Do You Need a Rendering Supplier in Guildford?

Temperatures in North London typically hover around freezing during the winter months and frequently dip below that. Snow is not uncommon and north winds can howl through producing bone-rattling wind chill effects. If a home here is poorly insulated it will generate outrageous energy bills and produce an unhealthy environment in which to live. Licata produces world-class materials and tools for rendering in North London that can make a world of difference.

We have more than 5 decades of experience producing and distributing rendering materials for exterior walls. All our materials are both BBA and ETA certified, which means they meet or exceed the highest building materials standards in both the UK and Europe. We also partner with select contractors to perform high profile rendering projects throughout the capital.

Different Types of External Render Systems

We offer a variety of external rendering services and systems so there is sure to be one that is exactly right for your Surrey home or business.

Monocouche Rendering

The French word “monocouche” translates roughly to mean “one coat”, which tells you all you need to know about this particular rendering system. The single monocouche render layer can be easily applied to brick or blockwork surfaces, is through coloured and water-resistant.

Although it is technically a single layer a monocouche render is typically applied in two passes, which then meld together forming the single layer of the name. The surface of this type of render can be manipulated to produce whatever type of texture you or your customer is interested in. That includes scraped, dry-dashed and roughcast.

Plaster Rendering

London is farther north on the globe than Montreal and Toronto, Canada, as well as all of Japan, Korea and Mongolia. For a significant portion of the year, North London is wrapped in darkness and cold. Woe unto those whose home is poorly insulated.

Licata insulated rendering systems help smooth over damaged or weakened exterior walls of a home, increase its energy efficiency by as much as 25% and extend its life. Once installed an insulated render also provides robust damp proofing and gives a tidy bump to the market value of the home.

Thin Coat Rendering

We provide 3 types of thin coat renders: silicone, acrylic and mineral. Thin coat renders are easy to apply, hydrophobic, crack resistant and attractive. Silicon thin coats are known for their durability and water resistance. Acrylic thin coats are prized for their flexibility and ease of maintenance. While mineral thin coats dry quickly and are typically applied to homes and businesses in traditionally colder areas. If you want to perform a serious upgrade to your home but don’t want to drain your savings account dry to do it, thin coat renders are a great choice.

Rendering in North London for Home and Business

Nearly 40%, or 9.5 million British homes were built before World War II. That’s a staggering number for several reasons, but mostly because of what it says about the energy efficiency of British homes. Prior to the oil shocks of the 1970s few people had paid much attention to things like home insulation, and there remains a large percentage of those pre-World War II homes that are underperforming from an insulation standpoint.

The best, fastest, most cost-effective way to rectify that situation is with rendering of exterior walls to seal them against the elements. Licata provides an array of different rendering systems and plastering services that will allow you to do just that. Keep in mind too that enhancing the energy efficiency of a house increases its market value as well.
