Relius Tiefgrund E.L.F. Colourless
Relius Tiefgrund E.L.F. Colourless is a transparent, water-thin primer for indoor and outdoor use. It penetrates deeply into the substrate through impregnation, making it highly suitable for powdery and highly absorbent surfaces.
Advantages and Disadvantages
- Ideal for powdery surfaces
- Water-thin and colourless
- Can be sprayed with a plant sprayer
- Sometimes challenging to apply due to it being water-thin
When should I use Relius Tiefgrund?
Relius Tiefgrund E.L.F. Colourless should be used on highly absorbent and powdery surfaces. It strengthens the substrate deeply and halts absorption. Primer should always be applied to untreated surfaces such as plasterboard, plastered walls, bricks, concrete (not in all cases), and cement. Relius Tiefgrund is best suited for extremely absorbent and powdery substrates. After applying this, you can finish with a Relius or other professional wall paint.
What is the consumption per m² of this product?
It’s extremely difficult to determine primer consumption as it largely depends on the absorption of the surface. According to Relius, Tiefgrund E.L.F. Colourless has an average consumption of 170ml per square metre, equating to 60m² per 10 litres.
On which surfaces is this product suitable?
This wall paint is suitable for various surfaces. For absorbent surfaces, always apply a primer first. Suitable for concrete, plasterwork, plasterboard, bricks, renovation wallpaper, fibreglass wallpaper, masonry, interior walls, and exterior walls.
Preparation
Before starting your project, we recommend always cleaning the substrate. For example, use St Marc Degreaser. Regardless of the material you are dealing with, whether it is concrete, wood, stone, or wallpaper, always clean it to ensure optimal adhesion.
Which brush should I use for wall paint?
We recommend using a block brush to apply Relius Tiefgrund E.L.F. Colourless. Due to its water-thin consistency, application can sometimes be a bit tricky.
Which paint roller should I use?
Using a wall paint roller helps achieve a smooth and even finish. No one wants to pick lint off their paintwork. Absorption and release are critical here. We recommend the Toptex wall paint roller, as it consistently delivers the best results. Read more about which roller to use for wall paint for your project.
