Replicating stonework within weber.pral F can be achieved by cutting recessed joints into the
finished render with special tools. Vertical, horizontal and radial recesses can be formed using
square, V and chamfered cutting profiles. Designs may be executed with both vertical and
horizontal cuts to ressemble stone block work. Deep horizontal profiles provide shadow lines
to replicate traditional ashlar`. A number of examples are shown below.

Synthetic resin dispersions are now by far the most widely used type of wall and faade thin
coating. As binders, they contain synthetic resins and a special selection of graded fillers, and
are variable in various colors and finishing aspects. The decofaade organic thin coat renders are
available in granular, roll, and profile texture and have a limited elasticity. The Decofaade.340
HE has an exceptionally higher elasticity, hence the name Highly Elastomeric.
On the other hand, silicate coating feature breathability (high vapor permeability), durability (UV
resistance), a low sensitivity to dust, good water repellency, and the ability to cover the micro
cracks on existing substrates.
Silicate coatings can be applied directly onto lime or cement plaster and on ETICS insulation
system to give a richer mineral aspect which is waterproof.
The silicate weber.pas deco combines the advantages of synthetic resin and silicate dispersions:
the organic content of acrylic resin provides sufficient elasticity that allows bridging the micro
cracks that may appear on the underlying cementitious substrate, however, it is much harder
than a purely synthetic resin coating. Once applied, silicates form a structured surface and due
to their excellent water repellency, dust and dirt can be washed off much easier.
