Weber History 1900 • Both companies Weber et Broutin were founded in France in the early 20th century. George Weber and Jean-Baptiste Broutin made gypsum and lime based façade renders in their factories in Paris. They merged in 1927. 1946 • After world war 2, the company expanded into the reconstruction market. 1970 • It became part of the Poliet group in 1970, and gradually expanded. 1982 • In 1982 Weber et Broutin started to develop on European markets. 1990 • Weber accelerates its European expansion: Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe... 1996 • Weber joined the Saint-Gobain group. The company became Saint-Gobain Weber. 1998 • Take over of Quartzolit and Concreto in South America. At the same time, Asia became Weber’s second development zone outside Europe, with operations in Thailand, China, and Malaysia. 2008 • Saint-Gobain acquired Maxit Group, extending the presence of Weber to Nordic countries and Baltic, whilstreinforcing it in Germany, Benelux, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and China. 2009 • Saint-Gobain Weber, finalized a joint-venture agreement with SODAMCO in the Middle East, extending the operations to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Oman, and opening good opportunities of development in this region. 2012 • SODAMCO is fully integrated in Saint-Gobain group which enables Saint-Gobain Construction Products Sector to develop the various innovative products and solutions offered to all real estate sustainable development projects namely residential or infrastructure projects in the future.

Technical Recommendations

Technical recommendations

Direct applied decorative renders Some common rules need to be applied when using decorative renders to ensure a successful application and a durable finish.

Substrate The main characteristics for a suitable substrate for renders are as follows: 1. Strength - the substrate, including any joints in the masonry, should be no weaker than the rendering material used. 2. Suction - Good adhesion of a cement-based render to the substrate relies on adequate suction in the substrate. Too much suction will cause the render to dry too quickly affecting the bonding. Low suction substrates will not offer enough capillary action to achieve a good bond. 3. Key - to support the render a substrate material must have an open, raised texture or pre-engineered surface to allow the render to penetrate and lock into the surface. The most common substrate types are: 1. Block work â€˘ medium density block work is normally manufactured with an open or engineered key that is suitable for direct rendering. But in case of monocouche rendering block work should be coated with weber.premix SRC-1 or semi scratched plaster coat weber.premix SP-1. â€˘ lightweight block work has a high suction that must be controlled in order to achieve a good bond. The wall should be evenly sprayed in a controlled way with a mist of water and coated with weber.premix SRC-LW rush coat which will also enhance the key. 2. Concrete Usually finished smooth so commonly has no mechanical key and has minimal suction. The concrete should either be bush-hammered to expose the surface and/or coated with weber.premix SRC-2 rush-coat to provide a key for the render application. Concrete curing agents should be completely removed from the surface as these will impair the adhesion of the render.

Substrate preparation • The surface must be clean, sound and dry; free from oil, loose material, dust, organic growth, salts and anything that may impair the bond. • Alignment - check the level of the substrate; as a guide, a deviation of 5 mm under a 2 m straight edge should be achievable. • Make good any bad areas of wall that may not be within tolerance and allow to dry. Use a render i.e. weber.premix SP-1 to level the substrate as appropriate. • Apply clean water to the substrate 2 hours before application and again just before starting. Avoid saturation as this can lead to lime bloom especially in dark colors. • Protection from direct sun during application is essential. We recommend shade netting is erected to envelope the structure to be rendered and also left in place during the curing period. • All holes should be drilled, windows, doors, soffits and facias etc. should be in place before.

Preparation of the job site To emphasize some of the points made above plus some other essential rules when using decorative renders particularly in hot climates, please note as follows: • Scaffolding required at each level, independently tied to allow for continuous application. Sufficient boards are required for safe and secure working. • Shade netting - to prevent application in direct sunlight. Should be left in place during the curing period. • Water for mixing - should be clean and pure water and as cool as possible. Measures must be taken to store water in an insulated tank and out of direct sun to avoid heating of the water. • After application other trades should be aware that repairs to decorative renders often result in differences of appearance and often visible on completion. Protect the finished render where appropriate.

Crack control Ways to avoid cracking in render: 1. Good bonding between the render and the substrate (as above) 2. Appropriate design details 3. Substrate preparation 4. Curing of the substrate - allow 28 days before applying render 5. Curing of the render - for 2-3 days following the day of application with a fine mist of clean water 6. Movement joints • Relieve stresses in the structure • Not a requirement of the render alone • Should continue through to the render surface from the relief joints detailed in the construction 7. Control the panel size • Ensure correct quantity of masons according to the area to be applied • If not possible then work to a straight edge; cut a straight ‘ashlar’ groove at the junction with the adjoining panel

Technical recommendations

8. Glass fibre mesh reinforcement • Easy to cut and fix and can prevent problems later • In-lay appropriate fibre glass mesh into the wet render at positions of high stress - At the corners of openings, windows and doors etc. - At junctions of differing materials

Forming angles • For a natural finish use metal or timber rails with a chamfered edge angled at 45˚C; remove after 1-3 days and apply the return face - must be used when Ashlar detail is specified • UPVC angle beads with Y section can be used to form angles with scraped finish renders • Stainless steel beads and profiles can be used but with scraped finish these will be visible.

Movement joints • Joints in the substrate for reasons of building movement or expansion must be carried through to the surface of the render. • Examples of movement joints are shown in the following pictures Elastomeric movement joint

Architectural detailing Correct detailing is important to protect the render; the following are some considerations common to every application. â€˘ At the base of walls - To protect the render from rising ground water and rain splashes causing permanent and unsightly damage. - If there is a DPC (Damp Proof Concrete) in the block work then the render should not be applied across it. - Either stop the render at the DPC by using a drip bead or if installing a stone plinth or another dense material below the DPC, then ensure the DPC provides a clear break between render and plinth.

Technical recommendations

â€˘ Window sills - To shed rain water away from the render face and to avoid staining the recommended overhang of sills is minimum 50 mm - The sill should extend approx 100 mm beyond the reveal.

Window sill

Renders

Window sill â€˘ Parapet walls - Because of their exposed position, parapet walls should preferably be capped with a coping stone that overhangs back and front faces by 50 mm and angled away from the render face to shed water onto the roof drainage system. - If the horizontal surface of the parapet is rendered there is a risk of staining down the render face and damage by weathering of the exposed surface.

Monocouche renders

Monocouche renders Monocouche is a single-coat cement-based through-colored render with superior aesthetic, protection, and durability features. Monocouche decorative renders are available in a variety of colors to suit the taste of owners and architects, and provide the necessary protection against rain and other weathering elements. Monocouche is supplied as a ready-mix dry material, to which a controlled amount of water is added during its application using a rendering and plastering machine. After application of the single coat material (typical thickness from 15-25 mm), monocouche is scraped to provide a natural rough appearance resembling a natural stone finish. Being cement based and colored in the mass, monocouche is well known for a strong color stability, earning it the reputation of aging better than any other decorative render.

Benefits • Natural stone-like appearance • Water and weather resistant durable decorative render • One coat application • Low maintenance • Time saving by machine application • Quality controlled for consistency and color • Factory blended

Decorative mineral renders

Decorative renders are the most usual method of final treatment of façade surfaces. Suitable substrates include any fine plastered surfaces, unplastered concrete, fiber-cement and other façade boards and fine trowelled or smooth base coats of all kinds of contact façade thermal insulating systems. The only exception is the scratched thick-coat render, which adheres sufficiently enough only to rough wall substrates.

Smooth heritage finishing It is designed to match the appearance of traditional Arabic houses to be used internally and externally on block walls and concrete surfaces.

Rough textured finishing Is a projected decorative render used as an alternative solution to cover all kind of plastered substrates in villas and big projects as well as boundary walls for large scale projects.

Benefits • Heritage old aspect appearance • Durable decorative render • Weatherproof and decorative concrete and masonry • Excellent adhesion • Consistent color finish • Mixes easily with potable water • Available in pre-blended colors

Mineralite

Mineralite The Product Mineralite is a unique factory blended mix of granites, glass, aggregates, cement and special additives. It requires only the addiction of clean water to form an attractive, consistent, colorful, exposed natural aggregate wall finish with a lively, richand sparkling appearance. It is manufactured in 16 colors. Mineralite also provides a durable, impact, crack, crazing and weather resistant surface that consists of over 90% aggregate. Mineralite will protect, decorate and upgrade concrete, concrete blockwork, metal lath, precast concrete, GRC and many other prepared substrates. When applied over normal sand/cement base coats it will help to level irregularities in the background. After application, the material will allow the substrate to continue to â€˜breatheâ€™, enabling entrapped moisture to escape without detrimental effects to the finish. Mineralite is non-toxic and non-combustible. The apllied material resists fungus and algae growth and does not retain surface dirt. It is a specialised form of render finish and will therefore maintain the design integrity of the structure. Mineralite is manufactured by Sodamco-Weber to strict quality control precedures, using state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled equipment and technology. Mineralite is pre-mixed and pre-packaged in bags, thus eliminating the uncertainties associated with site mixes and ensuring consistency of color appearance and performance.

Oman

Mineralite Performance & Quality Mineralite is proven in all climatic conditions. The material has been successfully applied in geographically diverse regions such as Africa, Asia, Middle East, Scandinavia, Europe and within the Arctic Circle. In many areas it is still in place after more than 50 years. Mineralite has helped enhance the appearance of numerous prestigious building projects including palaces, commercial, public and private buildings, private homes, hotels and leisure complexes. Decorative patterns and Intricate mosaics have been achieved using various color combinations. Mineralite has been used throughout the Middle East for more than 40 years. Mineralite is applied with a stainless steel trowel and then washed to expose the attractive, randomly mixed aggregates. It will upgrade concrete in-situ and pre-cast, glass reinforced concrete, concrete blockwork and prepared metal lath. It will create beautiful mosaics and patterns, stair towers, interiors, gable ends, soffits, bridges, subways, abutment walls, exterior walls, boundary walls, retainin walls and walls exposed bt demolition (subject to size). Mineralite offers a durable yet decorative finish with low maintenance.

Mineralite can be applied over a variety of masonry substrates. The primary considerations are that the subtrate must be sound, free from indue movement and protected from entry of moisture. One or two sand/cement base coats (minimum 10 mm thickness) should be applied to level the substrate and horizontaly scratched to provide a suitable key for Mineralite application. A good mechanical bond between all coats and between base coat and substrate is vital. when application of the base coat is to smooth concrete, a suitable key may be created by thorough mechanical scabbling or sandblasting. Alternatively, a coat of suitable SRC, or site mixed Stipple coat, can be applied and finished with a deep stippled texture. Junctions between different subtrates should be bridged by fixing Expanded Metal lath extending 225 mm either side of the joint. A sealant joint or UPVC movement joint profile should be fixed to help minimise the risk of cracking.

Detailing

Mineralite

Substrate

It is vitally important that design details provide adequate protection to the edges of Mineralite to ensure that moisture cannot penetrate to the base coat(s), or substrate. Parapets, window and door surrounds, eaves, damp course and ground levels are areas requiring special attention in this respect and detailing should be in accordance with recognised standarts for external render and appropriate to local climatic conditions.

All flashings, overhangs and drip details must be designed to allow for Mineralite and base coat thinkness of between 15 and 25mm as appropriate. JOINTS Joints which are provided to allow for movement can be used to enhance design. Joints must continue through the Mineralite wherever a joint is provided at each storey height or at maximum 3m intervals and verticals joints must be at maximum 2m intervals. Closer spacing may be needed to control the panel size for ease of application particualarly in hot climates. Consult Sodamco Weber Technical Department for further assistance with joint layout and design. The diagrams illustrate typical joint details present on the majority of buildings.

Technical Details COMPOSITION White portland cement, graded sands, specially selected aggregates, additives and light fast pigments. APPEARANCE Mineralite gives a surface that is approximately 90% natural aggregate. The finished color is combination of a natural or pigmented binder and the blend of aggregates. 14 standard colors are available. FIRE RESISTANCE Mineralite is non-combustible and would be expected to meet class 0 fire rating when applied to non-combustible substrates. WEATHER RESISTANCE Mineralite has low permeability. It therefore resists the penetration of external water and has excellent weather resistance and durability, whilst allowing the substrate to breathe water vapour.

Mineralite MIXING Mineralite should be mechanically mixed with clean water at the rate of 4-5 litres per 25 kg bag using a tumble mixer or suitable drill with whisk attachment. Do not mix manually. Maintain a constant water: powder ratio throughout the application. To ensure color uniformity of adjoining panels, Mineralite should have the same batch number. Mineralite from different batch numbers should be thoroughly mixed together before use. COVERAGE For every mm of thickness you will require approximately 2.67kg per square metre. When applied at a thickness of 5mm, coverage is approximately 75mÂ˛ per tonne. Note: These estimates take no account of wastage and may vary according to the type of surface involved. Undercoats to receive Mineralite must be of good alignment.

TECHNICAL SERVICE Sodamco Weber has local trained distributors and applicators who can provide on-site support. In addition Sodamco Weber personnel regularly visit local sites to give technical advice and support.

Specification GENERAL SPECIFICATION SCOPE 1- Provide all labour, material and equipment necessary for completion of Mineralite surfaces herein specified and shown on drawings. 2- Before application, all concrete, brick, block or other walls on to which Mineralite is to be applied shall be inspected as to alignment soundness and deanliness by the applicator. If found to be unsatisfactory, the Architect shall be notified in writing. Brick and block joints to be well raked out.

Synthetic resin dispersions are now by far the most widely used thin coatings for walls and façades. As binders, they contain synthetic resins and a special selection of graded fillers, and are variable in various colors and finishing aspects. The decofaçade organic thin coat renders are available in granular, roll, and profile texture and have a limited elasticity. The weber.pas deco 340 has an exceptionally higher elasticity, hence the name “Highly Elastomeric”. On the other hand, silicate coating feature breathability (high vapor permeability), durability (UV resistance), a low sensitivity to dust, good water repellency, and the ability to cover the micro cracks on existing substrates. Silicate coatings can be applied directly onto lime or cement plaster and on ETICS insulation system to give a richer mineral aspect which is waterproof. The silicate weber.pas deco combines the advantages of synthetic resin and silicate dispersions: the organic content of acrylic resin provides sufficient elasticity that allows bridging the micro cracks that may appear on the underlying cementitious substrate, however, it is much harder than a purely synthetic resin coating. Once applied, silicates form a structured surface and due to their excellent water repellency, dust and dirt can be washed off much easier.

Benefits • Flexible performance and extensive range of colors • Water resistant • Application over existing or difficult substrates • Breathable, washable • Economical • UV resistant

External insulation systems

ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) exist in Europe since the 50’s. Their use has been boosted in the 70’s with the first oil crisis and the need to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and the CO2 emissions. The main objective of ETICS is to improve the energy efficiency of buildings while protecting and decorating the façade. It is adapted to all types of architectural designs (residential and non-residential, individual houses and high rise buildings) providing possibilities of the modern renders aspects and large variety of colors.

They are composed of: • An insulating material (EPS, mineral wool) glued and/or anchored in the wall, • A render (cement-based or organic mortar), composed of a base coat with a reinforcement mesh, to avoid cracks during setting, or expansion/shrinkage during the life of the render with sun, rain, • A thin decorative finish coat, breathable with a mineral aspect and long lasting various colors

Benefits • Good thermal performance and cost effective solution for both renovation and new buildings. • Easy to install in renovation, saving living space and avoiding disturbance of owners • Adapted to all types of buildings with large choice of decorative finishing • Themal comfort for inhabitants in all seasons • Protection of walls against thermal shocks and prevention of cracks, corrosion and water penetration • No risk of condensation • Eliminate the risk of mould growth.

External insulation systems

In a classical interior insulation, we have different drawbacks: • Thermal bridges due to the slabs between the different floors • In case of renovation, no repair of the external wall • Smaller interior surface of the insulation, which reduces the value of the house • The inhabitants have to move during the works With an external insulation: • No interior surface lost • No need to move the inhabitants during the renovation • No more thermal bridges • New attractive look of the façade • Good moisture management • Good protection against thermal shocks and direct aggression of the weather

S E R U PICT

External insulation systems

External insulation systems Thermal transmittance In order to define a buildingâ€™s overall thermal performance, a calculation must be made that accounts for the combination of the individual components which, when built together, form the whole envelop of the building. For example, a wall construction may comprise an internal plaster on lightweight concrete block work as an internal skin, which could then be separated from the outer leaf of brickwork by a cavity. The thermal calculation should make allowances for all of the constituent materials, including mortar joints and any thermal bridges such as wall ties, as well as the surface/air interfaces. The property which defines the thermal performance of an exterior wall is its thermal transmittance, also known as the U-value (W/mÂ˛.K). It is defined as the rate of heat transfer through the construction wall between the exterior and interior environment. It is therefore important when calculating U-values to know the build-up of the wall construction with the associated properties of each constituent material and their associated thicknesses. The use of thermal infrared imaging is a valuable tool for detecting where and how energy is leaking from a buildingâ€™s envelop. External insulation systems reduce the heat transfer and eliminate the thermal bridges.

Insulated

Uninsulated

External insulation systems

The building’s external wall components have different thermal properties that interact together to define the heat transfer with the external environment. One of these properties is the thermal conductivity, also called lambda (W/m.K), which defines the heat transmitted in a unit time through a unit thickness of the material. A low thermal conductivity indicates a good thermal insulating material. From the examples given in the table, expanded polystyrene and mineral wool have a good thermal conductivity and are perfectly fit to be used in the external insulation systems.

Anti-carbonation

Anti-carbonation paint

Description

Anti-Carbonation has been formulated to confer long term protective and decorative properties to concrete and masonry surfaces. The micro-porous structure of the coating acts as a barrier to the ingress of Chlorides and Carbon Dioxide and other acid gases, but allows the passage of water vapour from the substrate. The elastomeric nature of Anti-Carbonation ensures a breathable substrate and good crack bridging properties, in case of structural movement.

Typical Uses Where new and existing concrete and masonry structures require protection from Water, Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen, Chlorides, Sulfate and UV radiation. Examples: car parks, commercial and industrial buildings, bridges, subways, high rise flats, etc.

Advantages • Easy to clean • Excellent weathering resistance • Single pack and easy to apply • Protects substrates form Carbonation • Highly resistant to freeze/thaw cycling • Elastic nature with crack bridging properties • Allows structure to “breathe” • Water based and non-toxic • Range of colors available (to BS4800 or RAL standards)

Case 1

How to apply scraped Monocouche onto smooth concrete

Smooth concrete â€˘ Little, no suction or no mechanical key In order that the render bonds to the substrate it will require both suction and a good key coat. On the concrete surfaces we could face the mould release agent that could affect the adherence of the render.

â€˘ Crack and debonds Smooth concrete may offer the worst of all conditions for all rendering, with the possibility of residual traces of release agents and both poor key coat and low suction.

Case 4

How to perform architectural grooves ‘ashlar’ cuts finish with Monocouche Ashlar masonry Ashlar masonry is a type of building construction that uses primarily rectangular blocks of stone. Using techniques dating back thousands of years, ‘ashlar’ masons can create walls, arches and buildings through correct placement and varied sizes of rectangular blocks. Ashlar masonry is seen in many ancient buildings, and still plays a major part in construction in some parts of the world.

Ashlar in modern buildings In modern buildings, depending on the building architecture, it is possible to perform the same ancient ‘ashlar’ effect, when using a colored render like Monocouche.

Ashlar effect using weber.pral F, weber.pral K Apply weber.pral F or weber.pral K to the minimum thickness of the render with regard to the exposure conditions. In most exposure conditions the depth of profile of the ‘ashlar’ will be varied between 5 and 10 mm. Which cut is chosen it is important to maintain at least 15 mm of render at the lowest point. In areas of severe exposure the recommended minimum coverage at any point should be increased to 20 mm. The total finished thickness of render should not exceed 25 mm in any application.

25 mm max.

20 mm max.

25 mm max.

5 mm

15 mm min.

While the render is still green (i.e. set but not yet full hardened) immediately after scraping finishing mark out ‘ashlar’ cuts using chalk line. Place tomber battens so the point of the ‘ashlar’ cutting tool TK 11, TK 20 or TAT (see tools page.125 ) will remove the chalk line.

Using this ‘ashlar’ technique the traditional stone masonry effect can be achieved without using the expensive and difficult stonework.

Solution 4

Run the ‘ashlar’ cutting tool along the batten until the specified depth of the cut is achieved. Immediately after cutting, brush using a clean soft bristle brush to remove dust.

Case 5

How to apply a coating over existing paint Dusty old paint With aging, the paint become dusty and not resistant.

Discoloration during time Under UV exposure pigments will be distroyed and will damage the aesthetical aspect of the faรงade.

Paints peeling, humidity, freezing, sun, wind Severe weather may damage the polymeric structure of the paint and lead to peeling and debonding.

Case 6

How to apply render over existing render Render coats are applied in successive layers Render coats are applied in successive layers in decreasing thicknesses and strengths. Topcoats therefore may be relatively weak. It is difficult to assess the strength of existing materials and their bond strength to previous layers.

Thicker and stronger

Thinner and weaker

Stresses from additional materials Additional materials put increasing stresses on the bond interfaces of existing materials.

Increasing stress on bond interfaces from successive layers

Dirty deposits Dirty deposits accumulated over a period of time can form a weak intermediate layer that interferes with the development of the bond of newly applied render.

Poor key Renders need a combination of mechanical key and suction to bond to the wall. Existing render surfaces even though unpainted or coated are usually â€œpalin faceâ€? and seldom have sufficient key to hold a new render.

Case 7

How to refurbish decaying concrete faรงades Corroded rebar affects concrete cover Over a period of time, carbonation will affect concrete cover to reinforcing steel and lead to its corrosion. Unattended this will in time make the structure unsafe and eventually uninhabitable. This effect is especially associated with construction where there is insufficient concrete cover to reinforcing steel.

Inadequate patch repairs Simple cutting out and repair of decayed areas can leave uneven surfaces, and even after fairing coats are used, buildings retain their original, often dated, appearance.

Need to prevent further corrosion Even when repaired, the process of deterioration will continue in other areas if no action is taken to protect the structure from the elements.

Low thermal insulation Old structures that have degraded over time often have low levels of thermal insulation when compared to modern standards and are more likely to suffer from related condensation and damp problems.

Case 8

How to insulate single-skin construction Thick materials required Single-skin solid wall construction, requires very thick materials to provide a good thermal performance. It takes space and the construction becomes heavy.

Poor resistance to weather Even with thick masonry blocks in single skin construction, the need for a protective and decorative cladding is there to achieve proper resistance to weather.

Poor sealing Without careful detailing at openings, water can track around windows and door frames etc. bypassing seals at openings. Good quality and reliable seals are paramount. Simple gun-applied sealants used with cavity construction are often poorly applied. If they fail for whatever reason with single-skin construction, the construction is immediately exposed.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

PRECAUTIONS

Mineral and masonry substrates e.g. lime and cement plasters and cement renders must be completely dry and hard and free of shrinkage and movement. Remove mould oil from concrete surfaces. Surface must be flat and without holes or hollows. For renovation the substrate should be free from old plaster and any loose material and peeling paint. Repaired areas of the surface should have the same strength and hardness as the existing substrate. Apply weber.pas prime the day before to stabilize the substrate.

Unsuitable substrate include gypsum, gypsum plasterboard and wood. On temperatures over 30 °C do not apply under direct sunlight or use shade netting on scaffolding. Always store the buckets in cool place.

TOOLS Stainless steel trowel, thin plastic trowel, low-speed drill and whisk

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

E R U

T C I P Remove the lid and mix with a low-speed drill and whisk attachment. Clean water can be added to aid workability; max 0.5 liter per 30 kg bucket; mix thoroughly.

Manually apply with a stainless steel trowel to a carefully controlled thickness not exceeding the aggregate size.

The texture is then achieved with a thin plastic trowel. Joints should be pre-determined and can be constructed by carefully butt-joining the edges to achieve a seamless joint. Raised or recessed joints must be completely coated.

Tools

Tools and accessories Standard plastering tools are all that are needed for application of any renders and finishes, however; stainless trowels are recommended, especially for synthetic finishes where mild steel equipment can rust very quickly and deposits can be transferred to finished materials. After the basic trowel necessary to apply formless materials, there are some specialist tools that can be supplied by Sodamco Weber that will aid the professional to produce consistent high quality work. Proprietary scraping tools are required to produce scraped finish renders and specialist Ashlar cutters to produce high quality Ashlar features.

Tools

Description A substantial square nosed trowel, the bucket trowel is a must for the tradesman regularly applying ready-mixed synthetic finishes direct from the pail. Blade size approx. 125 x 220 mm.

Bucket trowel TK23 A distinct advantage for closing in through-coloured renders ready for scraping after ruling and leveling surfaces of monocouche renders ready for application of spray texture coats, this long plastererâ€™s knife may sometimes be referred to as a spatula. Blade length approx. 600 mm.

Plastererâ€™s knife TK04A Essential for the consistent and even finishing of monocouche renders the long tooth scraper is the standard tool for work with Sodamco Weber through-colored scrape finish renders when finishing the same day as application. Size approx. 140 x 240 mm. Tooth length approx. 20 mm

Long tooth scraper TK07

Short tooth scraper TK08

Used for the same purpose as the long tooth scraper this float has shorter, scraper teeth, which are more aggressive in removing surface laitance of coloured renders and is particularly useful to use when the renderâ€™s set has progressed a little beyond the ideal. Size approx. 150 x 250 mm. Tooth length approx. 10 mm. The use of a straight edge is essential for leveling and render. This h-section rule is a favourite of tradesmen applying materials by machines and particularly useful for leveling and feeding material from the high points back onto the wall in the same operation. Size approx. 1200 x 115 mm.

Description

Serrated straight edge TK24

Section scraping edge TK25

A new development in straight edges, this tool levels newly applied render as above while the serrated edge removes air pockets from monocouche renders and easily identifies hollows and low spots without bringing undue amounts of cement rich laitance to the surface. Sizes approx. 1200 x 115 mm -1800 x 115 mm. Use of the I- section scraping edge improves the flatness of scraped renders. It is a great advantage when incorporating Ashlar features in monocouche render as Ashlar features can highlight any deviation in the wall along their line. Used to scrape the surface over an extended length, it ensures increased accuracy in flatness along the line of the Ashlar cuts. Size approx. 1200 x 75 mm. Available in two widths this basic Ashlar plough produces square section Ashlar features, maximum recommended depth 5 mm, when run along the top of a straight rule placed along a previously described chalk line.

ashlar cutter TK11 (10mm) TK20 (20mm)

Machine application

Machine application benefits Using machines to mix and spray façade renders brings a lot of benefits • It facilitates application making work less laborious • It reduces the total time of work with a better productivity • It brings reliable results, eliminating human mistakes (dosage, regular mixing, homogeneity…) • It improves technical and aesthetical performances of the render (mechanical resistances, final aspect…) • It improves sustainability (waste and water reduction ) A contractor using machine makes current skilled personnel more productive and shows a distinct advantage. Tradesmen applying external renders must be free to apply their skills to completing external render, not labouring to carry mixed material to the place it is needed. Modern machinery not only mixes and conveys the wet material, but also applies it to the wall, in a way that trades people have the opportunity to use their levelling and finishing skills and take care of the details for a better quality. By mechanical mixing, the properties of the premixed mortars are fully developed and the performances of the renders are better achieved. By spraying the products onto the walls, the adhesion of renders is reinforced, regular thickness is easier to achieve, and homogeneous aspect of the colour is guaranteed.

Types of machines and services Specific machines have been designed by machine producers and improved, year after year, and bring now a very good compromise in term of ergonomics, efficiency and cost. Self-contained electrical powered, can pump long distances (up to 60 m dependent on height and material). Material can be used direct from the pallet and the machine positioned in all types of projects (individual houses or high rise buildings).

Sodamco Weber provides advices, technical assistance, trainings and services related to machine application. Do not hesitate to contact our sales agent or customers services.

Accessories

Using a machine brings competitiveness to the applicators and, therefore, a good return on investment.
