Thin – Coat Render Systems
Thin-coat renders are applied to the wall in multiple thin layers. They are applied either to the insulation layer, directly to the wall or onto a special render carrier board. The render is chosen based on the substrate.
Render is applied to the wall in layers:
- First reinforcement layer
- Reinforcement mesh
- Second reinforcement layer
- Finish primer bonding layer, i.e. primer
- Final finish render layer (colored or paintable)
Coloring is possible with silicone, silicate and polymer render.
Mineral renders, on the other hand, must be painted with silicate, silicone or other breathable paint.
Mineral Facade Renders
Why prefer mineral renders?
- Lower cost
- Excellent breathability
- Used with mineral wool insulation boards
When using mineral renders, you should be prepared for additional painting work. The higher water absorption capacity of these renders can lead to faster soiling unless strong silicone paint is used.
Silicone Render
Why prefer silicone renders?
- High-quality
- Easy to color
- Good breathability
- Resistant to dirt
- Easy to wash
- Water- and dirt-repellent
- Durability, UV-resistant
Due to their characteristics, silicone renders are more expensive.
Silicate Render
Why prefer silicate renders?
- High fire-resistance
- Long-lasting
- Good breathability
- Good resistance to microbiological contamination
- Good resistance to UV radiation
Good price when it comes to polymer-based renders, but no breathability.
