Aerostone band alternative
Installing an Aerostone band alternative to render
Bunbury
Did you know Aerostone bands can be made to a variety of shapes and sizes to be used as an alternative to traditional render bands?
A situation like this occurred just recently where we installed 600 x 600mm Aerostone bands to a house in Bunbury from window sill height down to the footing.
Builders would previously have had their Bricklayers extend their brickwork out from the sill height down before a Renderer would apply a sand finish render over the top in order to create a similar finish.
However this can lead to an inconsistent finish in large areas, which is where Aerostone bands are now being used instead as not only does it create ease for the Builder, but a consistent finish that can be achieved in areas that would also prove troublesome otherwise (such as rendering near feature brickwork).
This installation in Bunbury was done to tie in the various rendered sections of the front of the home with the two areas of feature brickwork via a band covering the whole front elevation.
Using the AcraBond additive allows the Aerostone adhesive to stick to brickwork just as well as it does to sand finish render, allowing for a smooth installation across the two finishes.

Once the bands were installed, they were coated with AcraSand to give them a textured finish alike to render which the Painters can finish with the same paint they'll use on the render.
