WHAT’S NEW – BREAKTHROUGH EIFS PRODUCTS.
MasterWall EIFS accessories have been sourced from the best of EIFS products around the world. These products have been proven and tested over time to perform at their optimum when used in a barrier EIF System. The latest addition to this range of superior EIFS accessories are:
PROTECTO TAPE
Protecto Tape is an advanced waterproof membrane, making architectural design features possible, by eliminating unsightly flashings and metal cappings allowing you the freedom to design a continuous render finish. Giving the home owner an assurance of total weather proof detailing in parapets, balustrades and fixing blocks where an uninterrupted monolithic finish is desired.
Protecto Tape is a black, self-adhering, conformable, modified SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) rubberised asphalt tape, with a white polyester bonding layer laminated to the topside of the tape. Used in conjunction with a Protecto Water-based primer, Protecto Tape bonds strongly to MasterWall panels, timber, masonry construction and fibre cement sheeting.
Application is easy and ensures quick weather proofing of your exterior cladding prior to rendering. Once installed the polyester bonding surface layer allows any render or texture system to be applied, thus achieving a concealed weather tight flashing which protects horizontal surfaces and timber fixing plates from water penetration. Tested and proven, Protecto Tapes highly flexible composition assures you of lasting protection to your building fabric without failure. This product will allow you to achieve the kind of architectural designs with modern methods of construction once only dreamed of.
ALLOY RENDER EXTERNAL CORNERS
MasterWall alloy render external corners are quality render trims allowing ease of render application. European design and proven over many years of use in exterior render systems enduring harsh conditions, alloy render trims will not rust or fail. With many products of questionable quality are being imported today, don’t run the risk of using low grade stainless steel or poorly designed PVC angles that can delaminate, break down and rust.
Render adhesion to MasterWall alloy external corners is far superior to that of PVC and stainless steel corners and has no chance of rusting such as coated galvanised externals. Many render trims available are of poor design as a result of imitating interior plastering corners, and perform poorly in the field due to the fact cement renders fail to lock into the angle.
Our pre-meshed and expanded alloy external corners are of unique design to ensure true render-lock externals. MasterWalls pre-meshed corner is designed to embed completely into the render system and therefore cannot easily be dislodged once locked into the render, this is achieved by having a band of quality grade mesh attached over the outside face of the angle. The MasterWall expanded alloy corner has generous expanded lathe sides to allow good embedding of the render to ensure a firmly secured angle. Both allow ease of use and are proven to stand the test of time with out the threat of rust or cracking. Make your job easer with MasterWalls alloy render external corners.
STYROWEDGES AND AZTEC FASTENERS
Take the worry out of attaching products to your completed MasterWall system. Styrowedges and Aztec fasteners provide a complete solution to the problem of fixing objects to the face of your E.I.F.S. façade. Each capable of holding up to 18 kilograms in weight they can be used to secure such things as light fittings, downpipes and even appliances to the outside of your MasterWall system. Installed either before the final coat of render or once the coatings are completed, Styrowedges and Aztec fasteners complete your E.I.F. System.
MASTERWALL FOAM FLEX
Of key importance in achieving a true weather tight EIF System is attention to the sealing of architectural detailing in particular penetrations through the MasterWall system.
MasterWall Foam Flex is a high quality polyurethane expansion foam which when cured remains fully flexible to endure movement found with in modern building structures. Unlike most expansion foams available, this sealant offers an impressive 30% flexibility, hence ideal in weather proofing decking penetrations, plumbing and ducting vents to name a few. This European product contains double the material by volume of many similar products found on the market today.
