Plaster and façade cladding play a vital role in the finish of an external thermal insulation system. They help to protect the insulated façade whilst enhancing its aesthetic appeal: texture, colour and overall finish. At Centrale ITE, you’ll find a selection of finishing products for your external insulation projects – whether for new builds or renovations – aimed at both building professionals and private individuals.

Its pastel base can be tinted using the ColorLife tinting system, allowing you to achieve the desired colour for your project. The product incorporates protection against the growth of algae and mould, good water vapour permeability and low absorption of liquid water, ensuring the façade is durably protected from the elements.
Once the insulation has been installed and the reinforced base coat applied, the finishing stage is a crucial part of an external thermal insulation project. It contributes to the appearance of the façade and helps protect it from external stresses. The choice of render or cladding must therefore take into account the external thermal insulation system used, the characteristics of the substrate and the desired finish. On Centrale ITE, explore our dedicated category for façade renders and cladding. Whether you’re a façade specialist, a tradesperson, a company specialising in energy-efficient renovation or a private individual, you can search for the finishing products best suited to your external insulation project.
The choice of a finishing coat for an external thermal insulation system depends on several factors: the type of insulation, the nature of the base coat, the manufacturer’s specifications and the desired aesthetic appearance. Not all finishes are compatible with all external thermal insulation systems. It is therefore essential to check the technical recommendations before selecting a product. Finishing renders give the façade its final appearance. Depending on the product chosen, they can produce different finishes: trowelled, scraped, ribbed or textured. The choice of texture and colour contributes to the architectural identity of the building, whether it is a detached house, a block of flats or a commercial building. For your external thermal insulation (ETI) works, opt for a render specifically designed for the system in question. Compatibility with the reinforced base coat and the application conditions must be checked in the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
