What is Cement Rendering?

Cement rendering is a time-tested technique that involves applying a mixture of cement, sand, and lime to external walls. This protective coating not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also provides crucial protection against Perth's harsh weather conditions.

Benefits of Cement Rendering

Durability: When properly applied, cement render can last for decades with minimal maintenance. It creates a hard-wearing surface that resists impact and weathering.

Weather Protection: Perth experiences extreme temperature variations throughout the year. Cement rendering acts as an effective barrier against rain, wind, and UV radiation, preventing moisture penetration and subsequent damage to your walls.

Aesthetic Versatility: Cement render can be finished in various textures - from smooth and contemporary to rustic and textured. It also serves as an excellent base for painting, allowing you to achieve virtually any colour scheme.

The Application Process

Professional cement rendering typically involves several stages:

1. Surface Preparation: Walls are cleaned, repaired, and primed to ensure optimal adhesion
2. Scratch Coat: The first layer is applied and scratched to create a key for subsequent coats
3. Float Coat: A second layer is applied to build up thickness and create an even surface
4. Final Finish: The top coat is applied and finished to the desired texture

Maintenance Tips

To maximise the lifespan of your cement render:

• Inspect annually for cracks or damage
• Clean with low-pressure water to remove dirt and algae
• Repaint every 7-10 years to maintain weather protection
• Address any cracks promptly to prevent water ingress
