When it comes to choosing a render supplier in Devon, builders, applicators, and contractors need more than just a product – they need a partner. That’s where SAS Render Systems stands out.

Based in Devon and proudly manufacturing as many of our products as possible in the UK, we’ve become a trusted name for quality, reliability, and expert support. But what exactly makes SAS the best render supplier in Devon? Here’s how we stack up against the rest.

 

  1. Complete Systems, Not Just Products

Most render suppliers will sell you bags of render – we deliver complete systems. At SAS, our ProRend, ProBead, and ProWall products are designed to work together seamlessly. That means less guesswork, better results, and guaranteed compatibility from substrate to finish coat.

Other suppliers might offer base coats and topcoats separately, often from different manufacturers, leading to mixed system issues or warranty voids.

  1. Fast Local Supply — Backed by UK Manufacturing

We stock key products right here in Devon, with fast lead times and reliable availability. And because SAS manufactures many of its products in the UK, you’re never waiting on overseas imports or stuck with supply chain delays.

Many Devon suppliers rely on European brands. That can mean longer lead times, limited colour choices, and uncertainty during peak seasons.

  1. Free Training and Technical Support

Rendering is skilled work, and our job is to support you at every stage. We offer FREE training days with industry expert Gerry Gould, on-site support, and clear installation guidance.

Other brands often pass the buck to distributors for support. At SAS, the support comes directly from the source — no middlemen.

  1. A Brand Built for the Trade

From our ProBead render profiles (cut-resistant, trade-preferred) to ProRend Colourtex (pre-coloured, low-maintenance render), our systems are designed for professionals who need systems that perform.

We don’t just talk trade — we work with applicators, architects, and builders across the Southwest every day.

Larger brands might feel faceless, focused on national merchants or big box stores. With SAS, you get direct relationships and real people.

  1. Colour Choice + Customisation

Want a white silicone render? Easy. Need something bold? Our custom colour matching and wide ProRend Colourtex range offer real design flexibility.

Many suppliers offer limited shades or fixed colour charts, requiring large minimum orders for bespoke blends.

  1. Sustainability & Compliance

Our systems are designed to withstand rigorous testing and meet stringent standards for thermal, fire, and moisture resistance. We’re invested in sustainable UK production, cutting haulage emissions and supporting local jobs.

Imported systems often carry a higher carbon footprint and less control over compliance.

Why Devon’s Trades Trust SAS

  • Free training for applicators
  • UK-made systems built for British conditions
  • Consistent stock, fast lead times
  • Technical support from render experts
  • Preferred by contractors, architects & developers

The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Flawless Render Finishes with ProBead Rendering Beads

Building Products Index Ltd Render, Render Beads Leave a Comment

View the SAS entry on BPindex

Visit the SAS website

In the realm of construction and architectural design, achieving a flawless and lasting finish on exterior walls is an art that blends practicality with aesthetics. One key element is the seamless integration of rendering beads, which not only provide clean lines and sharp edges but also contribute to the overall resilience of the structure. Among the innovative solutions available in the market, ProBead rendering beads stand out as a versatile and effective option for enhancing the durability and visual appeal of rendered facades.

In this guide, SAS Render Systems shed light on the step-by-step process of using render beads. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an enthusiastic DIY homeowner, this comprehensive guide will navigate you through how to use render beads to their full potential. From understanding the essential materials required to achieving a professional-grade finish, we’ll explore the right way to use render beads.

Step 1: Preparation

  • Ensure you have all the necessary tools and materials: ProBead render beads, render, plastering tools, and safety equipment.

 Step 2: Surface Preparation

  • Make sure the surface where you’ll apply the render and render bead is clean, dry, and debris-free.
  • Use suitable cutting tools, such as tin snips, to measure and cut the ProBead render bead to the desired length.

 Step 3: Applying the Render Basecoat:

  • Start by applying a thin layer of render (basecoat) or blobs of render to the wall where you want to apply the beading using a trowel. This base coat provides a smooth and even surface for the rendering beads to adhere to.
  • Use a hawk and trowel to spread the render, ensuring an even thickness.

 Step 4: Attaching Render Beads:

  • Press the ProBead Rendering Beads into the wet render at the desired locations.
    • Ease them into reveals surrounding windows, doors, and other openings; for corner beads, apply gentle pressure to external corners and lightly tap to ensure a level alignment. A spirit level can help you maintain a level surface.
  • Ensure beads are securely embedded in the render and are aligned properly.

Step 4: Applying Render

  • Once the render beads are in place, you can proceed with applying the render to the surrounding areas.
  • Apply the render evenly and firmly into the beading’s edges, ensuring it covers the edge of the render bead and extends beyond it. This helps to create a smooth and consistent finish and eliminates any potential air pockets.

 Step 5: Smoothing and Finishing

  • Use plastering tools to smooth and shape the render, ensuring it adheres well to the render bead and the surrounding surface.
  • Pay extra attention to creating crisp edges and clean lines using the render bead as a guide.

 Step 6: Cleaning

  • While the render is still workable, remove any excess material from the surface of the render bead to ensure a clean edge. The render should align flush with the exposed edges of the beads for a clean and tidy finish.
  • Clean any smudges or excess render from the render bead’s surface.

Step 7: Drying and Curing

  • Allow the render to dry and cure according to specification recommendations. This usually takes some time, so be patient.

 Step 8: Inspection

  • Inspect the finished work to ensure the render beads are securely in place and the render has dried evenly. Make any final adjustments if needed.

 Step 9: Finishing Touches

Once the render is fully cured, you can proceed with any additional finishes, such as a ProRend Colourtex finish.

ProBead render beads, designed to streamline the creation of sharp corners, neat edges, and consistent reveals, are more than just accessories – they are the cornerstone of precision in rendering.

Feel free to chat with the SAS Technical Team at 01647 24620 about recommendations for specific render beads you should be using, as different products may have slight variations in application methods and requirements.

Market-leading ProBead PVC beads are available in 18 standard colours and 34 colours perfectly coordinating with GoRend and ProRend renders and systems. Durable and high quality with a 25-year guarantee, ProBead will always give you the perfect edge.

SAS Render Systems Achieve A2s1d0 Fire Classification

Visit the SAS website

ProWall Rendered Rainscreen System and ProRend EIFS Mineral Wool External Wall Insulation systems have both recently achieved a fire classification of A2s1d0, making them one of the safest and most effective options for external wall insulation on the market.

A fire classification of A2s1d0 means that the material has been tested and found to be limited combustibility (A2 – Limited Combustion), has low smoke emission (S1 – emissions very little or absent), and does not contribute to the spread of fire (D0 – no burning droplets). This is one of the highest fire classifications that can be achieved for building materials, it demonstrates the safety and reliability of both our rendered rainscreen and mineral EWI system.

The ProWall rainscreen cladding system is a carrier board system, typically used in timber frame construction. It provides an attractive and durable finish to an exterior of a building. This system is made up of a 12.5mm cement-based carrier board fixed to either timber batons or rails that are made of either aluminium or steel. A 6mm layer of a flexible basecoat called Lite-Q is then applied and a glass fibre reinforcement mesh is fully embedded.  This reduces the chance of cracking, as timber and steel frame structures tend to move within the first two years of construction.

                                              (ProWall System used on                              (ProWall System structure)

                                         Travelodge Camborne Redruth)

The façade finish is a silicone render called ProRend Colourtex Uniform, available in over 65,000 colours. The Colourtex can be either applied by trowel application or sprayed via a simple hopper and compressor set-up. In being applied this way it speeds up the application as well as reduces overall building costs. The ProWall system is accompanied by a plethora of additional sundries that help with contraction, and expansion in addition to ventilation. The Technical team at SAS can provide full technical support.

The ProRend EIFS system uses mineral wool insulation, which is made from natural rocks, such as basalt and dolomite. These are melted and spun into fibres. It is a highly effective insulator, with excellent thermal and acoustic properties. The mineral wool is non-combustible and has low smoke emissions, contributing to our high fire classification of the system. This particular system is commonly used on projects over 18m in height, and commercial buildings such as offices and warehousing, and larger residential buildings with multiple occupancies which require excellent insulation along with a higher level of fire safety compliance.

                                          (ProRend EIFS System used                      (ProRend EIFS System structure)

                                       on Cornerstone Housing, Exeter)

ProRend EIFS can be affixed to numerous different substrates with a simple change in fixing type and embedment depth. From sheathing boards on steel structures to masonry builds inclusive of brick and block. Exactly like the ProWall system, the basecoat, glass fibre mesh and Colourtex Uniform are all applied to create the final rendered finish.

Together, the ProWall and ProRend EIFS systems are both effective in protecting buildings whilst being safe in the event of a fire. As stated before, they are suitable for use on a variety of different buildings, such as residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

The technical team at SAS Render Systems are happy to discuss your project requirements and provide full technical support at all stages.

DEFINING EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION

Image Location: Beacon Avenue Exeter

Beacon Road Exeter4-2 IMG_0075

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMG_0081Construction materials and products are constantly evolving to keep up with the pace of the construction industry, consequently, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of timber frame houses being built.

With the growth of modular construction utilising off-site construction there has been a decrease in time spent on site, creating consistency and increased productivity.

The energy efficiency of our homes has also become a concern with rising heating costs, meaning more of us are thinking about other innovative solutions like the insulation of our homes.

IMG_0011ICF or insulated concrete form is a fantastic example of a modern system focused on creating exceptionally energy-efficient homes.

ICF is quick to install by stacking polystyrene blocks, filling the hollow with concrete and leaving it to set, resulting in an incredibly strong and thermally efficient structure.

But what about existing houses! Improvement of loft insulation and underfloor insulation can make a notable difference, but what about the walls?

Beacon Road ExeterCavity wall insulation is a popular solution for many homes, although not all housing stock is suitable.

This leaves two main options, increase the insulation inside the house with internal insulation systems, or look at an external insulation system.

External insulation systems are a fantastic way to increase the insulation value of your house while transforming the look of the building.

At SAS, we have developed ProRend EIFS, our comprehensive and fully warranted external insulation system.

Following any potential surface preparation requirements, the insulation material, either mineral wool or EPS, is adhered to the surface using our specially designed high polymer basecoat.

The insulation slabs are mechanically fixed to the substrate, then the basecoat is applied and fully embedded with a fibreglass reinforcement mesh to tie the whole area together.

Once cured, a colour primer is applied followed by a highly water-resistant and flexible silicone thin coat.

The whole system achieves a 30-year BBA certification and comes with a 10-year system warranty.

INSULATION OPTIONS:

Cheriton Bishop, Exeter After

ProRend EIFS can be installed using either expanded polystyrene (EPS), or mineral wool insulations.

Both options of ProRend EIFs boast superb insulation properties but principally for different property types.

THE ADVANTAGES OF USING EIFS: EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE – EPS

Our premium platinum insulation has fantastically low thermal conductivity, drastically decreasing the overall heat lost through your walls.

As the most cost-effective of the two insulants, EPS is often the material of choice for residential renovations.

MINERAL WOOL

Our high-density mineral wool slab is a fibrous material formed by spinning or drawing molten mineral or rock materials.

The composition of the mineral wool makes it incredibly fire-resistant; this is particularly useful for any high rise or commercial buildings where fire safety is paramount.

Mineral Wool can be utilised as a sole insulant in ProRend EIFS projects or serve as a fire barrier in EPS applications.

EIFS Graph2 copyWhen considering a renovation to improve thermal efficiency, the regulations refer to the thermal requirements as stated in Approved Document L1B.

L1B states that any newly constructed thermal elements or thermal elements constructed as replacements for existing elements should achieve a U-value of 0.28 W/(m².K).

Two traditional wall makeups are solid walls or brick cavities. We have modelled the reduction in U-value based on various thicknesses of EPS used in our system.

As you can see from the graph, 90mm insulation is often enough to meet the regulations of 0.28 W/(m².K).

Thicker insulation can, of course, be used to further decrease the U-value and make the building that much more thermally efficient.

Whatever your property, if you are looking to increase the thermal efficiency while transforming the exterior, get in touch and SAS will put a bespoke specification together for you and calculate your U-value.

The ProWall cladding system comprises of high-performing products that create a seamless, highly-waterproof rendered finish for both timber frame and steel frame buildings.

New rendered timber frame housing

Luxury housing at Westward Ho!
Luxury housing at Westward Ho!

ProWall rendered cladding is ideal for use on new timber frame housing, creating modern sharp lines alongside metal, glass or natural wood finishes. The system uses specific beading that protects the render board edge and render, creates drip detailing, and ventilation under the soffits and at the base. ProWall has been used in luxury housing developments in Northam and Westward Ho! providing a premium rendered finish. https://sas-europe.com/rendered-cladding-timber-frame/

Safe cladding at over 18 metres

Rhyl Travelodge
Rhyl Travelodge

When used on steel frame, ProWall meets the new regulations and can be used at over 18 metres as the system is classified as A2-s1,d0 ‘reaction to fire’. Fully compliant with the new regulations, ProWall contains demonstrable barrier fire seals within the cladding that have been fire tested to 99 minutes integrity. Additionally, it has been awarded a 60-year certificate of durability from the BBA (an independent regulation body). The ProBoard render boards do not contain magnesium oxide so comply with current LABC and NHBC regulation. https://sas-europe.com/compliant-cladding-building-regulations/

Developers of the new Rhyl Travelodge chose ProWall to protect the hotel from coastal exposure, taking advantage of a custom-coloured rendered finish to match the chain’s branding. ProWall can provide a reassuringly different look to the building if used to replace unsafe cladding, with an attractive rendered finish available in a wide range of colours.

Renovation and repair  

Rendered replacement cladding is a great choice to update failed render on older buildings or homes. ProWall can cover a range of different substrates and uneven surfaces replacing them with a durable, highly waterproof rendered finish. Existing render may have failed due to the wrong products having been used or poorly applied, leading to water ingress and cracking. When existing render containing metal meshing or a sand and cement mix has failed due to weather exposure, ProWall is a great choice. https://sas-europe.com/replacing-cracked-render/
