How to become a trained Texture Applicator 

Course Overview

The AcraTex® range of Acrylic Texture Coatings have been developed over a number of years to provide durable, fast application surface coatings and finishing systems for a variety of masonry substrates.

Whilst the physical and technical properties of the products are stringently controlled during manufacture, the ultimate performance of the coating system relies heavily on correct application with due consideration to substrate condition, surface preparation, coating sequence and prevailing climatic conditions.

AcraTex® architectural coating systems are formulated using 100% acrylic to deliver a seamless coating system for protection of masonry substrates exposed in all types of climates. They provide: 

  • flexibility
  • dirt resistance
  • crack-bridging
  • protection against pollution
  • protection against acidic rain
  • protection against salt air attack
  • protection against water ingress 

Full Dulux®AcraTex® system warranties can only be provided if textures are applied by a trained applicator. 

Since 1990, AcraTex has been leading the way in training of Texture Coating applicators. Our comprehensive three day training course covers all aspects of the texture coatings industry:
