New Aqualine deep run gutter makes it six
Alumasc have introduced a sixth Aqualine extruded gutter profile to their existing range.
Alumasc's M.R.S7 Polymer Cement Spar Dash Render finish was specified for the external refurbishment of the properties due to its high durability and aesthetic qualities.
M.R.S7 is applied in one-coat and due to its polymer and fibre reinforcement, has greater bond strength than traditional sand and cement renders, making it less susceptible to cracking and crazing.
M.R.S7 has earned BBA approval and is covered by Certificate 93/2895.
The Alumasc technical team worked closely with the Council to formulate a suitable design solution for the external refurbishment of the properties.
Complete renewal of the facade was required, with the removal of existing damaged render followed by the application of M.R.S3 dubbing render and glass fibre scrim reinforcement to support the finish coat.
M.R.S7 completed the new facade with Luxovite aggregate dash, resulting in a weathertight, attractive finish to the properties.
A wide selection of M.R.S7 render colours are available along with a choice of spar dash aggregates, allowing the specification of a suitable design to blend into the surrounding built environment.
