It has never been more important to have someone with experience and specialist rendering knowledge on your side to navigate the complexities of choices for your project.
Monocouche render
Monocouche is a one coat, ready mixed, cementitious, weather resistant, external decorative, through coloured render, suitable for most types of brick or blockwork.
Silicone/Acrylic render
Silicone/Acrylic based, through-coloured, decorative finish, for use as a decorative, highly weather resistant, vapour permeable surface.
External wall insulation
External wall insulation involves fixing a layer of insulation material to the wall, then covering it with a reinforcement mesh and a special type of render.
Insulation types
Your choice of insulation should be based upon your budget and any particular requirements you may have; there is no single ‘best’ type of insulation.
External wall insulation (EWI)
External wall insulation involves fixing a layer of insulation material to the wall, then covering it with a reinforcement mesh and a special type of render. The finish is usually a textured render, pebble-dash or sometimes a brick slip or a brick effect render finish could be used.
Key Points:
- Can save approx. £475* per property per year (source: Energy Savings Trust)
- Can save approx.1.9 tonnes* of carbon dioxide per year (source: Energy Savings Trust)
- Can be applied with minimal disruption to the household and its occupants
- No internal access is required
- Does not reduce the floor area (living space) of the property
- Improves the appearance of the property – potentially increasing the property’s value
Improves weatherproofing and sound resistance - Can make the building more airtight, reducing drafts and heat loss
- Increases the life of the existing property by protecting the existing substrate from the weather
- Reduces condensation on internal walls and can help prevent damp (but will not solve rising or penetration damp)
- A reduced rate of VAT is applicable to any professional EWI installation, provided that its primary purpose is to save energy (conditions apply).
