- Good selection of colours
SILICONE ACRYLIC COLOURED RENDER
PROJECT SUITABILITY:
New Build, External Wall Insulation and Renovation
MAIN FEATURES:
- Flexible – does not contain cement has much greater flexibility than cement based products, unlikely to crack
- Water vapour permeable (allows building to breathe)
- Self cleaning – repels water, very low susceptibility to soiling and contamination
- Contains biocide helps prevent algae growth
- High weather protection
- Highly durable

- Wide selection of colours
TRADITIONAL SAND/CEMENT RENDER
PROJECT SUITABILITY:
New build & Renovation
MAIN FEATURES:
- Cost – materials are cheap in comparison to factory bagged coloured renders
- Good weather resistance (when painted)
LIME RENDER
PROJECT SUITABILITY:
New build, Heritage, Renovation, External wall Insulation
MAIN FEATURES:
- High vapour permeability – allows building to breath, essential for old buildings built with lime mortar.
- Flexibility – lime is a ‘flexible’ building material. It allows for building movement.
- Better for the environment than cement-based products as it uses less energy to produce and re absorbs CO2 during the setting process, making it close to carbon neutral.
