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.
