Latest Sandtex Trade video sets out surface solution

Ways of creating uniform surface are all covered in-depth in the fourth video in the ‘This Is Sandtex Trade’ series.

‘This Is Sandtex Trade’ looks at a range of subjects relating to exterior painting.

In the fourth part of the series Kevin O’Donnell – product trainer for Crown Paints – discusses how Sandtex Trade’s system approach can cope with uneven surfaces – and give movement cracks the brush-off.

He explains how Sandtex Trade Membrane Primer and Sandtex Trade Polyester Membrane, used in conjunction with Sandtex Trade High Build Textured Decorative Coating, offer exceptional performance on uneven masonry surfaces – and provide a trusted method of bridging exterior movement cracks.

The video, available to view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn3_PUlkHKg, demonstrates how to install the Sandtex Trade membrane primer and polyester membrane.

It also explores the different application methods for the Sandtex Trade High Build Textured Decorative Coating, including a hands-on demonstration of four different techniques.

Sharon Smith, Sandtex Trade Brand Manager, said: “This latest video offers a great way to show how this system approach works and provides specifiers with an insight into how technical issues can be effectively and accurately addressed.

“Our primer and polyester membrane combination delivers exceptional results when used with Sandtex Trade High Build Textured Decorative Coating.

“They both provide a solid foundation for the coating, which delivers a textured, matt finish which is both decorative and protective.

“Sandtex Trade High Build Textured Decorative Coating’s formulation has been developed to cover cracks and repair uneven surfaces.

“It’s also developed to last, holding a British Board of Agrément Certificate for up to 15 years’ durability. It is available in white and eight ready mixed colours.”

Five videos are being launched throughout 2016 in the ‘This Is Sandtex Trade’ series, to help specifiers build-up a complete picture on exterior painting.
