Everything about Combed Plaster

Description: Versus Combed Plaster is a wide-comb textured finish that brings bold, rhythmic movement to any wall. Hand-worked with a wide-tooth trowel into a striking directional pattern, it transforms a flat surface into a tactile feature — deep grooves catching light and shadow throughout the day. Body-coloured throughout, durable and flexible, with excellent adhesion and a 100% pure acrylic formulation built to last.

Specifier notes

From the published Versus data sheet, 2019. Figures under review.

Spread rates are a guide only; actual rates vary with the surface.
Order the full quantity at once to eliminate batch variance; Versus cannot be held liable for colour variation on insufficient orders.
Signed colour sample panels are required before manufacture.
Maximum recommended application panel: 10 m². Remedial work requires the full panel to be redone.
Scaffold corner-to-corner, or v-joint to v-joint, tape-joint to tape-joint, construction joint to construction joint.
All horizontal surfaces waterproofed with Versus Versa-Proof. Treat all damp first — coatings do not stop damp.
Surface preparation per SABS 1514:1993 and SANS 2001-EM1:2007.
Do not thin premixed coatings — thinning causes colour variation.
Do not apply in direct sunlight or if rain is expected within 4–6 hours.
Drying 12–24 hours is typical for trowel coatings, climate dependent.
Shelf life minimum 12 months unopened. Water based, non-flammable, lowest fire rating.
High-pigment and bright colours fade uniformly over time.
For best results apply by an experienced applicator.
