Euromix™ Polystyrene

Acrylic Render Finishing System

Euromix™ offers a wide range of different render and texture solutions for finishing over polystyrene (EPS) walling systems such as NRG Greenboard, RMAX Orange, Dulux Esculite and ACE Polystyrene.

Finishing System Summary

Euromix™ recommends that any render, texture and paint finishing system applied over fibre cement (EPS) walling should be designed and applied in such a way as to;

Hide most sheet surface imperfections.

Minimise the appearance of minor structural imperfections, misalignment of walls etc. 

Provide a render/texture finish that is sufficiently thick/strong to be resistant to impact forces while still being able to flex with the EPS. 

There are several Euromix™ products that can be applied in a number of different systems to achieve the above finish. 

The key components of such systems are summarised as;

Substrate preparation, patching & fixing of trims.

Bedding render coat. 

Base render coat.

Finishing render coat.

Texture coat.

Paint coat - optional.
