Yes, as X-Bond is a hand trowelled product, trowel marks, movement, texture and colour variation are all a natural characteristic of the X-Bond finish, and is what makes this finish so unique. Each installer has a different trowel hand and the finish of X-Bond can differ from project to project.
-
X-Bond has excellent water resistance properties. As it is a concrete coating, when installed in wet areas a waterproofing membrane is required to be installed first to any wet areas by a professional waterproofer. A certificate of compliance for waterproofing is required prior to any X-Bond installation. Alternatively you can speak to your X-Bond Installer about using our own Liquid Waterproof Membrane which works excellently with X-Bond as it has advanced anti-fracture and waterproof properties.

Unlike other Microcement toppings, X-Bond is suitable for a range of external applications including building facades, footpaths, balconies/terraces, pool decks and pools (you heard us right, X-Bond can even be applied inside a pool!)
