APPLICATION AREA
Travertex is employed as the final coat material on exterior surfaces of various buildings, including rough plaster, exposed concrete, cement sheet, and insulation systems, provided that it is accompanied by a suitable undercoat.
– Manufactured in 3 mm size.
– More elastic than cement based products, and serves as a bridge for the cracks on the application surface.
– Not affected by the cracks forming due to building settling.
– Covers up the faults on the surface with the thick layer of film that forms during application.
– Resistant to ultraviolet and alkaline.
– Not affected from external factors, and weather conditions like rain, snow, humid, extreme hot or cold and also its colours do not fade.
– Due its high vapor permeability, it allows surface to discharge the steam and breathe.
– As it is water-based, it is harmless to human health and environment.
-Clean all dirt, oil, blistered paint and dust off the application surface; level the surface defects with San Deco Acrylic Putty Exterior.
-Previously painted surfaces or surfaces that will be painted must be undercoated with San Deco Unprimer. We recommend using the same colour of undercoat as the selected siding color.
-Thoroughly mix Travertex until it reaches a homogeneous consistency without any dilution.
-Apply Travertex in a single coat using a trowel.
-Adjust the application thickness based on the size of the largest texture stones present in the product.
-Create the desired texture on the surface using a plastic spud in circular motions.
-Ensure that the ambient temperature remains within the range of +5°C to +35°C during the application and for 24 hours afterward.
Allow 4-6 hours for touch dry and 24-48 hours for complete dry at 23˚C environment conditions.
Depending on surface smoothness, porosity and application methods, for a single coat application;
