ProPERLA Textured Basecoat

A technologically superior textured wall coating.

A highly breathable, ultimate performance textured basecoat for creating a range of textured finishes on exterior walls, including masonry and render.

Key Features

Key features of our masonry cream include:

  • For use as a basecoat with ProPERLA Facade Coating
  • For use on both bare and previously painted exterior masonry and render
  • Based on the latest technology
  • Ideal for covering cracks and other imperfections
  • Repairs and restores surfaces ready for painting
  • Restores the integrity of surfaces, offering a protective shield
  • Highly breathable – SD value of 0.04
  • Easy and quick to apply, preventing the need for re-rendering
  • Scientifically engineered to strongly adhere to surfaces by active binding
  • Can create a range of textured finishes from light texture to rough texture
  • Can be used for small spot repairs or on larger areas in order to create a textured finish

Highly Advanced

Active Binding

Breathable

Quick & Easy

ProPERLA Textured Basecoat removes the need for large-scale rendering work, providing a quick, easy and convenient alternative.

It can be applied as easily as paint, allowing either small isolated areas or full exterior walls to be transformed with a new, blemish-free appearance.

This also significantly reduces the time-scale involved in repairing surfaces compared to traditional rendering methods, minimising the hassle and inconvenience caused.

Light Texture

Medium Texture

Rough Texture

Repairs & Restores

Repair small isolated areas or transform full exterior walls with ProPERLA Textured Basecoat.

This provides complete versatility to repair and restore a range of masonry surfaces to create a seamless finish that is ready to paint.

ProPERLA Textured Basecoat is ideal for:

  • Covering cracks and other imperfections
  • Blending new and existing surfaces together

Super Hydrophobic Coating

A surface is considered super hydrophobic if a water droplet beads up (with a contact angle greater than 140⁰ and the droplets can slide aware from the surface readily (it has a small contact angle hysteresis). Super hydrophobic surfaces repel water, causing it to form beads because it is more attracted to itself than the surface. This means water will run off the surface making it extremely difficult to wet.

This is known as the ‘lotus effect’ due to its similarity to the lotus leaf but is also seen on duck feathers and butterfly wings.

Substrates coated with the protective masonry cream will respond in the same way – water will form droplets and won’t penetrate the substrate. Independent testing has shown that it reduces water absorption by 96.3% and meets the British standard for water vapour resistance BS EN ISO 7783:2011.

Prevent & Protect

By diminishing water absorption, our clear masonry cream has been proven to reduce soluble salts migrating from bricks and mortar thereby preventing unsightly deposits of salt efflorescence. Whilst salt efflorescence is generally considered an aesthetic problem, it does have the potential to cause structural damage, such as the erosion of mortar joints, known as sulphate attack.

In contrast to our coloured exterior wall coatingthe masonry cream does not alter the appearance of the building, it helps to maintain and protect the natural beauty of the masonry;

  • It mimics the lotus leaf by creating a super hydrophobic, self-cleaning surface. Dirt particles are unable to obtain a hold on ProPERLA treated surfaces and will simply flow off with rainfall.
  • The growth of moss, algae and lichens is deterred.
  • Slows the ageing or breakdown of the surface of the building by helping to protect it from the damaging effects of the weather including wind driven rain, frost, high air humidity and sea salt penetrated air.
  • Performance is unaffected by UV rays

ProPERLA Textured Basecoat contains our highly advanced nano-technology making it fully compatible as a basecoat with ProPERLA Facade Coating as a topcoat.

ProPERLA Textured Basecoat has also been scientifically engineered to actively bind to surfaces it is applied to, creating an extremely strong chemical bond for long-term durability in all weather conditions. This allows it to work with the existing surface, not against it for optimum performance.
