Granosite textures are acrylic finishes best applied over smooth substrates for maximum eye appeal.
Texture coatings give a decorative appearance and long life protection, with a higher film build than paint, hiding surface defects, enhancing eye appeal and a much longer life.
Texture finishes can be applied over many substrates at much thicker rates than normal paint and so when applied correctly will last longer.
There is a choice of many styles, from authentic sandstone and marble looks to 'Old World' reproductions. Application depends on the products used but usually by roller, trowel or spray.
Life expectancy will vary upon the system used - paint 5-7 years - Granosite texture and aggregate coatings 10-20 years. Fashion changes before the product wears out and usually people update colour schemes by over-coating.
