Insutech FCR1
Insutech FCR1
Insutech FCR1 is the most balanced product in the colored cementitious finish family. It is engineered to provide a Medium-Fine texture, allowing it to mask minor substrate imperfections while delivering an attractive, high-end aesthetic.
Balanced Texture: Graded fine aggregates that allow for a smooth yet slightly textured finish, adding architectural depth to the facade.
Superior Adhesion: Formulated to bond aggressively to all types of traditional plaster and thermal insulation boards (EIFS).
Moisture & Salt Resistance: Prevents water penetration into the walls, protecting the building from dampness and efflorescence (salt bloom).
Permanent Color Stability: German-origin color oxides ensure the shade remains unchanged over the years despite environmental exposure.
Residential Buildings & Compounds: Provides a luxury look at an economical cost compared to natural marble or stone.
Boundary Walls & Large Surfaces: Known for its ease of application, covering vast areas in record time.
Facade Renovation: Ideal for covering weathered exterior walls and giving them a modern, updated look.
External Thermal Insulation Systems (ETICS): Acts as a durable final finishing layer that protects internal insulation layers.
Rapid Delivery: Shortens finishing time by 50% compared to traditional plaster and paint systems.
Abrasion Resistance: The resulting surface is very hard and difficult to scratch, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and fences.
Design Versatility: Can be applied in linear or circular patterns to match the proposed architectural design.
To achieve the best appearance with FCR1, site experts recommend these steps:
Water Spraying: It is preferable to spray the base plaster (undercoat) with water before application to ensure the substrate does not absorb the mixture's water too quickly.
Mechanical Mixing: Mix the 25kg bag with 5–6 liters of water using an electric stirrer to guarantee color homogeneity.
Application: Apply using a metal trowel at a thickness ranging from 2 to 3 mm.
Texturing (Scraping): Use a plastic float (Barwa) to create the desired texture with light touches that result in a medium-fine finish.
