Reinforcing Basecoats for Render Systems

Our basecoats are designed to provide a reinforced, crack-resistant layer between the insulation and the decorative render finish. When combined with Licata reinforcing mesh, they create a strong, flexible and impact-resistant surface that protects the façade from structural movement and external damage.
