How to Apply Rustic Texture – Step-by-Step Application Guide

Why Proper Application of Rustic Texture Matters

Applying Rustic Texture correctly ensures that walls are not only beautiful but also durable and crack-resistant. With the right process, you can achieve finishes that last for years without peeling, fading, or dampness issues.

How Rustic Texture Enhances Sustainability

Longer Life Cycle: Reduces the need for frequent repainting, saving cost and resources.

Weather Resistance: Protects walls from rain, humidity, and environmental stress.

Breathability: Keeps masonry dry and prevents dampness, improving building health.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Before applying Rustic Texture, prepare the wall:

  • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and sound.
  • Remove dust, oil, grease, and laitance with stiff bristle brushing.
  • Repair cracks and damaged patches with Luxture Cemplast.
  • On chalky or dusty walls, remove all loose particles thoroughly.

✅ Good preparation ensures better adhesion and long-lasting performance.

Step 2: Primer Application

  • Apply 1 coat of primer to seal the wall surface.
  • This ensures that Rustic Texture bonds well with the substrate.

Step 3: Applying Rustic Texture

  • Use a stainless steel trowel and fiber trowel for application.
  • Spread evenly to achieve desired groove patterns – vertical, horizontal, or jumbled.
  • Maintain a consistent thickness depending on the grade selected:
    • Fine (1.5mm): Coverage 110–120 sq.ft / 30kg
    • Regular (2.0mm): Coverage 90–100 sq.ft / 30kg

Sumo (2.5mm): Coverage 60–70 sq.ft / 30kg

Step 4: Drying & Curing

  • Allow proper air circulation for drying.
  • Avoid applying if rain is expected within 24–48 hours.
  • Temperature should be between 10°C–40°C.
  • Drying time varies depending on humidity, film thickness, and ventilation.

Step 5: Applying Top Coat for Extra Protection

  • Once Rustic Texture is dry, apply 2 coats of Duravat Exterior Top Coat for:
    • UV protection
    • Water repellency
    • Dust and fungus resistance
  • This enhances both the life and beauty of the finish.

Maintenance Tips for Rustic Texture Walls

  • Clean walls occasionally to remove dust and pollutants.
  • Check for seepage before monsoon seasons.
  • Apply a refresher coat of topcoat every few years for maximum durability.

Conclusion

Applying Rustic Texture is a straightforward process when done with the right tools, preparation, and finishing. From primer to topcoat, each step plays a role in ensuring that your walls stay beautiful, durable, and crack-free for years.

Whether for exterior façades or interior feature walls, following this application guide ensures perfect Rustic Texture finishes every time.
