Sikkens Alphacoat Textured Paint
Sikkens Alphacoat is the ideal choice for those looking for a light textured paint for exterior use. This paint is often combined with Sikkens Alpha Topcoat for unparalleled protection and durability in outdoor conditions.
Pros and Cons
- Light texture
- Excellent coverage
- Outstanding exterior durability
- For exterior use only
Sikkens Alphacoat is a water-based textured paint containing quartz, which ensures a strong and durable finish for your exterior walls.
Versatile Applications
This paint is ideal for protecting and enhancing various surfaces such as concrete, aerated concrete, masonry, plasterwork, and construction boards.
Matte, Fine-Grained Finish
The paint provides a matte and fine-grained finish that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly elastic, minimising cracks and splits.
Dirt-Repellent with Alpha Topcoat
To reduce dirt adhesion, Alphacoat is usually finished with Alpha Topcoat. This system, consisting of Alphacoat and Alpha Topcoat, offers excellent exterior durability, keeping your walls looking beautiful for longer.
Which brush do I need?
You can use a block brush for the edges. The edges and corners of your walls can be difficult to reach with a roller. A block brush is ideal for precision work and ensures that even the hard-to-reach areas are neatly finished. This results in a uniform and polished appearance across the entire surface.
Which roller do I need?
We recommend applying this product with a textured roller. This ensures the best results in terms of both coverage and texture. Using a textured roller ensures the paint is evenly distributed and the desired texture is optimally achieved. Before starting, it is important to prepare the surface by cleaning and drying it thoroughly. For an even more durable result, we recommend finishing Alphacoat with Sikkens Alpha Topcoat.
After pre-treatment, prime the walls with Sikkens Alphacoat, diluted with 5% water, depending on the absorbency of the surface. A good layer thickness is achieved with approximately 0.25 l/m² of paint. This is followed by a coat of undiluted Alphacoat, with a recommended consumption of approximately 0.40 l/m². Both layers should be back-rolled with a textured roller for the best effect.
When should I use this product?
This product is used to add a light texture combined with excellent exterior durability. Thanks to the quartz content and elastic properties of Sikkens Alphacoat Textured Paint, your exterior walls are not only protected but also gain an attractive, fine-grained, and matte appearance that stands the test of time. By applying Alphacoat in combination with Alpha Topcoat, you create a durable and dirt-repellent system that makes your home weather-resistant and aesthetically refined.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sikkens Alphacoat depends on the application method and surface. For priming, approximately 0.25 l/m² is required, while the finishing coat requires around 0.40 l/m². Always ensure the surface is properly prepared for optimal results.
What is the coverage of Sikkens wall paints?
The coverage of Sikkens wall paints is 9 to 11 m² per litre. However, in our experience, most painters achieve a coverage of 7 to 8 m² per litre with Sikkens wall paints. It is always better to have a little too much paint than to run out.

What is the finish of this product?
The coverage of Sikkens Alphacoat Textured Paint is approximately 5 m² per litre on average, but this can vary significantly depending on the substrate and its absorption level. For highly absorbent surfaces, consumption may increase. It’s important to test a small area to determine the exact consumption, ensuring you have enough paint for your project and avoid unexpected interruptions.
Which surfaces can it be applied to?
Sikkens Alphacoat Textured Paint is suitable for various surfaces, primarily exterior walls and façades. This product can be applied to surfaces such as concrete, brick, plasterwork, and fibre cement. For the best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and stable. For highly absorbent surfaces, we recommend using a primer first to ensure better adhesion and avoid excessive paint consumption. With proper preparation and application, Sikkens Alphacoat Textured Paint provides long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing protection for your exterior walls.
Surface preparation
We recommend using a primer on absorbent surfaces. This ensures better paint adhesion and prevents the surface from absorbing too much paint, which may increase consumption and reduce the durability of the paint layer. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.
After the surface preparation, paint the walls one or two times with Sikkens Alphacoat. A single layer consumes approximately 0.35 l/m². If you opt for two layers, the total consumption will be approximately 0.75 l/m². Use a textured roller for both layers to achieve the best effect and a uniform distribution of the paint. The textured roller also enhances the desired structure of the paint, contributing to the final result.
