Check the Rockcote System page, all systems over 75mm Hebel Powerpanel have Armour or Clearcoat/Repel The often used 2 coat system (base & texture) still requires Armour coat x 2 They may offer short term warranties, but have not been able to find any info on the link you sent. Re: Mode Facade Vantage(Metricon) - Hebel 16Jun 02, 2020 8:14 pm Armoured mesh has nothing to do with painting over requirement, it is just a plastic mesh which is embedded into the base coat. TDS link I sent clearly tells that it can be over coated with ROCKCOTE Repel, Clearcote, Armour or Armour Flex, for added durability and lower maintenance..

Therefore, it looks like we are talking about 2 different render systems here, but you are correct saying that painting will be needed for some of the systems to extend warranty. I feel that life is much easier with silicone renders, where one coat has both color and provides 25 year+ protection (on top of base coat with mesh). I don’t really understand how they still manage to sell those acrylic ones requiring so much effort and still costing a fortune. One can get machine ready silicone render from Europe for $10 per sqm those days. Your best bet might be to go visit the display homes and walk around in them, and take photos. Get a feel for it in person instead of deciding from the floor plan. There… 1 21461 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
