Silicone Render
As obvious as it may seem, silicone render contains silicone – which is a polymer that is rubbery and has a greater resistance to high temperatures. Unlike acrylic, silicone render comes in several formulations and colours which provides great flexibility for homeowners.
It imparts a high degree of water repellency to the render system that allows for better breathability within the surface.
Silicone Render or Thin, Silicone Top Coat can be applied to Solid walls as well as Light weighed construction as long as the wall has been prepared by an appropriate base coat with a reinforcing mesh.
How Long Does Silicone Render Last?
In general, silicone renders are more durable and reliable than the traditional mixtures. This is especially true when it’s combined with an adhesive base coat and mineral. As such, the average lifespan of silicone rendering is between 25 – 30 years.
Does Silicone Render Crack?
Silicone is extremely versatile and provides high performance. As such it is very flexible and resistant to any cracks. Given that it provides a wide range of coloured options, it’s unique combination of such benefits has made it a very popular choice with our customers.
Unlike a layer of paint that will show underneath if it gets cracked, the silicone finish is highly pigmented which means the damage to the top layer is much less obvious. However in our experience silicone render doesn’t crack and on the odd chance that it does, it’s very easy to put right.
