A Traditional, Durable Finish That Protects Against Weather
Overview
Cement rendering is a time-tested, cost-effective solution for protecting and enhancing external walls. Made from a mixture of sand, cement, and lime, it provides a strong, long-lasting finish that withstands harsh weather conditions. Ideal for both residential and commercial properties, cement rendering offers a traditional yet versatile look.
Process
- Surface Preparation – The wall is cleaned, and any existing loose material is removed. A bonding agent may be applied to improve adhesion.
- Mixing the Render – The cement, sand, and lime mixture is prepared to achieve the right consistency.
- Application – The first coat (scratch coat) is applied to create a solid base. Once dry, a second finishing coat is applied and smoothed.
- Curing & Drying – The render is left to dry and cure properly before painting or further finishing.
Benefits
- Highly durable and impact-resistant.
- Protects against harsh weather conditions.
- Cost-effective and versatile, suitable for various finishes.
A Flexible, Crack-Resistant Solution Available in Various Colors
Overview
Acrylic rendering is a modern alternative to traditional cement rendering, incorporating acrylic (a type of plastic) into the mix. This enhances flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking and making it ideal for both new and old buildings. It also comes in a variety of colors and textures, allowing for more design customization.
Process
- Wall Preparation – The surface is cleaned, and a primer is applied to improve adhesion.
- Render Application – The acrylic render is applied in thin coats using a trowel or spray technique.
- Texturing & Finishing – The surface can be smoothed or textured, depending on the desired appearance.
- Drying & Sealing – The render is allowed to dry, forming a tough, flexible, and waterproof layer.
Benefits
- Superior flexibility, reducing cracks and wear over time.
- Available in a wide range of colors and finishes.
- Water-resistant and highly durable, making it ideal for exterior walls.
A Breathable, Water-Repellent Finish for Long-Term Protection
Overview
Silicone rendering is an advanced rendering solution designed for ultimate weather protection. It combines breathability and water repellency, allowing moisture to escape while preventing water from penetrating the walls. This makes it particularly suitable for properties in damp or rainy environments.
Process
- Surface Preparation – The wall is cleaned and primed with a special bonding agent to ensure strong adhesion.
- Base Coat Application – A base coat with reinforcing mesh is applied for extra durability.
- Silicone Render Application – The silicone-enhanced render is applied evenly, creating a uniform, water-resistant surface.
- Final Curing – The render is left to dry, forming a breathable yet protective finish.
Benefits
- Water-repellent and highly resistant to weather damage.
- Breathable material prevents trapped moisture and damp issues.
- Low-maintenance with a long-lasting, fresh appearance.
A Modern, Low-Maintenance Option in a Variety of Colors
Overview
Monocouche rendering is a contemporary one-coat rendering system that combines both durability and aesthetic appeal. Available in a range of colors, it eliminates the need for painting while providing excellent weather protection and insulation.
Process
- Surface Preparation – The wall is cleaned, and a base coat is applied to ensure adhesion.
- Render Application – A single layer of pre-mixed, color-through render is applied using a spray or trowel technique.
- Scraping & Texturing – Once partially set, the surface is scraped to create a textured or smooth finish.
- Curing & Drying – The render is left to fully dry, ensuring a strong and durable exterior.
Benefits
- Pre-colored, eliminating the need for painting.
- Low-maintenance and resistant to fading or discoloration.
- Provides excellent insulation and weather protection.
