Textured Coatings Example
This property had previously been coated in resin based coating, the
entire property had to be transformed into one seamless property.
Difficult pre-rendered sections were rendered with HPX polymer fibre
base coats, the render was then primed and high pressure coated in ultra
white very fine textured Pliolite based coating

Unpainted pebbledash has to be prepared differently to that of painted
pebbledash or render.
The first stage of the very important preparatory work is that of high
pressure water jetting this will remove surface dirt and lichen it will
also indicate any loose defective render-backing coat.
The next stage would be to hammer test the areas and remove and repair
any blown areas also large cracks would be cut back and filled with
latex modified mortar.
The next stage would be to apply the bio wash this is left on the walls
and remains active killing any organic growth.
Next the windows quoins, stone headers above the windows, would be
carefully masked.
After masking we need to achieve a few objectives we have to stabilise
any loose pebble on the surface, seal and stabilise and make good any
powdery backing render and dub out the surface to accept the textured
coating.
Some firms recommend slushing the surface with thinned down textured
paint,
(Usually thinned down slops from other jobs) this is not the proper way
to undertake this work as you do not effectively glue the pebble on the
wall or stabilise the surface.
The other way to undertake the work would be to strip the surface or
‘shovel back’ the loose pebble and apply a two coat render but this
method would be very costly and would not make any difference to the
performance of the system, it would just look different.
The most suitable and cost effective way to undertake this stage is to
‘Bag’ coat the surface this is a strong slurry coat containing sand,
cement and SBR latex which is added to the gauging water this is mixed
to a thick cream consistency the slurry coat is brushed and worked deep
into the surface. Once dry this creates a very solid waterproof surface
all pebbles are literally welded to the wall the other advantage of this
treatment is that you do not change the texture of the surface too
significantly, it does have to be dubbed out slightly as you will not
get proper coverage (you will get pock and crater marks etc).
To give you an idea on the viscosity of Wall2Wall fine and standard
texture the coating is that thick it can be trowel applied, which is why
the dash needs dubbing out slightly
We then remove the masking tape and paper to avoid seepage.
Next stage is to re mask, then we apply a resin based smooth primer coat
usually by roller, this primer penetrates into the ‘Bag’ coat and
further stabilises any surface sand particles.
Once dry we can then high-pressure spray the Wall2Wall onto the surface.
Smooth areas of render that are to be treated with Wall2Wall Smooth
Pliolite based coating are not treated with the latex slurry coat
although if the surface is friable it will be treated as above (without
the latex cement slurry coat) and primed.
Spalling or weathered brick work can also be treated in the same way
saving the cost of rendering it also preserves the outline and pattern
of the brick which can look attractive.
