Application |
Previously painted with a textured coating, which had a very high dirt pick-up, Mapei were asked to come up with a solution to upgrade the existing coatings, with a smooth finish, to reduce the dirt pick-up.
To prepare the substrate, the contractor cleaned the walls of dust and applied the first coat of water-repellent cementitious skimming mortar, Planitop 200. This was followed with the application of Mapetherm Net, an alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh. Subsequently, a second coat of Planitop 200 was applied to create a smooth finish. Once the curing process had taken place, the walls were coated with Silexcolor Paint – the ideal solution for this upgrade due to its excellent longevity. |
