BasecoatEnvirorendHighly polymer modifi ed cementitious base coat applied 3-5mm thick incorporating a plastic coated reinforcing glass fi bre mesh.
Additional impact resistanceAdditional impact resistance can be imparted to the system by incorporating an extra reinforcing layer with high impact meshes. For the highest level of impact resistance a 9mm RendaClad board or equivalent is fi tted on top of the insulation prior to installation of renders.
AdhesiveEnvirobedA highly polymer modifi ed OP cement for the adhesion of insulation boards. It offers extremely high levels of strength , adhesion and durability. It can be comb applied 3 to 5mm thick to the back of the insulation board or for uneven substrates can be applied in dabs up to 20mm thick.
Envirobed should only be used as an adhesive and never as a reinforcing base coat

Applied to Framed Structures
External wall insulation systems are extensively used on lightweight framed structures. The speed at which they can be erected and weatherproofed provides large benefi ts to the developer.Removing the cladding from the critical path, bringing forward the internal trades and thereby shortening the contract period and eliminating the problems associated with brick and blockwork construction. This method of construction has proven extremely popular over recent years.
The details that follow demonstrate the use of the SPSenvirowall systems on lightweight steel frames although the principle operates equally effective on timber frame structures. It should be noted that both the NHBC and TRADA recommend the introduction of a partically ventilated cavity behind the cladding system in timber framed construction, therefore we recommend the RendaClad system for application to timber frame. The SPSenvirowall external render systems provide a weather-tight cladding and providing the openings are adequately detailed to provide a weatherseal it is SPSenvirowall’s opinion that a cavity is not required for steel framed structures.

RenderClad
RendaClad has been primarily developed for applying a seamless rendered rain screen system to a timber frame structure, replacing the requirement of building a blockwork façade fi nished with commodity renders off the critical path. The system reduces overall construction time and cost fi nished with high performing technology renders or brick / stone cladding perfect for the private and social housing newbuild sector.
Previously non proprietary render to boardapplications have been fraught with problems ofcracking and de-lamination. RendaCladprovides a low cost solution which is guaranteed
not to crack and is able to accommodate theexpected settlement and differential movement within timber frame construction.
In addition Silicone render fi nishesgive long term durability and a high resistanceto dirt retention and algal spoiling. Resulting in ahighly durable render system with a minimum life expectancy of 35 years.
Ventilated Cavity
RendaClad has been specifi cally developedfor use on timber frame construction providinga simple solution ensuring a vented cavity ismaintained within the wall structure, therebymeeting the requirements of the NHBC andTRADA. Not withstanding this, the system canbe applied to any wall structure, lightweight
steel frame or masonry construction.
Key Benefi ts
• BBA Approved• Build with Ease• Fast • Lightweight• Crack resistant• Cost Effective• Aesthetically pleasing• Extensive colour range• Fully tried and tested• Material & Workmanship Guaranteed

Tried and Tested
The adoption of new systems can often be adaunting prospect. Specifi ers are wary of carrying the risk of a trial project. With RendaClad however these worries can be truly eliminated. Unlike many other claimants, RendaClad is a true system, it is a full façade system made up of many carefully selected components. Not only have these components themselves been rigorously tested individually but also as an entire system that is one of a very few BBA approved systems
RendaClad has been tested at length by athird party accredited test house this allows the system to be specifi ed with confi dence and delivered with ease.
Tested to:
• BBA• BS476 Part 4 Non Combustible• MOAT 22 • MOAT 242 • BSEN10152 • EN124672
Flexibility, wide choice and practicality don’t often come together under the same heading.RendaClad can however deliver all three.Its fl exibility allows it to be used on almost anystructure.
Thanks to its adaptability, its cavity can be changed to accommodate any unevenness in the wall, producing a striking, uniformed fi nished facade.Furthermore it is not limited to straight surfaces and can be used to create elegant curves. RendaClad provides a range of aspiring fi nishes with a virtually limitless choice of render colours along with a variety of brick, stone and timber cladding options.

Render to Timber Frame
It is not essential but TRADA and the NHBCrecommend a ventilated cavity behind anycladding system applied to timber frameconstruction. Traditional methods using Expanded Metal Lath (EML) with a sand and cement render fi nsh saw a mix of three materials ( timber / metal / Masonry ) which expand and contract differently causing the render to crack. Thermal values to meet Part L building regulation standards for new build properties can be met and exceeded within a typical 140mm timber frame structure. To utilise space minimising the overall wall construction our recommendation is that Rendaclad becomes the chosen solution.
1. Main Substrate: The substrate can be of timber, metal or masonry construction.2. Sheathing Board3. Breather Membrane4. Envirowall Rail System: The unique horizontal ventilated channel is an alternative
to your standard timber batten or metal rail. The channel allows for greater air movement throughout the wall and provide more reliable fi xing of the board, which can be highly problematic on site with “creeping” of the more traditional vertical battening.
5. RendaClad Board: RendaClad Board is a cellouse/fi bre cement board, that is resistant to moisture and humidity changes. It has been specifi cally designed to be highly dimensionally stable thus providing a robust backing to the exterior fi nish.
6. Base Coat-Granotherm G: A highly ploymere modifi ed OP cement. It contains special fi llers to impart high levels of adhesion strength and durability with very little shrinkage. It is applied 4 to 5mm thick incorporating a plastic coated glass reinforcing mesh.
7. Reinforcing Mesh8. Top Coat Primer: Supplied colour matched to top coat. Both acrylic and silicone
are available.9. Top Coat: Can either be an acrylic (Granol KR) or silicone (Granosil) topcoat, both
offer high fl exibility and a variety of grain sizes.

Textured Finishes
Acrylic, Silicone and Granomin textured thin coat fi nishes.
The Acrylic and Silicone thin coat fi nishes are through colour, pre mixed and ready to use organic resin renders which are applied as a decorative fi nal coating. Both renders are used to provide a low maintenance, attractive contemporary fi nish and are highly water repellent. The fl exibility and ease of application of both the Acrylic and Silicone render fi nishes, allows for large areas of the facade to be applied, thus matching the demand to complete large volumes of housing schemes within the programme schedule. The render provides an anti-crack fi nish, ideal for the use on high rise fl ats, terraces, solid wall and system built house types.
Widely used by clients who wish to consider their long term maintenance programme of their properties, where a low maintenance regime is desirable. Both fi nishes are available in a large range of colour options that contain colour pigments which are mixed in a computer controlled, factory environment using high tech equipment, thus providing colour consistency when supplying large projects.
Along with a large colour range there is also an opportunity to select differing grain sizes ranging from 1mm to 4mm. This offers the client a varying choice of not only colours but also textures.
30
31
EnviroSil - Silicone Finish
A highly water repellent through colour textured fi nish allowing the façade to maintain its cleanliness, via the natural cleaning process which occurs during rainfall.
The EnviroSil top coat fi nish contains a safe level of anti-fungicide suffi cient to resist the growth of most U.K fungi and algae, thus making the fi nish remain cleaner for longer periods of time.
EnviroSil is highly vapour permeable making it ideal to use as a fi nish with all types of insulation, especially Mineral Wool as this allows the system to breathe, reducing the risk of condensation. Rot resistant, non-swelling, low stress, environmentally friendly, low odour, very high resistance to environment pollutants and micro-organisms and also UV-stable.
EnviroCryl - Acrylic Finish
A water repellent through colour textured fi nish offering a low maintenance fi nish which is waterproof according to VOB, part C, DIN 18363. The EnviroCryl also contains the same safe level of anti-fungicide as the EnviroSil fi nish, meaning they both have self-cleaning characteristics.Resistant to atmospheric infl uences, very high resistance to environmental pollutants and micro-organisms, and also UV-stable.An extended range of colour options are available in the EnviroCryl range, enabling deeper colours to be manufactured due to its molecular structure, giving it the ability to retain high pigmented colours.
Granomin topcoat system with Nanosil self-cleaning equalising paint fi nish
The Granomin top coat system comprises of a multi coat process resulting in an extremely high water repellent fi nish using Nanosil technology. The Granomin product comes in a bagged powder format including the 2mm grain which is mixed on site with clean water and subsequently applied by the same technique as the pre mixed EnviroSil and EnviroCryl products. Once painted with the Nanosil coating it has the appearance of the 1.5mm grain size similar to the acrylic and silicone fi nishes.The Granomin system is a synthetic mineral hybrid based product which requires a primer and is applied directly onto the basecoat. Its advantage in the UK climate, where the weather is unpredictable, the pre-determined setting process allows for the application to be less reliant on atmospheric conditions and ensures a consistency of curing on site. This makes it an ideal option for those periods of the year where other fi nishes may be less practical. Nanosil façade coating brings strength, cleanliness, luminosity, breathability and bonding. The unique make up of Nanosil means that facades stay looking better for longer.
After setting the Nanosil coating is applied in two coats by brush or roller, once dry this fi nish has a superior water repellency compared to most other fi nishes. During inclement weather it also develops a thin fi lm of water on its surface which encourages a natural process of deep cleaning and fast drying.
A new look in the future
EnviroSil, EnviroCryl and Granomin topcoat fi nishes have a long lifespan but should there be a requirement they can all be easily redecorated at any stage of their lifetime making them very versatile. This offers the house owner the opportunity to change the appearance of the property easily whilst still maintaining the performance of the system.
All of these fi nishes are applied onto a basecoat incorporating reinforcement mesh offering a robust and impact resistant system.

Through Colour Anti-CrackRender Systems
Single Coat ‘Monocouche’ RendersEcorend
Cost effective mineral based through colourrender suitable for all applications to mediumand high density masonry substrates. Ecorend ismade incorporating a sustainable percentage ofrecycled glass and can be applied in passes upto a fi nal thickness of 30mm. The typical thicknessof render is 15mm which should be applied to athickness of 17 – 18mm and then scrapped backto 15mm. Coverage rate 1.55kg/mm.
• Low cost• Limited colour range• Environmentally friendly
Granicem L
Granicem L is a more highly polymer modifi edversion of the above product and is lighterproviding a coverage rate of 1.3kg/mm. It is easier and faster to apply and offering a wider range of colours
• Economical• User Friendly• Excellent coverage rates• Good colour range
Due to the nature of single coat mineral renders these systems cannot be guaranteed against minimal hairline cracking which is normal in this type of system and would not affect its performance.
Two Coat Anti-Crack RendersMasonry substrates (excepting lightweight block)are less demanding substrates than insulation andtherefore the base coat render does not requirethe same level of polymer modifi cation as thosebeing applied to insulation products.
Base Coats
Cement’in C&GCEMENT’in C + G is a dry, factory producedlime-cement mortar which is applied as a base.It is a blend of selected and sieved river sands,grey Portland cement, hydrated lime, admixturesand additives. Coverage rate of 1.5kg/mm

SpeedySlip
Application Guide
1.
Mark out the area to be covered with SpeedySlip evenly with chalk lines for the required height. Use existing lines such as windows and door lintels as starting points when marking out the height and bond.
3.
The pointing process needs to begin immediately after the slips have been installed. Using a 15mm brush, the wet mortar can be spread evenly along the joints and up the sides of slip to seal the joint. The mortar should then be left to dry and the entire area should be cleaned using a hand brush or similar to remove any loose mortar. By fi nishing the joints with a slight groove provides the surface with a natural 3d effect.
2.
The SpeedySlip adhesive mortar should be thoroughly stirred within its tub. A small amount of water can be added to adjust the consistency. SpeedySlip should be applied from the top down starting in the corner. The fi rst task is to apply the adhesive mortar to the surface of the wall. The adhesive mortar should be applied within the height markings using a 5mm notched trowel and combed vertically. No more adhesive than can be immediately covered by slips should be applied. The brick slip can then be fl oated into position and pressed into the mortar. Any air trapped behind the slip should be removed. The slips can be cut easily using a sharp Stanley knife, simply cut along the back and the slip should snap apart.
4.
The SpeedySlip system can be fi nished with full pointing using the SpeedySlip Full jointing mortar. This product is supplied as a paste with an earth moist consistency. Again this productshould be stirred thoroughly within its tub, a small amount of water can added to adjust the consistency. The jointing mortar should be put onto a plastering trowel and worked into the joints with a pointing trowel, then smoothed over by applying gentle pressure

BrickStickThe BrickStick system offers the fl exibility of a brickslip system with the traditional look, durability andfeel of real brick work. Developed to complementthe Envirowall Brick Finish package, BrickStickprovides a slip system with added durability ofreal brick slips. The System can be designed toincorporate any type of brick work so allowingthe new structure to be perfectly blended intoits surroundings.
The system works by adhesive fi xing pre cut brickslips or fi red brick slips to a basecoat insulation board that is prefi xed to the substrate. There is no need for complicated mesh systems or expensive grooved insulation boards. Unlike many other Brick slips systems on the market, BrickStick is supplied with cut pistol brick slips thus allowing clean andtraditional corners to be formed. Fast and simpleto install, the system incorporates a unique methodof using a rope to ensure even placement of slips.The roped system allows the installer to follow thenatural lines of each brick further emphasising thelook of a traditional brick facade.
The Benefi ts
• Highly durable Finish• Quick and easy to apply• Can easily accommodate any unevenness• in the substrate • High impact resistance• Any brick type can be used
37
38
1.
The area that is to be covered with BrickStick should be marked out evenly with chalk lines. Door lintels and windows should be used as starting points. A starting track can be used to provide a level line to work from. Installation should start from a pistol slip corner.
2.
A small amount of adhesive should then be trowelled applied to the wall. Only as much adhesive as can be immediately covered with slips should be applied, a notched trowel should be combedthrough the adhesive before the brick slip is applied. Slips can be easily cut on site using a diamond tipped angle grinder.
3.
Starting above the fi rst course of brick work a 10mm 3 braid nylon rope is inserted into the horizontal joints, this will create a natural looking 10mm mortar joint. The rope will accommodatefor any natural bend in the brick work creating the look of a traditional brick built wall. A small piece of rope can be cut to provide a guide for the vertical joints.
4.
After initial setting the rope can then be gently removed. The joints can then be fi lled with a sand/cement mortar andsmoothed using a pointing trowel. For speed of application a mortar pointing gun should be used. Any excess mortar can be brushed off once it has dried.

BrickCladThe BrickClad system is a tried and testedpre-fabricated brick slip system, which facilitatesthe effi cient construction of a masonry facadequickly and without requiring specialist tradesmennormally associated with traditional masonrywork. BrickClad was developed in direct responseto the Eagan report, as a modern method ofconstruction (MMC) it is ideally suited for allbuilding projects be they refurbishment, newbuild or regeneration.
The system itself comprises of single runs ofmasonry pre-bonded panels that simply slottogether and screw fi xed to either timber battens,galvanised steel framework or directly ontoexisting masonry.
BrickClad offers true versatility, with a variety ofdifferent bonding effects e.g. Flemish bond,English garden wall bond, and features includinglintels, corbels and arches. Special bricks such asDogtooth and plinth details can also be includedin your project with relative ease.
There is no problem to matching BrickClad toexisting masonry, with a wide selection of fi nishes,even the same fascia material and mortar can beused. Ensuring that refurbishments or evencomplete new building’s will easily blend into thesurrounding architecture. Equally the type of fi nishmaterial can vary from bricks to stone, marble,ceramics and terrazzo, ensuring that the systemcan adapt to suit.
The Benefi ts

Application Guide
Make sure the corner profi le is level and perfectly aligned working from the corner, ensure that as each course is installed they remain level. Each strip does not need to end on a stud, the nextcourse simply overlaps and locks it into place.
The BrickClad system can be easily cut on site using diamond tipped angle grinder or masonry saw. A standard saw can be used for cutting between joints. Many special details are available, such as Cills, Arches and Corbels. These can easily be accommodated into the design.
A coloured sealant should be used for sealing around windows, doors and trim junctions. The sand/cement pointing mortar can beapplied easily using a mortar gun system.
Before fi tting the BrickClad system, certify that supporting studs are at a maximum of 400mm centres. Also check that the retaining studs for 100/215mm centres. The fi rst stage in the installation is to fi x the starter profi le above the DPC level to the support stud work.
Ensure that the starter profi le is level. Beginning from a corner, fi x the BrickClad corner profi le to the supporting stud work. Using the appropriate fi xings the BrickClad corner profi le should be fi xed through the rebate on both faces.

Traditional With over 500 different clay brick fi nishes in a range of sizes complete with stretcher, stack bond or Flemish bond options, PanelBrick provides an authentic brick fi nish.
Durable Acting as a durable, waterproof overcladding, PanelBrick is a robust, watertight external cladding system that can be applied to new and existing buildings.
Thermal PanelBrick’s exceptional thermal performance delivers low U values with a minimal wall thickness (just 60mm thick composite panels including insulation).
PredictablePanelBrick offers greatly improved predictability and control during the build programme. Factory-produced panels and corners can be installed in all weather conditions, provided it is safe to do so. It is possible to install the system from mechanical access equipment (for
example, scissor lifts), taking brickwork off the critical path.
Cost
The lightweight, non-loadbearing PanelBrick Cladding system may be fi xed directly to the substrate of multi storey buildings. Its simplicity and predictability of construction will reduce prelims, and its light weight eliminates the need for wind posts and
brick reinforcements – which can contribute to the reduction of foundation, piling and structural frame costs. Further cost benefi ts accrue as a result of a reduction in scaffolding, waste disposal, vehicular access and storage requirements, with up to
700m² of PanelBrick components delivered on one vehicle.
AccreditationPanelBrick has full third party accreditation for a minimum design life of 30 years (BBA certifi cate number 07/4403) and has been tested
to determine its weathertightness for building envelopes in accordance with CWCT Standard Test Methods, 2005. The system has also been successfully fi re tested in accordance with EN13501-1:2007+A1:2009, resulting in a classifi cation of B-s1,d0.

InstallationPanelBrick installation is undertaken by a national network of trained and certifi ed specialist cladding contractors. The installation process is fast and straightforward but the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed to ensure validity of certifi cation, insurance and most importantly the long term durability of the building. On-site guidance, an Installation Manual & Checklist, COSHH data sheets and Operations and Maintenance Manual are available on request.
Starter RailThe non-loadbearing starter rail actsas a starting level, so great care mustbe taken when fi xing. The datum isdetermined and the rail typically fi xed at600 mm centres using appropriate fi xings..
Foaming ChamberExpandable PU Foam is injected toan abutment chamber using a system designedpistol-applicator. Special PUcutters and plugs (also supplied as part of the system) will help to maintaina watertight facade.
First CornerA corner piece is typically the fi rstelement to be installed which, whencombined with the starter rail sets aright angle for installation of the fi rstrow of elements.
Application of Brick SlipsWhere elements abut, brick slips are applied on alternate courses to ‘stitch’ them together and maintain the stretcher bond.
First PanelThe fi rst panel is positioned onthe starter rail, tightly abutting thecorner element. The panel is drilledthrough and fi xed to the substrate(using pre-located fi xing positions).
PointingThe system must be pointed to conceal all fi xings and element abutments. A lime-based Class IImortar is recommended to maintain a traditional brick appearance.

Profi lesBeads|Trims|Flashing
SPSenvirowall source a comprehensive range ofbeads, profi les, trims and fl ashings from a varietyof suppliers and all are available in a variety ofmaterials to suit all the requirements of ourinsulation and render only systems.
Materials used in Manufacturing
PVC
Primarily used in the manufacture of surfacemounted beads PVC is durable and weatherresistant. Available in a variety of colours PVCbeads are light weight and cost effective as wellas being easy to install. Both rigid PVC (DIN7748/1) and non-rigid PVC (to an appropriateshore-hardiness) are used according to therequirements of the specifi c application.
Galvanised Steel
Galvanised steel is used throughout the range ofsurface and full system beads on the traditionalthick coat systems. Beads and trims are generallysupplied powder coated white, although colouredpowder coating can be arranged, and with thechoices of having a PVC nose, again in a range ofcolours, to protect the visible element of the bead.All Galvanised products are manufactured toBS EN10143:1993 and BS 5262:199 1(code ofpractice for External Renderings). A Full range of fabricated fl ashings and window sills are also available measured and manufactured to site specifi cations.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel alternatives are available for allgalvanised products depending on the specifi erneeds and the local environment of the site.All stainless steel products are manufactured to BS1449/2:1983 and EN 10088/2:1995 (Stainless Steel 304 Grade).
Aluminium
Full system stop beads and base beads forinsulation systems using thin coat renders aregenerally manufactured from aluminium. The lightweight nature of thin coat render systems, incomparison to traditional thick coat systems, meansthe trims have different requirements in strength,weight and the level of detail required inmanufacturing. All aluminium products aremanufactured to EN 485/4:1994.
Reinforcement Mesh
Supplied in 45m2 rolls (50m long by 1m wide)SPSenvirowall plastic coated glass fi bre reinforcement mesh is used to add extra strength and impact resistance to basecoats, both in a render only context and when applied as part of an external wall insulation system. The reinforcement mesh should be applied as near to the outer surface of the basecoat as possible toprovide the most effective protection. It is not always necessary to use a reinforcement mesh in render only applications, depending on different specifi cations. Please consult the technical department with any queries.
High Impact mesh is a heavy duty version ofreinforcement mesh which provides a morerobust reinforcement to render only and EWIapplications. Hign Impact mesh should be specifi ed in areas where a high impact resistance is required generally at ground fl oor level.

Angle Beads: Surface mounted angle beads provide a clean straight edge and additional strength at external angles. Available in a range of sizes and colours, used mainly with traditional thick coat applications on both insulated render and render only systems.
Mesh Winged Angle Beads: PVC angle beads incorporating wings made from reinforcement mesh. Buried within the render system within the basecoat this bead is used to provide additional strength and a straight edge at external angles on thin coat applications.
Stop Beads: Surface mounted stop beads provide a clean edge of render when butting up to window or door frames, or any other point of termination in the render. Available in a range of sizes and colours to suit all render fi nishes.
Mesh Winged Stop Beads: Termination bead incorporating a reinforcement mesh wing, generally used in thin coat applications. Apu beads available with removable window protection and sealing strip providing a watertight shadow gap.
Expansion Beads: Mainly required with traditional thick coat render systems surface mounted expansion beads are used to protect the render from cracking due to thermal or structural movement in the substrate. Expansion beadsmust be specifi ed where there is a structural movement joint under the render and also where there is a change to the background substrate.
Overhead Drip Bead: Used at window heads or similar overhangs to prevent surface rain water travelling under the return.
Full System Base Beads: Full system base beads are used at or above the DPC level to form a horizontal starting point for the insulated render systems. Slightly different in design for thin coat and thick coat systems both types incorporatea drip to shed surface rain water away from the substrate. Available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate varying thicknesses of insulation, the thick coat base bead is available with a coloured PVC nose while the thin coat base beads incorporates a locking plate along the front edge for additional strength.
Verge Trims, Fabricated Flashings and Sills: A standard range of verge trims and window sills are available from stock to suit most insulated render systems. Custom fabrications including oversills, copings, feature channels and louvred access panels are also available made to site requirements. A full range of accessories also complement these products including welded corners and jointing pieces.
Full System Stop Beads: Full system stop beads are used as a vertical square edge where ever the insulated render system terminates. For thick coat render applications a PVC nose is available and the thin coat alternative has a return which locks into the render providing additional strength and a water tight seal. Available in a wide range of sizes to suit different thicknesses of insulation.
