Q: What is the difference between CemCote Skimmed and SatinCrete?
A: CemCote Skimmed is a micro coating of only 1.6mm thick and SatinCrete is a 2-3mm thick coloured plaster. CemCote Skimmed can be used for interior and exterior applications and SatinCrete only for interior applications.
Q: Can my builder do the application?
A: If your painter has experience working with Cemcrete products and you feel confident in using them to do the application, then yes. Your painter can also attend our free demo days hosted at our Academy in Johannesburg. Please note attending these demo days does not mean your painter will be an experienced Cemcrete contractor. For more details of Cemcrete’s demo days or independent contractor details visit Cemcrete’s website.
Q: Do you have to seal a CemCote wall?
