Application training is part of the product
At DEPKA Group, our professional teams provide application training for our products. Each session is planned around the particular character of DEPKA cotton plaster, our decorative cotton wall coating: we show, hands-on, how the product is prepared, spread on the wall and repaired.
We work to the same principles in Türkiye and abroad: savings and clean application. Cotton plaster is prepared with warm water only, it does not drip and it leaves no waste behind.

Educational settings
In schools and nurseries
In schools, nurseries and kindergartens, walls are often knocked, scratched and marked. The flexible texture of cotton plaster stands up to impact; a damaged spot is moistened with water and smoothed with the trowel, leaving no colour difference.
Bilfen Okulları (a group of schools) and TAD Yabancı Dil Kursu (a language school) are among our references. See them all on our references page.
We are delighted to make life easier for our contractors and to bring a natural feel and real savings to the spaces you live in, giving you a more natural place to live.
