Finishes
There are a variety
of compatible finish
materials that can be
applied to AAC. Lightweight
stuccos that are vapor
permeable, yet hydrophobic
so as not to allow water
penetration, are applied
as a single base coat
followed by a color/texture
coat. Other exterior
materials, for instance,
brick, stone veneer,
wood cladding, corregated metal siding, etc.,
can be attached to AAC
walls. Specialized marble aggregate finishes
have been used in a one coat application.
For interiors, a number
of fine plaster products
are available whose characteristics
are compatible with AAC.
They are easy to use
in a hand troweled
or spray application,
followed by a texture/veneer
coat if required. Lime and earth plasters are used over AAC as well as vapor permeable
latex, clay or mineral paints, with great results.
