How dry mixes are selected
A plasterer or tiler selects a product by what they are working on: substrate, surface condition, interior or exterior, and the finish required. Presented with a catalogue of named products they either guess or buy what they used last time. The second question is always quantity, which depends on area and layer thickness and is a calculation most buyers get wrong. Technical data sheets matter on any commercial job, and merchants need trade pricing and pallet quantities rather than the retail bag price.
What we build for a dry mix manufacturer
First, product selection by application and substrate, which is how the choice is actually made. Second, a coverage calculator by area and layer thickness, converting a wall into a bag count and an order. Third, technical data sheets and application instructions downloadable, required on commercial work and useful on every job. Fourth, merchant accounts with pallet pricing and stock, since builders merchants are where most of the volume moves.
