What Is Stucco?
Stucco is a mixture that contains cement, sand, lime and water. This is suitable for you if you are aiming for a modern home finish. What makes it ideal for aesthetics is that it can be created in a variety of different textures to achieve your preferred look, such as smooth, swirled, raked, pebbled, and coarse. This cement mixture comes in a wide variety of types, one of which is BMI 960.
What Is BMI 690?
BMI 690 is a premium premixed mixture of cement, lime, and sand. It has been specially developed for the scratch and brown coat. This blend is exceptional because in addition to having a consistent quality, it is easy to use — all you need is to add some water, and it can be applied with a spray or your hand. In addition, it is thick and can retain moisture longer, which increases its durability as it has reduced cracking, a higher yield of topcoat applications and more uniform color. Furthermore, it can help you save money and prevent you from wasting products by allowing you to grab the material you need and use the leftovers for your next plastering jobs.
What Are the Uses of BMI 690?
BMI 690 can be applied over different conventional substrates as long as the correct application process is followed. You can maintain proper adhesion and moisture barrier using an open stud, exterior gypsum sheathing, wood-based sheathing, concrete block, masonry, metal lath, structa wire, and any conventional lath.
What Is the Proper Way of Mixing BMI 690?
BMI 690 can be mixed using a portable silio with continuous mixing. The material is in bulk, can be combined with the right amount of water and applied on the wall. Highly qualified professionals and technicians have the knowledge and skills to properly operate and troubleshoot machines.
On the other hand, when using a mechanical mixer, BMI 690 should be mixed for at least 3-5 minutes. Make sure to never overmix.
What Is the Correct Method of Applying BMI 690?
BMI 690 has a unique formula that makes it stick to the wall and prevents it from wasting due to overspray or fallout.
