K Rend Base Coats are polymer modified and cement based to ensure flexibility and strength. They are normally applied in one coat as a backing for K Rend finishes and only require the addition of water and thorough mixing. Rule off to a flat finish and scratch lightly to provide a key for the next coat.
K Rend HPX Base is an ultra high performance render incorporating high polymer technology and fibres. It is used on unusual substrates requiring greater flexibility and adhesion and combats high suction exhibited by some backgrounds. In some cases the introduction of an alkali resistant mesh or scrim cloth is advised.
