Sementtipinnoitteet

Sementtipinnoitteet, or cementitious coatings, are materials used to provide a protective and decorative layer to various surfaces, most commonly concrete and masonry. These coatings are typically composed of cement, aggregates, and water, with the addition of polymers or other admixtures to enhance their properties. The primary function of sementtipinnoitteet is to protect the underlying substrate from environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. They can also be used to improve the aesthetic appearance of surfaces, offering a range of textures and colors.

The application of sementtipinnoitteet can be done manually using trowels or brushes, or with mechanical spray equipment. The thickness of the coating varies depending on the intended use, from thin sealers to thicker, more robust layers capable of repairing minor surface imperfections. In construction, these coatings are frequently employed on exterior walls, floors, balconies, and swimming pools. Their durability and cost-effectiveness make them a popular choice for both new construction and renovation projects. The curing process is essential for achieving the full strength and performance of the sementtipinnoitteet, typically involving keeping the surface moist for a specified period. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and priming, is crucial for optimal adhesion and longevity.
