Q: Can I use SatinCrete in my shower? A: Yes, however, you have to seal your fully cured SatinCrete wall to make it completely waterproof. Q: Can I apply SatinCrete over tiles? A: No, the weight of the plaster coating is too heavy and could delaminate the tiles. We would recommend rather removing the tiles before applying SatinCrete. Q: Can I apply SatinCrete on a floor? A: No, however, Cemcrete offers a range of floor products that can be used in conjunction with SatinCrete. Q: Can I apply SatinCrete to a previously painted wall? A: Yes, as long as the paint is in good condition and not peeling or flaking. To prepare the previously painted wall to follow the following preparation steps. Q: Can I patch a SatinCrete wall? A: We recommend rather recoating an entire area as patching will lead to colour variances on the wall. Q: Can my plasterer do the application? A: If your plasterer has experience working with Cemcrete products and you feel confident in using them to do the application, then yes. Your plasterer can also attend our free demo days hosted at our Academy in Johannesburg. Please note attending these demo days does not mean your plasterer will be an experienced Cemcrete contractor.
