Thick wall coatings offer a unique and decorative way to protect and enhance vertical surfaces. Using specially formulated resins, you can achieve seamless, durable, and creative finishes on interior walls, tiles, and architectural features.
What Are Thick Wall Coatings?
Thick wall coatings refer to robust resin systems designed for use on vertical and sloping surfaces. Unlike traditional self-levelling resins, these products maintain their shape without running or sagging, preserving textures and artistic effects. They are ideal for areas exposed to moisture or needing a custom decorative touch, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or reception areas.
How to Apply Resin on Vertical Surfaces
Applying resin as a thick wall coating requires a product with the correct viscosity to prevent drips. For example, Vertical Glass is specifically designed for vertical use—it can be directly applied to surfaces such as tiles, cement, wood, or brick with a spatula. Choose your pigments for custom gloss or matte effects, and refine the surface by sanding after full cure to obtain either a vitrified or satin finish. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for layer thickness and curing times to ensure best results.
When Thick Wall Coatings Matter
- Decorative design: If you want to create patterns, metallic effects, or relieve details, thick wall coatings provide a stable base without unwanted smoothing.
- Moisture-prone areas: Their moisture resistance makes them suitable for interiors like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Surface restoration: Use them to seal, protect, or revitalise old tiles, bricks, or existing wall features.
