Why is it Necessary to Render Walls?
-
Prevents damp-caused damages
Water will seep in through the brick wall and into the building resulting in water damage, which will then become costly to fix. Applying a layer of render to the outer part of the building’s wall creates a barrier that blocks the passage of water and prevents damp-caused damages.
-
Weatherproofing
When you apply a protective coating to the walls of your home, it prevents water from seeping. Rendering is also a great way to stop penetrating damp.
-
Insulation
You can enjoy a comfortable temperature in your home throughout the year, as it helps with low-cost energy bills.
-
External Styling
Without a doubt, one of the main reasons why property owners prefer to have a rendering done on their building is to improve its look. A render coat layer can immediately brighten up weathered walls and give a new look to your house. If your property is not selling at its market value due to weathering over the years of exposure, adding a layer of render will transform your property’s look.

Render Removal
Render as well as strip wall to bricks and apply a new render. We have years of experience in rendering & painting. In most cases, we can match the existing render and apply patch fixes to the existing render. This is while the existing coating render is not too old or badly weathered.
-
External Insulated Render
Did you know, over 30% of a building’s energy is lost through its external walls and that in most cases, a cement solution will not give the complete energy efficiency your building needs? To optimise your building’s energy efficiency performance, we recommend that you use external insulated renders to cover the building walls, increase its terminal efficiency, and optimise internal temperature all year round to reduce how much you spend on utilities well as your carbon footprint.
-

Our Render Systems
-
Acrylic Render
The acrylic render comes in pre-mixed tubs of acrylic resin. When it is laid, it creates a stained and water-resistant surface. Acrylic render is the cheapest render solution (in terms of materials and labour costs) and delivers an astonishingly beautiful look.

Coloured Render System
Coloured render is a mix-and-match batch of render, pre-coloured during the manufacturing stage. This type of render can be applied using a spray, which reduces the amount of scaffolding needed and labour costs. Through coloured renders are especially great because they do not require painting and provide long-term protection on any surface they are laid on. Using through-coloured renders produces a stunning pebble dashed finish that perfectly contrasts the render colour against the spar colour.

Traditional Cement Render
Cement renders are stronger than lime render, making them one of the most durable types of rendering currently available. Cement renders are sealed or painted to provide extra support to a building when applied. Cement renders also prevent the penetration of damp or water through exterior walls.
[Back to Table of Content] -
Lime Render
Lime render gives old houses a natural-looking finish that doesn’t alter the original look of the building. Traditional lime render also is more forgiving and flexible than modern cement (cement render should never be applied or used on old solid wall units).

FAQs
Below you will find answers to common questions that might be handy when reaching us:
Can you pressure wash a rendered surface?
A pressure washer is great for washing concrete and stone, but pressure washing for render not recommended. When you pressure wash a rendered surface, it causes chips on the surface of the wall.
Is it possible to render over old existing render coat?
We do not recommend this. Existing renders typically finished with a paint or thin coat, a weak interface not suitable for laying a fresh render coat. Besides, accumulated dirt on the render for a soft intermediate would stop the newly applied render from bonding properly.
Is rendering in my house a valuable investment for my property value?
Yes. Although it requires extra maintenance, rendering can immediately transform your property. Investing $10,000 in rendering your house will increase your property’s value, but the primary reason for entering properties to improve its look. A coat of render on a weathered wall can brighten it up and give the entire home a new look.
Does rendering prevent damp?
Damp can occur as a result of rainwater leaking through the cracks on a brick wall. This phenomenon is called penetrating damp and is usually much harder to treat. Rendering the external walls is a great way to fix it, but the wall will have to be dried out first.
Will I need planning permission to render my house?
You would think there would be a simple answer of yes or no, but a few steps are required to ascertain if you require council approval to render your home.
It’s good to speak with a few of the local councils. To mention a few guidelines: “for minor external and non-structural alterations”, “the guidelines in the State Environment Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008” or “the NSW Planning & Infrastructure Exempt and Complying Development (which outlines and aims to ‘streamline approvals for low impact development, like renovating or building a home’)”, are the best to follow.
• SEPP – http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/inforcepdf/2008-572.pdf?id=6041d1ad-eb39-45a7-f7a2-9e3acb4f2f73
• NSW Planning & Infrastructure – http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/en-us/buildinginnsw/exemptandcomplyingdevelopment.aspx
However, take note you will need to meet provisions in part 1 and 2 of the SEPP document to be exempt from council approval. If you are still unsure if you are exempt, the local councils recommend contacting an independent expert that would be able to direct you further.
There are also a few things to consider, and this is mainly onsite matters, i.e. access, scaffolding and noise restrictions – which all may need some level of approval from the council. A simple phone call to your local council will clear up any questions you may have.
Should I be worried about damp if I render my walls?
Even the slightest crack in the building’s render can let water penetrate and become trapped between the brick wall and the render. If this stagnant moisture builds up, it will eventually soak through the brickwork or masonry and lead to penetrating the internal wall’s dampness. The cracks should patch fixed immediately.
How long the wall rendered wall last?
Your wall’s longevity will depend on the smoothness of the job and if the renderer had cleaned the wall adequately before the render coat applied. With the more popular cement-based renders, your walls’ lifespan will be shorter as the render will be more susceptible to cracking and shrinkage. On the bright side, cracking will typically only occur anywhere from 7 to 15 years.
How thickly can a render be layered?
The traditional cement render is layers of two coats:
The first coat is usually about 9.5mm thick (or thicker for older walls) and often contain a waterproof additive. While it is wet, the layer is scratched to provide a supportive surface for the second (floating) coat.
What is the difference between plastering and rendering?
The significant difference between the two is where the coat applies. Rendering is the coating of a building’s exterior walls, while plastering is the coating of a building’s interior walls. The material used for Renders and plasters is the same building materials – lime gypsum, water, sand, and cement.
Will rendering make my walls stronger?
Sunlight, water, wind, and other weather elements can cause a wall to crumble in time. When rendering is added to the walls and with a paint coat, it makes the wall more durable and robust. Also, adding a layer of render on your walls increases its thermal efficiency.
What Is Rendering?
Rendering in the context of renovation or building construction is the application of cement to the internal or external concrete or brick walls of a building to produce a smooth or textured surface. Rendering, also known as cement rendering or solid plastering, is typically carried out by qualified plasterers. Depending on your preferred style, your house’s walls are rendered to look coarse, smooth, textured, coloured, natural, painted or pigmented.
