Rendering in Kent

“Monocouche” is a French word meaning “one coat”. This particular type of render is through coloured so there is no painting necessary after the render cures. Monocouche rendering is algae resistant, hydrophobic, easy to apply and produces a clean, attractive finish that works well with a variety of home and building styles. A monocouche render can also be applied with a render pump, saving time for the contractor and money for the customer.

Licata external wall rendering systems are available in more than 700 colours so you can be sure there is one that is right for your home, business or project. The great benefit of a through-coloured render is that the surface does not need to be painted after the render is applied.

In addition, should the surface become scratched, scraped or chipped the colour of the exposed portion will be identical to the original surface colour, making the damage very difficult to notice. Our coloured rendering systems are also flexible, breathable, hydrophobic and will not abide mould or algae.

There are 3 types of thin coat renders: silicone, acrylic and mineral. All of them are cost-effective home enhancements that are easy to apply, exhibit a high degree of breathability and resist cracking. Silicone thin coats retain their bright, attractive appearance for many years and are highly water-resistant. Acrylic thin coats are the most flexible type of render, which makes them a good choice for older homes where a typical sand and concrete render might be prone to cracking. And mineral renders set quickly and are most often recommended for cold areas.
