EXTERIOR RENDER BASE COAT
Exterior render base coat is used for base coating of external render boards when finishing with a thin layer of decorative render or paint.
RENDER BOARD REINFORCING MESH
Render board reinforcing mesh is a 1m wide glass fabric mesh designed to resist sliding and reinforce exterior base coat and joint filler.
