Thin-Coat Renders & Priming Masses
Atlas thin coat and façade products are extensive in their technical excellence. During their establishment of 25 years to most major European and Global states they pride themselves on achieving 130,000,000m2 of facades insulated with Atlas products. Supervised by research and development of 100 plus staff within their development laboratories pursuing performance, enhancing improvement and creating new technologies.
ATLAS and AVAL thin-coat façade renders are designed and produced to meet the requirements of professionals and demanding investors who do not accept compromises between quality and aesthetics. They include the latest achievements in construction chemicals, especially in the field of binders which in practice determine the quality and durability of renders.

– on external wall insulation systems with the use of polystyrene boards (EPS) and mineral wool,
– on even, properly prepared mineral substrates (e.g. concrete, typical cement and cement-lime renders).
The main characteristics
• ATLAS CERMIT BA-M is a mixture of hydraulic binders, selected aggregates, modifying agents and a water repellent.
• Highly resistant to micro-cracking – owing to specially selected fillers and additional structural reinforcement with microfibers.

– improved mortar durability, resistance to precipitation and UV radiation,
– improved resistance to the growth of microorganisms,
– ensured aesthetic appearance of a façade over a long period of time.
• Additional improvement of render strength during its exploitation – obtained owing to a natural process of carbonation of mineral renders, which causes:
– decreased absorptivity,
– structure hardening,
– increased resistance to chemical aggression.
• MYCO PROTECTION – hydrophilization, high rendering coat alkalinity and content of substances preventing biological corrosion growth, forms incompatible condition for fungi, algae and lichens growth on a façade surface.

Colours
ATLAS and AVAL renders and paints are available in wide range of colours – the current palette includes 400 carefully selected shades. The colour scheme was developed in collaboration with urban planning experts and colour scheme professionals. They were created for modern and optimum colour schemes which responds to actual requirements and needs of the market, in line with the latest design trends.
400 colours in their palette are divided into two groups. The first one consists of 200 pastel, toned-down colours selected on the basis of currently most fashionable shades, while the second one is represented by 200 colours of more intensive shades. Therefore, among the colours one can find both colours usually chosen as dominant (to be applied on the greater part of a façade) as well as accompanying shades, used only to accentuate certain elements or fragments of the building, e.g. plinths, breaks.
The palette of 400 colours of ATLAS and AVAL renders and paints will work well for both traditional buildings and modern architecture. While choosing colours of a façade, one does not need to worry about the use of intense shades or unconventional combinations with pastels. Delicate colours help us to adjust the appearance of the building façade to the surroundings, both in terms of nature and neighboring buildings. In addition, the use of bright shades enhances the aesthetics and enlarges the building visually. Details and elements painted with dark, rich paint colours perfectly emphasize the value of a facility, giving it its individual character and composing well with, e.g. lining or closest surroundings.
