DECOR SILK
Description
DECOR SILK is a ready-to-use, high elasticity, acrylic decorative coating in paste form, suitable for “microcement” type applications on walls and floors. It provides a smooth final finish as well as exceptional water resistance and protection from fungi, weather conditions and mechanical stress. It is available in numerous shades through the THRAKON coloring system.
Application Fields
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, on vertical surfaces of concrete, plaster, gypsum boards, cement boards and other substrates after appropriate preparation
- Ideal for special applications such as benches, beds, wash-basins, showers, window boxes, etc.
- Ideal preserved buildings, hotels, houses restaurants, coffee places and nightclubs
Advantages
- Ready-to-use
- Strong water resistance
- High elasticity
- Fungi protection
- Available in numerous shades
- Certified with CE – according to the European standard EN 1504-2:2004
Application Steps
Substrate should be flat, free from loose particles, grease and oils. All new and old substrates should first be primed with DÉCOR PRIM.
Step 2In very demanding applications and substrates that are going to be imposed to heavy loads we recommend the application of the microcement coatings DECOR or DECOR SUPERIOR before applying DECOR SILK. 24 hours after the application of DÉCOR PRIM, DÉCOR SILK is applied by plastic or metal trowel, depending on the style we want to achieve, in two layers. The second layer should be applied at least 3 h or after the complete drying of the first.
Step 3Horizontal surfaces (staircases, floors etc.) require the use of glass fibre mesh 140-160 gr/m2 after the first layer of DÉCOR SILK for better mechanical stress resistance, as well as expansion joints every 25 m. After the application of DÉCOR SILK, it is suggested to protect and waterproof the surface using the protective varnish DÉCOR PROTECT.
Step 4Demanding applications and places with permanent moisture require the application of DÉCOR PU VARNISH, or DÉCOR PU AQUA.
Step 5The application of fibre mesh on small surfaces (eg kitchen) provides a rigid result. Furthermore, expansion joints secure the observation of mechanical displacements without problems. Glass fibre mesh is considered mandatory for surfaces greater than 25 m².
