Saint Gobain promises that as well as being rain resistant, webermineral TF, a through-coloured, thin coat, decorative render finish, designed for use with multi-coat render systems can be applied at temperatures as low as 1°C.
The cementitious, even textured render has rapid drying benefits that can prevent wash-off in 1 hour making it good for winter working and achieves a durable, resilient and weather resistant finish for all year round protection.
“As we approach autumn and winter, applicators and developers will no longer be hindered by bad weather,” says Tracey Dempster, head of marketing, Saint-Gobain Weber. “webermineral TF has been especially designed for application in temperatures between 1°C and 20°C making it versatile and convenient, overcoming expensive site delays.”
Polymer-modified webermineral TF can be applied by hand using a steel float and hawk. According to Sain-Gobain it should be applied to a prepared surface primed with weber PR310 to achieve coverage with no need to paint over. It is suitable for application with Saint-Gobain Weber’s weberrend MT Render System or with External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems and is available in four core colours – White, Cream, Ivory and Stone Grey. It is supplied in 20kg sacks with only the addition of clean potable water required on site for ease of use.
Weber’s Technical Department has a team of experienced advisors available to provide on-site advice both at the specification stage and during application. Detailed specifications can be provided for projects and on-site support can be arranged on request.
