A lightweight, thin coat insulated render system, M.R.Swistherm delivers all the advantages of external wall insulation to new building applications.
It is suitable for unrestricted use on buildings of up to six storeys and can even be applied to high rise applications, subject to Alumasc project evaluation and approval.
The striking effects at Centrium House were created using the M.R.ST range of lightweight renders.
Specifiers can choose from a decorative silicone top coat for enhanced overall performance or opt for an eco-friendly mineral-based render.
Both can be applied with rolled or dragged surface texture, and in a wide range of colours to complement contemporary architecture.
Swistherm is a popular choice for new builds such as Centrium House as it is fully weather resistant while remaining vapour permeable.
Requiring minimal routine maintenance, it achieves a facade that is highly resistant to impact damage and can be easily repaired if necessary.
Once installed by approved specialist contractors the BBA-approved system has a life expectancy of over 30 years.
