PREMIUM QUALITY ACRYLIC COATINGS
The application steps of the ADEX acrylic system are important for the successful and efficient project. The use of ADEX certified products guarantees us the quality of the materials and finishing coatings.
ADEX EPS INSULATION
The EPS insulation we prefer is made of rigid polystyrene specifically designed to insulate walls from the outside. It should be fixed on a substrate, ideally covered with a waterproof membrane.
Mounted on the outside of the building, this type of insulation is by far the most effective in
insulating value compared to the panels installed between the structure. By wrapping the
In this way, thermal bridges are eliminated and heating and air conditioning costs are greatly reduced.
This insulating layer has several functions
The great importance of the quality of the airtightness of a home has led us to adopt ADEX’s Hydroflex film, a liquid membrane that is applied directly to the substrate. The insulation, installed on top of it, also provides a support for the base coat, the fibreglass mesh and the acrylic finish.
For every inch of thickness, expanded polystyrene panels offer an insulating value of R-4 recommended by Novoclimat. That’s why we recommend the installation of continuous air barrier materials like ADEX Hydroflex membranes.
Expanded polystyrene insulation boards have superior insulating efficiency.
DIREX SYSTEM
Acrylic coating is the perfect alternative to cover your foundation. Traditional plaster has the unfortunate tendency to fall into pancakes, crumble and crack.
Application according to the DIREX system
The application according to the DIREX system, is designed to adhere to concrete blocks, cement and even plaster. The advantage of this process is that it reinforces the substrate; Fiberglass mesh makes it possible to prevent cracking due to its flexibility. The acrylic finish is never marbled or damp looking since it is 100% waterproof. It offers a surface that blends in perfectly with the rest of the house.

VLS SYSTEM
In the event that the building is well insulated and does not require any additions at this level, this is the perfect system.
The VLS system can be installed on existing furring during a renovation
The VLS system can be installed on existing furring during a renovation, which allows for good savings. The process involves creating a rain screen and forms a watertight envelope to the building that allows drainage and air space to manage moisture. It is a lightweight system that offers a lot of architectural possibilities.

PROCESSING OF BASE CEMENT
ADEX adhesive base is a polymer-based paste that, when mixed with a type 10 portland cement according to a pre-established recipe, constitutes the base mixture. It is designed to adhere to expanded insulation, concrete panels, brick, block, and concrete. A fiberglass mesh is integrated into it to reinforce the surface.
FIBERGLASS MESH
Fiberglass mesh is flexible but strong, it is used to strengthen the system and prevent cracking. This product is treated to resist alkali. It is incorporated into the base mixture when it is applied.
FINISHING ARCHITECTURAL PLASTERS
ADEX Textured Acrylic Finish Coating is pre-mixed at the factory and available in several colors and textures. It is applied with a trowel by our professional cement manufacturers. This is the step that marks the completion of your project and reveals the beauty of the product.
