Marmodom MARMOFINISH FW 25kg Pressed fibre-reinforced cement mortar - Base coat

Pressed fibre-reinforced cement mortar - Base layer

MARMOFINISH FW is a fibre-reinforced cement mortar used indoors and outdoors as a floor and wall levelling mortar, but also in special constructions such as built-in beds, tables, sinks, stairs and many other traditional or modern architectural applications. It ensures very good mechanical properties, while at the same time giving a high aesthetic effect. Homogeneous, ready to mix, industrial product of consistently high quality. Ensures good workability, increased speed of application, is economical and provides excellent results.

Composition & Characteristics:

- A blend of high quality white cement with strictly selected particle size and quality of crushed marble enriched with special improving additives.

- Classified according to EN 1504-3:2005 as: (R2-PCC) concrete repair mortar for non-structural repairs.

Application:

- The substrate must be clean and stable and it is recommended to prime with PS PRIMER waterproof quartz primer.

- The contents of the bag are gradually added to clean water or water in which the desired pigment has been previously dissolved (approximately 5,0 l/bag) under continuous stirring using an electric mixer at low speed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is allowed to cure for 5 minutes and then stirred again before application.- MARMOFINISH FW is then applied with a notched trowel (6-10 mm). Then, while the layer is still wet, glass fibre mesh (reinforcement) is applied universally over the surface, with its strips overlapping by at least 10 cm. The reinforcement is then encased with a smooth trowel and the surface is smoothed by pressing to prevent the formation of bubbles inside the material.

- After 2-3 hours (depending on the environmental conditions) and while the surface of the cement mortar has started to "pull", a second coat of MARMOFINISH FW is applied with a smooth metal spatula in order to fully smooth the surface and make it easier to accept the final coat.

- After at least 24 hours, apply a final coat of MARMOFINISH FW FINAL or MARMOFINISH FW EXTRA FINE, with a smooth metal trowel "pressed" over the entire surface. It is important that the trowel passes over every part of the surface.

- In the application phase of the final coat, other pigments can be added to the mixture, which, with the appropriate style, will create "waters" in various tones on the final surface, giving a unique aesthetic effect.

- After 2-3 days, the polyurethane varnish PROTECTOR SHIELD (gloss or matt) is universally impregnated on the surface, giving the final surface water repellency, high mechanical strength, stability and resistance to stains.

- Usually, the application of polyurethane varnishes changes the colour of the surface. If this is not desirable it is recommended to apply an intermediate coat of PROTECTOR SHIELD ACRYL.

- On large surfaces care must be taken to provide expansion joints.

- For even better results, please refer to the relevant MARMOLATEX product.

- During the first 24 hours after application and especially in the summer months, it is recommended to wet the surface to avoid possible cracking due to sudden evaporation of water and dehydration of the product.

- During application, extreme climatic conditions such as strong wind, rain, etc. should be avoided. and the temperature should be between +5 oC and +35 oC.

Packaging & Storage:

- In 25 kg bags, on pallets.
- In a dry, frost-free place for 12 months from the date of production, in unopened bags.

Consumption: 

Approximately 1,5 kg/m2 for a thickness of 1 mm, depending on the type of substrate.
