Step By Step: Repairing Correctional facility shower walls with Treflite VS & Tigerwall
Correctional facility showers face relentless wear—constant moisture, harsh cleaners, and heavy use. Over time, this leads to cracked, stained, or deteriorating walls. To restore these surfaces, professionals turn to a two-step solution: TREFLITE™ VS for patching and resurfacing, followed by TIGERWALL™ for long-term protection.
What is Treflite™ VS?
TREFLITE™ VS is a three-component, 100% solids epoxy mortar designed for vertical and overhead surfaces. It’s ideal for patching damaged concrete and resurfacing uneven or deteriorated walls. With its non-sag formula and extended working time, it’s easy to apply and delivers a strong, waterproof base layer.
What is Tigerwall™?
TIGERWALL™ is a high-build epoxy wall coating that forms a seamless, chemical-resistant barrier. It’s engineered for vertical surfaces and institutional environments, offering thick coverage in a single pass and excellent resistance to moisture and impact.
How to Restore Shower Walls
- Patch with TREFLITE™ VS - clean and prep the surface. Apply TREFLITE™ VS with a flat trowel to fill cracks and rebuild damaged areas. Let it cure fully.
- Apply Tigerwall™ - mix and roll on TIGERWALL™ over the cured TREFLITE™ VS layer. Its no-sag formula ensures smooth, even coverage on vertical surfaces.
- Final Cure- allow the coating to cure for 16–24 hours at 70°F before returning the area to service.
