GENERAL

If you have pre-customised this work section using the "questions and answers" provided as part of the downloading process, it may be necessary to amend some clauses to suit the final project-specific version.

 

The section must still be checked and customised to suit the project being specified, by removing any other irrelevant details and adding project-specific details and selections.

 

This section relates to the supply and installation of Exsulite-Kooltherm Cladding System by Dulux AcraTex NZ based on cladding sheets fixed to timber/metal framing with a drained cavity and an applied textured surface finish.

Modify or extend the above description to suit the project being specified.

 

This section covers specialist high build coatings, with or without a textured surface, applied by spray or roller techniques.

 

While specifically written to suit a range of interior surface finishes, this section could also be adapted to cover similar exterior coatings. However such coating systems are product specific and require careful attention to product manufacturer's preparation and application requirements.

 

Many exterior coatings are installed as part of a weatherproofing system, including joint sealing/filling. Care is again needed to ensure that both the substrate and coating manufacturer's requirements are strictly adhered to.

Fix polystyrene shapes used to create detailing and or at inter-storey joints after the sheets have been primed and jointed or meshed, using EIFS safe adhesive or Dulux AcraTex NZ plaster (notched with appropriate trowel) applied to the shape prior to placing over the prepared sheets.  Temporary fixings may be used while the adhesive cures.  All plant on shapes to be pre-meshed and weatherproofed especially along the top junction with a bead of MS sealant before the finishing plastering commences.

3.24
INSTALL SEALANT

Seal all junctions between the joinery and fibre cement sheets, and around penetrations, flashing ends and other similar details with a minimum 6mm bead of MS sealant.

3.25
FINISHING

Refer to SELECTIONS for type and colour.

An LRV 40% minimum is a NZBC requirement and applies to all monolithic substrates.

Application - Dulux AcraTex NZ texture and paint system
3.26
APPLY CEMENT BASED TEXTURE

Apply Dulux AcraTex RenderWall Float Finish Medium to produce a granular texture appearance to Dulux AcraTex NZ requirements.

3.27
APPLY PRIMER

Apply Dulux AcraTex AcraPrime 501/10 Green Render Sealer with roller, brush or airless spray to Dulux AcraTex NZ requirements.

3.28
APPLY ACRYLIC TEXTURE - TROWEL ON

Apply Dulux Acratex 951 Trowel on 1mm, or Dulux AcraTex 951 Coventry Coarse by steel trowel to the thickness of the aggregate within the emulsion, and then float with either a plastic finishing float or polystyrene for the coarser grade aggregate products, all to Dulux AcraTex NZ requirements.

3.29
APPLY ACRYLIC TEXTURE - SPRAY ON

Apply Dulux AcraTex 952 Spray on 2mm using a Hopper Gun with a 4mm tip at 50psi for a 1mm texture and 6 - 8mm tip at 50psi for 2mm texture, on second pass reduce pressure to 30psi, to Dulux AcraTex NZ requirements.

3.30
APPLY TOPCOAT

Apply the specified number of coats of Dulux AcraTex AcraShield Advance with roller, brush or airless spray to the recommended spread rate as per DuSpec specification shown in SELECTIONS, or:

Apply the specified number of coats of Dulux AcraTex 968 Elastomeric 201 Matt with roller, brush or airless spray to the recommended spread rate as per DuSpec specification shown in SELECTIONS.

Application - repaint, existing substrates
3.31
ADHESION TESTING

Inspect and test the surfaces of existing painted substrates to ensure that they are capable of supporting the new coating.  A "cross hatch" adhesion test as an absolute minimum is mandatory, even on a substrate that appears to have a sound firmly adhered paint coating.  Carry out testing in many locations and in areas just under window sills, the weather side of the structure and along the lower part of the wall.  Remove previous coatings in any areas that fail the adhesion test.

3.32
PREPARE SURFACE

Remove loose or flaky paint (as judged by an adhesion test), dust, dirt, salt deposits, mould/fungi and any other surface contaminants with Dulux Prep Wash.  High pressure water blasting is highly recommended as a standard procedure for cleaning the surface; it will also give a good indication as to its integrity.

 

Repair or fill large cracks and flaws with a suitable patching compound.  Smaller cracks (up to 1 mm with Dulux AcraTex 968 Elastomeric 201 or Dulux AcraTex AcraShield Advance) do not need to be filled as these will be bridged by the topcoat.

 

Where the previous coating is removed back to the bare substrate or repairs have been carried out, spot priming will be required.  Dulux AcraTex AcraPrime 501/1 water based primer is recommended, unless the surface is particularly powdery and friable, in which case Dulux AcraTex AcraPrime 501/2 solvent based is recommended.

3.33
APPLY PRIMER - WATER BASED

Apply Dulux AcraTex AcraPrime 501/1water-based primer/sealer to Dulux AcraTex NZ requirements.

3.34
APPLY TOPCOAT

Apply the specified number of coats of Dulux AcraTex AcraShield Advance with roller, brush or airless spray to the recommended spread rate as per DuSpec specification shown in SELECTIONS, or:

Apply the specified number of coats of Dulux AcraTex 968 Elastomeric 201 Matt with roller, brush or airless spray to the recommended spread rate as per DuSpec specification shown in SELECTIONS.

Dulux AcraTex NZ texture and paint system

When specifying texture coatings Dulux recommend that consideration should be given to the type and profile of the texture and preparation of the substrate to achieve the specified texture as this will impact on the applied m² rate. Confirmation via a sample of the texture profile is highly recommended(site sample applied by the contractor is preferred) prior to final pricing sign-off by the contractor administrator.

 

Contact a Dulux representative for a texture sample.
