Everything about Europlaster

Description: A substantial, trowel-applied plaster with visible quartz grain and a more pronounced textured surface. It is worked with a float, allowing vertical or more organic movement to be created across the wall. Compared with the softer movement of Italic Plaster, Europlaster reads as a more robust, granular plaster finish.
Look: Textured quartz plaster
Application: Applied by steel trowel and floated with a plastic float
Composition: Quartz based, making it a more pronounced finish (1.2 mm / 1.5 mm)
Consumption: 3.5 kg/m².
Colours: Any colour.
Suitability: For internal and external use

Deep and bright colours are charged at a higher price (POA).

Specifier notes

From the published Versus data sheet, 2019. Figures under review.

Spread rates are a guide only; actual rates vary with the surface.
Order the full quantity at once to eliminate batch variance; Versus cannot be held liable for colour variation on insufficient orders.
Signed colour sample panels are required before manufacture.
Maximum recommended application panel: 10 m². Remedial work requires the full panel to be redone.
Scaffold corner-to-corner, or v-joint to v-joint, tape-joint to tape-joint, construction joint to construction joint.
All horizontal surfaces waterproofed with Versus Versa-Proof. Treat all damp first — coatings do not stop damp.
Surface preparation per SABS 1514:1993 and SANS 2001-EM1:2007.
Do not thin premixed coatings — thinning causes colour variation.
Do not apply in direct sunlight or if rain is expected within 4–6 hours.
Drying 12–24 hours is typical for trowel coatings, climate dependent.
Shelf life minimum 12 months unopened. Water based, non-flammable, lowest fire rating.
High-pigment and bright colours fade uniformly over time.
For best results apply by an experienced applicator.
