Guest Alphonsox Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 At the recent NEC show British Gypsum were showing off their magnetic plaster. It's applied as a standard plaster with no special requirements. Although expensive it looks like a useful product. I'm thinking of using it on a section of kitchen wall but would appreciate any feedback that anyone has. http://www.roomsmadeforyou.british-gypsum.com/solutions/magnetic-wall.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Never seen anything like that before but it looks a pretty good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 What's wrong with normal plaster and magnetic paint? We got some years ago for the kids playroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alphonsox Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I've seen some poor reviews of magnetic paint with regards to its magnetic properties (any more than a single sheet of paper failing to stay put). The magnetic plaster seems to have a fair bit more grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Alphonsox on this, I got all excited a while back with the idea but soon dropped the idea after going online a digging around to see if it does what it says on the tin. The magnetic paint seems to have a more positive vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alphonsox Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) The plasterers finished today - the last thing that was done was the magnetic plaster - I decided on a 5mm depth rather than the 3mm minimum the manufactures specify. In theory we can just paint it over the same as any other plaster.

Jude1234 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Just resurrecting this old thread. Anybody got any reviews (good/bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alphonsox Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Ours has been in place for a couple of years now and has been painted with white emulsion to match the rest of the walls We’re very pleased with the result. We’re using tiny neodymium magnets to pin stuff, they easily hold multiple sheets of A4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
