Product FAQs

  • Can you paint over the MasterWall finish?

    Yes, but you will lose texture.

  • Can you cover over a stucco wall with just MasterWall finish?

    You can but it may not stay as well as you want and it will create a different texture. This can happen because the wall is not clean or it may have paint on it. We will always recommend you put a thin layer of base coat first, then run the MasterWall finish.

  • What is the sq. ft. coverage of a bucket of MasterWall finish?

    The exact number differs due to the varying textures but normally it is between 120 sq. ft. to 150 sq. ft.

  • At what temperature can you apply base coat adhesive?

    It must be 40°F or 4.44°C and rising.

  • At what temperature can you apply MasterWall finish?

    It must be 40°F or 4.44°C and rising.

  • Can the MasterWall stucco finish be made in different colors?

    MasterWall stucco finish can be tinted in almost any color depending on the finish you have chosen to use. Certain products come with predetermined colors that cannot be changed such as Lumia or Aggrestone as examples. If you ever want to check on a specific product's tint-ability, simply give our store a call and reach out to one of our product specialists.

  • Do I have to repair my floor to add Surecrete epoxy?

    While it is not necessary, we highly recommend surface prep for any epoxy product. Without proper surface prep, most warranties will be invalidated. Not to mention you will have a much better-looking finished project if proper preparations are made following the manufacturer's suggestions.

  • Can you put Surecrete epoxy on wood?

    No, it will void the warranty and will not create a long-lasting adhesion to the wood surface.

  • Does Superfoam ICF come in different sizes?

    Yes, Superfoam ICF comes in 4”, 6” and 8", Though we typically recommend 6" for any project. Also, we typically overstock on 6" to ensure we always have enough to supplement large orders.

  • How many square feet of stone come on a pallet of North Star Stone?

    Normally North Star Stone is 120 square feet per pallet.

  • Do you need any mortar for the screw on Affinity Stone veneer?

    No, you do not. The Affinity Stone is a dry stack stone, which uses a screw-on system. Essentially, a mechanical fastener is all that should be required.

  • What screws do I need for the Affinity Stone?

    You should always use the screw that goes with the wall you are putting them on. Simply make sure the screws/fasteners are long enough for the veneer to be securely fastened to the substrate it is being installed on. As well as the correct screw (masonry screws for a masonry substrate) is being used.
