8 Benefits of Silicone Render

Silicone rendering

Silicone render is a great way of boosting the look and feel of either your domestic or commercial property. There are many advantages to choosing silicone rendering over other forms of exterior surfacing, and that’s what we’re going to be discussing in this article. But, before we get onto the benefits of silicone rendering services, let’s first understand what it is.

What is silicone render?

Silicone render, also referred to as thin coat render, is a flexible, modern external render that’s designed to achieve a sleek, durable finish on an impressive range of buildings and structures, whether they be a domestic home or a large office building. Silicone rendering is normally executed using thin layers, usually no more than 6mm thick. 

This helps to ensure a pristine and precise finish that is even and level. Unlike other forms of cement rendering, silicone rendering possesses a wealth of properties that make it a cut above the rest, and that’s what we’re going to be talking about in a moment – the benefits of silicone render. 

8 benefits of silicone rendering 

There are multiple benefits of having silicone rendering services from Options 4 Surfaces. Aside from being an innovative, contemporary alternative to traditional forms of rendering and rendering materials, there are many ways in which you can take advantage of silicone rendering from Options 4 Surfaces, and they include the following:

1. It’s water-resistant

Silicone render is water-resistant, meaning that it’s highly effective at repelling water, frost and ice as a result of harsh weather conditions. This means that you’ll never have to worry about water and moisture penetrating your silicone render and through to your interior walls and brickwork. It also means that you won’t have to worry about damp and mould occurring, which brings us onto our next point.

2. It’s breathable, allowing for mitigation of damp & mould issues

Despite your brickwork being covered in render, silicone render is extremely breathable. This means that your brickwork will still receive a decent amount of airflow, meaning that you won’t have to think about damp or mould problems occurring, which might be more likely with traditional render, especially if it’s made from cement.

3. There is a wealth of colours to choose from

When you choose silicone render from Options 4 Surfaces, you’ll have an impressive range of colours to choose from. This means that you’ll be able to make the exterior of your home match the decor and standard of the interior, seamlessly displaying your taste and style inside and out. Regardless of the look you’re going for, from classic creams to stand-out blue and everything in between, you can rest assured that Options 4 Surfaces will have you covered with our silicone render solutions.

4. It’s incredibly durable & UV-resistant

Silicone render is a durable covering that aims to protect your brickwork and allow it to breathe. This also includes protecting the structure from UV rays. In addition, you won’t have to worry about the colour being taken out of your silicone render. This is the case even in continuous sunshine. Enjoy your silicone render for many years to come, regardless of the colour or finish you choose. You can count on it to elevate the look and feel of the exterior of your property.

5. It has insulating properties

Silicone rendering adds an additional, breathable layer to the exterior of your home. This, as a result, boosts how well your home is insulated. It can aid in keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Not only does silicone rendering look the part, but it is also incredibly functional. 

6. It’s cost-effective

Silicone rendering lasts for many years. So, you won’t have to worry about having it redone every five years or so. Silicone render is considered to be somewhat of an investment. Pay just one fee now for a solution that will last for decades. This is more advantageous than paying for traditional rendering, which won’t have the same lifespan. 

7. It’s easy to maintain

Silicone rendering is durable and easy to maintain. Usually, silicone render can be kept clean with a spray of plain water. It can also withstand considerable wear and tear. As such, you won’t have to worry about patching up old or worn pockets of render. In fact, for the first couple of decades, you won’t have to worry about maintaining silicone rendering at all. 

8. It enhances curb appeal

Silicone render is designed to cover up brickwork and other exterior materials that might seem old or just unsightly. As long as the brickwork is level, stable and undamaged, silicone rendering can be applied to the exterior of most buildings, including domestic and commercial properties, to inject new life into them. This enhances curb appeal, making you the envy of the street.
