Weber.rend MT system gains BBA and NHBC approval
T
he high performance weber.rend MT
multi-coat render system from SaintGobain Weber, the leading UK
formulator and manufacturer of innovative
materials, systems and solutions for the
construction industry, has recently gained
full BBA Certification. This accreditation
meets NHBC requirements for new build
housing where house builders are
constantly seeking modern methods of
construction for speed and cost efficiency.
The weber.rend MT system is designed to
rapidly finish buildings with a frame and
panel construction.
weber.rend MT is a high performance,
light-weight, render system which
incorporates glass-fibre meshcloth
reinforcement and a resin-rich adhesive
coat that can carry a choice of textured
finishes in a wide range of colours. This
modern render system is designed for large
areas of stable render carrier boards
without the need for expressed joints to
create smooth, modern design aesthetics.
Equally weber.rend MT is ideal for uneven
masonry or mixed substrates where crack
resistance is essential. Application can be
by machine spray or by hand with a float
and dry-sponge to achieve a render smooth
finish. It is ideal for a variety of synthetic
textured and coloured finish coats to
produce weatherproof, vapour permeable
protection.
“Achieving BBA Certification for the
well-proven weber.rend MT system
underlines this product’s suitability for
modern methods of frame and panel
construction which is essential to speed the
build process,” says Tracey Dempster,
marketing manager, Saint-Gobain Weber.
“The BBA testing has been carried out using
three market leading render boards, Knauf
Aquapanel, Siniat Bluclad and Euroform
Rendaboard but equally the system is ideal
for mixed substrates or repaired, uneven
surfaces. It is a very versatile render
system.”
The British Board of Agrément is the
UK’s leading authority providing
accreditation and inspection services to
manufacturers and installers that supply the
construction industry. The BBA’s custombuilt testing centre carried out extensive
product tests on weber.rend MT including
accelerated ageing analysis, weather
resistance, impact strength, fire related
performance and longevity to ensure the
system performs satisfactorily for a period
in excess of 30 years. Holding BBA
accreditation assures house builders,
housing associations, building regulation
authorities and contractors of the product
quality and suitability for new build and
regeneration projects.
The weber.rend MT system has been
used by Barratt Homes to achieve the
‘Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year’ in
the Housebuilder Awards for the Hanham
