Monocouche Rendering

Monocouche means “one coat” in French. This is a through colour render that is suitable for a wide variety of substrates, including brick and blockwork. The monocouche render is hydrophobic, durable, flexible and low maintenance.

Plaster Rendering

Plaster renders have been in use since the days of the ancient Greeks. Licata plaster renders are hydrophobic, quick-drying, lightweight and compatible with virtually any type of substrate. As a bit of icing on the cake, they’re available in more than 700 colours.

Thin Coat Rendering

Licata thin coat renders are formulated using either a silicone, acrylic or mineral base. Silicone is very durable and the most popular. Acrylic is highly flexible and a good choice for older structures. While mineral renders dry fast even in cold weather.

Insulated Renders

Temperature is the most perilous force against your home. Your home’s materials expand and contract as temperatures change. This contraction and expansion can cause damage to the home’s integrity and reduce its lifespan.

Licata offers an insulated render that can help stop this from happening by stabilising external wall temperatures. However, this type of wall insulation can be a difficult task that should only be done by a professional using BBA-certified materials.

Plaster Renders

Despite the availability of durable synthetic materials, plaster rendering in Bromley remains a common practice. Why? The plaster render’s versatility is unmatched. The plaster render can be applied to any substrate with equal effectiveness. You can apply the plaster render in many different ways to suit your design needs.

We also offer a variety of colours, and our plaster renders are lightweight and won’t trap moisture. To find the solution that works best for you, contact Licata today.

FAQs

Why choose a render over painting?

Homeowners choose a render system from Licata over painting because it provides superior protection from rainwater penetration and weathering. A colour-through render also has a leg up on paint because, unlike paint that will chip and peel over time, a colour-through render will retain a uniform colour even after years of exposure to the elements. And let’s not forget that you can create a variety of textures with a render in order to satisfy your aesthetic requirements.

Will a thermal render negate the need for adding more insulation?

If you have cavity walls on the exterior of your home and you were contemplating adding insulation to them to enhance the liveability of your home, that may not be necessary. A thermal render from Licata is for all practical purposes an added insulative layer that will help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. And unlike cavity wall insulation a thermal render will enhance the curb appeal of your home at the same time it makes it more livable.

Will a render layer stop moisture penetration?

All Licata external render products are formulated to prevent moisture either penetrating or getting trapped behind the render layer. The degree of moisture protection will depend on the type of render you choose. It is generally agreed that the most hydrophobic type of render is a silicone render. So if moisture is a big issue with your home a silicone render may be exactly what you need.

Is it possible for a render to fail?

It is by no means common but there are certain circumstances that may cause a render to fail. Chief among these is inclement weather setting in shortly after the render is applied and before it sets. It typically takes anywhere from 24-72 hours for a render to set. If during that time the render is exposed to heavy rain or freezing temperatures there may be problems including textural issues, colour inconsistencies, lime blooms and more. 

How long will a render last?

A high-quality render from Licata will typically last 25-30 years. In some cases more.
