POLYSTYRENE CLADDING FACADES (NEXT-GEN CLADDING)

Ideal Group specializes in the installation, rendering and panting of lightweight polystyrene external cladding. We are fully accredited and are Rockcote preferred applicator. Our System comes with a 15-year product warranty and all the products we use are Australian owned and manufactured.

Installation of Rmax Thermawall:

Rmax Thermawall is one of the best-insulated cladding systems on the market. Rmax is made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), it is environmentally friendly and is non-toxic as well as odorless, biologically inert and contains no HCFCs. It has an insulation rating of R2.5 and is one of the only polystyrene boards that contain a fire retardant that is BAL-29 compliant.

We use a full cavity system that includes a breathable sarking, a 40x25mm Rmax EPS cavity batten and all starter tracks and flashings.

Rendering of Rmax Thermawall using Rockcote RRR system:

ROCKCOTE Reinforced Render (RRR) System is a screeded rein- forced render with a flexible acrylic finish suitable for installation over EPS (expanded polystyrene) that carries a complete system warranty.

As a Rockcote preferred applicator Ideal Group follows the strict guidelines set out by Rockcote when rendering over EPS panels. Firstly a cement based polymer modified render (Rockcote PM100) is applied and reinforced with alkali resistant fiberglass mesh (Rockcote reinforced mesh) over the entire wall. This stage is followed with an acrylic top-coat (Rockcote texture).

Painting of Rendered Rmax Thermawall Panels:

The rendered panels are painted with two coats of Rockcote Armour, which is a high performance, flexible acrylic membrane protective coating that provides a high level of protection and durability

The Ideal Group have gone above and beyond to deliver a high quality finish for our home. From the initial planning stage through to the project itself it was a pleasure working with Ben and his team. We were particularly grateful for the after care commitment, including touch-ups and professional cleaning, which has made all the difference. Each member of the team was friendly, professional and had a high attention to detail and commitment to quality. No hesitation recommending The Ideal Group to anyone wanting to bring their home into the 21st Century.

Ben and the Ideal team were great to deal with! Communication was open , honest and transparent throughout the whole process and always returned my calls in a timely manner. Every step of each stage was explained before, during and after commencement. I would highly recommend the Ideal team as they really care about the final product of their work and they are passionate in what they do!

The walls around my swimming pool area were in a pretty bad shape with render peeling off and rust from the beads breaking through to the surface. Ben and his team fixed it all up for me. They were extremely professional with meticulous attention to details. They protected all the traffic areas and cleaned up afterwards. I couldn't be happier. You can see that they have great pride in their job, which is rightly justified.

We are thrilled with the cladding job that Ben and his team have completed for us and which has made such a difference to our home’s energy efficiency - we are warm in winter now! The quality of the job and finish is outstanding and we have really valued the strong attention to detail in all aspects of the work. Ben and the team have been excellent to deal with - professional, efficient, responsive and dependable. He delivered what he said he would with no fuss. Can recommend unhesitatingly.

Ben and his team have just insulated and rendered our 1950s monocrete house in O'Connor. It's made a massive difference to the temperature, because the thermal mass is protected from the exterior cold. The flexible render should also prevent the house expanding and contracting in Summer....goodbye to cracked paint when the expansion joints shift! We can highly recommend Ben and the Ideal Group. We came to them through a neighbour -- also a monocrete insulation -- and found them just as promised. Ben assessed the house, advised us extensively, and provided an accurate quote so that we could budget and organise around our other big project of replacing the windows. Ben's team work well together and are all helpful and friendly -- happy to just get on and apply their expertise, but also to explain things if you want to understand what's happening. Particular thanks are due to Antonio, one of the foremen, who reworked and reworked the insulation to deal with some complex corners, just as if it was his own house. We have no experience of building or renovation, but thanks to Ben and the team, the process was much less stressful than expected. Ben knows his stuff, and is highly experienced with Canberra's extreme climate. The job started exactly when he said it would and finished on time. He kept us up-to-date with progress, and was unfazed and proactive in dealing with any issues. He also took care of the logistics, recommending a plumber who liaised direct with Ben's team about the hot water unit, drainpipes etc. so that we didn't have to keep track of the different stages. Ben's team all tease him about his obsession with getting the job done right, but it's obvious that they respect Ben as an employer and a professional, and you can't get a better recommendation than that. For renovators who have no idea what they're doing and who need an expert they can trust, the Ideal Group really are who you need! With very many thanks to Ben, Antonio, Jimmy, Manoj and their teams, All the best, Bethany and AJ

Ideal Group recently rendered and painted my very tired looking house in Deakin. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Ben is very customer focused and always had time to answer my questions about the process and end result. Which was above expectation. He and his team were particularly conscientious about dealing with the tenants on site and tidying up at the end of the job. I would recommend Ideal Group in a heartbeat and look forward to working with them in the future.

The Ideal Group repaired a large section of my hail damaged rendered wall. They were very good communicators, friendly, respectful and punctual. The quality of their work was very professional. I would engage Ideal Group again.
