PermaRock Silicone^Ultra
K Finish (Textured Render)

PermaRock Silicone^Ultra K Finish represent the state-of-the-art in external through-colour renders.

Based on a hybrid binder system of organically crosslinked nano-quartz particles and silicone emulsion, Silicone^Ultra K Finish offer a class-leading, self-cleansing effect, with enhanced resistance to dirt pick-up, providing cleaner surfaces for longer than conventional silicone, acrylic or mineral renders.

Lightweight, water repellent, with excellent water vapour permeability, they can also resist aggressive air pollutants. Photo-catalytic particles help actively break down dirt particles which can be washed from the surface under normal weathering, and they contain a preservative against coating deterioration due to algae and fungus.

PermaRock Silicone^Ultra K Finish (1.5mm) is assessed to EN 13501-1 and when used as the decorative finish of a PermaRock Mineral Fibre External Wall Insulation system, the system achieves an A2-s1,d0 classification and is suitable for use on buildings of any building height, including those with a storey height above 11 metres.

Available in an extensive range of colours from the PermaRock Colour Chart, PermaRock Silicone^Ultra K Finish is available with a K (stippled) texture, in 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 mm grain sizes. Darker colours (Lightness Factor <20) are unsuitable for use with EPS systems.

Where utilised on Mineral Fibre insulation systems or PermaRock / PermaRend render systems, these darker shades may also require an additional coat of PermaRock Silicone^Ultra Façade Coating.
