Substrates

Suitable For:

• Base coats made from hydraulic lime mortar, conforming to BS EN 459-1
• PARLUMIERE CLAIR
• Coatings of hydraulic mortar, conforming to BS EN 13914-1
• One-coat weather resistant mortar, including PAREX grey weather resistant base-coats
• PARLUMIERE STH
• As a bedding mortar

Unsuitable For:

• Pure hydrated lime or plaster coatings, paint, acrylic painted coverings - unless coated with PARINTER refer to specific requirements on the data sheet
• Lightweight hydraulic coatings/substrates with lower mechanical strength than PARLUMIERE FIN
• Exposed vertical substrates with a backward incline above 10° - a backward incline may affect water run off and may have a tendency to hold moisture

Finishes

• Fine Scraped
• Sponged or Float Smoothed*
• Trowel Smoothed*
• Spray Textured - from tyrolean style to heavy roughcast effect
• Smooth Spray Textured

For additional information on the finishes refer to the data sheet on Textured Mineral Finishes.

*The float/sponge/trowel smoothed finishes may vary in appearance, particularly due to different factors such as the line and level and condition of the substrate or the appearance of a slurry finish caused by over floating the surface. The latter may produce some micro cracking effect on the render surface which may affect the aesthetical appearance but does not affect its durability.

Instructions

Substrate Preparation

• Substrates must be clean, sound, dust free and free of any material which may prevent adhesion.
• Remove all traces of plaster, paint, etc.
• Construction of the masonry must be compliant with BS 8000-3.
• On low suction substrates e.g. shuttered concrete or high suction substrates e.g. lightweight aircrete or clay blockwork, first apply a coat of ready-to use FIXOPIERRE or a PARLUMIERE FIN key coat made up by adding 0.5 litres of FIXOPIERRE to the mixing water volume for 25kg bag of PARLUMIERE FIN.
• On wet or wet patchy substrates or where different materials have been used it is advisable to apply a key coat of FIXOPIERRE for the mixing volume for a 25kg bag of FIXOPIERRE. Allow the key coat to fully dry a minimum of 48 hours before the application of the next coat.
• TV10 MESH may also be required, dependent upon substrate condition and project specification.

Application

Manual application: stainless steel trowel/float.

Mechanical application:

Product Preparation

• Water dosage: 4.6 – 5.6 litres per 25 kg bag
• Machine mixing time: 5 minutes
• Cement mixer mixing time: 5 – 7 minutes

Suitable For

• Machine or manual applications.

On hardened/cured render coating – thickness 5 to 10 mm maximum.

• Apply one compact coat in 1 or 2 layers (2nd layer whilst 1st is still fresh), depending on finish required.

On repaired hardened/cured render coating – thickness 10 to 12 mm maximum.

• Apply in 2 coats.

For joints between bricks and facing stones.

• Refill joints in one layer of 10 to 30 mm, compacting with a trowel. Brush after drying.

Drying time before covering the following base coats.

• PARLUMIERE CLAIR: 3 to 10 days
• PARLUMIERE STH: 7 days minimum
• PARINTER RENOVATION: 3 to 10 days

Consumption

These values are provided as guidance only and may vary subject to substrate conditions and thickness applied.

Precautions

• Product intended for professional use.

It is advisable when completing the different finishes, to take into account the hardening time, which will vary according to climatic conditions.

• Avoid applications on substrates exposed to direct sun or in hot drying winds.
• Do not apply on over heated substrates. In hot condition dampen the substrate prior to application.

Dampen the render after application.

• Do not apply to a frozen substrate or on thawing substrates. Do not use in freezing conditions. Take precautions during damp climatic conditions. Discolouration could occur).
• Do not apply on very wet substrates or where there are wet patches. (Discolouration could occur).
• Minimum application temperatures: 5°C for light colours, 8°C for dark colours.
• Over 30°C, special precautions must be taken.
• In order to reduce the risk of colour differences after drying, always use the same batch number for the same façade.
