Key Take Aways
Waterproof renders both refresh aesthetics and protect structures by forming a durable outer layer that repels moisture and weathering.
Multiple render types suit different needs:
Cement (mineral) – traditional, breathable but not waterproof, often requiring paint.
Acrylic – water-resistant, flexible, generally coloured pre-mix, suitable for variable climates.
Silicone – hydrophobic yet breathable, premium option lasting ~30 years with self-cleaning properties.
Lime and Pebbledash – traditional, breathable options with flexible properties; pebbledash offers texture but requires maintenance.
Monocouche – a “one-coat” breathable render, waterproof and self-coloured, ideal for durability and aesthetics.
Modern renders are microporous and ultra-durable, allowing moisture to escape while sealing out water, reducing need for annual repairs.
Choosing correct render requires matching render type to substrate and climate, plus ensuring proper surface prep, repair of cracks, and skilled application.
High-quality waterproof renders, especially silicone or monocouche, meet standards (e.g., British Standards), often carry long-term warranties (~25 years), and enhance thermal performance by keeping walls dry.
Water Proof Renders And Other Types
When the exterior walls of masonry need a new application of cement, it becomes essential to apply rendering to the wall. Rendering is one such process whereby a formulated mixture is prepared and then this mixture is applied to the walls in order to provide a new and finished look. Depending on the need and requirements of the structure rendering can be chosen. It ensures that the structure becomes aesthetically pleasing as well as providing a protective shield to withstand seasonal impact. Nowadays, homeowners have even started considering the option of colored rendering materials in order to get an exterior that blends well with the home surroundings. Also, there are water proof renders that prevent water and moisture from entering the structure.
