At RendPlas, we’ve been transforming properties across the UK with premium rendering solutions, and one finish that’s become increasingly popular with our clients is silicone rendering. As specialists in both domestic and commercial rendering, we’re here to explain why this modern system is worth considering for your next project.
What is Silicone Rendering?
Silicone render is a type of thin coat render that contains silicone additives. These additives give the render water-resistant and self-cleaning properties, making it ideal for the British climate. Unlike traditional sand and cement render, silicone render is far more flexible and less prone to cracking, while still offering a sleek, coloured finish.
Key Benefits of Silicone Render
1. Excellent Weather Resistance
British weather can be unpredictable, but silicone render stands up to it brilliantly. It’s breathable yet water-repellent, allowing moisture to escape from your walls while preventing water ingress from the outside.
2. Low Maintenance
Thanks to its self-cleaning capabilities, silicone render tends to stay looking fresher for longer. Rainwater helps wash away dirt and algae, so your property maintains that crisp, clean finish with minimal upkeep.
3. Long-Lasting Colour
Forget about repainting every few years. Silicone render is available in a wide range of colours, and the pigment is mixed directly into the render. This means the finish is UV-stable and resistant to fading over time.
4. Flexible and Crack-Resistant
Because of its flexible composition, silicone render adapts better to minor building movements. This reduces the risk of cracking, especially on new builds or properties that may experience slight settling.
A Smart Choice for All Property Types
Whether you’re upgrading a residential home, a commercial building, or undertaking a new-build project, silicone render offers the durability and aesthetic appeal to match. At Rend Plas, we can help you choose the right render system to suit your property’s needs and your personal preferences.
