Rendering In Matlock

What Is Rendering?

Popular throughout the world, particularly Southern Europe, but also the UK, and even Matlock, rendering is the practice whereby a homes walls are protected from weather damage and erosion by the application of a mixture composed of cement, lime plaster and sand.

Why Render Your Walls?

External Walls -

Rendering your external walls can provide several benefits, with the primary one being the extra protection it can provide to your walls from the often harsh weather that sweeps the region, ensuring the wind, rain and winter snow don’t leave a lasting effect. Along with this however, external wall rendering can also add to your home insulation, giving the walls that extra layer, and also helping you give your home a facelift, with the different styles and paint finishes you can add, certain to turn some heads!


Internal Walls -

Rendering your internal walls may not necessarily provide the weather protection that external rendering does, however that does not mean its not worth it, it still provides some great benefits. For example, smoothing down your interior walls so that you can completely transform the look of your home, and give it a great, fresh new feeling.

The Process

The rendering process begins when our expert team arrive in Matlock at your home. They will first ensure that the target walls are clean and free of plant growth – they will fully clean and treat it beforehand if any problems occur. Then, a harling coat of aggregate and lime will be applied and left for a few days so that it can cure and maximise the bonding for future coats. When the initial coat is returned to and ready, the first coat of the actual render mixture is troweled on in the exact same way in which you would apply wall plaster , in even coats of around 8-10mm. Our skilled team of renderers know exactly the best way to go about the job, and after a few more days, and a few more coats of render, your walls are fully protected, and your home ready for a lovely lick of paint!
