25kg 1m2 per bag @ 15mm Monocouche XF is a through colour cement based render system manufactured for direct (one coat) installation onto suitable open faced 7kn - 10kn general purpose concrete blockwork. The substrate should be constructed with a sufficient movement control design containing bed joint reinforcement and or expansion joints as per the specific blockwork manufacturers guidelines and in conjunction with BS 5628-3 Code of practice for use of masonry and BS 6093 Code of practice for design of joints and jointing in building construction. MonoMesh XF alkali resistant mesh is imbedded into the material to surround openings and absorb stress. Guidance on constructing to receive Monocouche XF in one coat can be found within the XF Construction Guide. The Monocouche XF system can also be installed onto other block types, brickwork, stonework, and most masonry construction with the support of MonoBase XF polymer modified base coat and MonoMesh XF alkali resistant mesh applied in what we advise to be the best practices build up specification. The addition of the MonoBase XF and MonoMesh XF layer provides greater flexibility and resistance to movement within the substrate whilst increasing protection against water penetration and weathering. Key System Benefits Available in 19 stunning colours Low maintenance without the need to paint Flexibility to achieve most recognised styles of render finish Hand or machine applied enabling large areas to be installed Weatherproof and durable whilst allowing the structure to breathe Ready mixed with the addition of water the only requirement to install Greatly reduced program at site allowing other trades to continue earlier and scaffolding to be off hired sooner Substrate Preperation Masonry substrates should be stable, clean, suitably dry and free from dust and loose material. Newly constructed masonry should be allowed to dry sufficiently before render system install. Mortar jointing should be flushed level with the surrounding blockwork/masonry. Levelling preparation should be carried out with MonoBase XF. Direct contact with the masonry should be made without contamination. Do not apply to gypsum plaster or previously painted surfaces. Do not apply in temperatures below 5c, above 30c and before a frost.
