Specification-led coating systems

A continuous finish for wet spaces.

Compare microcement and tadelakt for bathrooms, showers and spas. Plan the substrate, waterproofing and finish as one system.

A continuous finish for wet spaces.

Look beyond the final coat.

A successful wet-room specification starts below the visible finish. Substrate stability, drainage, waterproofing, joints, sealer selection and curing all affect performance. Existing tile overlays require a substrate and adhesion assessment.

Assess the substrate first

Confirm stability, moisture, movement and adhesion. An over-tile application needs a suitable preparation and primer protocol.

Detail water management

Agree the membrane, corners, penetrations, drainage and movement joints with the project installer.

Choose the surface protection

Specify the relevant sealer, finish and slip-resistance requirements for walls, floors and wet zones.

Plan curing and maintenance

Allow the specified cure time before water exposure. Agree approved cleaning products and the maintenance schedule.

Make the document review part of the design.

Confirm the required TDS, SDS and applicable test reports before placing the order. Keep the approved sample and system schedule together.
