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: Can I leave it exposed or do I have to cover it with CemWash?
A: You can leave the ThatchCrete exposed or if you’re looking for a colour other than the 3 standard ThatchCrete colours you can paint it with a durable paint, like TPC Roof, or coat it with CemWash.
