Adhesives & basecoats
EWI Adhesives & Basecoats
Our EWI adhesives and basecoats deliver strong bonds and durable reinforcement. We cover all common substrates and insulation types. This includes EPS adhesive for polystyrene, basecoat render for mesh embedding, and mineral wool adhesive for ROCKWOOL slabs. Moreover, we align meshes, primers, profiles, and finishes to form one coherent system.
Why quality adhesives and basecoats matter
Choosing the correct EWI adhesives and basecoats sets bond strength and impact resistance. The basecoat render forms the reinforced layer that resists cracking. Consequently, the right choice protects the facade before the decorative coat. In addition, matching mesh, primer, and finish boosts durability and appearance in UK conditions.
Product lineup (in stock, UK‑wide)
Explore adhesives & basecoats for EWI projects. Each option integrates with our meshes, primers, and silicone or silicate finishes. Moreover, the range covers EPS adhesive and mineral wool adhesive for mixed specifications.
- Ceresit ZU – Insulation & Mesh Adhesive / Basecoat Render: multi‑purpose powder for bonding EPS and embedding mesh as a reliable basecoat render.
- Atlas Hoter U – 2‑in‑1 EPS/XPS adhesive and mesh basecoat: 2‑in‑1 workflow that builds a stable reinforcement layer.
- Atlas Hoter U White – 2‑in‑1 EPS/XPS adhesive and basecoat: white variant for clean undercoats, ideal under light silicone renders.
- Ceresit CT84 – Foam adhesive (EPS adhesive): high‑grab EPS adhesive in a foam can that speeds installation.
- ROKER U – EPS & mineral wool adhesive: bonding for EPS and wool; a dependable mineral wool adhesive for mixed systems.
System compatibility and finishing options
When specifying EWI adhesives and basecoats, pair them with the right components. Use 150 g mesh and 160 g mesh.
Add corner beads, arched beads, and drip profiles.
Prime with Ceresit CT16 or Atlas Cerplast.
Choose finishes from our Renders range, including Atlas Gemini RS and Ceresit CT74, CT76, and CT174.
If you work with wool, select ROCKWOOL slabs. Then apply the basecoat render with the correct mesh.
Application notes
Follow the data sheets for mixing, curing, and weather limits. Typically, you bond boards with the suitable EPS adhesive or mineral wool adhesive. Then add mechanical fixings where specified. Next, embed mesh in an even basecoat render. Finally, apply the system primer before the decorative coat.

FAQs
The answers below guide your EWI adhesives and basecoats choices for common cases.
Which adhesive should I use for EPS boards?
Pick an EPS adhesive such as Ceresit CT84 or a powder like Ceresit ZU. Then embed mesh with a compatible basecoat render.
Can one product handle both bonding and the basecoat?
Yes. 2‑in‑1 options like Atlas Hoter U or Hoter U White create a robust basecoat render.
What about mineral wool systems?
Use a dedicated mineral wool adhesive like ROKER U. Then follow the fixing schedule and embed mesh with a matching basecoat.
Do I need a primer before the topcoat?
In most systems, yes. After the basecoat render cures, apply CT16 or Cerplast.
Which finishes are compatible?
Choose silicone or silicate finishes from Renders. Additionally, review colours in Render Colour Charts.
