This lightweight formula weighs approximately half as much as traditional sanded basecoat plasters, significantly reducing labor fatigue and structural load. It provides exceptional thermal insulation with a K-factor of 1.74, offering three times the insulation value of standard sanded alternatives. The material is versatile and can be applied by hand or machine over various substrates, including gypsum lath, metal lath, clay tile, and masonry.
