K REND LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE NEW RENDER PRODUCT K1 SPRAY+ TO MARKET

Renowned Kilwaughter Minerals brand K Rend has unveiled an innovative render product designed to set a new standard within the construction industry.
The company’s new K1 Spray+ represents an investment of £200,000 and replaces the popular K1 Spray product, offering significant improvements in ease of use and performance, making it an ideal solution for both spray and hand application.

In response to evolving market requirements, K1 Spray+ has been formulated as a one-coat, two-pass through-coloured render, providing efficient and effective coverage that simplifies the application process. The product is also optimised for machine handling, ensuring exceptional build-out without slumping, even in challenging conditions.

Caroline Rowley, Business Development Director at Kilwaughter Minerals, commented:
“We are thrilled to introduce K1 Spray+, which, following the launch of K Rend’s Eco Range earlier this year, reflects the brand’s commitment to continuous innovation and effectively meeting the demands of the market.

“This product has been carefully designed to make the application process as simple and efficient as possible, while delivering the high-performance standards that K Rend is known for. Ensuring a positive experience for customers using a hand or spray finish has been key to the versatile specification we created and our R&D team have certainly delivered that.

“We are confident K1 Spray+ will be a transformative development for applicators searching for a render product that combines ease of use with exceptional results from a widely trusted brand.”

As part of K Rend’s scraped texture product range, K1 Spray+ features the brand’s signature fine texture finish and is available in 20 standard colours, offering a visually appealing solution for both new builds and renovation, maintenance, and improvement (RMI) projects. The launch of K1 Spray+ is also backed by K Rend’s expert team, who are on hand to offer comprehensive support including specification guidance, on-site assistance, training, and technical advice to ensure optimal results for applicators and contractors alike.

The launch kicks off with events at Kilwaughter’s Larne, St Helens and Cork premises to allow customers and applicators to see first hand the benefits of the new product and to get practical hands on experience applying it. This will be followed by a roadshow with demo events throughout the country throughout October and November, supported by a range of machine suppliers and specialists to put the product through its paces.
This latest announcement follows the launch of K Rend’s Eco Range earlier this year. The product portfolio includes a suite of reduced cement render and mortar solutions and underscores Kilwaughter Minerals’ dedication to improving environmental standards in the construction industry, promoting sustainable practices and meeting the demands of eco-conscious customers.
