Our courses listed below cover a range of different practices when it comes to the façade of a building. These include courses on through-coloured monocouche (one coat) renders, modern renders (including lightweight render systems), and our innovative lightweight brick-effect systems.
Training Academy - Facades
Monocouche Render
weberpral monocouche render through-coloured and one-coat render which allows for fast-track application onto brick and blockwork with shorter programme periods, thereby reducing associated scaffolding and site costs and permitting the earlier completion of ground works.
This advanced technology enables a one-coat application to full BS EN 13914 standard thickness with areas often applied and finished within the same day.
Typical course content includes:
- Introduction to monocouche render
- Typical substrates and preparation required
- How to apply - machine application
- How to apply - hand application
- Finishing and detailing (eg. scraped, dry dash, and ashlar)
Modern Renders
This course offers an introduction into our range of render products including our popular weberend MT lightweight render system and our versatile weberend OCR base coat render:
- weberend MT lightweight render system
- A render system suitable for application to render substrate boards as part of a steel or timber framed construction or with the addition of a levelling render coat onto masonry. This course introduces the meshcloth reinforced render system which is finished with a textured synthetic coating.
- weberend OCR base coat render
- Modern alternative to site mix, pre-blended, one coat base render saves time and money on site. The course explores the fundamentals of good rendering practice along with the application of various decorative finishes available.
Typical course content includes:
- Introduction to modern renders
- Preparing the substrate (eg. suction, key, and adhering beads)
- How to apply - base coat renders
- How to apply - thin coat renders
weberwall brick
Learn how to use this realistic, lightweight brick-effect finish for new builds or refurbishment projects.
weberwall brick is a fast-fix for both internal and external use giving a “real” brick finish in both look and feel. Throughout the course delegates will take part in practical build-up and finishing of the weberwall brick system.
Typical course content includes:
- Introduction to weberwall brick
- Compatible substrates (eg. masonry or cement particle board)
- Internal and external uses
- Glossary of terms/tools required
- Setting out and bonding
- Calculating how much you need
- How to install
- Pointing and finishing
- Top tips
