The UK is home to many properties still not having adequate insulation. If you live in Camden and need to boost your energy efficiency, contact Licata today. We offer a vast selection of renders to choose from, including colours and materials.
We offer a full range of BBA and ETA certified rendering products for all types of rendering, including but not limited to:
A cement-based exterior render, monocouche finish has colour directly mixed into it for greater convenience. Moreover, monocouche can be used as one coat on blocks or bricks.
You can even work with the finish to create various effects, or you can smooth it out to create a sleek, modern design. The finish is through-coloured, so you don’t need to apply paint. And for optimal protection, monocouche finish doesn’t promote algae growth.
Plaster is a traditional material that has proven its immense value over thousands of years. Our plaster renders are compatible with any type of substrate meaning they can be applied to a wide variety of home styles. Licata plaster renders dry quickly, provide robust waterproofing and are available in more than 700 colours. They are light, resist mould and fungi, are an extremely cost-effective upgrade for a home and will withstand the test of time.
The modern render finish is available in a variety of colours and features such as increased breathability, crack resistance and high durability. We provide thin coat renders of silicone, acrylic or mineral.
Silicone is the most popular of all thin coat renders. This is because they block dirt and stains and hinder the growth of algae. These silicone renders are also highly resistant to water, ensuring lasting performance and reliability.
Acrylic renders can be made in a variety of colours and are almost as hydrophobic as their silicone thin coat counterparts. Mineral renders are fast to dry, making them ideal for colder climates.
Through-coloured renders offer the benefit of not exhibiting flaking or chipping as painted wood, stucco, and concrete. Additionally, this exterior render is durable and easy to apply; it instantly improves the appearance of your business or home’s aesthetic appeal.
Coloured renders look great and are easy to maintain. They’re weatherproof, breathable, and can be used to increase the longevity and health of structures. Pick Licata’s affordable coloured rendering systems if you wish to instantly increase the value and quality of your home or business.
Improve your Camden home or business’s insulation with our insulated renders. Your energy usage will decrease, and you will enjoy increased comfort levels. If your property is lacking in external insulation, this render will serve you well.
If you want to ensure the job is done right then, yes. Keep in mind too that contractors are insured, so if anything goes wrong with the render you’re covered. If you do the render yourself and make mistakes you will take the financial hit that comes with removing the render and starting over. Obtaining the desired finish, whether that is smooth or textured, is also something that takes practice and experience. It is possible you may achieve exactly what you’re after if you DIY the render, but the truth is it’s not likely. Leave it to the pros.
The UK is one of the dampest countries on earth. And while that’s great for creating a lush, green environment all that moisture is not good for homes. And that’s been the case since the first dwellings were built in the British Isles. A professionally applied render from Licata is one of the best known ways to prevent penetrating exterior walls. At the same time most of our renders are highly breathable so any moisture that does penetrate does not get stuck behind the render layer.
There are two primary reasons why problems arise with renders. The first is the DIY application. The second is that shortly after the render is applied it is exposed to heavy rain and/or freezing temperatures. Keep in mind that renders typically take anywhere from 24-72 hours to set (depending on the type of render). If they are exposed to hostile weather during the curing process the render is likely to fail. Ideally, renders should be applied during periods of warm, dry weather.
We would strongly recommend against applying a new render over an existing render. That’s because the new render is unlikely to adhere properly to the old render, with the result being a cracked render that falls away not long after being applied.
