INFORMATION

The decorative clay plaster ClayBeton effect Clay Travertine is intended for the decorative finishing of interior walls in residential or commercial spaces. The product is vapor permeable and absorbs liquids, making it suitable only for dry areas without direct exposure to water, fuels or grease. It is required to be protected with a varnish – protective resin to improve performance.

It must be applied in one layer, 6-8 mm thick. The decorative finish of Travertine marble is achieved by applying a specialized PVC membrane to the surface.

Preparation

  • Non-absorbent surfaces require an adhesion-enhancing primer.Valpaint Primer 1200 is recommended.
  • (Very) absorbent surfaces should be primed first with a penetrating primer such as PRYMER ACQ and then with an adhesion-enhancing primer such as Valpaint Primer 1200.

Mixing preparation

Pour 8.5–9 L of water into a container (at least 35 L). If coloring is required, add all the pigment to the water and mix well with an electric mixer. Gradually add the ClayBeton effect Clay Travertine Decorative Clay Plaster to the water and mix well. Cover the container and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. Note that the wet mixture will look more intense than the final dry color.

 

Application

  • Apply a 0.4-0.7 mm thick layer of your base color to a section of the wall, matching the size of the PVC membrane you will apply first. For even coverage, use a notched trowel and then smooth with the top handle trowel.
  • After applying the base color, use the stainless steel top handle trowel to layer the remaining colors and to achieve the desired effect.
  • Use embossing tools or special rollers to create texture in certain areas.
  • This helps the colors to blend seamlessly, resulting in beautiful effects.
  • Do not smooth the molded surface further to avoid ruining the pattern you have already created.
  • Lightly spray the PVC membrane with water and press it onto the plastered surface, ensuring it sticks securely.
  • Be careful not to compress the plaster layer at the outer and inner corners, as this can damage the finish when removing the membrane.
  • Once the membrane has set and is no longer slippery, you can start shaping the plaster underneath.
  • The PVC membrane should be removed after at least 12 hours.

Protection

Although ClayBeton effect Clay Travertine walls are relatively hard, they are slightly absorbent due to their cement content, so priming and varnishing are necessary for improved performance.

Allow the wall to dry for at least 12 hours after removing the membrane before applying the protective resin/varnish.

  • Dilute Vetro Opaco with 4 parts water and apply 1-2 coats to the wall. This resin/varnish enhances the durability of the surface and ensures an even distribution of the varnish.
  • In some cases, only 2 diluted coats of Vetro Opaco are sufficient. However, if any unnatural gloss remains, apply an additional coat of Vetro Opaco resin/varnish diluted 1:1 with water for a matt finish.
  • This varnish system alone is not recommended for areas exposed to direct water, such as showers or bathroom areas.
