Protecting Modern Facades with Reinforced Render

Insulated hollow bricks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks or a mixture of both are often used for wall construction today for the sake of energy efficiency. Applying a traditional plaster on these materials may quickly lead to cracks in the facade. Our video shows why and how to prevent this by using a reinforced render modified with VINNAPAS®.

A reinforced render is a plaster coat strengthened by an embedded fabric such as a glass-fiber mesh: this decoupling layer prevents stresses originating in the substrate from propagating to the finishing plaster. For excellent performance, reinforced render can be modified with VINNAPAS®: the polymer significantly improves the flexibility and adhesion of the reinforced render to the substrate and fiber mesh, resulting in a durable render system.

Watch our video to learn more about reinforced render, its benefits and why it is often needed in today's construction.

If Walls Could Speak

Walls define rooms, create boundaries and offer protection. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering what goes on behind them. But do we know what goes into them? We usually don’t give this a second thought. And yet, what walls are made of is important for our safety, our well-being and even for climate protection.

Rendering Protection

Mortars and renders have to cope with major daily stress in the form of heat, cold, moisture, and physical impact. These stress factors can lead to algal growth, mold and cracking. VINNAPAS® dispersible polymer powders enhance the flexibility, adhesion and hydrophobic properties of mortars and renders and so effectively prevent such damage.
