Vertu BMW Exeter – Superior Rendering with ProBead and ProWall Systems
Vertu BMW Exeter, a prominent car dealership, undertook a major rendering project to enhance the aesthetic and thermal properties of the external aspects of their showroom. McCarthy Contractors spearheaded the application, utilising SAS Render Systems flagship products ProRend, ProBead and ProWall to achieve a seamless and durable finish.
Project Requirements
The project had specific requirements to ensure a high-quality and long-lasting result:
Repair Section: 100mm EPS insulation system affixed back to the steel frame on the main roadside.
Front Façade: ProWall system affixed to aluminium top hat sections.
Final Finish: ProRend Colourtex thin coat finish matching the existing colour, RAL 9001.
Comprehensive Involvement: Involvement throughout the project for all aspects of the project.
Solution
100mm EPS Insulation System
For the repair section at the main roadside, a 100mm premium EPS insulation system was installed. This system was affixed back to the steel frame, ensuring improved thermal performance.
ProWall System
For the front façade, the ProWall system was chosen for its outstanding performance and longevity. The system was affixed to aluminium top hat sections, providing a robust and durable solution that seamlessly integrated with the existing structure.
Long-Term Durability: The ProWall system comes with a 60-year BBA certificate, guaranteeing its durability.
Fire Performance: Delivers first-class performance concerning fire resistance, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
Strength and Stability: Provides exceptional strength and stability, maintaining its structural integrity over time.
Weather Tightness: Effectively protects the building from the elements, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance.
Healthy Air Quality: The rendered rainscreen cladding maintains healthy air quality by allowing the building to breathe while protecting it from the elements.
Colourtex Finish
The final finish was crucial for maintaining the dealership’s aesthetic consistency. ProRend Colourtex, a premium factory-batched proprietary silicone resin thin-coat render, was selected for its high water resistance and low maintenance requirements. This finish was applied over a ProRend coloured primer and perfectly matched the existing RAL 9001 colour.
More on ProRend Colourtex silicone thin coat render:
Customisation: Available in 30 standard colours or as in this case study, custom tints, ensuring a perfect match for any project.
Durability: Guaranteed for 10 years, this render offers a long-lasting solution.
Textured Finishes: Available in two textured finishes, Uniform and Grained, providing flexibility in design aesthetics.
Comprehensive Design Support
From the initial stages to the end result, Vertu BMW Exeter received comprehensive support, including CAD details and specifications. This collaboration ensured that every aspect of the rendering project was meticulously planned and executed.
Key Features and Benefits
Eco-Friendly: The use of ProBead render beads, made from 100% recycled PVCu and fully recyclable, ensured a sharp and durable finish, guaranteed to last the test of time, with an official 25-year guarantee. ProBead is the market-leading choice for render bead, a high-quality bead manufactured in the UK.
Durability: SAS Render Systems products are engineered for long-lasting performance, ensuring the rendered surfaces remain crack-free and withstand environmental challenges.
Aesthetic Consistency: The ProRend Colourtex finish in RAL 9001 provided a seamless match with the existing structure, enhancing the overall visual appeal.

ProRend EIFS External Wall Insulation System: A Holistic Approach to Decarbonisation
In the effort to mitigate climate change, the construction industry plays a pivotal role, and innovative solutions are imperative to reduce its environmental footprint. ProRend EIFS (External Insulation Finishing System) is a comprehensive approach to sustainable construction, offering superior thermal insulation and seamless integration, finished with ProRend Colourtex thin coat render. This article explores how ProRend EIFS supports decarbonisation efforts in the construction sector.
Enhanced with top-tier materials, ProRend EIFS stands as a premier fully rendered external insulation system. Not only does it elevate the aesthetic appeal of any structure, but it also enhances thermal efficiency, curbing heat loss effectively. Compliant with Approved Document Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) and Approved Document Part B (Fire Safety), ProRend EIFS ensures both energy conservation and safety standards are met. Backed by a robust 30-year BBA system durability certification and a 10-year warranty from SAS Render Systems, it emerges as the ultimate choice for decarbonisation projects, promising unparalleled protection against the elements.
Enhanced Thermal Insulation with ProRend EIFS
ProRend EIFS is engineered to provide exceptional thermal insulation by enveloping buildings in a continuous layer of insulation material, using a choice of either mineral wool for enhanced fire protection or EPS for outstanding thermal properties. This significantly reduces heat transfer through the building envelope, minimising the need for energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. By enhancing energy efficiency, ProRend EIFS helps reduce carbon emissions associated with building operations, contributing to decarbonisation goals.
Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
The combination of ProRend EIFS and ProRend Colourtex offers synergistic benefits for decarbonisation. The enhanced thermal insulation provided by ProRend EIFS reduces the building’s reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to significant energy savings and a corresponding decrease in carbon emissions. ProRend Colourtex render not only adds aesthetic appeal and a high-performance exterior finish but also provides additional weather protection and durability to the façade helping further reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Long-Term Sustainability and Lifecycle Performance
ProRend EIFS contributes to long-term sustainability by minimising the need for maintenance and premature replacements. The durable finish provided by thin coat render protects the underlying insulation system, extending the lifespan of the facade and reducing carbon associated with replacement materials. This holistic approach to building design emphasises lifecycle performance and resilience, supporting decarbonisation efforts over the entire lifespan of the building.
Case Study: Cornerstone Housing Limited’s Beacon Avenue Refurbishment Project
Cornerstone Housing Limited’s Beacon Avenue refurbishment project exemplifies the efficacy of ProRend External Insulation in advancing sustainable construction. The initiative aimed to modernise existing housing while promoting sustainability, aligning with Cornerstone’s lower carbon footprint initiative.
Collaborating closely with SAS Render Systems and Heighway Field Architects, Cornerstone ensured sustainability goals were integrated from design to completion. The project entailed six construction phases, with ProRend EIFS installed to blocks of terraced houses, enhancing energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
The completion of the project in mid-2022 marked a milestone in Cornerstone’s sustainability journey. Through effective collaboration and innovative solutions, Cornerstone demonstrated the transformative potential of sustainable construction in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing housing quality, helping them reach their decarbonisation goals.
A Sustainable Path Forward
As the construction industry continues to evolve in response to the need for sustainability, systems like ProRend EIFS are essential for achieving decarbonisation goals. By prioritising energy efficiency, durability, and resilience, this integrated system offers a holistic approach to sustainable construction that reduces carbon emissions and enhances the long-term performance of buildings.
As stakeholders across the construction sector embrace these technologies, we move closer to a future where buildings are not only energy-efficient but also resilient to the challenges of a changing climate. ProRend EIFS represents a step forward in the journey towards a low-carbon built environment, demonstrating that sustainability and innovation can go hand in hand in shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.
