What is silicone rendering?

As the name suggests, silicone render contains silicone. This is a rubbery material (a polymer), and one of its key features is its resistance to high temperatures. A great feature of silicone render is that it comes in many colours and formulations. The manufacturing process ensures you can enjoy the colour you like.

If you are looking for a flexible solution that will completely seal a property, the thin coats of silicone are an option to consider.

Why choose a silicone render

Why choose a silicone render?

The number of benefits available with silicone rendering makes it a better choice than many other render solutions available on the market.

Silicone render is easy to apply with a correctly prepared surface

A massive factor in opting for silicone render is its easy application. It is possible to apply thin coat silicone renders to a pre-prepared surface or light weighed construction in hours.

At WeDoRender, we take care of all the preparation work, allowing us to complete the job in just a few hours without compromising on the standard of service.

This render is a hydrophobic solution, so it is self-cleaning

There are many reasons why opting for a water repellent render is a great idea. A brilliant feature of this solution is that it is a self-cleaning render, which means there is little maintenance associated with the render. If you want a wall where dust and dirt particles are washed off the surface by rain, silicone render is an excellent choice.

Opt for a silicone render waterproof solution at your home

Silicone is vapour permeable, which means it repels liquids, is of considerable benefit on external walls, and to properties exposed to a lot of rain or flooding. For an effective penetrating damp solution, which will repel water, protecting internal walls as much as an external wall, just one coat of silicone is enough.

You can enjoy a self coloured render or through coloured renders

Knowing you can specify a colour of render finish is a great reason to choose silicone silicate render. This render also retains colour, and won't fade in the sun, ensuring your home looks great for many years to come.

Think carefully about your through coloured rendering

It is best to choose a colour that matches the overall look in the area. If you opt for a wild colour on an external wall, you might harm the value of your property.

This is a flexible solution

A huge factor in why so many people choose silicone is its flexibility, which is essential when it comes to maintaining the lifespan of the wall.

Does silicone render crack?

No, the nature of silicone silicate makes it less likely to crack than many other renders, so if you want peace of mind about your render remaining in good condition, opt for a silicone render system.

Will silicone render last for decades?

When it comes to value for money, the lifespan of silicone render is very appealing, and a modern render like silicone will last for decades. Whether you plan on staying in the home for this time or want to sell the property, knowing that silicone render is durable and reliable adds value to your house and ensures your property looks great.

You also don't need regular maintenance to keep it looking good. This is a highly durable modern option that is easily washed and suitable for a typical house.

Lower your energy bills with this render

The insulating qualities of silicone render mean it is an excellent solution for those looking to improve the energy efficiency of their home. With rising heating bills, it makes sense to retain heat as much as possible, which is easily done with this external wall insulation. An added level of insulation underneath solid walls, not to mention a layer of reinforcing mesh, helps to retain heat in a home.

The initial outlay for this external render pays off in the short and long term, making it a good value for money solution for property owners.

Is a thin coat render suitable for all homes and weather conditions?

If you are worried about extreme weather conditions impacting your home or live in a coastal area, you must feel confident about your render choice.

Thin coat renders are surprisingly robust

While the name of a thin coat render might suggest this is a lightweight solution, you’ll be surprised at how persistent it is in dealing with harsh weather conditions.

As you can see, the long list of benefits associated with silicone renders makes it an excellent choice for property owners looking for a render solution.

Are there any drawbacks with silicone render?

While there are many great reasons to opt for silicone render at home, it would be wrong to suggest there were no drawbacks to this material.

This is not a cheap pre-mixed solution for a wall

If you have a limited budget, there is no denying silicone is a more expensive option than many other rendering solutions. When you add in additional costs such as a fibreglass mesh layer, a top coat and an appropriate base coat, it adds up. However, we believe that the value for money associated with this solution makes it a viable option for many property owners.

Knowing you can expect around 25 years of exemplary service from silicone render spreads the cost of silicone over a longer time frame.

Another issue to consider with a silicone coat render is that it is best not placed over an existing render. You'd think adding a silicone top coat to a previous render is viable, but the results are rarely as good as applying a standard render.

How much does silicone render cost and is silicone render expensive?

There are many factors to consider when determining the cost of silicone render. However, Checkatrade, as of the summer of 2022, lists the average price per square metre as £10.80 per m2 for materials. Of course, when hiring professionals to apply silicone render, there are many other costs to consider.

The same source states that with the cost of labour involved, homeowners should expect to pay between £45 and £65 per square metre. We treat each project as a unique case and will provide you with a tailored quote for the work we undertake. We aim to offer great value for money with all our projects, and we are more than happy to talk you through the process.

Some of the different layers involved with silicone render work include:

  • Applying a base coat
  • Embedding a fibreglass mesh during the rendering task
  • Using a top coat primer, and this can consist of a coloured render top coat if required
  • Applying beading to exterior wall edges and corners to ensure the finish is appealing

We’re pleased to say we have received a lot of positive feedback for our work, and we ensure your home looks excellent and is well protected.

Are silicone renders expensive?

It is essential to note that expensive is a subjective term and depends on a person’s perspective. There is no denying silicone render is more expensive than a standard cement render or acrylic renders, which means silicone render cost is high for many households.

As said, the durable nature of your silicone top coat and how long it lasts ensures you get great value for money by opting for this solution.

What’s the difference between acrylic render and silicone?

Given the similarities between acrylic render and silicone render, it is natural for people to ask what the difference is between them. They are both basic renders, enhanced with another substance, and the big factor in favour of silicone render is that it doesn’t impact breathability.

With acrylic renders, you are far more likely to suffer from dampness issues and algae on exterior walls. This is unsightly, as well as likely to cause problems in the future.

Also, unlike acrylic, silicone is an eco-friendly option, which is an essential issue for a growing number of people these days.

As stated, silicone is more expensive than most renders, including acrylic rendering, which is a relatively cheap render. If you are solely focused on the price of render, acrylic rendering is likely to be a good choice. Of course, silicone rendering is the more viable option for overall benefits.

Are there dependable silicone products to consider?

There are many reliable brands manufacturing silicone render, so you can be confident about the finished products the top manufacturers offer. We can advise you on the leading types of render, and there is a type of render for every home.

Some leading types of render to consider

The EWI Pro silicone render is a popular choice for many professionals, as is the K rend range of rendering solutions. Their Alkali resistant fabric mesh product features in many homes across the country, and if you want to discuss the product options with us, we are more than happy to assist you.

With silicone render applied effectively, the rendering process looks great, and lasts for many years to come. To make the best decision, choose silicone render and contact our Helmsley team at WeDoRender to discuss your options today.

Silicone Rendering Helmsley FAQs

Is silicone render waterproof?

Silicone Render was created with hydrophobic qualities in mind. It is completely waterproof. This means that water is repelled off the render's surface rather than absorbed into the material.

Does silicone render crack?

Silicone render is a top-of-the-line, breathable thin coat, flexible render that provides advanced self-cleaning capabilities, increased impact resistance, and UV protection. This means it gives a long-lasting, crack-resistant finish that will retain its brilliant colour for many years.

Does silicone render stop damp?

Does rendering keep damp at bay? Yes, particularly silicone and wet dash rendering, which have waterproof qualities that prevent water from infiltrating the render and brickwork.

Does silicone render need painting?

Silicone renders are pre-colored and do not require painting. Painting them with Emperor Masonry Paint merely allows them to be freshly painted if they have been damaged, and it can also help to prevent algae from sticking to the surface of the render, keeping them looking clean for decades to come.
