HEAVY DUTY SYSTEM
NSC3 - LOW RISE APPLICATIONS
If you’re looking for a
heavy duty system with a
traditional finish then the
NSC3 system is the perfect
choice. The steel reinforcing
mesh and extra thick layers
of basecoat render provide
the superior strength and
impact resistance.
Characteristics
The system uses a thicker build up of polymer
modified renders with a steel mesh, through
fixed, to provide a more robust build up, ready
for the dash finish. Used in exposed and coastal
areas mainly in the social housing sector.
Benefits
• Fast installation
• High thermal efficiency
• Maximum level of impact resistance
• Vapour permeable
• Flexible choice of final colour
Insulants
Insulants available are:
• Expanded Polystyrene
• Mineral Wool
