Which is the best house rendering?

Contemporary home design has changed over the years but what will never change is the need for beautiful exterior finishes that last. House rendering in Brisbane is the most common answer to this need and that’s for very good reason. It is a style of cladding that is cost-effective and offers diverse finishing options. The different types of rendering with their own specific characteristics that make them perfectly suited to virtually any type of property. Rendering has different lime densities that also ensure your existing walls are still able to breathe and, in some cases, will make them last longer. It doesn’t matter which type you end up with, and the various materials it’s made of, rendering will give your property an interesting, striking look.

4 main types of rendering 

As soon as you contact your local rendering expert to discuss the different types, they’ll start by telling you that it also depends on your existing wall’s materials. Typical homes in Brisbane are made of brick and rendering brick requires the expertise of a true professional. Even though we’ll go through all the different types of rendering, they may not all be viable options for your home or may require extensive wall preparation. These are the most common types:

• Cement rendering

Cement render is the most common type of render for home applications. It is perfect for quick and easy application on walls with rough, textured surfaces. If your walls are made of brick, concrete, or stone blocks, or even painted walls then these are the typical conditions for cement rendering after suitable preparations are made. Finished cement rendering adds a new, durable, and evenly smooth finish to coarse surfaces. This is also one of the cheaper styles and you can get a price estimate with our dedicated cement rendering calculator to get an idea of what we mean.

• Acrylic rendering

Acrylic render is a more flexible product because it has acrylic plastic mixed into the formula. Acrylic rendering is more expensive than cement rendering because it is more durable and less prone to cracking. It can be purchased in a variety of colours and textures.

• Polymer rendering

Polymer rendering is one of the more modern styles of rendering as it has additional waterproofing benefits that the others lack. Polymer is very adhesive, so it is normally suggested when cement rendering or acrylic rendering may not be as effective. This type of rendering is also highly suited to external walls thanks to its weather resistance. There are other polymer rendering benefits that explain why it typically costs more than other types.

• Bagging

Bagging is the most basic type of wall treatment and while it is similar in application style to rendering it offers an entirely different finish. It is also significantly cheaper than rendering and you can tell by exploring our bagging price calculator for reference.

How much does house render cost?

Normally, rendering prices are calculated per square metre. The main factors that determine the price of rendering are the location, size and scope of the project, type of rendering products used, and the desired finish. The price of rendering per m2 will also be determined by what is being rendered. Rendering a two-storey home will be more difficult and therefore potentially pricier, as extra equipment will be needed to reach the second floor compared to what is required to render a retaining wall. Buildings with a significant number of windows may also cost more to render than plain walls, as this requires more work and skill to render around the edges of the windows.

Regardless of the overall cost involved, rendering is a good investment for any property. It will add durability to the existing walls. The rendering will act as a protective barrier against wear and tear and therefore will limit the need for repairs or refurbishments over time. Rendering also adds value to your home’s curb appeal if it is on the market. Potential buyers or tenants will be impressed with the investment you made in improving the exterior of your home. The look and quality of your property’s exterior is always the first thing that visitors or potential buyers will see, and it can make or break their first impression of the premises.
