BK-Stone Style is a mineral decorative plaster designed for coating interior wall surfaces, providing a visual stone effect. It is characterized by excellent adhesion to the substrate and exceptional workability.
Preparation and Application :
Material preparation involves mixing the dry decorative plaster with about 30% water (approximately 6 liters of water for 20 kg of powder). BK-Stone Style is applied in one or more layers using the "wet on wet" method on the previously prepared, dry substrate. If a decorative material thickness greater than 15 mm is desired, reinforcement with a mesh is necessary, which is fixed to the wall with anchors. The decorative plaster is applied and shaped using a trowel, spatula, planer, paint roller, and other modeling and shaping tools. When the plaster partially dries, further processing, modeling, and final smoothing are done on the wet or semi-dry plaster after which the final appearance with a stone effect is achieved. The optimal air and substrate temperature during installation is between +5 °C and +30 °C. The decorative plaster should be protected from rapid drying, as high temperatures and drafts can cause surface cracking. Direct heating of the decorative plaster is not allowed as its hardening must occur evenly. The final appearance is achieved through partial or complete repainting with decorative coatings such as BK-Velatura, BK-Art Metal, BK-Velatura Exclusive, or dispersive paints. Additional surface protection is achieved by applying hydrophobic impregnation BK-AquaPhobe. Due to potential variations in shade of BK-Stone Style, caused by the natural raw materials in the product's composition, it is necessary to equalize the decorative material if it is not from the same batch. Equalization is performed by mixing decorative material from multiple packages in dry form. For detailed instructions, refer to the product’s data sheet.
