Welcome To Rendering Brisbane

Rendering Brisbane is dedicated to serving the businesses and residents of Brisbane. You may be looking for a rendering service to help render your house or a wall, but please take a minute to read this first.

Rendering a wall is the act of applying a layer of material such as mud or earthen plaster, lime plaster, plaster, cement or latex to a brick, straw bale or masonry wall to render it smooth. The wall may then be painted if desired. Rendering makes the finished product look aesthetically pleasing. As an option, colours may be added to the rendering materials to blend in with the home’s surroundings, and will dramatically increase the value of your house.

Depending on the ‘look’ required, rendering can be fine or coarse, textured or smooth, natural or coloured, pigmented or painted.

To ensure adhesion, the surface to be rendered is initially hosed off to ensure it is free of any dirt and loose particles. Old paint or old render is scraped away. The surface is roughened to improve adhesion. For large areas vertical battens are fixed to the wall every 1 to 1.5 metres, to keep the render flat and even.

Cement render consists of 6 parts clean sharp fine sand, 1 part cement and 1 part lime. The lime makes the render more workable and reduces cracking when the render dries. Any general purpose cement can be used. Various additives can be added to the mix for increasing adhesion. Coarser sand is used as the base layer and slightly finer sand for the top layer.

These are the steps taken to render a wall
