What is Silicone Render?
Silicone render is a type of external wall rendering system used in construction and home improvement. It is a thin coat application which is known for its durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal. It is composed of silicone-based water repellant polymers, aggregates, and other additives that enhance its performance.
The silicone technology allows water vapour to pass through the render enabling the property to breathe whilst creating a water repellant surface leaving the surface drier and, as such, more resistant to algae and limebloom.
It is available in a machine sprayed or hand float finish in a variety of colours. Silicone thin coat render is also a through coloured render which means it has had a colour pigment added to it. Rather than the colour sitting on top like with paint it is mixed with the render itself. This means it is very low maintenance and it won’t have to be painted. It also comes in a wide range of colours which largely depends upon which manufacturer you use.
Overall, silicone render is a popular choice for exterior wall finishing due to its combination of durability, flexibility, and aesthetic versatility. It provides a protective and visually appealing finish for buildings.
It is also the recommended product to use in areas which are open to the elements such as coastal areas or places with high moisture in the air and/or limited exposure to direct sunlight.
The Key Features and Benefits of Silicone Render
Silicone Render is our most popular render system. Below are some of its key features and benefits.
Weather Resistance
Silicone render is highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and UV radiation. It forms a protective barrier that prevents moisture penetration and maintains its appearance over time.
Flexible and Crack-Resistant
It has excellent flexibility, which allows it to expand and contract with the building’s substrate, reducing the risk of cracking. This flexibility is especially important in areas with temperature fluctuations.
Breathable
Silicone render is breathable, allowing water vapour to pass through while repelling liquid water. This feature helps regulate moisture within the walls, reducing the risk of dampness.
Low Maintenance
It is relatively low maintenance compared to traditional renders. The smooth, water-resistant surface is easy to clean, and it doesn’t require frequent painting or repairs.
Aesthetic Options
Silicone render comes in a wide range of colours, allowing for creative and customised exterior designs.
Long-Lasting
Due to it’s durability and resistance to colour fading, silicone render maintains its appearance for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent refurbishments.
Application
Silicone render can be applied to various substrates, including concrete, brick, and insulation systems. It is often used for both new construction and renovation projects.
The Application Process of Silicone Render
The application process of silicone render involves several steps to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish on exterior walls. Here is an overview of the typical application process:
Surface Preparation
The surface is cleaned to ensure it is free of dirt, dust, and loose particles. Any defects are also patched up with a repair mortar.
Priming
A primer is applied to the prepared surface. The primer improves adhesion and ensures an even surface for the render.
Mesh Reinforcement (Optional)
In some cases, a fiberglass or alkali-resistant mesh may be applied to the substrate to enhance the render’s crack resistance. This step is particularly important if the substrate has a high risk of cracking.
Silicone Render Application
The silicone render is applied to the base coat ensuring an even and consistent thickness throughout. This can either be applied by a spray machine or by hand. If sprayed on it is left as it is. If hand applied a plastic float is used to flatten it and bring out the natural pattern in the render.
Setting and Curing
The silicone render is allowed to cure for the recommended time, typically overnight but it can take longer depending on weather conditions.
