Description
LBS Silicone Render 25kg
The LBS Silicone Render is a top choice among our silicone-based exterior finish solutions. This polymer-enhanced, pre-mixed render is designed primarily for use on the outer walls of buildings, delivering a decorative and protective finish. It is versatile, adhering well to various surfaces such as brickwork, concrete, render boards, traditional plaster, gypsum, and external wall insulation systems.
One of the standout features of LBS Silicone Render is its excellent breathability. This makes it especially suited for use with insulation systems that incorporate breathable materials like Mineral Wool or Wood Fibre, ensuring the insulation performs effectively while preventing moisture buildup.
The render is also highly flexible, which means it can be used in systems without insulation for a clean and durable finish. Unlike traditional sand and cement renders, the thinner LBS Silicone Render offers a crack-resistant, long-lasting finish, making it a robust alternative.
Available in a vast array of colours, including custom RAL or NCS shades, this render can be tailored to suit individual preferences.
Please note: Custom tinted renders are non-returnable, as they are made to order. We recommend ordering a sample first to ensure you are satisfied with the chosen colour.
How to Apply
EWI Pro Silicone Render comes ready to use. Simply mix the contents before applying to evenly distribute the pigments. For the best results, apply the render over an LBS Basecoat, such as the Lightweight Basecoat (LBS100) White & Grey -25kg with embedded mesh, ensuring a smooth, even surface. This thin-coat system should be applied at a thickness matching the grain size chosen (e.g., a 1.5mm render layer should be 1.5mm thick).
The product is packaged in 25kg buckets and is ready for immediate use after mixing. When applying, start with a trowel to spread the render evenly and use a plastic float to achieve the desired texture. To maintain consistency, it's important to complete full elevations in one session, particularly in warmer weather when the render sets more quickly. This prevents visible joins or texture differences.
Storage and Coverage
LBS Silicone Render should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, and used within one year of the production date. Coverage varies depending on grain size:
- 1.2mm grain: 1.9kg/m², covering 12–13m² per bucket
- 1.5mm grain: 2.4kg/m², covering 9–10m² per bucket
