CREATE KERB APPEAL
revamp your home’s exterior with new render
Whether you’re looking to weatherproof your home or simply freshen up your exterior walls, render is a great way to update your house. As well as adding kerb appeal, render is a great way to make your house more energy efficient by helping to keep the walls drier. Contrary to popular belief, render is weatherproof, not waterproof. Whilst protecting the building from the elements by allowing the water to run off, it also allows water vapour to permeate through the walls,
maintaining its breathability. A breathable building is always very important as it controls the humidity of the property, which limits damp and erosion problems.
Rendering the external walls of your house can create a healthier home, depending on the type you choose. Thanks to the permeable surface of many renders, damp and mouldy walls can be a thing of the past.
Render’s breathability stops water vapour from getting trapped in the walls and creating those dreaded patches which, left unchecked, can irritate your nose, chest and throat. Not sure where to start? Make sure you’re thinking about render at the early design stages of your project, and seek expert advice to find out what exposure, movement and construction requirements you need to consider.
