Crafted to address challenges posed by unstable, weathered, or friable surfaces, this solution penetrates deeply to create a stable base for decorating and coating applications.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for tradespeople and experienced DIY users who need to prepare problematic surfaces before decoration. It suits those working on both interior and exterior projects where surface stability is a concern.

The stabilising solution works well for preparing chalky, dusty, or deteriorating surfaces that require reinforcement before applying paint, wallpaper, or tiles.

Key Features

• Deep Penetration: Reaches into porous surfaces to stabilise and strengthen the structure beneath.
• Application: Compatible with brick, plaster, stone, concrete, and more.
• Weather-Resistant Performance: Suitable for external use, even on heavily exposed surfaces.
• Improved Adhesion: Prepares surfaces for seamless application of paints, wallpapers, or tiles.
• Safe for Internal Use: Low odour and non-toxic once cured, making it suitable for enclosed spaces.

Practical Applications

The Sika Surface Stabilising Solution is perfect for preparing:

• Weathered exterior walls with chalky or unstable surfaces.
• Interior plaster that shows signs of wear or crumbling.
• Pebble-dashed or stucco surfaces needing reinforcement prior to painting.
• Masonry areas affected by dust, mould, or age-related degradation.
• Previously painted walls requiring a refreshed base for new coatings.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This stabilising solution is used during the surface preparation stage, before any decorative coatings are applied. It creates a stable base that prevents future problems with adhesion and surface deterioration.

The correct usage involves cleaning the surface first, testing the product on a small area, then applying it evenly to allow deep penetration. Once dry, the surface is ready for painting, tiling, or wallpapering.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Clean the surface thoroughly, removing moss, mould, grease, or loose debris. For contamination, consider using an appropriate fungicidal wash beforehand.
2. Test Application:
   • Apply a small amount to a test area to check compatibility and absorption.
3. Application:
   • Apply an even coat with a hard wearing churn brush, roller, or spray. Allow the product to penetrate and dry completely before applying additional coats or decorations.
4. Drying Time:
   • Depending on surface porosity and environmental conditions, allow 4-6 hours for drying.
5. Subsequent Coatings:
   • Once dry, the stabilised surface is ready for painting, tiling, or wallpapering.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain effectiveness.
• Reseal the container tightly after each use to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
• Clean tools immediately after application to avoid hardened residue.
