Tex Cote
Meaning
of Tex-cote
Tex-cote is the new revolution in painting methodology used
these days. Homemakers can provide a new and fresh look to their
homes with the industry’s leading spray-on textured coating,
saving themselves from constant maintenance headaches. Tex-cote
is ideal for all home types, be it stucco, brick or wooden.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had put certain regulations
on the use of paint in the 1970’s.
They
prohibited the use of lead in paint since it emitted carcinogens.
However, the removal of the specified ingredient led to the
deterioration of the standards of all paint products by 75%.
Hence the average home needs to be painted every 3-5 years.
It was during this time that tex-cote
came into existence and proved better than siding or paint.
Tex-cote not only eliminated the need for painting the house
after every 3 years but also proved beneficial to the homemakers
in several ways.
Advantages
of Tex-cote
Tex-cote not only beautifies your home but also enhances its
natural look. With the use of tex-cote, existing damages are
repaired and exposed areas such as windows and doors are masked.
Being impervious to sun, rain, wind, and freeze-thaw weather
conditions, they also act as a weather shield for your home.
Extensive research and testing have shown tex-cote to withstand
extreme weather conditions.
Tex-cote
provides resistance to up to 98 mph wind driven rain. They have
also been designed to prevent growth of fungus and mildew spores,
thereby, dramatically reducing the damage costs. Tex-cote is
approximately 12 times thicker than paint and is guaranteed
to resist deterioration, thus, saving the constant repainting
and maintenance costs. Tex-cote
needs to be applied only once. However, homemakers may reapply
it incase they want to change its color.
Procedure
for applying Tex-cote
A certified or qualified installer with a lasting guarantee
should apply tex-cote. There are basic guidelines that need
to be followed. The first step requires the complete inspection
of your home exterior, thereby revealing all kinds of surface
deterioration that need to be fixed during the process. Trenching
is important in restraining capillary action of ground moisture.
Before applying the
textured cote, the entire house should be cleaned using powerful
pressure cleaning action called pressure washing. This process
helps in removing stains, dirt, loose paint, algae, and mildew,
revealing the areas that are in need of patching. These surface
imperfections are then prepared and patched using specially
formulated Tex bond and Flex Patch.
The entire process
results in creating a clean and uniform bonding surface for
coating. The next step is masking. This step involves covering
entire doors, windows, shrubs, lawn areas, and surfaces, thus
preventing over-spraying. Finally, using high-pressure techniques
primer is sprayed on the cleaned surface.
It
then creates a thick, armor-like surface over the original exterior
masonry or wooden surface. Tex-cote contains special Infra Red
reflective pigments that last much longer than ordinary paint.
Built-in toughness and flexibility provide tex-cote textured
painting durability and retain the new look for several years.
Tex-cote textured painting provide homemakers a lifetime of
worry-free home ownership. If you are considering painting tex-cote
is your answer and is always worth the huge investment.
