EWI-225 Premium Basecoat

Product Overview

EWI-225 Premium Basecoat is the strongest and most flexible basecoat within the EWI Pro range, designed to deliver exceptional performance across both render-only and external wall insulation systems. In render-only applications, it forms a highly stable and durable base layer. Within EWI systems, its reinforcing fibres activate during mixing and application to securely bond all insulation types, including EPS, Kingspan K5, Mineral Wool and Wood Fibre boards, to the substrate. Once cured, the basecoat delivers outstanding strength and flexibility, supporting long-term system durability.

Intended Uses

EWI-225 Premium Basecoat is used for fixing insulation boards to suitable substrates and as a reinforcement layer within external wall insulation systems. It is compatible with all common EWI insulation types, including EPS, Kingspan K5, Mineral Wool and Wood Fibre boards, and is particularly advantageous where increased strength is required for heavier insulation materials. The product is also recommended for use in render-only systems, where it provides an exceptionally strong and flexible basecoat layer to support long-term durability of the finished façade.
