SR15 Silicone Thin Coat Render

A silicone render system is an exterior rendering solution that utilises silicone-based materials to deliver a durable, weather-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish for buildings. This system is highly regarded for its advanced performance characteristics and flexibility, making it a popular choice among architects, builders, and property developers. The components of the British Board of Agrément certified SR15 Silicone Thin Coat Render System comprise of: 

X32 One Coat Base: The base coat provides the initial layer of the render system, ensuring strong adhesion to the substrate, such as brick, block, concrete or EPS insulation. It helps to even out surface irregularities and provides a stable foundation for the subsequent layers. 

Reinforcement Mesh: Embedded within the base coat, the reinforcement mesh adds strength and flexibility to the render system. It helps prevent cracking and accommodates non-structural movement.

SP15 Silicone Thin Coat Primer: A primer layer is applied to control suction levels and colour unification in preparation for the topcoat. This step is crucial for achieving a uniform and durable finish. 

SR15 Silicone Thin Coat Render: The final layer is the silicone render itself, which provides the aesthetic finish and protective qualities of the system. Available in various textures and colours, allowing for customisation to suit different architectural design preferences.
