K Rend Base Coats for High Density Block / Brick / Concrete
Create a suitable background for rendering dense blockwork, brick and concrete with K Rend base coats and bonding aids. Smooth or low-suction surfaces can require additional preparation to achieve the adhesion needed for the render system.
The selection includes HP12 and HPX base coats, R7 and R10 bonding aids, and reinforcement mesh. These products fulfil different functions and should be chosen to suit the specific masonry and surface condition. Assess the background before ordering, then follow the specified sequence for preparation, base-coat application and finishing.
