Render Advice - EWI Bio Silicone or alternative

[ATay]

Hi all,

New member here looking for some advice please.

Looking to render the front, side and back of a single story extension plus a section on the first floor at back of property - approx 60m2 in total and to go on various surfaces - Knauf Aquapanel cement boards, existing brickwork and new blockwork.

I’ve done quite a lot of reading/ research and have spoken to various people. General consensus seems to be to steer clear of k-rend.


One of the guys I’ve spoken to uses EWI Pro Bio Silicone and highly recommended it.

Just wondered whether anyone on here has used it and whether it’s any good/ recommended?

Ive tried researching but not much info/ reviews on it online apart from EWI’s own stuff on the website.

Would appreciate any help/ advice anyone can give me!!!

Cheers pal, that’s good to know.

I’m leaning towards EWI based on what I’ve read/ others have said but was just a bit unsure as most others have recommended parex or weber so wanted to see what people on here thought.

Anyone else used EWI bio silicone?!
