Brick Rendering is often a step taken by home owners who are looking to give their home a modern look. Brick Rendering does not only improve the look of a home or space, but it also can protect your house and brick work from water, weather, sun and the elements of Australian climate.
Rendering brick is the best substrate to render as it holds render the best, looks the best and lasts the longest. Other substrates such as fibro and foam will not last as longer as brick rendering or look half as good. Rendering brick is a worthwhile investment in looks and value for money.
Cement render is the name of render mix that combines sand, cement and lime. Cement renders are the most traditional of render materials and any cement rendered home that is rendered before the year 2000 would have used a cement render. As acrylic render gain popularity cement render is becoming less used, with that said sand cement render finish are still amazing render finishes. Worth noting that cement render requires painting.
Cement Render is one of the most afforable options when it comes to rendering. There are cement rendered houses that are still intact multiple decades after rendering.
Acrylic render is a special render material that has acrylics and plastics included in the mix to give it flexibility and strength. Acrylic render comes in two forms them being one that requires painting (acrylic render) and one does not (coloured acrylic render). Acrylic render requires painting OR it can be used as a base coat BEFORE a coloured acrylic render.
The reasons for using acrylic render over a cement render includes substrates and/or finishes. Not all substrates are suitable for cement render. Newer rendered homes are leaning towards acrylic render as it can be applied easily over many substrates and painted quickly.

Coloured Acrylic Rendering is the 3rd coat of a 3 coat system, it is the final coat after a base coat render, primer. Coloured acrylic render more than 30 times thicker than paint and comes in all the same colours. Colour render are great instead of repainting as they can be applied right over existing painted render.
Generally speaking coloured acrylic render can be about the same price as repainting with all the extra bells and whistles including longevity, texture and look.
Cement render is great to use over brick work and bathroom renovations rendering. Reason for sand cement render is great for bathrooms is that the materials dries faster internally and this is very important when applying very thick render typically applied in bathrooms.
