QR1 Quartz Render
ecorend QR1 Quartz Render is a high-performance, ready-mixed render that has been meticulously engineered to provide a waterproof, flawless finish while ensuring long-lasting protection for your surfaces, even in high-impact areas.
Technologically Advanced Quartz Render
QR1 Quartz Render is designed with a focus on both aesthetics and performance. With a water vapour permeability rating of V2 (Medium), it strikes an ideal balance between allowing moisture to escape and preventing water ingress, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
Reliable Water Resistance
Boasting a low water absorption rating of W3, QR1 ensures that moisture is effectively repelled, safeguarding your surfaces from the detrimental effects of water exposure. This exceptional water resistance ensures the render’s longevity, even in damp or high-moisture environments such as wet rooms.
Superior Adhesion
QR1 Quartz Render is extremely adhesive, with an impressive rating of 0.893 N/mm². This strong bond ensures that the render adheres securely to a variety of substrates, providing a stable foundation for a lasting finish without cracking that endures the test of time.
Thermal Efficiency
With a low thermal conductivity of 1.21 W/mK, QR1 provides effective insulation, contributing to energy efficiency in your building. This means not only a more comfortable environment but also potential cost savings in heating and cooling.
Aesthetic Excellence

What finishes can be achieved with ecorend QR1 Quartz Render?
Sometimes known as mosaic render, quartz render is a pioneering thin rendering solution meticulously formulated with high-grade quartz aggregates.
ecorend QR1 Quartz Render delivers a stone-effect, textured render finish that provides both decorative appeal and functional performance. The quartz aggregate creates a uniform, high-impact resistant surface, making it ideal for areas such as basements, retaining walls, planter boxes, swimming surrounds and below DPC applications where durability is critical.
With its flexible formulation, ecorend quartz render also offers enhanced crack resistance and flexibility, accommodating the natural movement of building substrates without compromising performance. This flexibility minimises the risk of cracking and ensures a flawless finish.
Does quartz render need painting?
No, ecorend QR1 Quartz Render does not need painting. It is a through coloured decorative finish, meaning the colour is integrated within the material itself. This removes the need for painting and reduces long-term maintenance, as there is no risk of paint peeling or flaking over time. It also ensures a consistent finish across the façade, even in high-wear areas.
What makes ecorend QR1 Quartz Render different from other quartz renders?
ecorend QR1 Quartz Render is engineered for performance, durability and sustainability:
- UK manufactured using premium quality raw materials
- Supplied in 100% recyclable packaging, supporting sustainable construction practices
- High-performance formulation with excellent adhesion (0.893 N/mm²) and low water absorption (W3)
- Designed for high-impact, high-moisture environments
This combination of technical performance and responsible manufacturing sets QR1 apart from standard quartz render products.
Can ecorend QR1 Quartz Render be spray applied?
No, ecorend QR1 Quartz Render is designed for hand application using a trowel and hawk to achieve the correct textured finish and compaction. This ensures optimal performance, adhesion and surface consistency.
What base coat should I use with QR1 Quartz Render?
For best results, ecorend QR1 Quartz Render should be applied as a full system with our W2 Waterproofing Bonding Coat for advanced moisture and waterproof resistance, followed by the FX4 One Coat Base reinforced with high-strength, alkali-resistant fibre mesh for added stability and impact resistance.
Does ecorend QR1 Quartz Render use recyclable packaging?
Yes, ecorend QR1 Quartz Render is supplied in fully recyclable packaging, supporting environmentally responsible construction and reducing site waste.
What maintenance is required for quartz render finishes?
Quartz render systems are low maintenance, typically only requiring:
- Occasional cleaning to remove dirt or organic growth
- Inspection of high-impact areas over time
- No repainting due to through coloured finish
