ABOUT SILICONE RENDER

Did you know?

Silicone render is designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, reducing the risk of cracking and extending its lifespan!

What is Silicone Render?

Silicone Render is widely regarded as the most premium render product on the market. Silicone render is the most commonly used finish applied to External Wall Insulation but can be applied to several backgrounds including over the top of existing painted render, backing coats, One Coat Renders, and render boards. This pre-coloured render is hydrophobic which means it is easy to clean and low maintenance.

Silicone render, a contemporary material, combines cement, sand, and silicone-based polymers. It offers several benefits that make it an attractive choice and because it's pre-coloured, there's no need for any painting, meaning it can be cost neutral overall yet provides a far superior and long lasting product with a substantial warranty to match.

What is wrong with other renders?

In short, I don't believe there is anything wrong with traditional renders like Sand & cement and lime render. In fact, for many years this was all we used and it has served the construction industry well.  However, modern renders offer some exciting benefits! They’re stronger, more durable, and come with at least a 10-year warranty. Plus, you can choose from a wide range of colours and enjoy better protection against the weather. That’s why countries like Germany and Poland have been using these materials for decades. Choosing modern renders means getting a great look and long-lasting quality for your projects!

So what are the benefits?

Having such a huge choice of colours means there's something for everyone. There are different grain sizes with different textured and aesthetic finishes to choose from, making every job unique. Samples can be provided by filling out the website form where we can discuss your requirements.

1. Water Repellency – Silicone render is highly water-resistant, making it ideal for buildings located in costal areas and in damp or rainy climates. The hydrophobic properties of silicone prevent water absorption, ensuring that walls remain dry and free from water damage.
2. Self-Cleaning – One of the main advantages of silicone render is its self-cleaning properties. Silicone render repels dirt and grime, allowing the building to maintain a clean appearance with minimal maintenance.
3. Durability – Silicone render is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and pollution. This resistance results in a longer-lasting system that requires less frequent maintenance and replacement than other renders.
4. Versatility – Silicone render can be applied to various substrates, including brick, concrete blocks, and timber frames. In many circumstances it can also be applied directly over the top of your existing render. This versatility makes it suitable for an array of old and new building types.
