Dulux Acratex Coventry Fine is a high‑build acrylic texture coating that gives walls a traditional render‑style finish in a fine texture. It’s water‑based and ready to use, so you can start your project without mixing or fuss. Because it spreads easily and stays workable longer, you’ll find it simpler to level uneven masonry and achieve a uniform textured surface.

Moreover, Coventry Fine cures to a mottled, aged patina look similar to lime‑wash, adding subtle depth and character to façades and feature walls. It also resists water and offers long‑lasting durability when part of a full Acratex system with protective topcoats.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fine render‑style texture — delivers traditional float finish with a subtle, elegant look.

• Pre‑mixed and ready to use — no thinning or special preparation needed before application.

• Flexible acrylic formula — helps reduce cracking over time.

• Tintable to Dulux colours — lets you customise the finish for your design.

• Long “wet edge” — stays workable longer, helping you blend texture smoothly.

• Water resistant — offers good durability when appropriately top‑coated.

How to Use

First, ensure the surface is clean, sound and prepared according to substrate type. Then apply Coventry Fine by trowel or hawk evenly across the area. Next, work from section to section to maintain a wet edge and blend texture. Finally, let it fully cure and top‑coat with an appropriate protective finish such as Acratex AcraShield Advance for best long‑term performance.

This fine texture coating is ideal for both exterior and interior feature surfaces where a refined render look is desired. It helps create a consistent and attractive textured finish that enhances facade depth and character.
