Atlas silicone render

[scottbrowne60]

My local merchants is out of eco rends sr15 so to move a job along I’ve bought a tub of atlas silicone render and wanted to know if it would be okay to 500ml of water into the tub

I have been doing. All good, although the base coat is vile.

Be the first time using the stuff so I’m hoping it’s the same process as the eco

If it's just the top coat you'll be fine, although I've never added as much water as that.
As CeeVee said the base coat is horrible.

In normal buckets/tubs - I'd say 250ml tops, usually only needs a drop really - and a good mix.

With eco rend I’ve found 500ml leaves a lovely finish

Is this Atlas stuff any good? Seems to be all the rough arse chancers using it my way.

It's all that my builders supply...
I think it's because it's cheap and always in stock at MKM.
It's definitely an acquired taste.

Mainly Poles I've found.

I think they love it.


I was using Kreisel/EWI on a job and the polish neighbours (who priced against me and were way more expensive), used Atlas in/on their own gaff,

Got talking to them and they said they much preferred it, and in Poland it outsells the rivals by miles.

I think they have a broad range of products though. I also got asked to do the concrete effect last week on an architects house - £75 a bag....


Not used Atlas yet though.

Atlas is made in Poland.
They make four, possibly five different basecoats, but only two get imported into the UK and they're f**k**g horrible to use compared with Krend.

It's definitely an acquired taste. MKM is definitely chancers paradise .
