SR10 Silicone Thin Coat Render
What are the key performance benefits of ecorend SR10?
ecorend SR10 is developed using silicone technology to deliver a balance of performance characteristics, including:
- High water repellence
- High vapour permeability (classified as V2 – medium)
- Excellent flexibility for enhanced crack resistance
This combination supports a weatherproof, breathable external finish.
Can ecorend SR10 be spray applied?
Yes. SR10 can be applied by hand using a trowel or by suitable spray equipment, depending on site requirements and contractor preference.
What substrates can ecorend SR10 be applied to?
SR10 must be applied as a finishing coat over a suitable prepared base. It is designed for use over:
- ecorend base coats with a sponge float finish
- Properly primed substrates using ecorend SP10 Silicone Primer
It is not applied directly to bare masonry or unprepared backgrounds.
How water resistant is ecorend SR10?
SR10 achieves a W3 classification for water absorption (low absorption), indicating strong resistance to water ingress while maintaining breathability.
What sets ecorend SR10 apart from other silicone renders?
ecorend SR10 is manufactured in the UK using carefully selected raw materials, with a strong focus on consistency and performance. The formulation incorporates advanced silicone technology to provide:
- Strong water repellence
- High vapour permeability
- Flexibility to accommodate substrate movement
ecorend also features a much finer grain size than many other silicone renders of just 1.0mm, providing an even smoother, finer finish.
In addition, over 90% of raw materials of ecorend renders are locally sourced, and the packaging is fully recyclable, supporting more sustainable construction practices.
What is the difference between ecorend SR10 and SR15?
The key difference between ecorend SR10 and SR15 silicone renders is the grain size. ecorend SR10 is supplied as a 1.0mm grain thin coat render, while SR15 is available in a larger grain size of 1.5mm. Grain size directly influences finish texture, application method and material coverage.
Does ecorend SR10 need painting after application?
No. SR10 is supplied as a through-coloured render, meaning the colour is integrated throughout the material. This removes the need for painting and helps maintain a consistent finish over time.
Is ecorend SR10 breathable?
Yes. SR10 is classified as V2 for water vapour permeability, meaning it allows moisture vapour to pass through the system while maintaining external protection.
