SINGLE-SIDED COATING FOR FACADE


Explanation:

one-coat render


Explanation:
I've tried this stuff. You can get it pre-mixed. Has stayed in place for about 6 or 7 years so far...

Example sentence(s):
  • One Coat Render is a high quality, pre-blended formulation, for single coat application reducing total drying time. For use on solid substrates such as brickwork, blockwork and concrete, in moderate exposure conditions. Grey colour when dry. One Coat Rend
