Right, price is far too high for this. Felt only slightly stronger than EWI-220, nowhere near premium money.

Goes on like butter sets like rock. Spot on.
Philippe

Miles better than 220.
Dan

Top kit. Sticks MW boards like glue, decent work time and zero slump. Sorted!

awful. dry mix was clumpy so its no good for EWI. why would they ship 25kg bags with NO DATE STAMP so you cant even check the shelf life? it set far too quickly way less than the 2hr pot life. obvious i got old stock. cracking straight away. pure time-waster.

Excellent reinforcement layer, far superior to the 220. Had to re-mix one bucket gthat went stiff fast. Good product, but the render-only coverage on blocks could be better for the price.
William

The delivery failed to arrive, and I was not afforded even the courtesy of a telephone call to inform me. I found myself waiting quite unnecessarily, which was both inconvenient and rather bewildering

Proper high-strength basecoat. Didn't slump at all for the 6mm layer saved us loads of time over that budget 220.

Top strength, proper job. Will reorder.

Absolutely love this base coat. It levels perfectly and holds the mesh really well
Colin Thornton

Used the 225 Premium Base Coat on an external insulation job — no cracking, smooth coverage, excellent adhesion
Phil Staples
06.11.2025
The EWI-225 spreads beautifully and creates such a strong bond. I’ve used plenty of base coats, but this one stands out for consistency

Cracking basecoat! Feathered out spot on near the windows and the mess just cleaned off the trowel. Cut the snags right down. Sorted!

Proper strong. Got the accurate coverage rate advertised.
Gary

Basecoat mixed brilliant, smooth spread, works good. Flex and strength miles better than 220. Held up spot on in cooler air!
Reggie
07.10.2025
This is the essential basecoat everyone needs. I have been using this product for the past couple projects and I would never use anything else again. This basecoat is smooth, easy to work with and mixes like a dream
Charles
23.09.2025
Mix was perfect. High polymer meant it was strong as an ox but the overall system weight was low. Feathered lovely for the 6mm. Top quality brill!
Adam
22.09.2025
proper strong adhesive layer. Use this for MW and it absolutely grips, the high poly count is clear. Main reason for 4 stars is watching your coverage: the extra kg/m
for Mineral Wool means the bags don't stretch as far compared to fixing EPS. You have to order more, simple as. Still outstanding value when you compare it to Weber. Good stuff, will be ordering again for our EWI jobs.

Brill basecoat. Took some time to get the knack right.

Late delivery, bags damp & short supply! "Premium" EWI-225 is pure faff; coarse mix, zero flexibillity & just too heavy for render boards. Wasted my time.
Andy Bobbington
08.09.2025
Switched entirely to EWI-225 for my rendering projects. Quality is unmatched
Adam

Didn't slip bedding Mineral Wool. That premium bond makes the whole system SOLID.

Brilliant stuf. Used it on the Mineral Wool and it stuck solid definitely strong. Felt way better on the trowel too.
Sam

wORST BASECOAT. delivered damaged cos the packaginv is flimsy. this high polymer stuff fajiled entirely on the RCB substrate it promises to work on. reinforced layer feels weak + brittle. waste of effort and time!

great strength, high price.
Ashley
25.06.2025
EWI-225 is proper BC, dead strong on MW. Mix needs more water than stated though, and cure was a touch slow. Solid adh, worth the extra quid.
eren
21.06.2025
Awful! Driver dropped the soaked bag. Wasted the day waiting. Mix was Lumpy SLOP. Failed to bond the mineral wool boards ovenright! Absolute failure, it slumped right off the render board. NO BATCH NUMBER either. This is total ubbish.

High-strength 225 beats the EWI-220, but need smaller 10kg packs.
Steve

stronger than 220, A1 mix. Delivery late.
Nicole

Saved time not needing primer first. Sticks hard. Decent grip, solid skim.
Dan Collins
15.05.2025
When I spoke to technical and was advised this is best done in two coats over 2 days then the 2nd coat will pull in quicker and can be rubbed up after about an hour. I found this product easier than most basecoats.
Greg
11.05.2025
Cracking gear. This 225 stuck the K5 boards solid. Right on the button consistency. Proper premium stuff.
Riony
11.05.2025
Brilliant adh strength, superior to 220. Very high polymer quality stuff. BUT mixing was awful, heavy dust and lumpy. Needed way more water than the 5.9L guide to make it trowel-able. Went off too quick for 2hrs. Also, got way less coverage on my brick/block than the quoted 2.5m2. Pricey when the coverage is tight. Driver was sound, helped offload the heavy bags. Pretty satisfied overall.
Victoria
09.05.2025
Strong gear, massive grab on the Kingspan. Had to rush a bit near the 2hr workability time.

Sound bit of kit. Stuck the Mineral Wool fast, set well. The scratch coat is proper solid. Worth paying for this strength.
Cassandra
11.03.2025
Smelled proper potent, really tacky on the trowel an' the coverage felt dead optimistic
Nada
05.03.2025
Great stuff! Mix was clumpy refused to paddle blend properly. Went off in the tub in less than a hour. Rubbish.
Danny
18.02.2025
cracking high-spec adh/basecoat. Used this on Mineral Wool fix and for the final base layer/mesh on render only; held solid and didn't get any slumping which is always a plus. Feels seriously tough once cured, they weren't lying about the polymer content. Mixing needed a bit more water than the 'minimum' guide to get the right throw, and yeah, it needed that second paddle blitz after the rest period to properly clear the lumpsbit of a faff, but worth it for the final consistency. Price is fair for high-strength gear. Delivery was quick, driver helped sling the bag where I needed it. Would buy again. Coverage was tight to spec, but did the job.
Narinder
17.02.2025
Strong bond, dead on. Too gritty skimming against a level though.

Better quality than EWI-220. Cracking adh.

Brill! This is proper solid basecoat, consistency was spot on for trowelling. Set miles stronger than competitor tubs. Sound.
Rhys

Worked perfect on Mineral Wool adhesive. Consistency was brilliant. Worth the extra quid.
Mohmed

absolutely brill stuff much stronger than standard! Locked down Kingspan K5 proper. The finish is robust spot on!
David
28.12.2024
Strong poly-adh. Needed a slight water tweak; little draggy. Sound kit.
Marcin
04.12.2024
The bag was proper rough when delivered; must have had water ingress. The muck went clumpy straight off and flashed off way too quick. Hard to work it flat over the mesh dragged the trowel bad. Not worth the premium price when cheaper alternatives are better.
Kevin
01.12.2024
Rock solid adhesion!
Johnathan
25.11.2024
Adhered MW perfectly, real strong coat. Just sets fast in warmth & coverage feels low for premium cost.

Go-to basecoat. Held Mineral Wool perfectly.
Steve

Properly premium adhesive for Rockwool. Stuck firm and the reinforcement layer is rock solid & flexy. Glad I went for this over the EWI-220.
christopher
26.09.2024
EWI-225 adh works great on Mineral Wool, strong stuff. Just needs a tad more awter than the min mix specified.
Darren
25.09.2024
Worth the upvrade. Rock solid!
lewis
20.09.2024
Rock solid! Proper gear, this. Mixed up zweet as you like and gives a brilliant coat thickness. You feel the strength from the polymers instantly—worth every penny over the basic stuff like the 220, especially for our Mineral Wool boards. Long-term durability sorted. Bang on.
Adu
07.09.2024
Used it on MW boards. Mixes clean and spreads spot on, seriously good bond. Coverage rates meant we ordered fewer bags than usual. Proper strong stuff!
CHANDRASEKHAR
02.09.2024
brill adh for MW/WFB. Miles better than 220. Had to add extra water (more than 5.9L) as it felt too stiff. Pot life was quick on the warm days (~90 mins). Top strength once cured.
JOHN
25.08.2024
great adh/basecoat on Kingspan K5. Texture for trowelling was spot on, felt proper strong. Only 4 stars 'cos that 10 min rest/remix really slows the job down.
Samanta
16.08.2024
I’ve been using the Premium Basecoat (EWI-225) for a few projects now, and I have to say it’s one of the best basecoats I’ve worked with. The consistency is spot-on — it mixes easily and spreads really smoothly, which saves a lot of time on site. You can tell it’s a quality product as soon as you start applying it.
Daniel
13.08.2024
Spot on!
jack
09.08.2024
Perfect!
James
08.08.2024
ixing this was a proper faff, left small lumps that were tough to shift. Felt far too tacky on the trowel and needed moer water tahn stated... The low coverage meant it’s pricey for the bag too. Took ages to dry when the air temp dropped a bit mate.
Kiril
28.07.2024
Cracking job. Mixes up nice and works easy into the mesh. White cement is the way to go for high strength systems. Spot on.
Max
27.07.2024
Quality binder, far superior to 220. Holds firm, zero sag. Switched to 225 only.
Monika
26.07.2024
Proper sttong stuff! Much better than 220.
Julien
25.07.2024
Proper basecoat, well above EWI-220 quality. High polymer content obvious when fixing heavy MW/K5 boards
But the mix stage was messy. Dust kicked up a proper cloud. Required more than >5.9L water + longer rest time than the datasheet said to get a workable texture. Trowel draw-off was just shy of perfect, competitor felt smoother.
Coverage was under the 2.5m² on block/brick too. Docs need better clarity on EWI-301 vs EWI-310 primer selection.
Price is high; delivery fees for one 25kg bag were extortionate. Bag is a heavy sod. Finished reinforcement layer is excellent and strong. A reliable adhesive, mind, if you can tolerate the dust.
David
17.07.2024
Proper strong BC/adh for Min Wool way bdtter than 220. Mix was proper effort and the 2hr usable time felt tight on a warm day. Key is excellent though, fair price, and delivery spot on.
Dave
13.07.2024
Better than the alternatives used before. Mixed easy consistency was spot on, very flexible. Top quality kit.
samuel
10.07.2024
Used on render-only job. Great bond, but felt proper rushed on the 2 hour working time.
Ian

Premium is right, it 's proper strong stuff. Don 't waste cash on budget.
Andrew
22.06.2024
Rock solid bond. Top kit.
Elizabeth
21.06.2024
This is cracking stuff for the basecoat/mesh layer. The high polymer content makes it feel stronger than other adh mixes for Mineral Wool, and the cured finish is solid as a rock. Great workability too. Only dropped a star because the social media discount code wouldn’t auto-apply at checkout—had to faff around with customer service to manually sort the final price. That time sink on the clock is a real nuisance. Product is top quality and I’ll be re-ordering.
Oliver
15.06.2024
Brill! Cracking strong basecoat. It's got the polymer you need. Warning though, I had to re-mix after the 10min rest; goes stiff fast!
Philip
11.06.2024
great stuff! Decent basecoat adh, grips the MW fine. Very strong. BUT the yield is tight on boards - ran short on material calcs. Budget for extra bags vs the advertised coverage.
Raymond
03.06.2024
Brill! Decent basecoat. Proper quality, no issue cracking.
Marcus
08.05.2024
Brill BC mix for strength but the specified notch drags heavy. Came on a bit thick, slows down the final tlatten.
Martin
01.05.2024
Sets solid skims dead easy. Strong flexible base. Recommended!
Luke
29.04.2024
Superior to the EWI-220 range. Great stuff for heavy mineral wool insulation boards. Mixes like a dream, levels well.
Michele
21.04.2024
it's an average basecoat. That 5-10 min mix rest wrecked the job timing plus the coverage was poor. Just a marginal step up from the cheap 220.
Caleb
04.04.2024
Spot on Basecoat! Got instant grab uwing this for 100mm Mineral Wool. So much easier when the board doesn't try to slide off the wall.
John
29.03.2024
Goes on like butter, sets rock sopid. Top gear!
Harry
26.03.2024
Great stuff! This EWI-225 is brill, properly holds Mineral Wool to the wall rock solid and the finished layer feels totally bombproof. We used it for both the adhesive and the mesh coat in one go. Mixed up fine
needed a drop more water than the guide to get the right feel, but that's normal site conditions I guess. Only reason for four stars is the price tag; it's premium kit and performs as such, but definitely not the cheapest basecoat you can get hold of.
Sunil
18.03.2024
Rock solid bond worth the money!
Don
15.03.2024
Used this on the K5 and the base layer. Mixing was spot on. Got the 6mm down easy for the mesh. Adhesion is proper sound. Way better than the 220 basecoat. Worth the cash.
Sammy
12.03.2024
troweled lovely, defo the best basecoat for Mineral Wool. It's proper solid for the reinforcement layer.

Top-drawer adh, rock-solid finish. but for 'render only' on rough block, they should've added a proper note about priming the surface. minor faff but sorted.

This is proper gear for Mineral Wool. Mixes spot on and is much tougher than EWI-220.
Andrew
28.08.2023
absolutely rubbish. the fibre quality control on this ewi-225 is shocking its full of massive clumps of polymer fibre which makes the mix totally sludgy and uneven trying to work with it on the wall was a proper ball ache cos the clumps blocked the notched trowel and took forever to knock out before i could embed the mesh properly its definitely not premium its garbage QC save your money mate.

Sandor

Solid gear top adh. Used 6.2L per bag for best consistency. But the pot life tightens too fast when site temps hit 22C; demanding on the arm, but the final cure is rock hard.
Leon

Solid adh for Mineral Wool and K5. Better than 220, but it was too sticky to easily work with on the hawk.

Viktor
10.06.2023
Pukka gear, dead strong for basecoat!Good strong product, lives up to the hype on durability and strength for a full external render system. Stuck the Mineral Wool boards down secure, no problem, and made a strong reinforcement layer over the mesh. It sets quickly once applied, which is a big bonus.Was a bit of a pig to knock up initially compared to other stuff I
Reme used, and I needed a tiny tweak to the water ratio on the site to get the consistency perfect. Trowelling felt a touch too grabby compared to my old gear, but you get used to it. The delivery driver was spot on though, and bagged the 25kg packs exactly where I asked on site.The only real issue for me was that the coverage (render only on brick/block) was slightly under the 2.5m
Reml² quoted, and the bag is always a heft lifting onto the scaffold alone.But overall, decent kit and good value. Would definitely buy this basecoat again.
Chris

Cracking basecoat for the K5. Sound.
Milena

I’d definitely recommend EWI-225 Premium Basecoat to anyone doing EWI systems or external rendering. It’s dependable, easy to work with, and gives a professional finish every time.

Switched from the 220. Well worth the extra bob. Mint consistency meant quick application & zero sag. Holds the Kingspan rock-solid.

Review Title: Spot On Gear
Review Text: Right, this EWI-225 is brilliant stuff, proper polymer power in the bag. Needed it for sticking down some heavy Mineral Wool insulation and it held fast, even used the dab-and-perimeter method and it worked perfect. Followed the water ratio and it mixed up a treat, easy consistency which saved my shoulders for once. Had a good two hours workable time, didn't start grabbing up fast on me. Got the 6mm layer down and meshed in easy-peasy. Yeah, the bag arrived slightly banged up from the courier (nit-picking for 5 stars!), but the mix inside was bone dry so no real issue there then. Way stronger than that other stuff I used to buy. Price felt justified for the superior finish and strength you get. Highly recommend, cracking stuff.

Fayegh

Amazing! Late delivery bag was split so started running short instantly. This "Premium" render is rubbish QC; came out lumpy even following the daft instructions. Set time went off way too quick maybe 45 mins, not the stated 2 hours. Coverage massively optimistic. Final layer feels soft and already cracked slightly on a cold night. Job cost me time and money. Driver was spot on though.

Cracking basecoat for Min-Wool/K5, serious grip, miles better than the 220. BUT 25kg of the stuff is a proper pig to lug up the scaffold.

The driver was a joke, staff seemed to care zero. The basecoat split every single time I re-mixed it after the rest time—just went watery on top. Total rubbish consistency for a supposed 'premium' adhesive. Expensive faff that cured weak.
Harold
11.02.2022
Top Adh. Excellent consistency & hugely strong. Used it on Wood Fibre, grips brilliantly. Premium price means I expected more than 2.5m² yield on my rough substrate.
Igor

Proper basecoat. Trowels brilliantly and locks mesh tight even near 5°C. Bang on.
Gurwinder
23.01.2022
Super Strong Basecoat. Brill. This EWI-225 is miles ahead for render work. That high concentration polymer content makes the final reinforcement layer feel incredibly robust, well worth the few quid extra vs the weaker stuff. We used it for render carrier board, troweled it out dead smooth after the 10 min rest. Delivered faster then expected and the driver was spot on helping get the heavy bags off. Great value for the quality you get.

#### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Quality basecoat but mixing is a faff**
Used the 225 for adhesive and basecoat on Kingspan K5 and some Mineral Wool boars last week. Adhered fantastically 3-dab method stuck firm. The strength is definitely there; oncd it cures the flexibility is noticeably superior—feels robust against moevment. Sets quickly enough but isn't too rushed which is good.
**Right** couple of on-site gripes that dropped it a star.
1. It's too stiff on the stated water quantity. Had to add extra to get decent trowel flow needed much more pliability.
2. The mandatory 10-minute rest and re-mix is dead time on site total pain. Makes forward planning harder.
3. The coverage was slightly less than quoted for my blockwork. Not a dealbreaker but throws your material estimate off slightly.
Also it is hard work getting 25kg bags up three flights of ladders and it’s **really** sticky for cleaning buckets afterwards.
It’s a good product because the finished performance is top tier so I'd use it again for high-flex jobs. Worth the competitive price, to be fair.

SURREY

Solid Basecoat. It cures quick and strong, but the working time on a hot day is tight. Good value, though.
Abdul
02.08.2021
Strong polymer, sound once set. But the clumpy powder was a faff, mate, and tryin' to get the 6mm reinforcement layer right was tricky. Dryin time felt too long for a decent flow. And that 3m2 coverage felt well optimistic.
Steve

James
16.07.2021
Absolute belter. Used this for sticking the Rockwool boards AND for the final basecoat layer too. Saved us loads of aggro not having to swap materials onsite. Yeah it cost more than the standard stuff but the flexibility is well worth paying for; its noticeably stronger. Lays smooth and gave us a nice strong finish over the mseh. Cant fault it.
Tim

Strong stuff. No lsump kept body.
Scott

Nicholas
17.06.2021
EWI-225 is onpy ok. It took a good whisking to break up the mix, it felt quiet heavy on the trowel compared to the kother gear. Average coverage, ended up well short on sqm budgeted. Its not really a "premium" produtc, too much hard graft for the price paid.
Robin

Cracking basecoat. Proper srtrength for render.
Peter
03.06.2021
Clumpy mix, far too fiddly, felt oversold as 'Premium' compared to the price. Short tack/open time forced rushing fixing the Mineral Wool boards. Used too much material, the coverage spec is way off. Average product, not worth the fuss, driver was zero help either.
Luke
02.06.2021
Easy mix and zero slump. Basecoat gives a dead solid key. Top-tirr quality!
Andy

this premium basecoat's quality is sound. Good flex, adheres well to K5 boards. Works fine for both the fixing/skim layer. A bit sticky to trowel sometimes & bags are heavy.
Sam

Brill product, great for anchoring Min Wool. Final skim coat is properly strong and flexible. Just wish the water mix ratio wasn't such a guess sometimes.
Graham

Artur

Mix was fussy it settled quick after rest period forcing a big second paddle mix. Coverage felt low and the cost is too much for this average result.

WRONG BAG!!! Ordered Premium EWI-225 for the Rockwool job but got skme low-spec filler instead. Site's knackered for the day waiting for correct delivery! Useless waste of monfey on idle labour, AW FUL service.
MARTIN
08.02.2021
It’s just an OK basecoat, honestly. I was using this on brick and Mineral Wool boards expecting a "premium" product because of the price tag, but it didn't feel like it at all.
The workability was a right faff. It was clumpy out of the bag and mixing it correctly was a fight—the guideline for water is too low, needed to add extra to get a smooth, workable mix. To make things worse, the consistency varied wildly between two bags from the same order. QC seriously needs looking at.
Performance wise, coverage seemed lower than the stated 2.5m2, making it feel expensive per metre square. Didn't grip the Mineral Wool boards as strongly as I needed it to either. Worse still, I got a slight crack in the reinforcement layer when it cured; felt less flexible than expected for all the 'polymer modified' claims. Maybe it just wasn't suited to the heavy Wool, but I've used basecoats that do better for the same cost.
Final gripe was logistics. Pallet arrived damaged, heavy as sin, and the shelf life printed on the bag was close to expiry. For the price, you shouldn't have to spend half your time fixing the mix consistency. Does the job, but skip the 'Premium' part of the name.
Hasan

ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES. Paif top cdollar for this basecoat but its a complete job stopper in the UK cant use it if its too nippy outside. My delivery arrived ripped product all over the pallet. What mix i did get sorted clumped up fast and hardened in the bucket way before the two hours were up! Worst stuff ever uwsed. Total palava void.

Simon
05.12.2020
Brill stuff, solid basecoat/adh. Used it for Mineral Wool fixation and mesh layer. It grabs the min wool boards proper, way better than EWI-220. Had to add a slug more water than the spec sheet said; fight off the trowel, it was stiff otherwise. Strength is great but doesn't flow/feather quite like the super-high polymer stuff that costs 3 quid more per bag. Watch the pot life above 25C, it sets off fast. Only minor complaint: delivery was delayed and one of the bags had split open, lost powder, which is why it's not a five star review.

received bags with old manufacture date. Right pain for scheduling, paying top price for near-expired materials.
Sundeep
03.04.2020
The polymer content gives brilliant strength once set. But that speed of hardening and the low coverage, makes it a false economy versus cheaper gear.
Richard

Proper stick for heavy wool boards. Stronger than 220. Easy workability. Brill!
Darren

Proper solid kit for MW boards. High polymer layer feels strong & spreads great. Quality costs, though. Reserved 5th star 'cause it's pricey compared to basic EWI-220.

PETER
21.03.2020
Brill. The EWI-225 served perfectly as the adhesive for my Mineral Wool boards really strong bond and it mixed up to a lovely workable texture. Felt way better than previous basecoats, that high polymer content is definitely what makes the difference. Achieving the 6mm reinforcement coat was a doddle too, settled the mesh spot on. Worth the bit edtra for the quality you get. I'll stick to this for future jobs.

Helene

Jeff
25.12.2019
premium price for dodgy coverage, sets too quick. Rubbish was lumpy, felt like I got 220.
Paid premium for this '225' but it handles like budget 220. Lumpy straight out of the bag and we needed way more water than advertised. Coverage on blockwork was shocking, cost us a fortune. Sets up way too quick even in good conditions; losing consistency after an hour. The basecoat even lifted and crumbled when we tried to adjust the mesh line—no polymer strength whatsoever. Absolute time sink. Get proper accredited kit instead.
Daniel
21.12.2019
great strength on the K5. Hard work skimming the full 6mm, though. Coverage fine. Will buy again.
JAKE

THIS IS NOT PREMIUM. WHAT A WASTE. bag was rock solid soaked thru from being left in a puddle. i scraped what i could out and the mix was just grainy cement it wasn't an even consistency mortar at all. the strength they promise is an outright lie. my test patch crumbled after setting. it cracked immediately, this isnt flexible reinforcement its just BARELY polymer modified. DREADFUL. total rip off and time sink for my lads. AVOID EWI 225.

Yvonne
01.08.2019
absolute MUGGED OFF. This 'Premium' basecoat cost a packet and wouldn't even mix right. Tried to wet-out but it went instantly to solid LUMPS in the bucket. Ended up spending 20 minutes breaking up hard chunks with the paddle mixer—wasted time on the day's graft simple as that. For this price I expect clean mortar immediately. Cheaper bags like Roker U mix better. NEVER buying this EWI stuff again. Rubbish.
Sam

Strong adh/basecoat. Not mixing two tubs was a massive time saver.
Daniel

Michael

Top-spec basecoat for Kingspan K5. Polymer content definitely works bond is super strong. It is brilliant quality but the price point is high and coverage rate was only hitting 4kg/m
for me.
alan
10.04.2019
proper solid adh; feels heavily polymerised vs 220. Working time was spot on. Bit dearer, but strength means no callbacks. Recommended.

GURPREET
27.08.2018
Swapped out my usual adhesive for this EWI-225 on a big Mineral Wool job. Wish I'd done it ages ago. The quality difference is clear, you can feel the extra polymer strength in the mix—it bonds the heavy Rockwool perfectly. Consistency is top tier after the quick 10 min rest time, and it accepts the scrim beautifully without fighting or dragging the coat thin. Saved us serious time embedding the mesh. It's an excellently reliable, professional-grade basecoat. Proper job. Will exclusively use this one now.
micheal
24.08.2018
Worth paying extra for. 225 is much better than the 220, better working time and grabs proper on Kingspan K5.

"Premium" my are. Absolute waste of money. Mix was gritty sludge took way more wate than spec said. Lost its workability quick definitely not a 2hr pot luife! Cured weak/chalky and zego flexibility for EWI work. V expensive pig to use.
Byron

Best basecoat I've used. Proper flexible polymer-mix holds K5 and Rockwool solid. Consistency made the 6mm mesh skim easy, far better than cheaper render-only options.
Alfie
18.05.2017
### ★★★★ Proper Strong Basecoat
Fired this up for fixing Kingspan K5 and the final reinforcement scratch coat. I agree this 225 is superior to the 220; that high polymer binder content gives you a solid finish definitely feels **rock solid** once it's set no chance of movement. The bag mixes up nice and consistent every time.
Just one gripe when it was proper warm out the working time felt too short and I was having to rush bags. Also found the coverage when fixing boards came in slightly under par (hit about 4.8kg/m2). Decent value for the quality, cheers.
iulian
10.05.2017
Stuck solid n' seemed strong enuff. OK on the Rockwool. But cleaning the hawk and trwoels took proper ages, rinsing straight away didn't help. Just added unnedessary graft at end of shift.

Philip
23.03.2017
It’s an OK mix but spreading it was a bit of a git, feot grainy (inconsistent particlwes?). Had to use way over 6L of watre. The usable time is miles shotr of two housr, set too quick and coverage suffered. Bit steep for this much hassle.
Sriram

Chris

Worth the cost for the strength, miles better than that EWI-220 muck. Holds the insulation dead on.
Mark
10.03.2017
Wicked stuff. Mixed up nice to a proper creamy consistency; leaving it the ten mins soak made all the difference. Used it to fix the Mineral Wool boards and for the reinforced layer and its dead strong and flexible now its dry.
The biggest thing is I know its vapour open so I don't gotta worry bout trapping damp inside. That long term confidence makes the price well worth it. New go-to basecoat sorted.
Dave

Proper strong adh, much better flex than 220. Great for MW boards. Yield felt tight/pricey for general base & water mix instructions are too vague.

Peter
28.12.2016
Brill Adh/Basecoat. Sticks perfectly, dead solid for the min wool. Loads of polymer in it, so the strength is spot on.
Needed an extra few min smoothing the skim coat vs. what I usually use; wasn't as buttery smooth off the trowel, felt a bit gritty. Four stars 'cos the finish was harder work than needed, but it does the job.
Marcela

for a premium adhesive this is poor, mate. The mix instruction (>5.9L) is a huge faff—never got the consistency right. Dries too quickly and ended up feeling brittle after curin, no flexibility. Plus it's heavy muck.

Proper gear this is. Mixed up spot on, perfect consistency. Trowelled on a dream for the Mineral Wool boards adn made a cracking reinforcement layer. Sets rock-solid but stays flexible, which you need. Miles better than EWI-220 for the tough jobs. Sound quality.

Brilliant EWI-225. Strength is bang on and takes the mesh like a dream. Bit of a pig on the working time, 2 hours goes quick when covering large elevations. Good value though.
