Introducing Baumit CrystalTop – the innovative facade plaster that combines natural beauty with exceptional durability. This premium product from Baumit is designed to meet modern facade coating requirements, providing not only an aesthetically appealing appearance but also reliable building protection.
Key Advantages of Baumit CrystalTop
Natural and Breathable Structure
Baumit CrystalTop is the first-of-its-kind mineral plaster available in a paste-like form. Composed of over 95% natural, inorganic raw materials, it features a crystalline structure that ensures high vapor permeability. This characteristic allows walls to "breathe," preventing moisture buildup and creating a healthy indoor climate.
Dirt Resistance and Long-Lasting Cleanliness
Thanks to its mineral composition and crystalline effect, Baumit CrystalTop is highly resistant to dirt. Unlike plasters with organic binders, which soften with rising temperatures and trap dirt, CrystalTop remains firm and impermeable to pollutants. This prevents facade discoloration and ensures long-term cleanliness and color freshness.
Revolutionary Binding Technology
Baumit CrystalTop features an innovative binding technology that requires the use of a special primer – Baumit CrystalActivator. This primer activates the hardening process of the plaster, ensuring optimal strength and durability. The combination of both products, known as Baumit Crystal System, guarantees perfect adhesion and resistance to external influences.
Wide Color Range and Various Textures
With Baumit CrystalTop, you can choose from over 720 colors in the Baumit Life catalog. The plaster can be tinted in all shades with codes ending in digits from 3 to 9, except for those containing organic pigments (marked with a semicircle). Additionally, the product is available in different textures: scratched with grain sizes of 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm, as well as dragged with a 2 mm grain size, allowing for diverse visual effects and finishes.
Easy Application and Cost-Effectiveness
Baumit CrystalTop comes in convenient 25 kg buckets, with one bucket covering approximately 10 square meters. The consumption rate is about 2.5 kg/m², making it an economical choice for projects of various scales. The paste-like consistency facilitates application, while the perfectly homogeneous texture ensures a flawless final result.
Protection and Aesthetics Combined
Final facade coatings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building but also serve as a protective layer for structural elements such as concrete and masonry, as well as underlying layers like base plasters and thermal insulation boards. With Baumit CrystalTop, you provide your facade with both an attractive look and reliable protection against weather conditions and pollution.
