Exterior house or wall rendering is basically an application of an external wall coating over the brick and mortar with which the house is built. It is often done by a plasterer with the help of hand and tools and then this layer is again covered with coats of wall colors so as to protect the wall rendering from cracks, erosion, and abrasion under severe weather conditions and other external factors. The externals especially the ones rendered require exclusive maintenance. They need to be kept away from penetration of damp, build up of molds, scopes of cracking, etc.
Enhancing Aesthetic Appeal of the Property
One of the basic as well as primary reasons of external rendering is to enhance the aesthetic appeal and exterior ambiance of a house. Since no one prefers a shabby looking house and wants to impress others with their spic and span exteriors, application of wall rendering is sought after with great enthusiasm.
In case of typically old buildings and houses where bricks and mortars are left bare and visible completely ruining the impression of the entire house external rendering becomes an essentiality. Moreover, since the externals of a house are always exposed to the weather threats, pollution as well as extensive scale of abrasion, they easily lose their spark and become
Dull
Unattractive
Marked by visible cracks and molds
By applying a coat of render over the old layer can change the entire look, smoothen it and can also be a good alternative of re painting your externals once in every few years.
Resists Penetration of Damp
Old buildings, and even the new ones which are exposed to rough and rugged weather conditions, excessive humid conditions etc can have extensive threat of catching on damps. This threat heightens further if your external renders have cracks. Cracks will not always be easily visible to your eyes; therefore, inspection of your externals from time to time is a necessary part of house maintenance. Cracks on exterior renders are highly dangerous for the health of your house’s construction, since moisture can easily seep through such cracks and cause a series of issues. Therefore, re application of render on your externals is likely to block the cracks thereby preventing moisture from disintegrating the strength of your house.
Apart from this there are many other advantages associated with external rendering. When you understand the importance of house maintenance, you will understand the importance of rendering externals as well, since this is the surface which is constantly in touch with rain, sun, dry spells of weather or even storms and what not.
Rendering acts like a shield over the brick and mortar beneath and protects them directly from the harsh effects of the exterior weather conditions.
Since, nowadays renders are potentially micro porous in characteristics, they let your property breathe through, while at the same time offering them a protective guard.
Using highly developed and advanced quality of rendering materials can offer you extensive longevity of over 25 years, as well.
A onetime investment which can eliminate repetitive expenditure of painting your house.
The discolorations, marks, spots, cracks and other defects of the externals are easily visible to the world and with a quality rendering you can easily hide them for a long period.
Getting external rendered adds value to your property if you are planning to resell it. It can also help to fetch a better price for the same.
