Selecting the right external render involves considerations such as durability, aesthetics, weather resistance and application methods. There are many options out in the market and it can be hard to make a decision you won’t regret. Continue reading and you’ll learn some of the essential knowledge you need to pick the right external render. We’ve also included a product overview for each of the external renders we stock at The Facade Hub to familiarise yourself with some of the available options.
5 Main Things to Consider When Choosing an External Render Product
Environment and Weather Conditions
First off, think about the climate and weather of the building’s location. For areas prone to heavy rainfall and extreme temperatures, go for a render which features superior water repellency and is highly resistant to atmospheric conditions.Â
Building Type and Design
The type and design of the building play a big role in choosing the correct materials. When it comes to modern architectural structures, renders based on a more innovative formula and offering more vibrant and intense shades may be preferred. As for traditional buildings, you may benefit from picking a more traditional render option, which reflects a more classic or textured finish.
Durability, Longevity and Certification
Opt for an external render certified by industry expert institutions and has a long-standing warranty for their durability and longevity. This may require some digging at times but it’s always useful to contact manufacturers directly to ensure that the products you’re investing have gone through the required testing to meet quality standards and provide reliable performance.
4. Compatibility with Insulation Systems and Components
If the building that you’re installing external render features or will be featuring an EWI system, then you need to make sure they are compatible. Ignoring details like compatibility will affect the performance and longevity of both the insulation system and the external render.
5. Application Methods and Maintenance
When selecting the external render, the most important thing to consider is how the product is optimally applied to ensure the whole installation process is streamlined and remains hassle-free. To be certain you’re aware of the best way to install a specific product, it’s best to reach out to the technical department of the manufacturer or supplier and request a product information sheet, which will give you all the details you need to guarantee your project’s efficiency and success.
