Rendering

​Rendering can be explained as a form of exterior cladding for a property. There are many forms of cladding, but rendering is probably the most common to see in the UK. It is applied to exterior walls in a similar fashion to plaster being applied to interior walls.

The use of render is becoming more and more popular, year on year, and for very good reason. It comes in a large range of finishes, and in an enormous amount of colours. There are renders to suit all budgets, and it can be applied to suit both contemporary and traditional properties.

When chosen well, and applied by professionals, render is a perfect way to cover and preserve a tired property exterior, while at the same time updating it and providing a smart, modern look. Render will add value to your property and provide protection from the elements. Render really is a miracle product. 
​
The most common reasons for rendering a house are:
​

• To protect the underlying material from the effects or wind and rain
• To update the exterior and give it a clean, modern appearance.

Both may come about when the exterior is starting to look tired and dated. 

Which form of render is most suitable for my property ?

Masters of Plaster will advise you, from many years of experience, but in general, render falls into the following categories;

Cement Render
This is the traditional form of render, and has been used for decades. It is usually mixed onsite and applied in three layers, the last one being extremely smooth and shiny, ready for the application of paint. Cement render tends to be cheaper in terms of materials, but more expensive in terms of labour. It requires regular painting in order to look good. 

Polymer Render
These are new, modern products, and are becoming very popular. They are usually sold premixed in bags, with cement or lime as a base. The render contains various polymers and plastic additives to make it flexible, and less prone to cracking. Its also coloured, so takes away the need for painting. 

Acrylic Render
This form of render is applied as a thin coat, to seal and enhance the appearance of the underlying material. Fibres are added to give it a tough, flexible finish that lasts for years. It can also be used to bring colour and texture. Sometimes, silicon is added, to give even more flexibility and durability.

K-Rend
K-Rend, based in the UK, manufacture a great range of modern high-tech silicone rendering products. Silicone render is durable, flexible and waterproof. It's made in an enormous range of finishes and a vast range of colours. It is maintenance free and will last for 20-40 years, depending on the quality of the preparation.

Lime Render
Like lime plaster, lime render is the traditional way of rendering a property in the UK. its a little harder to apply than more modern products, and is mostly used when renovating and repairing older houses. Its main advantage is its breath-ability. It allows old walls to breath and release moisture, which doesn't happen using cement render.

Lime render is attractive, and gives great texture, as well as enhancing the look of older homes. With the advent of newer lime render products such as K-Lime which include polymer enhancement, lime render is becoming easier to use and will become a more common sight in the UK.

Rendering

I needed a local rendering company, rather than a national faceless company, so I could find them if anything went wrong. Plastering Birmingham were brilliant. They gave good advice and were well priced too.

Our Cottage

We bought a cottage, and the render wasn't very good. We found Plastering Birmingham online, and they were really good. Its always better to use a local plastering service, in my opinion, and they were the best. Our rendering looks fantastic

Render

I'd used Plastering Birmingham before, for plastering walls, so I was familiar with their standard of work. When I wanted some rendering, to update my property, I called them first. They were knowledgeable and did a good job.
