Description
A coloured cement-based decorative finish for exteriors and interiors on walls and ceilings. Integrally coloured to eliminate painting. Permanently hides plaster crazing and other similar defects. Supplied in powder form for mixing on site with clean water. Application is by hand operated Tyrol flicking machine.
Purpose
To provide an exceptionally long lasting coloured, textured coating that hides hair cracks and other imperfections in plaster or concrete.
Types
One type only, but can be used in conjunction with CemBond when application is to smooth or friable surfaces.
Colours
Available in 12 colours.
Applications
Recommended for both interiors and exteriors of homes, offices and factories for walls and ceilings.
Specifying
"Apply in four coats of an approved colour using a hand-held flicking machine. The surface to be dry at the time of application and all four coats to be applied on the same day allowing each coat to be dry before applying the next. All completed work to be cured by wetting 3 times with clean water on the day following the day of application. All in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions."
Specimen Finish
A trial area should be treated on-site for the architect's approval.
Suitable Surfaces
Wood-floated cement plaster is recommended, but Texturite Roughcast can be applied to other sound surfaces if used in conjunction with CemBond. Contact our Technical Department for more information.

Site Work
Storage
Store in a dry shed on wooden slats for a maximum of 4 months.
Weather
Do not apply to exteriors if rain is expected or if there is a risk of frost.
Surface preparation
Surfaces should be clean, hard and dry at the time of application. Smooth or friable surfaces should be primed with a solution of 1 volume CemBond and 5 volumes water. This same solution should be used to mix the first coat of Texturite Roughcast.
Masking
Windows, doors and other adjacent surfaces should be masked using masking tape and brown paper. It is important that all coats are applied on the same day and the masking tape removed as
soon as the final coat is dry.
Mixing
Medium texture:- 3 volumes Texturite to 1 volume water.
Fine texture: - 2,5 volumes Texturite to 1 volume water.
Application
Place about 1 litre of mixture in the machine. Hold machine about 500mm from wall and spray covering about half the surface with evenly spaced blobs of Texturite. Keep machine moving while
spraying. Allow first coat to dry completely, approximately 1 hour. Spray second coat, this time almost obliterating wall with evenly spaced blobs. Again allow to dry completely and apply third coat so that wall is covered. A light fourth coat ensures uniformity of texture and colour.
Curing
Cure by wetting with clean water 3 times during the day following the day of application.
Coverage
One 25kg bag will cover approximately 4 to 7m2 depending upon the coarseness of the texture. Less coverage is obtained on ceilings.
Packaging
Supplied in 25kg non-returnable paper bags.

Important information
Work from architectural feature to architectural feature.
Start application on the part of the building that is in the shade. This prevents direct sunlight from drying out the product too fast.
Exposed parapet walls should be properly waterproofed. It is preferable to have a capping or coping so that water runs past the wall, preventing streak-marks. Window sills should have drip lines cut underneath.
Unless proper waterproofing has been done at foundation level, rising damp will occur.
Ensure that the surface has even suction prior to application.
Move the machine constantly during application to avoid overspray which will create ugly patches.
