Columbia House Coating

Texcote™ textured coating and elastomeric wall coatings will perform well only when applied in thick films. The Paint Quality Institute suggests that the manufacturer's application rates be followed in regards to film in order to provide the best crack bridging capability. The typical application procedure is to use either an airless spray followed by back rolling, or a long nap roller. A 1-½" or 4" brush works well for smaller areas.

Properly formulated textured coating elastomeric wall coatings have a satin finish. They can generally be tinted and while white is most popular, soft pastels and subtle earth tones are often chosen as decorative options. As elastomeric wall coatings become more commonplace, questions will arise about repainting substrates that already have a Columbia textured coating elastomeric finish. When considering repainting, there are a few basic principles to remember.

Ideally, once a Texcote™ textured  coating or elastomeric smooth coating is applied, it should be allowed to weather for at least one year before a non elastomeric coating is applied over it. Even then, surfaces with textured coating elastomeric coatings should be repainted only after being primered and only with a water based topcoat, since oil based coatings are much less flexible, and can crack severely if applied over the elastomeric coating.
