VITCAS 20 Kg Fireplace Render – Easy Application - Plaster Base Coat – Dry Powder Material – Rendering Bricks and Concrete - Fireplace Breeze Block – Heat Resistance Up to 1400 degree Celsius

Used to cover in an old fireplace prior to a wood burner being fitted. So easy to use and easy to apply. Even now after a year, no cracks at all. Great value for money.

Bought to repair after removing an old fireplace. Mixed in small batches using the weight to water ratio as instructed. Found it very easy to use and I am a DIYer, will be coating again prior to placing the inset panel

Found dealing direct with Vitcas a little strange at first for I had tried to by the product on line without success, however staff very polite and goods despatched same day, for next day delivery.

Does what it says on the tin.

Hard to get a decent finish. Very expensive for the coverage it achieves.

I’ve been plastering for over ten years now, and thought I would give this a go to render some block work on the inside of a fireplace where a log burner was being installed. Not only does it have poor adhesion, it’s filled with so much thick gravel if you’re looking at using a render finish for a rustic look you’ve got no chance… I ended up having to scrape it off in the end making an absolute mess. Just reading the comments from other plasters on the forums confirm this stuff is awful. I’ll be sticking with lime and cement render in future…. Avoid

this really is an excellent product and I can highly recommend it to anyone who is mending stoves and fireplaces
