FAQs
What is Baumit MonoPlus?
Baumit MonoPlus is a through coloured one coat scratch render designed for external use on masonry walls. It provides a durable, decorative finish without the need for painting.
Is Baumit MonoPlus a lime-based render?
Baumit MonoPlus is not a traditional lime render. It is a cement-based render that includes hydrated lime as part of its formulation.
This gives it improved workability and durability compared to standard cement renders, but it does not offer the same level of breathability as pure lime systems such as NHL or lime putty renders.
What is Baumit MonoPlus used for?
Baumit MonoPlus is a one coat, through coloured render used to create a durable and decorative external finish on masonry walls. It is suitable for both new build and renovation projects but may not be suitable for historic properties that require sympathetic materials with high vapour permeability.
Can Baumit MonoPlus be used on old or solid walls?
Baumit MonoPlus is best suited to modern masonry construction such as brick and blockwork. For older solid wall or heritage buildings, a more breathable lime render system is usually recommended.
Does Baumit MonoPlus need to be painted?
No, Baumit MonoPlus is through coloured, meaning the colour runs throughout the render. This removes the need for painting and reduces long-term maintenance.
