EnviroCryl grained acrylic finish
Wall System 2 (Mineral), comprising mechanically-fixed enhanced expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation boards, with a reinforced basecoat and render finishes.
Application
It is suitable for use on the outside of external masonry walls in new and existing domestic and nondomestic buildings.
Description
Wall System 2 (Mineral) consists of enhanced expanded polystyrene insulation boards, which are mechanically fixed to the substrate wall, together with reinforcing glassfibre mesh embedded in the basecoat and finish coats.
Once all the insulation boards have been secured to the wall with the mechanical fixings, the first layer of basecoat is applied to their surface to a uniform thickness and a single layer of the reinforcing mesh is immediately embedded (with its concave surface to the wall) and the surface smoothed with a trowel.
An additional layer of basecoat is applied, as required, over the reinforced basecoat to achieve the nominal thickness. The system is left to dry before the primer is applied, where required, followed by the finishing coat.
Features and benefits:
- All systems incorporate a polymer modified basecoat applied 4–8 mm-thick incorporating a plastic coated reinforcing glass fibre mesh.
- Wide range of top coats available.
- Thermally Enhanced Grey EPS insulation.

Preparation | Manufacturer guidanceWeather conditions should be monitored to ensure correct application and curing conditions. Application of coating materials must not be carried out at temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C, nor if exposure to frost is likely, and the coating must be protected from rapid drying. Installation should not take place during rainfall or if rain is anticipated. In addition, cementitious-based renders must not be applied if the temperature will fall below 0°C within 72 hours of completion. The planarity of the substrate must be checked, and any protrusions exceeding 10 mm removed. The primer should be used as required and appropriately selected for the type of finish coat used. All rendering should be in accordance with the relevant recommendations of BS EN 13914-1 : 2005. |
