When should I use surface treatment?

Function and recommendations.

The surface treatment is applied after the joint treatment. It works as an intermediate layer between the AQUAPANEL® Cement Boards and the surface finishing. We recommend to always apply it, to ensure the correct performance of the Knauf Exterior Wall.
