Dry-dashing render spars continue to be a popular decorative finish, specified for appearance as well as offering great performance and value for money.

Whether for new build or refurbishment, dry dashing spars are easy and efficient to apply, ideal for use with either traditional two-coat renders or modern pre-blended systems to provide maintenance-free protection and consistent coverage. Our render spars contribute good thermal insulation properties when used in conjunction with insulating render systems.

The Brett dry-dashing render spars range includes some of nature’s hardest stones which are exceptionally wear-resistant whilst looking beautiful for many years. Brett’s long history of developing and supplying dry-dashing products assures the specifier that our range offers proven qualities and aesthetics on every project

Brett flints are fired at very high temperatures to turn them into smaller, hard-wearing materials. When applied to buildings, the low absorption rate of the render spars minimises discolouration from atmospheric pollution, removing the need for high levels of maintenance experienced with other types of render coating.

The highly textured nature of a dry dashed render surface makes it hard for spray paint to settle and adhere evenly, giving it an inherent resistance to graffiti thereby enhancing the appearance of the area.

The new, wider choice of natural colours, including lighter shades, offers the opportunity to create traditional or more contemporary styles in many different applications. The other dry-dashing renders offered by Brett give a complete range of colours and styles to meet your every need. The natural appearance of the render spars can be accentuated by using pigmented cementitious renders.

Brett dry-dashing render spars are ideal materials for off-site manufacture and can be applied to panellised wall units prior to installation on site in line with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). This kind of off site manufacture in a controlled environment can enable faster, safer on-site construction resulting in lower build costs and more rapid project completion

Simply and quickly applied to traditional two-coat renders or applied to render carriers for external wall insulation systems (off or on site), the spars’ excellent coverage rate and strong adhesion are due to the angular nature of spars.

EXTERIOR WALLS
Used for over 70 years as practical, hard-wearing and refreshingly attractive wall coverings, dry-dashing renders continue to be specified on new build projects throughout the UK. New colour blends offer increased design scope for use on contemporary properties including timber framed and other pre-fabricated building systems as well as complementing the more traditional brick built properties.

CONCRETE PANELS
Our renders are suitable for ‘dashing’ into precast concrete panels to construct industrial and commercial buildings and garages.
