Paint Techniques

By Ben

Quality Platinum Sheen paint, ideal for interiors. Supplied in white and can be tinted in a wide range of colours at your local distributor to your requirements. It is a high quality, high sheen, very washable, silky smooth paint, ideal for interior use.Two coats required on our PVA undercoat to ensure good even colour distribution for raw plaster.

A unique blend of acrylic and selected natural minerals, Liquid Naturals paint creates a rich combination of density and uniform colour giving exceptional coverage and opacity. It is suitable for interior and exterior surfaces. Liquid Naturals withstands temperature extremes and will not flake or peel, on a suitably prepared surface.

Unlike conventional acrylic paints, Liquid Naturals unique characteristics allows the product to breathe, eliminating the risk of delamination of the paint from damp surfaces. In addition, no primers or undercoat are required thereby reducing costs. Liquid Naturals also eliminates streaking on parapet walls and fascia panels, common with cement based coatings.

Over a short period of time Cement Naturals develops a unique naturally mottled finish and is available in Coarse, fine and ultra fine textures. The exciting aspect is that each application is unique. Its soft appearance belies its extreme durability and water resistant strength and high resistance to the effects of the sun, rain, wind and salt air.

Cement Naturals is available in powder form and is a specially prepared cement based exterior paint, coloured with iron oxides. It is a durable economical water resistant coating and is suitable for application on all masonry surfaces such as cement plasters and bagged brickwork.

Internally, Ivory Cement Naturals are used for a rustic homely appearance. The ability of Cement Naturals to be applied directly onto masonry surfaces without an undercoat is a great benefit. Other paints like PVA and some gloss paints must be pre-coated with a slurry coat which is also available from the Africote range.
