Description

The NU-SOLID Masonry Plaster System is a mesh reinforced solid plaster system for use as a finishing system over a solid backing of concrete masonry, clay or concrete brick, or in-situ or pre-cast concrete.

The plaster system is finished with a latex-based exterior paint system. The plaster system consists of 8 mm thick fibreglass mesh reinforced, polymer-modified cement-based plaster, which is finished with a latex exterior paint system. The plaster finish can be textured to give either a sponge or adobe appearance.
