Although there are different types of render to choose from (lime, pebble dash, acrylic, and polymer), the most common practice is to use cement. After rendering, walls are oftentimes texturised, coloured, and painted to achieve the look that you want. **The proper way to render a wall** Good preparation is key when it comes to wall rendering. A well-prepared surface is one that’s free from dust, oil, and dirt. If it’s been previously rendered, it’s necessary to have the old plaster removed as well. Once the wall is prepped, the rendering expert applies several layers of render to ensure its effectiveness. The last layer of the render will create the finish that you want to achieve. **Benefits of wall rendering** The walls of any building, especially exterior walls, will deteriorate over time. Wind, rain, and other external factors can weaken the walls and cause it to crack and get damaged. Rendering helps protect the walls, making your house look more attractive. Rendering can greatly improve the appearance of your home and dramatically increase the resale value of your house. It also protects your wall from rain and moisture by forming a barrier that protects the wall from outside elements. Rendering is a great way to repair cracks on walls and to restore old buildings.
