 What is House Rendering?
House rendering is the process of applying a layer of material over the exterior walls of a house. This layer can serve multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides a protective barrier against the elements such as rain, wind, and sunlight. Different types of render materials have varying levels of resistance to weather conditions. For example, cement render is highly durable and can withstand harsh weather in many climates. Secondly, rendering can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a house. It gives the exterior a smooth and uniform finish, making the house look more modern and well-maintained.
 Benefits of House Rendering
 Improved Durability
One of the major advantages of house rendering is increased durability. By applying a protective layer, the walls of the house are shielded from moisture penetration. In regions with high humidity or frequent rainfall, this is crucial. Moisture can cause damage to the underlying structure of the house, leading to issues like mold growth, rot, and structural decay. Rendering acts as a barrier, preventing water from seeping into the walls. This not only extends the lifespan of the house but also reduces the need for costly repairs in the long run.
 Enhanced Aesthetics
The aesthetic improvement is obvious. A freshly rendered house can have a completely different look. Whether you prefer a smooth, contemporary finish or a textured appearance, there are various rendering options available. For instance, acrylic render can give a smooth, shiny look, while sand and cement render can create a more rustic, textured effect. This allows homeowners to customize the look of their house to match their personal style or the architectural style of the neighborhood.
 Energy Efficiency
Modern rendering materials can also contribute to energy efficiency. Some render types have insulating properties. By reducing heat transfer through the walls, they help keep the house cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This can lead to lower energy bills as less energy is required to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. For example, certain types of insulated render can significantly reduce heat loss during winter, making the house more energy-efficient.
 Types of House Rendering
 Cement Render
Cement render is one of the most common types. It is made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water. It is very durable and can be used on both new and existing houses. Cement render provides a hard, weather-resistant finish. It is often used for its strength and ability to withstand heavy wear and tear. However, it can be somewhat porous, so it may require regular sealing to maintain its waterproofing properties.
 Acrylic Render
Acrylic render is known for its smooth finish and good color retention. It has excellent weather resistance and is easy to clean. This type of render is popular for modern houses as it can give a sleek, contemporary look. It also adheres well to different types of walls and is available in a wide range of colors.
 Mineral Render
Mineral render is made from natural minerals and is an eco-friendly option. It has good breathability, which allows the walls to "breathe." This helps prevent moisture buildup inside the house. Mineral render is suitable for traditional and period houses as it complements their architectural style.
 The Rendering Process at Rendering Studio
 Initial Consultation
When a client contacts us at Rendering Studio, the first step is an initial consultation. We visit the property to assess the existing condition of the walls. This includes checking for any damage, cracks, or moisture issues. We also discuss the client's vision for the house, such as the desired finish and color. Based on this assessment, we provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, materials to be used, and the estimated cost.
 Surface Preparation
Before applying the render, the surface of the walls needs to be properly prepared. This involves cleaning the walls to remove dirt, grease, and loose paint. Any cracks or holes are filled with appropriate materials. For old houses, the surface may need to be roughened up to ensure good adhesion of the render. This preparation step is crucial for the long-term success of the rendering project.
 Application of the Render
Our experienced team then applies the render in multiple layers. The first layer is usually a bonding coat to ensure proper adhesion. This is followed by the finish coat, which gives the desired appearance. We use professional-grade tools and techniques to ensure a smooth and even application. The drying time between layers is carefully monitored to ensure optimal results.
 Finishing Touches
Once the render is fully dry, we add any finishing touches. This may include texturing if required, and applying a sealant to enhance the durability and weather resistance. We also ensure that the edges and corners are finished neatly.
 Case Studies
 Case Study 1: A Traditional House in the United Kingdom
A client in the UK had an old, weathered house. The exterior was in need of renovation. We recommended a mineral render to maintain the traditional look while providing better protection. After the rendering process, the house looked焕然一新. The texture of the mineral render complemented the original architectural style, and the client was very satisfied with the improved durability and aesthetic.
 Case Study 2: A Modern House in Australia
An Australian client wanted a contemporary look for their new house. We used acrylic render to achieve a smooth, shiny finish. The bright color chosen by the client made the house stand out in the neighborhood. The energy efficiency benefits were also noticed, with lower cooling costs during the hot Australian summers.
 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 1. How long does house rendering last?
The lifespan of house rendering depends on several factors such as the type of render used, the quality of installation, and the local climate. Cement render can last around 20 - 30 years with proper maintenance. Acrylic render can last 15 - 20 years, and mineral render can have a lifespan of 20 years or more.
 2. Can rendering be done on an existing house?
Yes, house rendering can be done on existing houses. However, proper surface preparation is crucial. Any underlying issues like moisture problems need to be addressed before rendering.
 3. How much does house rendering cost?
The cost varies depending on the size of the house, the type of render, and the complexity of the job. On average, for a small house, the cost can start from around $10 per square foot, but it can go up depending on the factors mentioned.
 4. Do I need to vacate the house during the rendering process?
It depends on the extent of the work. For minor touch-ups or smaller areas, you may be able to stay in the house. But for major rendering jobs, it's advisable to vacate for a short period to ensure safety and to allow the render to dry properly.
