Dryvit ACR systems and the Cement Board MD Finish System are a range of 100% acrylic polymer based anti-crack renders designed to out perform the shrinkage and cracking characteristics of traditional renders. The range offers a variety of coloured and textured coating options providing various levels of protection when used in the different component combinations.
Dryvit ACR systems are generally installed over a Dryvit polymer modified re-profiling mortar where levelling is required, on to exterior concrete, brickwork, blockwork, plastered or painted surfaces in new build or refurbishment projects.
The Cement Board MD Finish System incorporates an exterior grade cement board fixed to vertical batons and is ideal where a cavity system is called for without the need for exterior insulation. Commonly applied over timber or steel framed substrates incorporating an approved sheathing and breather membrane in new build residential and low-rise commercial projects.
Application of the systems are carried out by Specialist Installers employing operatives who have been trained in the use of Dryvit materials. In addition Dryvit are committed to providing on site support to their network of Specialist Installers when called upon. Details of recommended Specialist Installers are available from Dryvit UK Ltd.
