Monocouche Rendering

This exterior render made of cement has the colour already mixed into it. Monocouche is a single layer that you can apply over brick or block structures. You can manipulate the finish to create a variety of effects. Moreover, it is not necessary to paint the finish. It is highly resistant to water and also resists algae growth.

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

This modern render finish is available in various colours and comes with features such as crack resistance, improved breathability and long-lasting performance. We have thin coat renders of silicone, acrylic and mineral for you to choose from.

Most clients choose silicone thin coats because of their capacity to keep dirt and stains out and also to stop the development of algae. What’s more, silicone renders have a sleek appearance and are water-resistant.

Acrylic renders are available in a variety of colours, and are almost as hydrophobic as silicone thin coats. Mineral renders set quickly and are better suited to colder climates.

Why You Should Use an Coloured Rendering and Insulated Rendering System

Coloured Renders

Through-coloured renders are stronger than painted wood, stucco and concrete. Additionally, this exterior render is extremely durable and simple to apply. It instantly adds value to your property or kerb appeal and won’t chip or flake.

Coloured renderings are very attractive and easy to maintain. Due to their weatherproof and breathable properties, they promote the health and longevity of the structures they’re placed on. To quickly increase your Lambeth property’s appearance, choose Licata cost-effective colour rendering systems.

Insulated Renders

Insulated render can be applied to the exterior of buildings to provide thermal insulation. It is used primarily in areas of structures that lack insulation. Insulated render is a long-lasting material that helps to improve interior temperatures.

Insulation of buildings is essential in ensuring a comfortable indoor environment and reducing energy usage. This render is often preferred because it provides excellent insulation without compromising the design of your home or business.

FAQs

Why do homeowners choose to render their home?

People choose to render their homes for a variety of reasons. Some want to improve the curb appeal of their home, which the right render will certainly do. Others want to solve the problem they have with moisture penetrating their exterior walls damaging framing, insulation, wiring and other things. Some are most concerned with making their home more energy efficient. While still others are looking for a cost-effective way to extend the life of their home. Some people do it for all the above reasons and more.

Do you need planning permission to apply external rendering?

In some cases, a rendering project will be considered “permitted development”. This is usually the case if the render will not fundamentally change the appearance of the house. In other cases, however, planning permission will be required. For example: if the home is a Listed Building, or if it is located in a National Park or other Conservation Area. Planning permission will also likely be required if the render will significantly change the look of the house.

What’s the best type of external wall insulation for a moisture problem?

It is generally agreed that a silicone render is best for alleviating a moisture problem. Silicone rendering is extremely hydrophobic and quite breathable. They are also flexible so cracks that might let in moisture are unlikely to appear even if the house settles. If there is a downside to silicone renders it’s that they are among the most expensive types of render. But in this instance, it’s a case of getting what you pay for.

What’s the best type of render for an old house?

Old homes present unique problems when it comes to rendering, but most professional renderers agree that a lime render is your best choice for an old house. Lime is very flexible (important since most old houses tend to settle). It’s also quite breathable, which prevents moisture from collecting behind the render layer causing slow-motion damage. A lime render also tends to produce a more traditional look than other renders. And because it’s a natural material it is one of the most eco-friendly render types.
