It is applied primarily on the building facades made of concrete, brick, limestone and other materials, on the surfaces faced with XPS (extruded polystyrene foam) slabs, EPS (foam polystyrene), slag wool (pressed slag wool slabs) and polyurethane as a plaster or mechanically by spraying to imitate Aglay stone. In terms of technical characteristics, FasNatural is moisture-proof and frost-resistant as against Aglay stone. It is more durable than natural stone, reduces structural load eleven times and makes it possible to form any desired composition on the facade. As regards its external appearance it is in no way different from natural stone.
