What it is

Slurry is brushed on a surface just before new plaster, screed or tiles go on, so the new layer bonds to the old one.

Key points

  • Bonding coat on concrete before plaster
  • Under floor screeds and tiles
  • Sealing surfaces and filling pores
  • Applied just before the next layer

Why it matters

Plaster without a bonding coat on smooth concrete can come loose and sound hollow when tapped.

How Elamentt handles it

Bonding coats are part of our plastering and flooring method.
