Q: What is the difference between CemCote and CemWash?
A: CemCote has a finer texture than CemWash.
Q: Can my builder do the application?
A: If your painter has experience working with Cemcrete products and you feel confident in using them to do the application, then yes. Your painter can also attend our free demo days hosted at our Academy in Johannesburg. Please note attending these demo days does not mean your painter will be an experienced Cemcrete contractor. For more details of Cemcrete’s demo days or independent contractor, details visit Cemcrete’s website.
Q: Do you have to seal a CemCote wall?
A: It is not necessary unless the wall is in an area that is prone to coming into contact with dirt
