Rendering in North London

The French word “monocouche” translates roughly to mean “one coat”, which tells you all you need to know about this particular rendering system. The single monocouche render layer can be easily applied to brick or blockwork surfaces, is through coloured and water-resistant.

Although it is technically a single layer a monocouche render is typically applied in two passes, which then meld together forming the single layer of the name. The surface of this type of render can be manipulated to produce whatever type of texture you or your customer is interested in. That includes scraped, dry-dashed and roughcast.

London is farther north on the globe than Montreal and Toronto, Canada, as well as all of Japan, Korea and Mongolia. For a significant portion of the year, North London is wrapped in darkness and cold. Woe unto those whose home is poorly insulated.

Licata insulated rendering systems help smooth over damaged or weakened exterior walls of a home, increase its energy efficiency by as much as 25% and extend its life. Once installed an insulated render also provides robust damp proofing and gives a tidy bump to the market value of the home.

We provide 3 types of thin coat renders: silicone, acrylic and mineral. Thin coat renders are easy to apply, hydrophobic, crack resistant and attractive. Silicon thin coats are known for their durability and water resistance. Acrylic thin coats are prized for their flexibility and ease of maintenance. While mineral thin coats dry quickly and are typically applied to homes and businesses in traditionally colder areas. If you want to perform a serious upgrade to your home but don’t want to drain your savings account dry to do it, thin coat renders are a great choice.
