Render and External Wall

Render is both a decorative and protective addition to a house, used for many decades to enhance homes around the UK. It can be purely decorative, highlighting features such as bays or insets, or more protective across a full wall or entire house. Traditional render is a formulated mix of sand and cement applied to the brick face of the house walls after appropriate beading and supporting frame has been positioned around windows, doors and the damp course. Any external ventilation bricks are protected to avoid blocking and reducing damp protection. Damp courses are then coated in a black waterproof coat as part of the final finish. The surface of the render can be either smoothed for a fine finish, ‘scratched’ for a rougher surface or have texture added by the application of aggregates such as quartz, coloured gravels etc (eg pebble dash). Any paint applied needs to be an approved weather proof formula to avoid rapid deterioration, unsightly peeling as well as the attack of algae and lichens that can embed themselves in the surface of poor quality materials. Correctly applied and maintained render provides protection for the house brick from weathering and damp, some limited additional insulation through the extra layer reducing heat loss, and can present an old house with a new look, revitalising its appearance and the enjoyment of living within, as well as its sale appeal.
