Accepted Answer

It's a top-grade exterior wall finish (synthetic render cum finish) designed to be applied on plastered surfaces, walls and pre-cast cement concrete. It creates a beige-grey textured finish, provides weather protection, improves water resistance, and helps conceal surface imperfections for a premium look.

Question 2

What surfaces can I apply this Roughcast finish on?

It is suitable for plastered surfaces, normal walls, and pre-cast cement concrete. Surfaces should be clean, sound, and free of loose material to ensure proper adhesion.

Question 3

How does roughcast render differ from a standard wall paint finish?

Accepted Answer

Roughcast render is a cement-like exterior finish that forms a protective, textured layer on the wall, offering better durability, weather resistance, and hiding power compared with regular decorative paints. It’s designed for exterior use and provides a longer-lasting shield against the elements.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

The product comes in a 32 kg bag, offers a beige-grey color, provides good coverage and hiding power, is washable for maintenance, and is formulated as a synthetic render cum finish for exterior walls with properties like water resistance and alkali resistance.

Question 5

How should I prepare the surface before applying the Roughcast finish?

Accepted Answer

Prepare the substrate by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Repair any cracks or damaged areas, remove loose paint or plaster, and dampen the surface slightly before application to improve adhesion. Follow standard exterior rendering prep practices for best results.

Question 6

What is the recommended application method and cure/setting expectations?

Accepted Answer

Apply with a suitable trowel or render applicator in even coats to achieve a uniform texture. The finish sets over time with weather conditions and should be allowed to cure per standard exterior render guidelines. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures or rain to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.

Question 7

How many coats are typically required, and can I achieve different textures or finishes with it?

Accepted Answer

This product is designed as a render cum finish and is typically applied as a single render layer. If a more uniform or higher hide is desired, a second coat can be considered after the first has initial set, depending on surface condition and desired texture.

Store in a dry, cool place with the bag sealed when not in use. Keep away from moisture and extreme temperatures to prevent premature curing or clumping. Follow the label instructions for any specific storage requirements.
