Product Overview


Description

Now you can add new appeal to concrete and other surfaces all around your home with Beauti-Tone Granite. A tough stone coating that spreads smoothly onto interior or exterior concrete, wood, drywall and other surfaces. Beauti-Tone Granite’s stone content creates a slip resistant, super–hard surface that resists abrasion and impact. The advanced acrylic base adds outstanding adhesion, and elasticity plus excellent resistance to salt, ultraviolet light, and freeze/thaw cycles. Apply seamlessly or in patterns using various colours. You can even add a “grout” line to create realistic ceramic tile, brick or flagstone effects. Your finish cleans easily with a garden hose or mild cleaner and a deck brush. Repairs are easy too. In the unlikely event that your Beauti-Tone® Granite® finish is ever damaged, it can usually be fixed in minutes.

  • Granite's quartz aggregate provides an extremely hard surface that is highly resistant to abrasion
  • The acrylic resins provide superior elasticity, adhesion and low water absorption
  • It can also remain breathable to permit the normal transmission of moisture vapor through the coating to assist in protecting against trapped moisture
  • Low water absorption protects against rain and snow while maintaining elasticity and superior resistance
  • Special additives protect the acrylic resins from ultra- violet rays and discolouration and assure long life, durability and performance

SURFACE PREPARATION:
  • Surface should be clean and dry, free from efflorescence, laitance, dust, dirt, loose flaking, oils, poorly bonded or glossy paint, surface sealers, salts and other contaminates which may effect adhesion and product performance
  • New masonry surfaces should be allowed to cure a minimum of 48 hours prior to application
  • Surface area should be power washed using at least 2500 psi to clear any surface contaminates
  • Smooth, new and efflorescent surfaces should be etched using a muriatic acid/ water solution (2 parts water/1 part muriatic acid), follow by neutralizing surface area with a baking soda/water solution (one 500 gr. box baking soda/2 gallons of water) and rinse area thoroughly
