K Rend Base Coats for Lightweight Block / High Suction Backgrounds
K Rend Base Coats for Lightweight Block / High Suction Backgrounds
Prepare lightweight blockwork for rendering with K Rend products selected for backgrounds where suction and substrate strength need careful consideration. Highly absorbent blocks can draw moisture from fresh render, making the preparation stage particularly important.
This category includes HPX Base Coat, R10 Bonding Aid and alkali-resistant reinforcement mesh. HPX incorporates polymers and fibres for applications requiring greater flexibility and adhesion, while R10 is a bonding aid for specified preparation work. Confirm the block type and intended finish before selecting the required combination of products.
K Rend Alkali Resistant Reinforcement Mesh provides high strength, good cohesion, excellent coating and is widely used to reinforce walls. This is a genuine K Rend product, beware of cheap imitations!
K Rend HPX Base offers extremely high performance render utilizing high polymer technology and fibres. It is used on unusual substrates requiring greater flexibility and adhesion. It may be hand or spray applied and usually requires the use of scrim cloth.
K Rend R10 is a modified acrylic bonding coat designed to improve the adhesion of K Rend renders to difficult substrates, where the background does not provide sufficient key or has poor suction characteristics. R10 is a low odour, ready to use primer and is quick and easy to apply by roller or brush.
