K Rend Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh

Product Information

Because silicone render does not trap moisture inside the wall, it is a preferred choice compared to acrylic or cement render. It allows water vapour to travel through the substrate and is then freed into the environment. This enables a structure to breathe - its moisture resistance is why the render is primarily used for external walls. Disadvantages of using K Rend If you’re in a particularly exposed area, you can apply K Pro on top of your render. This is an extra clear, water repellent layer which helps protect the surface. If algae occurs, we provide an algae clean product which is easy to use and removes most common algae easily. My render is tired and dirty, does it need painted?

In comparison to traditional render materials, this silicone is less environmentally friendly. Traditional render, made from mineral-based materials, is less impactful to global warming by an estimated 10%. Plus, traditional render is 30% less impactful to aquatic environments such as oceans, seas, wetlands, rivers, streams and lakes. Top 3 tips to avoid K Rend problems No, it simply needs a gentle wash down to freshen the appearance. If you use a power hose, make sure it is on a gentle fan setting. What does it mean ‘Low Maintenance’?It is very important that these products are not applied in temperatures under 5°C. This is because they hold a ‘working temperature range’ between 5°C and 35°C. For the render to cure, it is also vital that the surface is protected from frost or rain for at least 48 hours after it has been applied. Cost of using K Rend K Rend should be applied when it is 5 degrees C and rising. It should not be applied in very windy conditions, direct sunlight or damp conditions.
