When it comes to protecting and decorating the outside of your home, rendering is one of the best choices. What is a render, though, and why is it so important? You can get a clear, useful help from Richmond Traders on how to understand it and the different kinds you can pick from.
What is render on house?
Render is a special kind of clay that is used to cover the outside walls of a building. Its major jobs are to protect the walls from damage caused by the weather and make the house look better.
It can completely change the way your home looks if it is used properly. It forms a tough, long-lasting coating. This makes it as much about style as it is about strength. It can be smooth, rough, or colored.
Why do homes need to be rendered?
The outer walls made of stone, brick or concrete blocks allow natural air and water to pass through them. This means that water can get through small cracks at the top, which can cause problems like
- Damp spots
- Mold growth
- Structure damage caused by wet rot or dry rot
- Rising or deep damp
- Wooden parts of your home are especially vulnerable to moisture damage, which you may not even know about until the fixes cost a lot of money.
It protects your house by keeping water out, making it warmer, and giving it a new, aesthetically pleasing look.
Types of House Rendering
When it comes to modeling, there is no “one size that fits all.” Richmond Traders has a number of styles, and each one has its own benefits:
1. Monocouche Rendering
A current render with only one layer that already has color pigment in it. It does not require much care, does not crack and is a smooth, even finish.
2. Making silicone molds
It gives the flow of air and keeps the water away, which makes it very good for moist places. Because it does not show algae or dirt, many people in the UK choose it.
3. Acrylics Paint
It is less likely that it is flexible and cracks, making it perfect for adding, new buildings or homes that moves a little.
4. Color Rendering
It comes in many colors, so you don’t have to paint it. It saves time and money in the long run because of this.
5. Tyrolean Rendering
A finish with different layers and textures that looks good on both classic and rustic homes.
6. Cladding for houses
Not really a render, but an option that protects and gives the house a unique, and often more modern, look.
7. Wet dash Rendering
A rough, pebbled finish that lasts a long time and doesn’t cost much. It’s often found on older homes.
8. Insulation for outside walls
Adding a layer of thermal insulation before the paint makes the building more energy efficient and updates the outside.
9. Drawing with Scratch Coat
This is the bottom layer that the top image layer sticks to in a system with more than one coat.
10. Pebble Dash Rendering
Small rocks or pebbles are mixed into wet render to give it a unique, rough texture that is great for protecting against the weather.
11. Sand and Cement Rendering
The traditional choice because it is strong, doesn’t rot, and can be used on many types of buildings.
Is rendering the right choice for your home?
To give your walls a new look, make them look old or damp, or just give them a new look, modeling might be the answer. Richmond Traders can help you pick the best choice for your home, whether you want the smoothness of silicone render or the classic look of pebble dash.
Rendering can protect your house, make it look great, and even raise its value. The new look will last for years.
FAQs
1. How long does it last?
If you do the right kind of upkeep, a well-applied can last anywhere from 20 to 40 years.
2. Can render be added on top of another one?

3. How much does it cost?
It all depends on the size of your home, the type of render you want, and how much work needs to be done to get it ready.
