Riyadh Finishing Cement PLC (Portland Limestone Cement) - 50kg
Elevate your construction standards with CEM II/A-LL 42.5N Finishing Cement. Specially engineered for versatility and sustainability, this eco-friendly cement is the professional choice for projects where aesthetic precision and durability are paramount. Unlike standard high-strength cements, our formula features a wide particle size distribution and performance enhancers. This results in a dense, low-permeability paste that requires less water, leading to a significantly finer plaster texture. The result? A smooth, high-density surface that is easier to paint, looks more vibrant, and reduces paint consumption per square meter, saving you material costs in the final stages of your build.
