Below is a step-by-step guide to achieving the ideal finish.

Step 1: UNDERCOAT.

S 650 Bio white undercoat needs to be used to restore damp masonry and help promote adhesion to exterior surfaces. S 650 is recommended over SP22 as it uses the same lime-base as Fassacouche. S 650 can be applied either by trowel or sprayed but it must have a stippled surface and not smooth.

Step 2: BASECOAT & FINISH.

Fassacouche semi-lightweight through-coloured render is available in 11 different colours. As a monocouche, it can be applied to completion in one layer. After the undercoat has been applied, it is advised to spray Fassacouche on at 15-20mm minimum thickness and to use Fassanet160 mesh. Fassacouche can be finished in four textures; smooth, scratched, sponged or sponge floated. With its good water resistance, excellent breathability and workability, it is the perfect product for a decorative yet protective finish.

Step 3: OPTION EXTRA TOP COAT.

Once finished if you wish to change the colour of the render, we recommend using either SKIN432 or PX 505 paint. With the ability to be tinted in up to 365-colours, this is a great way to be able to refresh the look or keep up to date with current house colour trends.

Another option is using IS 510, a transparent, colourless siloxane-based water-repellent paint. IS 510 is a great product to use if you wish to prevent your Fassacouche colour from fading over time and to provide even more surface protection.

Before using any Fassa Bortolo products or systems, we always advise checking the data sheets available on our website.
