Whats the difference between Cement Render with Paint and the Dulux AcraTex 3-step System?
Traditional cement based render is strong; however, it’s also brittle and can crack very easily, especially under Australia’s extreme temperature variations. That’s where problems arise, as cracks split conventional paint, allowing water and other pollutants to penetrate the surface, weakening and deteriorating the appearance and functionality of the coating system. All too soon your great looking contemporary render finish will need timely and costly maintenance. More than just a render finish, the Dulux AcraTex 3-step process is an integrated high-performance exterior coating system, specifically designed to provide strength and flexibility with proven superior acrylic polymer technology. In other words Dulux Acratex won’t fade, is UV resistant, very flexible and will NOT leave any visible hairline cracks. Try getting that with a cement render?
