SABULADOR EXTERIOR: special features and application of the sand-effect paint for exteriors from VALPAINT

Contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation
(Paulo Coelho)

A sandy texture might just be one of the best-loved and most highly sought-after effects when it comes to painting walls.
The reasons for that are its tactile nature and aesthetic appearance, which remind us of sand glittering on some idyllic beach, beneath the magical hues of the rising sun.

Highly distinctive, yet neutral enough not to clash with existing architecture and furnishings, sand-effect paints perfectly marry the essences of material and of light for projects packed with personality.

What does a “sandy effect” mean?

Sand-effect paint for walls is a refined tactile finish which, once applied, leaves little “lines” and subtle marks that create highly distinctive visual effects and colours.

Whether used for exteriors or interiors, the final finish will be uneven with a rough texture. This is one of the great attractions of sand-effect decorations: when the light shines upon them, they reveal a kaleidoscope of chiaroscuro and shade, bringing the environment to life with unique chromatic effects.

Sand-effect paint: the colours of SABULADOR EXTERIOR

SABULADOR EXTERIOR is available in a wide range of colours. From fairly neutral tones all the way up to darker, more vibrant shades. It also makes it possible to create surfaces with an immense sense of depth (for example, by pairing a light surface with a darker trim).

And that’s not all. SABULADOR EXTERIOR offers two types of matt finish: a fine and a medium grain, so the final appearance and the tactile feel can be adapted to lots of different project types.

To achieve the colours shown in the catalogue, it is necessary to add the VALCLONE Paint Mixing System to the Primer 1400 and SABULADOR EXTERIOR.
