The list of facade materials includes plaster with marble chips. It contains a mixture of natural stone chips of various fractions, for the connection of which a transparent or tinted substance based on acrylic, silicates, silicone is used. The size of the fraction of the elements determines the features of the textured surface coating. The main advantages of the material include increased resistance to moisture and external influences, a long service life, aesthetics of decorative design of the facade, excellent vapor permeability. The use of such plaster for the facade under the stone makes it possible to effectively mask wall defects, and if necessary, it can be easily washed with soft detergents.
Application of chips involves performing work in several stages. The preparatory process consists of assessing the condition of the surface and cleaning it from dirt and old coating. If such a need arises, cracks and holes on the facade need to be sealed, and the plane needs to be leveled for decorative plaster.
It is also necessary to pay attention to insulation. For this, foam plastic or mineral wool is used, on which a layer of adhesive is applied for reinforcement with a facade mesh. After this, the surface is thoroughly dried - the moisture level before the main work should be about 4-5%.
Further, the specifics of the technology for applying marble chips involve the following stages:
High adhesive properties are important for it. The substance is selected with the presence of quartz sand in the composition, due to which the surface roughness is achieved for better adhesion to marble facade plaster.
It is advisable to add a pigment to the substance that is close in shade to the base color of the exterior finish. This way, it is possible to avoid the base showing through between the chips and ensure a uniform color of the surface.
The facade is treated with a prepared primer using a roller or brush. The drying time of the surface during facade finishing is 12-24 hours.
It is also important to pay attention to the preparation of the building mixture for work. Mosaic-type plaster is supplied to customers prepared in a paste-like state in buckets. Before application, the facade finishing mixture is carefully mixed in a container at low speeds of a construction mixer. If there is a recommendation from the manufacturer, it is permissible to add water in an amount of no more than 1-2% of the volume. Exceeding this parameter is strictly prohibited.
When facing the facade, a stainless steel spatula and a float are used. The coating is installed on a flat surface in the direction from the bottom up. The wet facade technology implies in this case a continuous process, without allowing visual joints and transitions.
To form the texture of the decorative coating, you should follow these recommendations:
When drying the coating, it should be protected from direct sunlight, rain, frost for 24-72 hours. In this case, it is recommended to use a protective mesh or film. Complete drying of the chips for the facade and the gain in strength of a durable coating occurs over several weeks.
If you follow the technology, you will get original facade solutions. However, it is worth knowing some points that lead to errors and the need to subsequently repair the facade:
If you have doubts about your own abilities, it is better to seek help from the professionals of "RСС ALBA", who guarantee the quality of the result.
