It’s important for homeowners to look after and protect the external walls of their property from all weather conditions.
Extreme weather can affect the look and the condition of a property, and it can also have a detrimental effect on the internal walls, causing problems such as damp and mould.
This is where rendering can help.
Providing an external layer of protection, rendering provides great aesthetic appeal as well as protecting your home from the external elements.

Different render products have different properties that will determine their suitability in varying weather conditions.
For example, some use greater thicknesses to increase resistance to rain, whereas others use additives such as silicone to repel water from the surface.
The good news for homeowners is that there is a range of external rendering for extreme weather, solutions that include:
Waterproof render – going a long way to protect external walls from moisture, heat, and humidity, waterproof render helps to ensure longevity and protects from damp. Weather-resistant products include silicone and acrylic renders, which offer a high resistance against moisture, UV, and temperature fluctuations.
Silicone thin coat renders are great for properties that are exposed to the elements, i.e., coastal and woodland properties.
Traditional cement rendering with a paint finish – a mix of sand and cement, this type of rendering is one of the most traditional, and with the extra layer of paint applied when the render is dry, you can create more layers of protection. However, this type of rendering with a paint finish must be of a high quality, as errors and discrepancies can be heightened in this solution.
Through coloured rendering – also known as scratch rendering, is a polymer-modified pre-coloured render that is applied in a single coat to block and brickwork directly. The render is applied to a thickness of between 15 and 20cm, and if you achieve high-quality render work, it can last up to 25 years! Note: this render can be enhanced with silicone in order to make it water-resistant.
Rendered rain screen cladding – if you’re looking for external rendering for extreme weather, this could be the solution for you. A wall system that consists of a cement-style board and a thin coat system finish, protecting external walls from severe weather conditions, this type of rendering cladding is multipurpose as it can also be used in the construction of timber as well as steel fixtures.
Mosaic render – designed to provide high levels of moisture resistance, this type of rendering is extremely suitable for damp conditions.
For an added layer of protection, most homeowners will opt for a protective coating finish, acting as a great additional sealant. For example, self-cleaning masonry paint can also help to keep dirt off walls, as well as provide an aesthetically pleasing protective layer.
Quality render work relies on precise conditions and working with a rendering specialist in Leeds.
To achieve high-quality rendering results:
Render is affected by moisture and humidity, cold and freezing temperatures, and continuous exposure to heat and sun, which means it is essential that you check that the rendering product and the materials you opt for are suitable for the construction and weather conditions it will be subject to.
Some parts of the country are more exposed than others, and it’s important that you protect the outside of your home as best as possible.
