Why K Rend?

Established in 1989, K Rend is the UK and Ireland’s market leading through coloured render manufacturer. As a local manufacturer, we are focused on prompt and reliable service and to be on hand when you need us.

The limestone used in K Rend renders is mined from our quarry in County Antrim, Northern Ireland enabling us to ensure consistency of raw material quality which is manufactured on site allowing us to maintain the highest quality standards. K Rend products are accredited by NSAI and the BBA, ensuring you have peace of mind of the quality and reliability of the solutions we provide.

We continue to invest in our in-house R & D function to ensure we lead the market, with innovative high quality solutions which are easy-to-use but provide a long-lasting, low maintenance, stunning aesthetic solution.

The Benefits of K Rend’s Innovative Silicone Technology

The silicone technology used in our silicone render range is unique to K Rend offering a superior product with breathability and water repellency. The silicone significantly reduces the amount of water absorption on the render surface, whilst allowing water vapour to pass freely through the render, granting the property optimum breathability.

The water repellent surface ensures a freshly rendered and aesthetically pleasing appearance for a prolonged period. Additionally, the finish is drier, therefore more resistant to algae growth and easier to maintain.

It’s only one example of the innovative approach our R & D team take to deliver new and exciting solutions which offer trustworthy, easy to use, high quality products to you.

Product Range

As a specialist render manufacturer, K Rend has a portfolio of products to suit any substrate and project requirements. We offer a wide range of textures and finishes to suit the design needs of your project. Our core product ranges are available in 20 standard colours with the ability to colour match to NCS colours if required. We provide products which are optimised for hand or machine application depending on the preference of the applicator and the scale of the project. K Mono, the latest product added to the portfolio has been optimised for machine application, ideal for larger projects and can be applied in one coat, one pass. It offers exceptional workability and market leading setting times making it a pleasure to use but also giving flexibility and time savings to the applicator.
