CEMENT RENDERING
Cement rendering is the process of applying premixed layer of cement or sand to, exterior walls but can be used to feature an interior wall. Though it is not the longest lasting type of render option available, it is still an affordable way of upgrading the appearance of your property and raising its value. It also provides protection from all 4 of the elements. It is also the most cost-effective option.
Cement rendered walls can then be painted with whatever colour you desire or for added strength an Acrylic Texture Coating can be applied.
ACRYLIC RENDERING
Also commonly known as Poly Modified Rendering, it is a more flexible and resilient type of material therefore making it more long lasting than traditional cement renders. Acrylic rendering provides you with a number of options with your finish including smooth or textured. In some cases, acrylic rendering is the only option when cement rendering will not stick to particular surfaces like timber, concrete or fibre cement.
Acrylic rendered walls can then be painted or an Acrylic Texture Coating can be applied if extra strength and durability is required.
ACRYLIC TEXTURE COATING
As mentioned above, this is a coating applied over a base of either an Acrylic or Cement rendered surface. As opposed to just paint alone, an Acrylic Texture Coating offers a tougher, more flexible finish that is also water resistant. It is a coloured render that is 20 times thicker than paint which provides a rich depth of colour that is available in several different textures. On top of all those features it also contains mould and fungus inhibitors making it mould resistant.
