FHICO® Resources
Knowledge. Application. Performance.
Better construction materials deliver their full potential only when they are selected correctly, mixed correctly and applied correctly.
The FHICO Resource Centre brings together product information, technical guidance, application support and educational material to help contractors, applicators, builders, engineers, architects, dealers and distribution partners understand and use FHICO products effectively.
Whether you are selecting a product for a project, preparing for application, comparing solutions or looking for technical information, start here.

APPLICATION GUIDES
Good Material Deserves Good Application.
Performance does not depend on the product alone.
Surface condition, water quality, mixing procedure, application thickness, environmental conditions, and workmanship can all influence the final result.
FHICO application guides are developed to help users follow the recommended procedure from surface preparation to final curing.
Surface Preparation
Understand cleaning, pre-wetting, loose-material removal, substrate condition and preparation requirements before application.
Water & Mixing
Learn how water quality, water quantity and mixing consistency can influence cementitious material performance.
Application Thickness
Understand recommended application practices and the importance of maintaining suitable layer thickness.
Proper Curing
Follow product-specific curing recommendations to support proper hydration and long-term performance.
Damp & Salt- Affected Walls
Understand why moisture, soluble salts and existing substrate conditions should be evaluated before applying a new plaster system.
Repair & Renovation
Guidance for working on old, repaired or previously plastered masonry surfaces.
KNOWLEDGE CENTRE
Understanding Construction Performance
FHICO believes that customers should understand not only what a product does, but also why construction materials behave the way they do.
Our knowledge articles explain important construction-material concepts in simple, practical language.
Why Does Wall Plaster Crack?
Understand shrinkage, substrate movement, water demand, material proportioning and application conditions that can contribute to cracking.
Why Does Plaster Sag or Slump?
Learn how mix consistency, particle structure, water content and application behaviour influence vertical stability.
What Causes Plaster to Shed or Become Powdery?
Understand the relationship between bonding, hydration, curing, substrate preparation and surface integrity.
Why Does Dampness Appear on Walls?
Explore capillary moisture, external water penetration, rising damp, leakage, condensation and other common sources of wall dampness.
What Causes White Salt Deposits on Plastered Walls?
Understand how soluble salts, moisture movement and evaporation can lead to visible efflorescence on wall surfaces.
Why Does Water Quality Matter in Construction?
Learn how variations in construction water can influence cement hydration, setting and long-term material behaviour.
What Makes a Cementitious Matrix Dense?
Understand particle packing, pore connectivity, hydration and microstructure and why they matter for durability.
Site-Mixed vs Factory-Engineered Plaster
Understand the differences in material proportioning, aggregate grading, consistency, wastage and process control.
VIDEOS & LEARNING
See the Technology. Understand the Application.
Some construction concepts are easier to understand when they are seen.
FHICO’s video library brings together:
Our conceptual technology animations help explain how bonding, particle interaction, microstructure, and moisture movement influence cement-based materials without unnecessarily complicating the science.
