Hi mate - thanks for your support, we are very pleased you like the Speedskim product…
As far as doubling your metreage is concerned we do concede that this has been very ambitious of us as a statement. Apologies as we know it has irritated some of the member’s but in our defence we have been getting to know the product ourselves.
The Speedskim has been out for 12 months now and we have had incredibly good and consistent feedback from customers. Some customers say it can increase output and some say it doesn't. All in all though we can now state with confidence (based on customer feedback) that Speedskim has made life a lot easier for a lot of Plasterers. We receive numerous phone calls and emails each month to tell us that the Speedskim takes a considerable amount of strain out of the flattening aspect of the plastering process. So it’s having a very positive effect on those that suffer from aches and pains associated with continual trowel use. It does also help younger Plasterers by reducing fatigue that will lead to aches and pains in later life.
Other feedback from our customers is that the Speedskim does leave skim coat incredibly flat prior to the troweling up process. As it doesn't bring moisture to the surface it allows multi to sit better and you don’t have to chase yourself around the room as such. For many Plasterers they have found the Speedskim very good on bonding and hardwall and say it leaves very flat and closes in nicely. Very good feedback has been received on S&C and K-Rend etc.
We have listened to Plastering Forum members and taken on board any constructive comments - both positive and negative. Some of these comments have led to improvements in the tools design. This has been very helpful.
As I said we do listen to the comments and will be adjusting our wording regarding the metreage claim to be more realistic.
Customer feedback over the past year has been a great help and now allows us to state the advantages of Speedskim with confidence.
We will be launching our finishing blade hopefully in about 8 weeks - combined with our new Pole Attachment which is available now we are hoping this enhances our existing Speedskim product range...
As a final note we do accept that Speedskim is not everyone's choice but for many Plasterers it is proving to be an extremely valuable asset.
We hope this is helpful and constructive from a manufacturers point of view.
Thanks for all the Members constructive input over the last 12 months!
Customer Service is available 7 days.
Cheers
