What is Stencil Patterned Concrete?
Fauxtex is a cement based colour hardener, which when correctly
applied to concrete can give the appearance of rustic bricks,
tiles and other similar type finishes. It comes in a variety of
colours and texture grades and is used for stencil, stamp or plain
coloured concrete.
How thick is the product?
The product is applied approximately 2-3mm thick on to the surface
of the concrete. It is normally applied in two steps to ensure
that maximum colour hardener strength is achieved.
Is it slip resistant?
Slip resistance is largely determined by the final finish. There
are many techniques used to create a slip resistant surface. Please
discuss these with your contractor, to ensure that you get the
finish best suited for your site and requirements.
Will the colour fade?
The pigments used in Fauxtex are inorganic metal oxides, which
are extremely UV and chemical resistant. A maximum of 5% shading
variation may occur over a period of 5 years. However, this is
barely detectable to the human eye. The application of a UV sealer
will aid in retarding the fading process.
