This home had previously been finished in a sand and cement render. After removing the old finish, remedial works were carried out to ensure the walls were brought up to a standard suitable for render application.

Because of the age of the property, it is likely to suffer from more movement than newer properties. This substrate movement increases the risk of render cracking at high-stress locations such as windows and doors, so a mesh was carefully embedded into the render’s base coat. This mesh helps reduce the risk of cracking.

Our ecorend K11 Key Coat Primer was first used to create a smooth, even surface ready for the application of the ecorend MR1 Monocouche One Coat Render.

Why MR1 – Monocouche One Coat Render?

ecorend MR1 Monocouche One Coat Render is a British Board of Agrément approved high performance, cement-based, through coloured scratch render. Developed with Siloxane to have W2 class water repellence, is highly breathable, with excellent adhesion, and utilises our cutting-edge trowel technology which makes the product easy to apply by hand or by spray, in one coat. The product’s through-colour characteristics ensure a low maintenance, and attractive, stone looking finish which is available in a range of beautiful colours.

Why K11 – Key Coat Base?
