Overview of Licata Rendering Maidstone

Licata Building Solutions have more than 50 years of experience producing and distributing world-class rendering products throughout the UK and Europe. Our industry-leading BBA and ETA-certified rendering products are renowned for their ease of use, affordability and effectiveness. The following are some of our most popular rendering systems.

Monocouche Rendering

The French term “monocouche” translates roughly to “one coat” and accurately describes this type of Licata rendering. Maidstone home and business owners who opt for a monocouche render will enjoy long term relief on their energy bills and they will not have to invest time and treasure every few years in painting since the monocouche render is through-coloured. This type of render is also hydrophobic and will resist mould and algae.

Plaster Rendering

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.

Thin Coat Rendering

The widespread appeal of our thin coat rendering systems is due to their cost-effective versatility. There are 3 different materials that form the basis of our thin coat systems: silicone, acrylic and mineral, with the different materials being indicated for different environmental conditions.

The Right Renders for Your Needs

Insulated Renders

Temperature can be a powerful enemy to your home. Temperatures can cause your home’s materials to expand or contract depending on how they react to changes in temperature. This can result in the home losing its integrity over time, and it will be less durable.

Licata insulation renders can prevent this from happening by stabilizing the temperatures outside walls. However, installing this type of wall insulation is a complex task that should only ever be undertaken by a licensed contractor.

Plaster Renders

Despite the development of very durable synthetic-based materials that are more durable, plaster rendering in Maidstone is still very common. This is because plaster render has a limitless range of uses.

With equal effectiveness, a plaster render can also be applied to a variety of substrates. It can also be applied in many different ways to meet design requirements. Our plaster renders are available in a wide range of colours. Even better, plaster renders will not trap water.

FAQs

What is the best thin coat render?

All thin coat renders provide a host of benefits. That said, the consensus is that silicone is the gold standard of thin coat renders due to its outstanding breathability and its equally outstanding vapour permeability, (which allows moisture to pass through, thereby preventing water damage, mould and other problems). A quality silicone render also has a lot of aesthetic appeal and is self-cleaning. Silicone renders are also very flexible, making them a great choice for homes that are prone to settling, and they are incredibly durable.

Can I apply new external rendering over an old render?

We would strongly advise against it, primarily because the surface of the old render is unlikely to provide enough grip for the new render layer, meaning the new render will flake off before long. It will entail work but the right thing to do is to remove the previous render layer before applying the new render material.

Is it possible my render may fail?

It is by no means common but it is possible for a render to fail. There are typically 2 reasons behind a render failing. The first is the DIY application. Rendering may appear from a distance to be a straightforward process, but it actually requires a high degree of training and experience on behalf of the renderer. The other reason renders fail has to do with the weather. If it rains during the render application, or during the drying period for the render (usually 24-72 hours), it is likely the render will fail. A render may also fail if the temperature drops below 5°C during the curing process.

Will I need planning permission for a render?

It will depend on several factors. For most homes in Kent a render will be considered “permitted development” and planning permission will not be necessary. As long, that is, as the render does not fundamentally alter the appearance of the home. But there are exceptions. If, for instance, the house is a Listed Building, or if it is located in a National Park, AONB or other Conservation Area you will almost always need planning permission.

The cost of rendering your property may seem like a lot. But the benefits of investing in this bundle of protection may end up saving you more than you initially spent. For example, insulated homes are safer from fire, and their residents achieve better health due to reduced indoor air pollution.

Rendering also reduces your energy costs and increases comfort levels. The bottom line is, when you invest in home insulation, you’re not only protecting your family’s well-being but also saving money over the long term.
