Rendering in Woolwich

This cement-based exterior render has the colour mixed right into it. It’s a single-coat solution that can be applied over structures made of block or brick. And thanks to its water-resistant design, you don’t have to worry about algae growth.

The finish can be modified to create a variety of effects, or you can just smooth it for a clean, modern look. What’s more, the finish is through-coloured, so you don’t need to paint it.

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 variety of colour options and features enhanced durability. As such, you benefit from crack resistance, increased breathability and greater longevity. At Licata, we have thin-coat renders available in silicone, acrylic and mineral.

Our silicone thin coats are the most popular because they repel dirt and stains as well as prevent the growth of algae. Silicone renders are water-resistant and also have an attractive look.

Acrylic renders are like thin coatings of silicone, as they can be produced in a variety of colours and are almost as hydrophobic as silicone. Mineral renders take a short time to dry and are better suited to colder climates.
