Which surfaces can Prato wall resins and PU coatings be applied to?

Recommended Surfaces for Wall Resins

Prato wall resins, such as Vertical Glass, are designed for use on a variety of surfaces including tiles, cement, wood, bricks, and even sanitary ware. To guarantee lasting adhesion and finish, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from any flaking or oily residues. Some resins also adhere well to properly prepared steel, provided the metal is degreased and lightly roughened. Always consult the product instructions to confirm compatibility with your exact substrate.

PU Coatings: Expanding the Range

Polyurethane coatings, like “Prolux”, go beyond traditional wall finishes and are ideal for concrete, fibreglass, ceramic, plastic, and well-prepared metal (such as steel). These coatings are particularly useful in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas, such as workshops, garages, external parking zones, and wet rooms. Proper preparation—like priming or sanding—boosts both adhesion and lifespan, especially on smooth or non-porous surfaces.

Best Practice: Preparing Your Surface

• Tiles: Degrease and lightly sand to allow resin bonding.
• Cement/Concrete: Ensure fully cured and dust-free. Porous surfaces may benefit from a primer.
• Wood: Sand smooth and remove sawdust. Avoid untreated, oily woods unless specified by the resin manufacturer.
• Bricks: Brush away loose material and check for moisture ingress.
• Metals: Properly prepare by cleaning and abrasion, taking extra care with rust or coatings.

Each substrate may demand slight adaptations in technique, so always refer to the individual resin or coating’s guidance.
