Rendering is a technique common in Australia that involves applying a cement-based mixture to external or internal walls to create a smooth or textured surface. Similar to plastering, rendering serves functional purposes like waterproofing and fire resistance while also contributing to aesthetics. In the ever-evolving world of rendering, we remain at the forefront, embracing cutting-edge techniques and technologies to deliver exceptional results for our clients. Our unwavering commitment to innovation ensures that your home and business benefits from the latest advancements in the industry, resulting in a finish that’s both contemporary and enduring.
We continuously explore and integrate the latest rendering techniques, utilising advanced equipment and specialised processes to achieve unparalleled quality and efficiency. Our expertise extends to a wide range of rendering materials, including traditional lime-based renders, modern acrylic renders, and innovative silicone-enhanced renders. As an environmentally conscious company, we prioritise sustainable practices throughout our rendering processes. We meticulously select materials at our customer’s behest for minimal environmental impact that reduces waste and energy consumption.
A Typical Cement Rendering Mix Used in Australia
A typical mix ratio for rendering is 6 parts sand, 1 part cement, and 1 part lime. General-purpose cement is suitable for rendering, while the sand should be fine and free of impurities. Coarser sand is used for the base layer, while slightly finer sand is preferred for the top layer.
Primary Components of Renders Used in Australia
The main components of renders include:
- Cement is the binding agent that provides strength and durability.
- Sand provides bulk and texture to the render.
- Lime enhances workability, reduces cracking, and improves breathability.
- Water activates the cement and allows for proper mixing and application.
Additives to Render the Mix with Enhanced Strength
Additives can be incorporated into the render mix to enhance its properties.
- Bonding Agents improve adhesion to the substrate.
- Retarding Admixtures slows down the drying process, allowing for more time to work with the render.
- Pigments introduce colour variation to the render.
- Lime-Based Renders are preferred for older buildings.
Acrylic and Pre-Mixed Renders for Modern Applications
Acrylic and pre-mixed rendering products offer superior water resistance and strength, allowing application on challenging surfaces like concrete, cement sheeting, or expanded polystyrene cladding. Some types can be applied using specialised spray equipment, setting in 24-48 hours compared to traditional renders that may take up to 28 days.
Silicone-Enhanced Renders: A Promising Option
A modern rendering option is silicone-enhanced render, which combines water repellence with breathability, similar to lime mortar. With various colour options and excellent strength properties, it is emerging as a preferred rendering choice.
Rendering Application Techniques Used in Australia
Rendering typically involves a cement mixer for an even mix with the right water content. Application is done with a trowel in thin, smooth coats. Decorative effects are achieved through a finishing top coat or wash, applied with a trowel, brush, or sponge. Skill is crucial for achieving different textures, finishing styles, and decorative effects.
Special Micro Cement Wall & Floor Rendering Services
JC Render & Paint Pty Ltd can create decorative walls and floors with the skilful micro cement application for living spaces. The proper application of micro cement requires expertise and skill to ensure the desired results and long-lasting durability. Hiring a professional company like us for micro cement application is recommended to maximise the benefits of this versatile and stylish material.
Micro cement is a versatile, durable, and aesthetically pleasing material that has gained popularity for wall and floor rendering. Its thin application makes it suitable for both new and existing surfaces, while its resistance to abrasion, impact, and water makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and wet environments.
Proper surface preparation, priming, and application of multiple thin layers of micro cement are essential for achieving a smooth, even, and seamless finish. The material offers flexibility in colour and texture, allowing for customization to match specific design preferences. Once the desired finish is achieved, sealing the micro cement surface with protective coatings enhances durability and prevents stains.
