How to renovate a room with a single coating?

Using one product for multiple functions is ideal when renovating an entire room without having to juggle different coatings. The recommended product: Prestonnett Multipurpose filler. Find out why.

Filling, Joint Taping, Priming, and Finishing—All with One Product?

Yes, it’s possible. Here are some expert tips from Jeremy, a technical specialist at Beissier.

A Four-in-One Coating

Renovation projects often involve multiple tasks: filling microcracks, evening out old textured coatings, smoothing surfaces, or even fixing joint tapes, moldings, cornices, and decorative rosettes. Typically, each task requires a variety of tools and products.

To simplify the process, save time, and optimize workspace efficiency, all these tasks can be completed with a single product: Prestonnett Multipurpose filler.

This four-in-one coating can:

• Fill holes up to 2 cm thick,
• Even out surfaces,
• Smooth finishes,
• Apply and treat joint tapes.
• Fill holes up to 2 cm thick,
• Even out surfaces,
• Smooth finishes,
• Apply and treat joint tapes.

No need to navigate through multiple product ranges. This coating is applied wet-on-wet, lump-free, and offers excellent adhesion on a wide variety of surfaces, including cement, concrete, cinder blocks, bricks, plaster, old paint, and fiberglass wallpaper.

How to Use Prestonnett Multipurpose filler?

The product dilution should be adjusted based on your needs:

• For filling holes, cracks, or chases, a 50% dilution is required.
• For smoothing, a 55% dilution is preconised.

Once prepared, Prestonnett Multipurpose is applied like a conventional coating. Generally two coats are required, with a **24-hour d24-hour drying time between each application.

Additionally, Prestonnett Multipurpose filler can cover up to 5 mm per coat, making it concealing old textured coatings or evening out irregular surfaces. If applying only a 1 mm thick layer, painting can be done just 12 hours later.

As mentioned earlier, this four-in-one coating can also be used for joint taping. It meets the required bonding standard NF EN 13963, ensuring strong adhesion. Three coats are needed to secure a joint tape, with a 24-hour drying period between each coat. A final finishing coat—also applied with Prestonnett M Multi-Purpose—prepares the surface for sanding (180-grit recommended).
