Texture coatings are tough and attractive building coatings designed for application over concrete, cinder block or stucco surfaces. They have a very important role in giving the exterior and interior walls of buildings a new look with a glossy and smooth finish. Texture coatings have become more popular in recent years and with great reasons, these would include:

Flexible coating

Many textured coatings are elastomeric. These coatings contain acrylic binders giving them great flexibility. They are able to expand and contract with building movements creating a flexible layer to cover the cracks and gaps which are common with the exterior of buildings. They do not flake like normal paint. Because they do such a good job at preserving the integrity of the substrate, texture coatings are great for both new and renovated buildings.

Waterproof

Textured coatings are waterproof yet permeable. The coating is designed to breathe and allow moisture to escape but protects the exterior of the building from the elements. The water damage that occurs when the building starts to settle is preventable by this excellent quality.

Resistant to dirt and fading

If you want a coating material that will keep your building looking as good as new for longer than other coating materials, textured coatings is the way to go. Textured coating is resistant to dirt, fading and chalking. The coating can also be scrubbed clean whenever there is any dirt build up.

UV resistant

The textured coating materials often contain reflective material, which protects it from the harmful UV rays. This is what prevents fading as well as protects the building. Because of the reflective quality, texture coating also leads to energy savings from reduced cooling costs especially in hot areas. The reflective quality of the materials makes it easier and cheaper to keep the building interior cooler than normal paint coatings.

Durable

Textured coatings are one of the most durable wall coating materials today. Above all the qualities mentioned above, texture coatings are as much as ten times stronger than normal paint coatings. It does not flake or fade; it is moisture resistant and flexible. This is the perfect combination of qualities for the ultimate wall coating materials, not to mention it is also chemical resistant. Textured coatings have low odour and are easy to apply. You can use it to transform any kind of building surface with little maintenance required to keep things in tiptop shape.
