4. Preparation - Steps
Wall Inspection – Is the Wall a Good Candidate for Restoration?
Analytical Testing – Further Analysis
Structural Evaluation
Repair Defects
Cracked Mortar Joints
Chips or Holes
Remove Dust, Dirt & Debris
Restore Weatherproofing Integrity
Tuff-Coat will Protect From Harmful UV and Extend the Life of the Wall

5. Common Wall Issues
These Types of Wall Issues Need to be Repaired Before A Wall Can be Coated
Blown Brick or Blown Stone
Peeling or Cracked Paint
Cracked, Loose or Blown Stucco
Failed Masonry Tuck Pointing

6. Preparation
The Most Important Factors When Applying Any Type of Masonry or Wall Coating Is… Preparation, Preparation, Preparation!
If the Substrate Is Poorly Prepared, No Mater How Well the Coating Is Manufactured, It Will Simply Not Perform!

7. Surface Preparation The Surface Must Be: Preparation May Include:
Clean, Sound, Dry and Free of Any Materials That Would Inhibit Proper Adhesion of the Coating
Preparation May Include:
Industrial Cleaner, Scraping, Power Washing or Other Means May Be Required
Cleaning & Rinsing
Cleaning Should Always Be Performed Observing Responsible Trade Practices
Make Sure to Always Thoroughly Rinse the Wall to Remove Any Cleaner Residue
