Loft is a concrete-look plaster specially designed for an urban, modern feel. Loft perfectly reproduces the raw concrete look and is the proud descendant of faux concrete finishes\u2014the ultimate coating for imitating real concrete walls. Its ease of use and very \u201con-trend\u201d look will appeal to fans of a clean, sophisticated style. <\/p>\n

Surface preparation before applying plaster:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loft Raw Concrete can be used on all perfectly smooth, sound, clean, dry surfaces EXCEPT wallpaper.<\/p>\n

Gyproc walls with finished joints provide the best substrate.<\/p>\n

Loft Raw Concrete can also be applied to other types of materials, such as fibre cement, finishing-grade plywood (higher grade), or ceramic wall surfaces. In all cases, screw holes and joints must be filled with the appropriate compounds. <\/p>\n

On walls, apply one coat of Decorative Plaster Bonding Primer<\/a> with a 10 mm paint roller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Specific preparation for a ceramic wall<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

To smooth wall tiles, apply one to two coats of Primer & Smoothing<\/a> to fill the joints. If you apply the second coat full-coverage, you will not need to apply any other primer. <\/p>\n

If there are areas where the ceramic is still visible, apply one coat of Loft Adhesion Primer for Countertops and Wall Tiles<\/a>. Follow the recommendations indicated on the product containers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Plaster preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mix everything with an electric drill fitted with a mixer, and make sure to mix well at the bottom and along the sides of the bucket to avoid colour differences.<\/p>\n

The London colour is ready to use\u2014no need to add lime to the cement mix.<\/p>\n

For the Milan and Stockholm colours: LIME ADDITION REQUIRED to create a colour contrast similar to efflorescence.<\/p>\n

Inside the bucket you will find a sachet of white powder (mainly containing lime) to mix with the plaster. This is not mandatory, but we recommend mixing it in, as the powder will randomly add small highlights and bring your wall to life. Without the powder, the effect will be more subtle and uniform, but just as appealing. Wear gloves and dilute the powder in approx. 150 ml of water. Wait about 10 minutes, mix, and incorporate the solution into the LOFT bucket. <\/p>\n

Mix everything with an electric drill fitted with a mixer, and make sure to mix well at the bottom and along the sides of the bucket to avoid colour differences.<\/p>\n

Once the lime is incorporated, your ready-to-use product must be used within 48 hours and stored in the tightly closed bucket. Any wall you start must be finished to avoid lap marks. <\/p>\n

Application:<\/strong>
\nApply Loft Raw Concrete generously (approx. 2 mm) using a stainless-steel trowel, working in 3 to 4 m\u00b2 sections without worrying about the result.
\nImmediately go back over it with the same float or a wide spatula, using criss-cross, smooth, irregular movements to achieve a more or less textured look (more or less relief). Avoid \u201ctrowel\u201d or \u201cspatula\u201d strokes that leave straight, unsightly marks. Let it set for approx. 2 hours, then lightly dampen your surface (approx. 3 m\u00b2 at a time) with a sponge before \u201cbreaking\u201d the edges with a metal trowel in circular motions to achieve the concrete look. <\/p>\n

Protection for more heavily used wall surfaces:<\/strong>
\nIf you want a surface that is resistant to water and stains, apply a thin coat of Clear Wall Protector (3307)<\/a>, using a wide brush. Spread the Protector well to help it penetrate. Let dry for 4 to 6 hours. <\/p>\n
