Uni-Ka® BRAND Veneer Plaster is a single component veneer plaster for application over tapered edge 1/2" Regular or 5/8" Fire-Shield® Kal-Kore® :, 5/8" Kal-Kore Hi-Impact® or as a finish coat over Kal-Kote® Base Plaster. When applied in a thin coat 3/32" thick and troweled to a smooth finish, it provides a durable, abrasion-resistant surface for further decoration. Uni-Kal may be worked to a variety of textured finishes.
Uni-Kal applied not exceeding 1/16" may be used as a finish coat over a 3/32" coat of Kal-Kote Base Plaster for a total minimum thickness of 1/8". Strength of Uni-Kal provides a surface resistant to abrasion, cracking and nail-pops.
Fire ratings equivalent to those of drywall systems can be obtained by applying the corresponding Kal-Kore type and thickness over the same framing member size and spacing with the same fasteners and 3/32" of Uni-Kal.
ASTM Designation C 587.
50 lbs. (22.7 kg)
3/32" on Kal-Kore Base, 600-665 sq. yds. per ton (135-150 sq. ft. per bag). One coat to level over masonry, 300-350 sq. yds. per ton (70-80 sq. ft. per bag).
*Coverage estimates are approximately the same as over Kal-Kore Base Board for conventional plasters.
Uni-Kal is a single component veneer plaster for application over Kal-Kore plaster base or as a finish coat over Kal-Kote Basecoat.
The advantages of veneer plaster over other commonly used partition and ceiling systems include:
- Rapid installation which reduces overall construction time
- Appearance and surface of conventional plaster at lower cost than regular plastering
- High resistance to cracking, nail-popping, impact and abrasion failure
- Mill-mixed plaster components help assure uniform installation performance and finished job quality
- Requires only one plastering material on the job
- Slightly lower in-place cost than two-coat system
- Can be applied directly to concrete block
