Overview of Licata Rendering Islington

Licata Building Solutions have more than 50 years of experience producing and distributing world-class rendering products throughout the UK and Europe. Our industry-leading BBA and ETA-certified rendering products are renowned for their ease of use, affordability and effectiveness. The following are some of our most popular rendering systems.

Monocouche Rendering

Monocouche finishes are cement-based exterior renders that have colour mixed in. And because this rendering is a single coat that you apply over blocks or bricks, you can easily manipulate the finish to create a variety of effects.

The through-coloured technology of monocouche finishes means you don’t need to paint them. Plus, it is highly resistant to water and therefore ideal for combatting algae growth.

Plaster Rendering

Plaster as a building material has been with us since the time of the ancient Greeks. It endures because it is versatile, affordable, easy to apply and highly durable. Plaster renders have the added benefit of adhering to any substrate, drying quickly, resisting moisture and repelling algae and mould. Importantly, plaster is light enough that it will not present an undue burden on older walls and it is available in a multitude of colours.

Thin Coat Rendering

This modern render finish comes in a wide variety of colours and boasts features such as crack resistance, enhanced breathability and high durability. We offer thin coat renders in silicone, acrylic or mineral.

The most popular thin coats are silicone, due to their ability to repel dirt and stains, as well as prevent the growth of algae. Silicone renders are highly water-resistant and have a modern appearance.

Acrylic renders are similar to silicone thin coats in the fact that they can be made in many colours and are nearly as hydrophobic as silicone. Mineral renders are fast to set and are best suited for colder climates.

Why Choose Our Coloured or Insulated Rendering Systems?

Coloured Render

Insulated Renders

Insulated render can be applied to the outside of buildings to provide thermal insulation. It is used primarily in areas with cold climates, but it can also be applied in temperate areas where there are high levels of condensation. In addition, insulated render won’t decay or break down like lesser materials.

FAQs

How is a home or business prepared to receive external rendering?

Before a house or business is rendered the contractor performing the render will carefully survey the walls involved and make note of any defects or repairs that need to be done and then perform those repairs. If there is an existing render on the walls it will need to be removed before the new render layer is applied. Depending on the scale of the project scaffolding may need to be erected to provide access to upper areas. Satellite dishes, downspouts and other external fixtures will also need to be removed. Finally, doors, windows and adjacent finished surfaces will be masked off to prevent damage.

Can a homeowner DIY the render?

As you can tell from the previous question there is a lot involved in rendering a home including everything listed in the previous answer as well as mixture considerations and the application process. Should you get any of these things wrong the render could fail, in which case your quest to save money would be effectively upended. The best course of action is always to engage the services of an experienced render contractor. If you cannot find one, we can recommend one to you.

How long does it take wall coatings to dry?

The drying time will depend on the type of render that was applied. Most residential renders require 24 – 72 hours to cure properly, while cement renders can take significantly longer. If the render is rained on during the drying process it is likely to fail and need to be redone. Same if the temperature drops below 5°C during the curing process.

How long does the render application process take?

The process of preparing the surface, applying the render and allowing it to dry can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. The exact time will depend on how much prep work is necessary, the type of render that will be applied and the curing time for that particular render material. The size of the home or business will also play a crucial role in determining the overall project time.
