Why Mapei Planitop 110 over cheap gypsum-based skims & fillers? You know the stuff in plastic bags from hardware stores?

🚫 Gypsum’s Coastal Nightmare: In humid outdoor spots like Port Alfred & Kenton on sea salty seaside, cheap gypsum softens, cracks, and crumbles fast from moisture and salt exposure—total fail for exteriors!   
🔹 Water-Resistant Beast: Cement-based Planitop 110 laughs at humidity with low permeability—ideal for coastal concrete repairs.
🔹 Built Tough: >16 N/mm² strength crushes gypsum’s weakness, no stress cracks!
🔹 Epic Bonding: Grips concrete like a pro (≥1-2 N/mm²) for dust-free durability.
🔹 Versatile & Easy: Thixotropic for vertical apps, interiors/exteriors—no sagging.
🔹 Pro-Grade: EN 1504-2 compliant for real results.
Ditch gypsum for coastal wins—go Planitop 110! 💪
