Brick Pattern
Skaltherm Brick pattern
Old plastered houses look like new with Skaltherm brick pattern, plastered with Skalcem S 2000 coloured plaster finish.
It is an incredibly cheap solution, completely realistic, impossible to see or feel the difference between this and a traditionally trowelled finish wall.
The method is just as useful on elements and slabs as on plaster and concrete, thus making it possible to hide seams.
It is therefore possible, easily and inexpensively, to transform a plain old house into an exciting one with a modern trowelled finish in a beautiful and long lasting colour.
Skaltherm brick pattern can be used profitably inside as well, in order to achieve a rustic surface to any wall or room. Before you can say "steel board," fibreglass wallpaper, Hessian and gypsum board are transformed into plastered brick walls.
Compared to traditional shell brickwork, this is a much cleverer solution, as neither skirting boards, door/window casing nor electric sockets need to be removed first.
