Painting a Rendered House – Coloured Rendering a quality alternative to painting

Painting a Rendered House – Avoid Painting with Colour Render

Render looks great, but it needs maintenance such as repainting every 5-10 years. The sun, the weather and the seasons change make painting your home important for the appearance and upkeep.

If your thinking of painting a rendered house but looking for alternative that will last at least 15 years, patch over cracking areas in the existing render and give your home a modern look then maybe coloured acrylic rendering is an option for you.

What can coloured render be applied onto?

Colour Render can be applied onto Rendered brick work that has been painted.

If you have rendered brick work that has been painted, then we can apply a coat of render primer followed by coloured acrylic render in any colour. Our coloured acrylic renders have an inbuilt sealer and are 20 times thicker than paint. Paint is measured in microns and our render is measured in mm. Our coloured render will be between 1mm and 2mm thick.
