We offer a series of independently certified CPD seminars designed to help architects, specifiers, contractors and construction professionals make more informed decisions on render, external wall insulation, lime systems and subfloor preparation.

Each session is arranged and hosted by Fassa Bortolo and delivered by our technical specialists, giving you practical insights into system selection, substrate compatibility, performance requirements, detailing and compliance.

Whether you're working on a new build, refurbishment, conservation, timber frame construction, severe exposure locations or flooring projects, our CPD seminars are designed to support confident specification and better long-term project outcomes.

Choose from six seminar topics: 

1. An informative guide to render solutions

Gain a clear overview of modern render systems, including mineral, silicone, acrylic and lime-based finishes, so you can specify the right solution for the right substrate and project requirements.

2. Solutions for render in very severe locations

Understand how to approach façade design in areas exposed to high wind-driven rain and extreme weather, with practical guidance on exposure zones, system build-ups, durability and compliance.

3. Render systems for timber frame construction

Learn how to specify render systems for timber frame projects with greater confidence, taking account of moisture management, movement, compatibility and long-term structural protection.

4. A guide to modern lime render systems

Explore the role of modern lime render systems in refurbishment, conservation and bio-architecture, including how to balance traditional materials with contemporary performance expectations.

5. The essential guide to external wall insulation

Build a stronger understanding of EWI system components, thermal performance, fire considerations and regulatory compliance, including how EWI can support energy efficiency and façade improvement.

6. A guide to subfloor preparation

Understand the critical role of substrate preparation in flooring performance, including moisture control, levelling compounds and compatibility with different floor finishes.
