Description:
WallTex is a masonry cement, ready-mixed, polymer fortified coating, which is specially designed and manufactured to produce stucco that can virtually adhere to any flat or curved surface
Uses:
WallTex is suitable for use a finishing coat on exterior and interior walls and facades ranging from residential to heavy commercial and industrial buildings. It can be applied over any cementitous base surface.
Advantages:
• Minimum need for maintenance.
• Extremely durable wall cover for all climates.
• Unlimited choice of finishing textures.
• Can be applied in thickness from 2 mm to 10 mm.
Colors:
• WallTex Comes in standard 32 colors. Custom Colors are also available.
Application:
Whether WallTex is applied by hand or machine, sufficient force must be used to develop full contact with the substrate. Hollow areas must be filled again and rodded. Scratch-coat plaster is applied to promote mechanical bond between it and the brown plaster coat, or the stucco-finishing coat. Brown coat surfaces are floated with a wood float to densify the plaster and to provide a surface that will improve bond with the final stucco coat. The plaster brown coat is applied in 6 mm to 10 mm thickness, while the finishing stucco coat can be applied to a thickness of 2-10 mm. Stamping of Walltex is also possible to give the deired texture.
Finishing:
WallTex can be finished and textured in many ways from smooth trowelled finish to very rough finish. Enhanced workability, delayed setting time, decreased shrinkage, and superior adhesion allow the plasterer to further widen his imagination and skills to produce finishes otherwise not possible with conventional stucco.
Curing:
Moist curing should be applied to the base coat only, and continued until the application of the finishing stucco coat. This moisture along with the water in WallTex mix provides the total curing required for the finish stucco coat. No additional water should be applied to the finish stucco coat until it has hardened. Addition of water before hardening is common cause of color variations. If it is hot, dry and or windy, the stucco should be moistened and covered with polyethylene plastic sheeting.
Coverage:
Coverage will vary depending on substrate and texture selected. On average 7.8 m2 per 35 Kg bag at 3 mm thickness is dominant.
Warranties:
Interactive Developers SARL guarantees its installations against the undue cracking of concrete due to errors in workmanship and concrete mix. We do not guarantee cracks due to movement in the underlying slab or sub-base. We follow industry tolerances in screeding and work within the industry norms. |
