Monoblanco can be finished in several ways to alter the texture of the completed façade. A fine scraped finish provides a neat, consistent appearance, while spray-textured, trowel-smoothed and float-smoothed finishes offer alternative decorative effects.
Key features:
- Specialist bright-white render
- Fine-grain formulation
- One-coat weatherproofing system
- Breathable finished surface
- Suitable for hand or machine application
- Multiple decorative finish options
- Suitable for lightweight and dense masonry
- Can be applied internally or externally
- Supplied in a 25kg bag
For a scraped weatherproofing coat, allow approximately 1–1.1m² coverage per bag at a finished thickness of 15mm. Coverage will vary according to the background, application thickness and site wastage.
As white render can be affected by inconsistent drying or application, complete continuous elevations using the same mixing quantities and finishing method.
Expected coverage 1.0m² per 25kg.
SUITABLE SUBSTRATES
Masonry and walls conforming to BS5628-3 and constructed from the following:
- Concrete blocks.
- Bricks.
- Terracotta blocks e.g. Porotherm*.
- Lightweight aircrete concrete blockwork e.g. Celcon.
- Breeze blocks (clinker).
- Stone/rubble stone.
- Shuttered concrete.
- Expanded clay insulation blocks.
- Clean, sound, well adhered existing render.
- Base coats conforming to BS EN 13914-1
- PAREX grey weather resistant base coats,e.g. MONOGRIS E, PARMUREX or TRADIREX.
- Dry-stacked inter-locking modular wall units e.g.Durisol* recycled timber blocks. *Consult masonry manufacturer’s datasheets. Durisol with Monoblanco is NHBC approved for single skin external wall construction.
- For below dpc applications and old substrates inaccordance with BS8000 - 4 Code of Practice for waterproofing, consult Parex.
UNSUITABLE SUBSTRATES
- Weak mortar or plaster (Gypsum) coated constructions.
- Painted substrates - use PARINTER first
- Avoid applications onto horizontal flat substrates or those with a backward incline as this may affect water run off and may have a tendency to hold moisture.
FINISHES
- Scraped
- Sponge or Float Smoothed*
- Trowel Smoothed
- Spray Textured - from tyrolean to heavy roughcast effect
