> External Renders
No matter what finish you are looking for Hardisty has completed many external render projects on new and old buildings in a diverse range of materials. Some rendering is applied manually and some sprayed.
The vast majority of older homes are renowned for damp problems which will cause paint to flake and cause the existing render to crack or loosen. Technology has moved on apace in modern construction methods and dampness that naturally occurs in solid walls evaporates through the external render.
However, with old properties a variety of materials were used and it very much depends on the construction of your home as to which type of render is most suitable.
Lime based products are usually the materials of choice mixing lime putty with coarse sand which creates an excellent finish, in keeping with the age and appearance of the property. Because many older properties did not have effective damp proof courses cement rendering is usually not suitable because the dampness cannot escape and will not evaporate through the exterior of the walls. The same principle applies to masonry paints. Improperly rendered walls on old properties will result in further dampness, causing condensation, paint flaking and skirting boards to rot, not to mention the higher energy bills as you keep the heating on longer to try to combat the damp from inside.
No matter the age of your property, a professionally applied, well chosen render will alleviate dampness and save you a considerable amount of money over the years not just in heating bills, but also in constant repair and decorating costs.
