I'd be interested to know too. Have just finished applying Parex DPR Smooth Acrylic Render over our project ... looks great, but groundworkers have left great paw marks over it, and now wondering whether something like Paraguard would have been good, if only at ground level!

Here you go Shevek ... we tested their acrylic paint vs. the smooth acrylic render, and although the render is very fine, it is a LOT more forgiving than simply painting it. Got to say, right now, we are very pleased with the finish ... but I guess time will tell whether it is 'elastic' enough not to show cracks at stress points etc. My guys used plenty of fibreglass mesh though, so I'm confident.

... and final one ...

Thanks Tom ... no ... cills were actually concrete, cast in-situ by my guys (big thanks to Tony for tipping me off on east European skills in that department) , but the stringing was 25mm EPS with corner beading & mesh.

Sorry - didn't mean to hijack the thread! - still very interested in anyone with experience of this Paraguard product!

Anyone know why you're meant to work from the bottom up when applying Paraguard?

"Make sure that applications commence from the bottom of the work area and continue vertically up the substrate, working well into the surface."

Based on our experience applying it I think it's because the liquid stays in front of roller as you apply it. If you worked your way down it work just pour down the wall.

Too late Scrimper but I can tell you now there is no change at all in colour or sheen. It has a milky water consistency and once it dries you can't tell it's there.
