K Rend Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh

Product Information

No, it simply needs a gentle wash down to freshen the appearance. If you use a power hose, make sure it is on a gentle fan setting. What does it mean ‘Low Maintenance’? Because silicone render does not trap moisture inside the wall, it is a preferred choice compared to acrylic or cement render. It allows water vapour to travel through the substrate and is then freed into the environment. This enables a structure to breathe - its moisture resistance is why the render is primarily used for external walls. Disadvantages of using K Rend K Rend are part of Kilwaughter Minerals and are the largest UK independent silicone render manufacturer with over 30 year’s experience in the construction industry. What is K Rend?

K Rend should be applied when it is 5 degrees C and rising. It should not be applied in very windy conditions, direct sunlight or damp conditions.If you’re in a particularly exposed area, you can apply K Pro on top of your render. This is an extra clear, water repellent layer which helps protect the surface. If algae occurs, we provide an algae clean product which is easy to use and removes most common algae easily. My render is tired and dirty, does it need painted? It is very important that these products are not applied in temperatures under 5°C. This is because they hold a ‘working temperature range’ between 5°C and 35°C. For the render to cure, it is also vital that the surface is protected from frost or rain for at least 48 hours after it has been applied. Cost of using K Rend

Although this render is fairly easy to maintain, it can easily get dirty and is difficult to clean. Particularly for properties close to the coast, it is prone to algae growth and mould. This does cause its appearance to look unkempt, but you can buy special K Rend cleaner products to maintain its natural finish. Cannot install K Rend in certain temperatures As it cannot be installed in temperatures below 5°C, if you decide to install K Rend render in wet and freezing temperatures, it could delay the drying time. The bonding of the render may also be affected. K Rend tools and equipment It is thought that a well-fitted K Rend render can last for quite a while - its materials come with a British Board of Agrément (BBA) 30-year guarantee. You will also not have to paint it as much as you would a traditional render, but you can certainly paint it if you want to. It is recommended to use K Rend paint to get the job done and avoid causing any issues with the k render system. Resistant to water In comparison to traditional render materials, this silicone is less environmentally friendly. Traditional render, made from mineral-based materials, is less impactful to global warming by an estimated 10%. Plus, traditional render is 30% less impactful to aquatic environments such as oceans, seas, wetlands, rivers, streams and lakes. Top 3 tips to avoid K Rend problems This is known as algae which occurs naturally in the air. Some geographic areas are more prone to it than others. The best way to stop algae occurring is to keep it washed down.It can be hand applied or with a spray machine – depending on the product, technical specification and applicators choice. Do you apply the product also? K Rend is a coloured render which is a replacement for the traditional sand and cement rendering of external walls. The render includes a pigment which means painting is not needed. Considered to be the largest UK independent manufacturer of silicone render, K Rend is part of a company called Kilwaughter Minerals which has more than 30 years of experience in construction. The process of k rendering is where a house is rendered using K Rend materials. Advantages of using K Rend
