What is a Rush Coat in Plastering?

A Solid Foundation for Smooth Walls

In the world of plastering, a rush coat — also called a base coat — is the unsung hero of every smooth, long-lasting wall finish. Acting as the first layer of render, a rush coat is applied directly to concrete or masonry surfaces to improve adhesion, absorbency, and overall surface compatibility. In UAE’s demanding construction climate, a high-quality base coat ensures superior bonding and longevity.

Whether you're prepping for decorative plaster, stucco, or paint, a rush coat provides the perfect concrete prep coating to anchor all that comes next.

 

Why Use a Rush Coat in UAE?

From Dubai high-rises to Abu Dhabi villas, structural walls are often concrete-heavy and non-porous — which makes direct plastering ineffective. A rush coat in UAE construction ensures:

  • Better bonding to concrete and blockwork
  • Crack resistance in the final render
  • Even moisture distribution
  • Fast-drying properties for faster workflow

This ready-mix render solution is ideal for both manual and spray applications, making it a time-saving essential on every modern job site.

 

Base Coat Application: Step-by-Step

Applying a render bonding layer correctly is key. Here’s how professionals apply a wall rush coat in UAE:

  1. Surface Prep: Clean, dust-free substrate.
  2. Mix or Use Ready-Mix: Choose a high-quality premix coat in UAE as a solution.
  3. Application: Use a trowel or plaster spray machine.
  4. Curing: Let the fast-drying rush coat set evenly before moving to topcoats.

This undercoat render from Dubai teams seamlessly with topcoat finishes for a crack-free, polished surface.

  • Apartment towers
