new wider furring channel, at 67mm, reduces the need for double furring channels to be used at the joints which not only ensures reduced joint movement and cracking but also cuts framing time on site.

VoglFuge System vs Other Plasterboard Acoustic Ceilings
VoglFuge uses a different installation process to some of the other brands, so we thought we would give a quick rundown of the differences between VoglFuge and most other Plasterboard Acoustic Ceiling brands in the market.
VoglFuge System - What is it, how do you say it and what makes it different?
VoglFuge is a continuously perforated plasterboard acoustic ceiling that offers a different install process than most other seamless plasterboard ceilings - using no compound filler.
How to Paint VoglFuge
A seamless, continuously perforated acoustic plasterboard ceiling delivers a striking feature to any project. Following the correct painting procedure is paramount.
