Facade putty - basic knowledge for a successful choice

Properties facade putty

In construction and finishing works in the compositions of fillers widely used ordinary household soaps, adhesives (animals, flour, carpentry, PVA and so on.), Gypsum, chalk, varnishes and lacquers.Depending on the type of work, fillers (as finished pastes or dry powder mixtures) may be adhesive, oil, minerals, acrylic, latex or a combination thereof.Modern

exterior coating may vary in composition of the mixture: Universal acrylic, silicone and silicate compounds or mixtures and combinations thereof.From the filler appreciation and recognition of the local builders and finishers we got wet facade systems Ceresit .

Easy to use formulations manufactured by Henkel , their high resistance to weathering, including precipitation (rain and snow), determine their versatility.Exterior finish coat has been successfully used for facades, with plastered surface, surfaces of various concrete, facades of wooden materials.

In the case of damage to facade surfaces, previously plastered, this filler can be successfully carried out repairs of surfaces, creating a coating layer of varying thickness, asit has a high hiding power and filling properties, very high plasticity.

What can be noted for themselves when working with a front putty?

For work does not require special tools.May apply the standard spatulas (metal, plastic or rubber) corresponding to the width.If necessary, the exterior finishing putty (when making a part of a co-solvent) may be applied by the use of pneumatic tools spraying.

When applying putty manually high quality of work provided by the properties of the composition: it is well kept on the spatula, not reaching for it, high adhesion on a large number of reasons.After applying the putty dries quickly and it does not crack.It creates a smooth or structured surface layer, high strength.If necessary, it is easy to grind conventional abrasives (sandpaper, bars, etc.).

important properties possessed by all formulations to use on facades, are their safety and environmental friendliness.In the process of work, they almost do not emit any smell, and after drying completely neutral.

By the way, thanks to its special composition, these fillers can easily be painted in an infinite number of colors (tinted) during the preparation of formulations for use, providing uniform color throughout the thickness of the applied layer, which is known to be a high surface stability guarantee against fading and the effects ofultraviolet rays.

When applied wet facade systems is performed most effectively and efficiently plaster facade with their own hands.After the final drying, all formulations Ceresit acquire high resistance to abrasion factors, ie. A. Special microfiber reinforced structures.

What to remember when choosing a filler for the facade?

In determining the type of filler need to be taken into account that the mineral compositions are performed on the basis of cement.After the treatment applied to the facade layer has a high vapor permeability, but requires subsequent painting works.

Fillers on acrylic compositions is better applied to the base with low water vapor permeability, for example, insulation of polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam, etc. .These fillers have a high plasticity.During operation, have an average surface cleanability and require additional measures.

In terms of sustainability, clean better use of silicate and silicone facade putty or hybrid mixtures.Among the features of the application, in the general case, we can choose to be applied to the insulation of the outer wall (the wall) adhesive layer for adhering to it reinforcing fiberglass mesh.

After leveling the surface of the second adhesive layer and its drying is performed on top of a continuous waterproofing priming (good use of rollers for painting surfaces).Now spatulas can be applied and to overwrite the finishing putty.Coating can be made both in the process of preparing fillers for use, and after their application and grouting.
