Using its expert knowledge and experience of the housing sector, Knauf has enhanced its Presto scratch render by offering it in the Regal range of colours, which is restricted to the 16 colours that are readily accepted by most UK planners and so simplifies what can be a difficult design decision.
Resulting from extensive research and development, Presto offers a scratch render specifically devised for the UK climate and housing stock, where this type of render is a finish traditional to housing in many towns and villages across the UK.
Consisting of a lime-based render with high resistance to cracking, Presto render can be applied to the substrate either by trowel or mixing pump, such as those available from Knauf PFT, and then scratched back with a special trowel the next day to expose the coloured aggregate and to form ashlar lines and details to meet local requirements or other design criteria.
Available in a standard grain size of 1.5mm, the Regal range of colours in Presto render consists of: Vanilla; County Cream; Ivory; Lemon; Cream; Mushroom White; Snow White; Sienna Red; Rose; Cool Blue; Pistachio; Stone; Camel; Steel Grey; Platinum and Silver Blue. Each has been extensively tested to deliver quality and reliability as well as the traditional aesthetic appearance.
