Modern technologies and building materials allow you to create the most futuristic volumes of any complexity and geometry. The facade determines the status of the object, its commercial attractiveness. It is understandable why the requirements for the external appearance of buildings are becoming ever higher. The architecture of both urban and private houses is so diverse that there seems to be nothing more to surprise here. However, there is always room for creativity. And in order to create something unique, it is not at all necessary to build incredible structures. Even working with simple shapes and traditional materials such as plaster can achieve stunning effects.
Baumit CreativTop decorative modeling plaster based on silicone resin is a thin-layer protective topcoat. It is suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications. The peculiarity of the material is that it takes any shape, reproduces any texture and offers designers and architects an impressive palette of shades. The plastic and artistic properties of the material are such that sometimes it is almost impossible to determine that the facade is made of plaster.
The Austrian concern Baumit has half a century of experience in the production of building materials for facades. The company focuses on environmental friendliness and safety of the product, technical and innovative developments, special attention - to the aesthetic properties of materials. All building materials are tested in Viva's own science research park. The obtained research data allows the manufacturer to constantly improve its products, achieving the best performance. That is why Baumit plasters and paints serve for a long time, do not require constant repair and renovation, do not deteriorate from rain, snow and wind, and do not fade in the sun.
The decorative modeling plaster of CreativTop is not inferior in its technical characteristics to other products of the Baumit company. It is durable: the coating does not crack or collapse under the influence of sunlight, atmospheric precipitation, wind loads and temperature extremes. This allows the use of this material for facades in various climatic zones, including the cold regions of Russia.
Also, this material is resistant to moisture and has high vapor permeability. Aggressive external influences and mechanical damage for plaster are almost not terrible, and if necessary, the surface is easily restored. Facades and walls plastered and painted with the CreativTop series require minimal maintenance as they repel dirt and are easy to clean. All this allows the use of CreativTop plaster for finishing areas with high traffic: train stations, metro stations, entrances, entrances, elements of public urban spaces, rooms with high humidity.
Still, the main advantage of the series should be considered its plastic and artistic properties. Facades made of simulated CreativTop plaster are amazing saturated colors, deep relief surfaces, interesting combinations and combinations of textures, unbroken, fresh techniques, layering, harmony - everything that distinguishes art from bad taste, and professionalism from amateurism. Of course, with the proviso that the process is led by a competent architect, and the implementation is carried out by a skilled craftsman. The material offers all the possibilities for this.
Baumit CreativTop free-form plaster is available in various textures. The grain size of the filler varies from 0.2 to 4 mm, in total - 6 different structures: Silk - 0.2 mm, Pearl - 0.5 mm, Fine - 1 mm, Vario - 1.5 mm, Trend - 3 mm, Max - 4 mm. This allows you to create both smooth surfaces and rough, porous ones.
The final look of the facade also depends on the method of applying the plaster - hand or machine, using a roller or trowel, template or brush. Baumit CreativTop offers 17 application techniques and 28 different surface options. In the hands of the master, the plaster of the selected structure can turn into a smooth, almost mirror-like canvas, a rough concrete wall, a surface with irregularities and a pronounced pattern - everything that has enough imagination. The material easily reproduces the texture of wood, brickwork, tiles, stone.
Various textures are harmoniously combined with each other, complement each other. With their help, you can highlight individual elements of the building, create accents, and emphasize the form. The material's ability to mimic anything allows it to be used as a complement to basic finishes - say, concrete or wood.
Color plays an important role in creating an individual architectural image of a building. CreativTop plaster offers a huge color palette - over 750 different shades. Here, the designer is not limited by anything, any, the most daring color scheme will be implemented with ease. The plaster is tinted in the mass, therefore, with small chips and damage, the defect is almost invisible. An option is also possible with additional painting of the plastered surface with Baumit paints.
Baumit CreativTop plaster is simple and multifunctional in use, it is supplied immediately in plastic buckets ready-made. The plaster layer is applied to almost any previously primed surface: mineral plaster bases, sanitizing plasters, concrete, putties, old bases with polymer binders. Also, this material can be used as part of facade thermal insulation composite systems with external plaster layers. The thickness of the application layer is determined only by the selected processing technique and creative concept.
