In April 2024, a multi-million-pound new build project commenced for the building of an exclusive private residence in Northumberland, built using concrete blockwork with a vented metal top hat section that the Multi-Rend boards were installed into. The local stockist Durham Render Centre supplied our Multi-Rend render carrier board: “We have supplied the Multi-Rend board for about 10 years now without any product issues reported by our customers. The added BBA certificate it comes with is always a plus.” – Nick Cheek, Owner, Durham Render Centre Ltd.

Multi-rend was specified and chosen for this project, due to a number of the board's extensive benefits:
• BBA certified
• Meets widespread regulations
• Lightweight – Easy to carry on-site without the use of excess machinery
• Easy to fit and fix
• Can be ‘scored & snapped’ for quick cutting to save on time and equipment
• Ability to withstand external weather conditions during construction phase
• Perfect finish – could use a coloured silicone render finish

On a project of this scale there are hundreds of boards used and therefore the ease of use of the board becomes paramount for the installer. “We like the fact the boards are much lighter weight and easier to cut than other render boards on the market. You can cut them using a Stanley Knife as opposed to being sawn.” – Matty Proctor – Owner – MJ Proctor Plastering Ltd.

For us, the standout feature of this project is the unique design of the property in keeping with its exclusive location. The clean lines of the property are accentuated by the clean finish of the silicone render, and it truly shows how our render carrier boards can be used with a vented cavity system to give life to such a bold architectural design.
