FAQs
Mineral renders are cement or lime-based coatings applied to the exterior walls of buildings. They provide a durable, weather-resistant finish while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the structure. These renders help protect buildings from environmental elements such as rain, wind, and UV radiation. Additionally, they can improve breathability by allowing moisture vapor to escape, reducing the risk of dampness and mould.
While mineral renders themselves do not provide significant insulation, they can be combined with an External Wall Insulation (EWI) system to enhance a building’s thermal performance. This combination reduces heat loss, improving energy efficiency and reducing heating costs.
Sika’s mineral renders are highly versatile and compatible with many substrates, including brick, concrete, and existing render systems. However, the substrate must be properly prepared to ensure adhesion. If the surface is highly absorbent or smooth, a primer or bonding agent may be required to achieve optimal performance.
Proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving a long-lasting finish. The substrate must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and loose materials. In some cases, a primer or bonding agent may be necessary to improve adhesion, especially on smooth or porous surfaces. If there are cracks or damages, these should be repaired before applying the render to prevent future structural issues.
