Rendering
​
CEMENT RENDER
Cement renders are some of the most durable types of renders available. Stronger than a lime render, this sealed or painted render can provide additional support to a building when applied. It helps prevent the penetration of dampness or water through exterior walls.
Using a cement (most common is Portland cement) render is not recommended for an older home as it’s extremely rigid and could crack or break easily.
Cement renders are a popular option for builders and homeowners alike as they are a more cost-effective option compared to lime or polymer renders, cures quicker than most and is typically easier to apply. This is one of the most popular rendering options.
​
MONOCOUCHE RENDER
‘Mono,’ meaning one or singular and ‘couche,’ being French for diagonal, put together means, “single layer.” As a render, it provides protection from weather and adds decorative elements.
This modern type of rendering does not require a base coat and is often considered a good fit for new buildings and properties. Monocouche renderings are available in a wide range of colours through adding lime or polymer renders.
