Velur Effect – Ceramic Decorative Plaster and Its Features
The Velur Effect by Fox Dekorator brings elegance and a modern character to your interiors. Proper lighting enhances the shimmering effect of the surface beautifully.
The Velur Effect is a resin-based plaster designed for indoor use and comes ready to apply. It is easy to work with, as it is applied with a trowel. Additionally, it does not require extra sealing and perfectly hides micro-cracks and surface irregularities. This makes it an excellent choice for creating stunning effects on walls or ceilings, whether in modern or classic styles.
This specialist plaster is based on an acrylic dispersion with fine aggregates, ensuring high hardness and durability. It also has enhanced resistance to stains and increased washability.
The Velur Effect by Fox Dekorator is ready to use, but before starting, the product should be thoroughly mixed, either manually or with a low-speed mixer.
It is worth noting that while the product is available in pre-defined colors, one of the plasters—Velur Alaska—can be tinted using Fox Dekorator pigments for customized shades.
Velur Effect by Fox Dekorator – Application Instructions
Before starting, it is advisable to plan the sequence and method of applying the layers and test the final effect on a small sample!
The plaster should be applied in two layers with a stainless steel trowel to the thickness of the grain, followed by smoothing. After applying the first layer, allow 3-6 hours for the surface to dry. The second layer should also be applied to the thickness of the grain, forming the desired pattern and gently smoothing the surface. Finally, leave the surface to dry completely.
For a durable finish, the substrate must be properly prepared in advance. It should be sufficiently load-bearing, stable, and seasoned to an air-dry state. Under normal conditions (approximately 20°C and 55% humidity; drying time may extend under different conditions), the following minimum drying times apply:
- Gypsum, cement, and cement-lime plasters: 1 week per centimeter of thickness.
- Concrete walls and ceilings: at least 28 days.
Additionally, any defects and cracks should be repaired, and the surface should be thoroughly cleaned of dust, dirt, lime, oils, grease, paint residues, etc., before applying the decorative plaster. Then, a bonding primer should be used. Failing to clean the walls may weaken the plaster’s adhesion.
