Silicone render in Elm Park, through-colour, breathable and self-cleaning. Applied over prepared substrate with mesh and basecoat. Fixed written quotes.
Silicone render is coloured all the way through, so it does not need repainting the way a painted sand-and-cement wall does. It is also breathable, which matters on the older Elm Park stock where trapping moisture in a solid wall causes more problems than it solves.
On Elm Park's busier roads silicone render earns its keep, because traffic grime and damp wash off a surface that repels water. The same streets show the difference clearly: painted fronts that need doing every few years beside silicone fronts that still look clean.
Sand and cement cracks as the building moves and has to be painted, then repainted every few years. Silicone flexes, is coloured through, and sheds dirt. It costs more to put on and less to own.
No, and that is most of the point. The colour goes right through, so there is nothing to repaint. A rinse down every few years is the whole maintenance.
Sometimes, if the dash is sound and well keyed, and it saves a great deal of money when it can. Often it cannot, and we will say so rather than render over something that is about to let go.
On a typical semi, preparation, basecoat and mesh take several days, with the finish applied once the base has cured. Dry weather is needed throughout, so timing depends on the forecast.
It is flexible, so it copes with small movement far better than traditional render. Cracks usually only appear if the wall behind moves significantly or the basecoat and mesh were not done properly.
The colour is in the render. A scuff does not show a different colour underneath and it never needs a repaint.
Reinforcing mesh bedded into a basecoat before the topcoat. It is what stops the cracking that cheap render is known for.
Moisture can leave a solid wall rather than sitting in it. On 1930s brick that matters more than the finish does.
Silicone sheds water and dirt goes with it. It stays looking new far longer than a painted wall on a road with traffic.
Colours picked from real samples viewed on the wall in daylight, so the finish sits well beside the neighbours.
Corner, stop and bell-cast beads fitted so the edges are crisp and protected where the finish is most exposed.
