New Henkel product: CERESIT VISAGE plasters and coatings with a design of natural materials

Design of Natural Stone
Aside from facades resembling natural stone, Henkel offers a rich palette of colors in granite and sandstone shades thanks to its thin-layer plaster with a structure of granite or sandstone for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 710 VISAGE. VISAGE plasters that resemble sandstone are available in a wide range of colors from creamy beige to reddish to gray. The plaster can be applied on traditional substrates made of lime-cement plasters, on concrete surfaces, plaster substrates, wood chipboards, and drywall panels.

The VISAGE series also includes special templates that allow for the creation of a texture typical of brick or stone masonry. This way, the facade acquires a natural, desired appearance without the need to use actual stone or bricks. The desired look characteristic of stone or bricks is achieved by using one of 12 original colors of the thin-layer acrylic plaster (0.5 mm) for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 60 VISAGE, along with one of 5 special templates (three for creating stone patterns, two for brick patterns). This plaster is available in addition to the 12 shades of VISAGE in the full range of colors from Ceresit Colours of Nature® and is resistant to biological attacks from fungi, mold, and algae.

Design of Wood
To achieve the desired wood motif, it is necessary to combine two products from the new VISAGE series. One is the mineral thin-layer plaster for creating a wood texture for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 720 VISAGE, which creates an authentic wood grain, and the second is a wood-colored impregnation coating, Ceresit CT 721 VISAGE, which provides the final shade. Up to six different color types are available to create the desired appearance of the plaster: two shades of pine, oak, teak, walnut, and wenge.

Design of Metal
In modern architecture, traditional materials are not the only source of inspiration; glossy elements are increasingly being used. The VISAGE series offers a wide selection of metallic shiny, lustrous colors thanks to the metallic coating in noble metal colors for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 740 VISAGE, and the advanced technology ensures a long-lasting effect. The Ceresit CT 740 coating has low absorbency and is intended for protective top coatings of facades made from traditional or mineral plasters and concrete structures.

Metallic surfaces are no longer utilized only in industrial buildings; they are also appearing in residential buildings. Silver, aluminum, or gold elements traditionally used in combination with glass are more frequently combined with concrete and wood. Thanks to the VISAGE range with silver, gold, and aluminum shades, facades are original and unconventional. Special luminescent plasters for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 730 VISAGE, create an extraordinary appearance that glows in the dark. This plaster is suitable for details and informational graphics in communication spaces of public buildings - for example, to indicate the direction of escape routes in underground garages, shopping centers, etc. The plaster allows for integrating ornaments, advertising messages, or highlighting architectural elements into the wall surface. The intensity of the luminescent effect is conditioned by the presence and strength of a light source. The self-emission of light is, of course, time-limited, similarly to other common products with this light effect. If you are intrigued by the opal design, simply use the opal coating with a glowing effect for interior and exterior use, Ceresit CT 750 VISAGE.
