Thermal Polystyrene Cladding System: PoLYRENDER from CHAD Facades

The PoLYRENDER thermal polystyrene cladding system is one of the most in-demand products from CHAD. Developed by CHAD's Facades division, PoLYRENDER provides a triple finish that insulates, decorates and protects the exterior surfaces of building structures.
Up Close with PoLYRENDER
CHAD Facades designed PoLYRENDER to be a multi-layered thermal polystyrene cladding system for wall constructions. PoLYRENDER can be divided into three components, namely the PoLYRENDER panel, the base coat, and the finish coat.
The PoLYRENDER panel is composed of Grade M expanded polystyrene (EPS), perfectly suited to rendering and cladding applications. The building material is widely recognised for its superior thermal capabilities, enabling PoLYRENDER to help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures from the outside. In a thickness of 75mm, PoLYRENDER has the capacity to be three times more thermally efficient than a conventional brick veneer construction.
In addition to excellent insulation, EPS also offers high strength and durability for PoLYRENDER to deliver optimum performance in the long run. Along with polymer-modified render, an alkali-resistant fibreglass mesh is coated to the panel to reinforce the structural integrity of the thermal polystyrene cladding system.

CHAD Facades put workability at high priority in the development of PoLYRENDER. Given the lightweight build of EPS, PoLYRENDER requires minimal manpower for flexible installation. With fewer constraints, the thermal polystyrene cladding system can be easily installed on-site to external walls, bulkheads, columns, fences and extensions.
Below is a quick overview of the application of each layer of PoLYRENDER:
- The PoLYRENDER panel is fixed or screwed through washers to mechanically secure the wall system to the exterior wall frame made from timber or steel.
- The alkali-resistant, self-adhesive fibreglass mesh is rendered over the entire wall area, followed by two (2) coats of a polymer-reinforced coating to a thickness of 3-5mm.
- For a textured finish, a coloured acrylic texture top coat is applied on top of the base coat.
Upon application, PoLYRENDER achieves aesthetic value with a seamless, high-quality design bearing the resemblance of a rendered brick wall. PoLYRENDER exhibits a depth of reveal at windows, further enhancing the architectural appearance of the thermal polystyrene cladding system, and of the overall structure.
In action, PoLYRENDER provides excellent, long-lasting service that meets five-star energy efficiency requirements. Leading third-party consultants have thoroughly verified the compliance of PoLYRENDER with all relevant Australian Standards, and performance requirements of exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) provided by the Building Code of Australia (BCA). The Victorian Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) have also accredited PoLYRENDER as an external cladding and wall insulation system.
