Testing Basecoat with Our Friends in San Antonio

What's up, everyone! I wanted to share a bit about our recent experience in San Antonio. As you know, here at TopK, we love getting out there and showing off what we do – taking our products to the streets and seeing how people react! And this time, it was Base Coat's turn to steal the show. We were there with a group of contractors and architects – people who know their stuff and demand quality in their projects. We brought samples of our Base Coat in its dry form, which is our star product! (you know, the advantage of the powder). We also brought the Stucco in [...]

TopK Solutions: Premium Mortars for Superior Construction

Alright, let's talk mortar! Don't let the word scare you – it's something we use a ton in construction, even if we don't always realize it. It's the foundation for so many things, and one type isn't the same as another – each has a specific role. So, forget the fancy names, and let's get straight to the point! 1.

Let's talk stucco, but not just about the final finish – what's underneath matters just as much! Base coat or direct stucco? That is the question!
