Description

Sandstone is a premixed 100% acrylic based coating which is offered in many standard colours as well as custom colours. This product provides the finish touch that adds lasting colour and texture to exterior and interior wall. Sandstone is a two-step finish texture system which replicates the appearance of finely cut limestone or sand stone. Coating it with our Antico Glaze alters its appearance to resemble weathered or aged stone.

Advantages
  • Exceptional durability.
  • Excellent water repellency; protects surfaces from moisture penetration.
  • Breathable coating; allows water vapour within the wall system to evaporate.
  • Excellent adhesion to substrate.
  • Colourfast, not affected by ultra-violet rays.
  • Simulates aged stone with addition of Durex® Antico Glaze.
Uses

Sandstone is a decorative durable coating system which provides surface colour and texture for all Durex® EIFS Systems and all Durex® Stucco Systems. This unique product, which is suitable for both exterior and interior applications, is applied in a two-step trowel application method.
