The sheet states approximately 1.80 m² (p1) and 1.75 m² (p3) at 8 mm; the manufacturer-confirmed range remains 1.7–1.9 m² per bag. A 20 mm application limit conflicts with a 20–30 mm lining instruction (p5); wetting (p1) and dry-surface instructions (p4) also differ. Confirm these details with the manufacturer before work; do not extrapolate coverage to other thicknesses.

Do not apply on gypsum or poorly adhering surfaces (p6). Avoid application during rain, high humidity or wind (p1). “Ponding strength” is reproduced as printed; no test standard is specified. The 10-year warranty covers cracking, shedding and discoloration, excluding misuse and wall cracks (p4).
