Movement joints:


  • Where movement joints are present in the existing substrate, it is highly recommended that they are carried through the system. Please consult with the manufacturer for further details on where movement joints are required.

  • Should the proposed project incorporate any unique design elements or curved elevations, please contact the manufacturer for recommendations or assistance.



INSTALLATION


Installer:

The system manufacturer or a contractor approved by the system manufacturer. Installation shall be made strictly in accordance with Licata Building Systems Ltd instructions. Reference should be made to the project specification, method statement, drawings and all other relevant literature. Consult with LBS Ltd for latest literature and technical bulletins.


FINISHES

Primer:

Apply the Isolante LG Primer with a roller or brush to the dry base coat in an even pattern. Where possible always use the colour Primer to match the specified Topcoat finish. Allow to dry for a minimum of 12 hours. 


Licata Silicone Render:

Thin coat is a ready mixed top coat for external use, highly breathable, high water resistance and excellent mechanical strength. Silicone render provides a high resistance to algae, fungi, mould and to atmospheric agents. The careful choice of acrylic binders and silicone, ensures good durability and a gloss finish with pearlescent effect to the water drops. Licata Silicone Render is suitable as a decorative finish in all work requiring high permeability to water vapour.


Silicone top coat can be applied to solid walls as well as lightweight construction as long as the wall has been prepared by an appropriate base coat with a reinforcing mesh.
