HSC 5-Stage Installation Process

Homeshield's wall coatings are supplied by Andura Ltd., a leader in the industry with over 35 years experience in developing textured coatings. We follow a proven application method, washing, repairing and renovating the surface prior to coating.

STAGE 1: Cleaning Down
All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned by either power washing or
if needed wire brushing. Years of grime, soot, mould, algae and any other contaminants are removed.
All loosely adhered or delaminated existing paintwork is removed. In certain instances, a process known as needle-gunning may be required (subject to survey). This will identify any damaged render, brickwork, roughcast, pebbledash, masonry etc. A biocidal wash (Deadly Nightshade) is applied to eliminate any underlying spores and prohibit any further re-growth in years to come.

STAGE 2: Masking Up
This process protects all doors, windows, paths and surrounding
areas that are not being treated. This is achieved by masking up with masking tape, heavy duty paper, polythene and dust sheets.
Great care is taken to protect driveways and adjoining properties.

STAGE 3: Restoration & Repair
Damaged render and decaying brickwork is removed and all cracks
are chased out. Fibre re-inforced polymer cements are used for repairs to ensure a perfect bond. Great care is taken to blend in repair work as much as possible. Previous unpainted areas such as brickwork/roughcast are then bagwashed. with polymer modified mortar to fill small air holes and soften any brick lines whilst retaining all architectural features.

STAGE 4: Homeshield Primer / Slush Coat
Homeshield Primer/Slush coat has been formulated to be applied to
both dry or damp surfaces with up to 50% penetrating into the
substrate and 50% forming a protective surface coating. The Primer/Slush coat also stabilises the substrate and forms the perfect key for the Homeshield finish/top coat. Homeshield finish/top coat bonds with the Primer/Slush coat to form a bond of incredible strength.

STAGE 5: Application
Applied by specialist heavy duty spray equipment.
Coatings are sprayed onto the surfaces at up to 50-75psi air pressure.
The complete system is up to 20 times thicker than conventional
paint. The textured finish helps conceal, as far as possible, any repair work and dries to a beautiful uniform finish. Following completion, your property will be left in a clean and tidy condition.
