Type and Use of Render in masonry and construction industry

A render is a premixed application that contains sand, cement, stone or mud brick and other substances. Renders are used very extensively nowadays in the masonry and construction industry all over the world.

Mostly they are used on exterior walls but can also be used in the interior walls of a house or building. Renders can be of different types and their choice by users really depends upon the type of ‘look’ that is required from a finish on a wall. In other words the finish could be coarse or fine, textured or smooth, coloured or natural and pigmented or painted.

K Rend is a brand of the Kilwaughter Chemical Company that has been a market leader in the manufacture of all types of renders over the last 25 years. The company has always focused on achieving excellence through teamwork and innovation and as result today K Rend ranks at the top of the market for renders due to its superior quality and excellent technical service support.

So what really are the reasons for the success of K Rend?

One can say that high quality and extensive product range are the primary reasons for the success of K Rend. K Rend comes with the prestigious Kite mark licence to BS EN 998:2010, which is one of the premier symbols for trust, integrity and quality. Apart from this extensive technical advice offered by the company to customers – understanding their needs and advising them products has been very well appreciated in the industry and earned goodwill for the company.

Innovation is another factor that has worked. The silicone technology used in the product is a case in point. The way it works is very simple. The silicone render has silicone water repellents in it as an integral part of the cement based render system.This silicone technology enables the surface of the render to become highly water repellent and at the same time it allows water vapour to pass through the render and so allows the substrate to breathe.

The advantage of this technology is that the water repellent surface gives the look of a freshly rendered appearance which lasts for a long period of time. The finish is much drier than before and therefore prevents growth of algae and the natural phenomenon of lime bloom.K Render is available in different colours, finishes and textures and users have a wide choice to select from depending upon their needs. Colour swatches are available on request. Most of the variants are a combination of Silicone Thin Coat and Silicone Scraped Texture. While each variant has its own merits, some the benefits across the entire range include low maintenance costs, repellency to water, natural look finish and an extensive colour range. A very important benefit is that the render allows the structure to breathe.

K Render is available with all major distributors and stockists across the United Kingdom. Orders can be placed online or on phone and deliveries are guaranteed.

For first time users the company provides a one day product training course and this is very helpful for the one who are uninitiated and need help.
