Rendering in Islington

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 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.

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.
