As winter approaches, many housing refurbishment projects are likely to be delayed as adverse weather conditions cause setbacks on site. A particular issue with external wall insulation (EWI) projects, Wetherby Building Systems offers the ideal solution with its newly launched mineral render system EpsiCoat Mineral Render PLUS.
Unlike anything currently available in the UK, Wetherby’s EpsiCoat Mineral Render PLUS has been specifically designed to combat the issues associated with installing EWI in damp and humid conditions. To ensure a successful application, external render needs to be installed in the right atmospheric conditions; if the conditions are too wet, humid or cold, traditional renders suffer from extended drying times, leaving them open to damage from rain and frost – a big problem for EWI installations across the UK.
EpsiCoat Mineral Render PLUS boasts a unique formulation, which relies on a chemical reaction during the curing process, unlike traditional renders, such as silicone, which set by air drying. Rainproof in just two hours and touch dry in three hours, the unique render is less susceptible to delamination and wash-offs in cold and damp conditions, helping to reduce delays on-site to ensure projects meet ever-stricter deadlines.
A unique, pre-coloured mineral render, EpsiCoat Mineral Render PLUS does not require any over-staining, further reducing application times. Available in eight popular colours, Wetherby has ensured that the product can complement any design scheme for either new build or refurbishment projects and with no source of lime present in the product formulation, end clients can be confident the finished result will not suffer from lime bloom and discolouration.
