Cement Rendering Brisbane
What is cement rendering?
Cement render is a composition of cement, sand, water, plus lime or clay. The render is normally applied to rough surfaces such as brick, stone or concrete blocks, as well as painted walls after being appropriately prepared. The purpose of cement rendering is to create a smooth finish on the irregular surface. The thickness of cement render can vary,based on the amount of render that needs to be used to completely create a smooth, straight finish on the wall.
What are the benefits of cement rendering?
If you’re wondering why people render their houses or fences with cement, the main benefit is that it creates a smoother and more attractive appearance on the previously coarse surface. Cement render is available in a wide variety of textures and colours, such as natural or pigmented. It can create the perfect look for your walls, fence and retaining walls, complementing the style of your home, or completely transforming it.
For a more distinct, textured finish, coarser sand can be used, while finer sand will achieve a smoother result. Rendering the exterior walls of your home with cement is also a brilliant way to protect your house from the weather and the often harsh Australian conditions. For these reasons, when choosing Rapid Rendering to achieve a premium cement rendering result for your project, you’re increasing the value of your property and projects.
Cement rendering is quite popular since it can be applied to any masonry surface, although it is most often used on bricks. Concrete render is the most affordable rendering solution, allowing you to cover huge areas without breaking the bank. Depending on your tastes, you may achieve a very smooth finish or fantastic, textured finishes by using several ways to apply the render. Bagging it or trowelling it on are two typical methods. Finishing tools like a sponge can also be used to alter the look.
If you haven’t chosen to colour the concrete itself, cement rendering may be simply painted, and you can do it at any point once the render has fully dried. The waiting period is at least 28 days. You may use any rated exterior paint, which means you have a number of colour options.
What are the most common applications for cement render?
Cement render is often applied on brickwork, such as the exterior of a house or a boundary wall.
The render is an excellent technique to protect the brickwork since it keeps the sun and rain off of it. It’s also a simple method to modify the appearance of your home by giving it a smooth texture that can be painted any colour.

To begin, you must select an expert who will carefully prepare the outer walls. The success of the final rendered finish is almost entirely determined by how well the walls are prepared. If you want to colour the render, your tradie should always do a sample and let it dry to ensure the tone and depth of the colour is correct.

How much does cement rendering cost?
There are a number of factors that contribute to the price of cement rendering. For large, straight internal and external walls, cement render is measured in square metres. Openings in the wall, such as windows and doorways, will contribute to how the rendering job is priced. Some rendering work is priced per linear metre or per day of work. The textures and colours chosen can also impact the final price, so it’s best to ask for a quote from your local rendering professional to get an estimate of costs for your unique rendering job. You can also use our instant cement rendering price calculator to give you a better idea.
How is colour added to cement render?
There are several options for achieving the final colour of the cement render. The first method is the only one where the colour is actually included in the cement, in the form of oxide as a liquid. The oxide colouring will have inconsistencies once mixed in, so the final colour will have varying shades throughout the render, which also changes over time. The other options are to apply a layer of coloured acrylic render or paint over the cement render after about a month, for the final colour.
