System Build-Up

Layer-by-layer system specification

The Plaster Render System is Licata's specification for a smooth plaster finish rather than a textured render. Aggrappante LG bonding primer is applied first, followed by Raso W160 reinforced basecoat with fibreglass mesh.

Artica, Licata's fine mineral plaster, is then applied to deliver the smooth decorative surface. Siloxan Primer and Siloxan Paint complete the system, providing a water-repellent silicone paint finish over the plaster face.

1
Layer 1: Bonding Primer
Aggrappante LG
Spatterdash bonding primer, applied to the substrate to provide a mechanical key for the basecoat. Ensures strong adhesion of the Raso W160 basecoat system. Apply a full, even coat and allow to dry before applying the basecoat.

Layer 2: Basecoat
Raso W160
Lightweight polymer-modified basecoat, applied over the bonding primer and embedded with fibreglass mesh reinforcement whilst still fresh. Provides the flat, stable base required for the Artica plaster finish coat. Allow to cure fully before applying the plaster.

Layer 3: Reinforcement
Fibreglass Mesh
Alkali-resistant fibreglass reinforcement mesh, embedded into the fresh Raso W160 basecoat. Minimum 100mm laps at all joints. Apply additional diagonal mesh at all openings and corners to prevent cracking in the plaster finish.

Layer 4: Plaster
Artica
Fine mineral plaster finish, applied over the cured and reinforced Raso W160 basecoat to deliver a smooth, flat decorative surface. Artica provides the high-quality smooth finish that differentiates this system from a standard textured render. Apply in one or more coats as required and finish to a smooth, even face.
5
Layer 5: Primer
Siloxan Primer
Siloxane-based primer, applied over the fully cured Artica plaster to consolidate the surface and prepare it for the Siloxan Paint finish. Ensures uniform absorption and compatibility between the mineral plaster and the silicone paint topcoat.
6
Layer 6: Paint Finish
Siloxan Paint
Silicone paint finish, applied over the Siloxan Primer to deliver a water-repellent, breathable, anti-mould decorative coating over the smooth plaster face. Available in a wide colour range. Suitable for brush, roller or airless application.
