Decorative mineral plaster with wood effect

USE

CHARACTERISTICS

PACKAGE

BK-Wood Effect is a mineral plaster intended for the decorative protection of interior and exterior surfaces. It is characterized by excellent adhesion to mineral surfaces, exceptional water repellency and resistance to weather and UV radiation. It has high vapor permeability and excellent resistance to the development of microorganisms. BK-Wood Effect is produced exclusively in white and is subsequently painted with transparent coatings BK-Velatura or BK-AquaLasur, after at least 24 hours of drying under normal conditions.

Preparation and application :

The surface on which the mortar is applied must be flat, dry, clean, free of loosely attached parts, dust, water-soluble salts, grease and other impurities, which can prevent good adhesion to the substrate. Suitable substrates are cement-lime mortars, reinforcing layer of thermal insulation systems, plasterboard and cement-fiber boards. Before applying the decorative plaster, coat the surface with BK-Grund Universal. The mass is prepared by adding the powder to about 25% water until a homogeneous mass without lumps is obtained (~5l of water is needed for 20 kg of powder). Leave the mass to stand for 10-15 minutes, mix once more before applying and add water to adjust the consistency if necessary. Use the prepared mass within 2 hours. BK-Wood Effect is applied in two layers with a stainless trowel. Apply the first layer evenly in an approximate thickness of 1-2 mm. The second layer is applied after complete drying of the first (about 6 hours when drying under normal conditions) in a thickness of 2-3 mm. Creating the texture of natural wood is done by pressing the Decor mold Wood Effect rubber mold into the mortar at the moment when the material hardens to the extent that it is not sticky to the touch. The optimal time for painting the structure is 30-40 minutes under normal working conditions. In order to fully achieve the effect of a wooden board with a rubber mold, it is necessary to coat the mold with BK-Wood Effect Extra, an agent for easy separation of the mold from the mortar, before stamping. After each impression, apply a new layer of coating with a brush and, if necessary, mechanically remove the remains of the decorative plaster from the mold. The lack or insufficient amount of the agent for easy release of the mold can lead to sticking of the mold to the mortar, tearing of the mass and a bad final effect. When the material dries on the surface (about 2-3 hours when drying under normal conditions), it is possible to form the appearance of joints on the mold compositions with the appropriate tool.
