What is Specialist Rendering?

Rendering is the process of applying a protective layer to a building’s exterior to shield it from weather damage and improve thermal efficiency. Specialist rendering uses advanced materials such as monocouche, silicone, and acrylic renders to create durable, weather-resistant finishes that last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Customised Solutions

Every project is unique, and we tailor our rendering services to suit the specific needs of your building, be it for aesthetic purposes or enhanced weather protection. We offer a wide selection of render types, textures, and colours to match your design vision.

Weather Resistance and Durability

Our renders are specially formulated to withstand extreme weather conditions, providing a durable, weatherproof barrier that protects your building from water damage, cracking, and UV rays. This is particularly important for properties in the UK’s variable climate.

Energy Efficiency

OCL’s insulated render systems improve the thermal performance of buildings, reducing energy consumption and cutting heating bills. By using external wall insulation, we help our clients achieve better energy ratings and more sustainable buildings.

Minimal Maintenance

Our specialist renders, especially silicone-based systems, are designed to require very little upkeep. They are resistant to dirt and algae, ensuring that your building maintains its fresh appearance for many years with minimal cleaning.

Our Specialist Rendering Services

At OCL Facades, we provide a range of specialist rendering systems to meet the specific requirements of each project:

- Monocouche Rendering: A single-layer, through-coloured render that offers a clean, consistent finish and eliminates the need for frequent repainting. This system provides excellent weather resistance and is highly popular for its low maintenance and aesthetic qualities.
- Silicone Render Systems: Flexible and highly resistant to harsh weather, silicone renders are breathable and prevent issues like algae growth and cracking. This type of render is ideal for both residential and commercial properties exposed to variable weather conditions.
- Acrylic Rendering: Acrylic-based renders offer great versatility, providing a durable and vibrant finish. They are ideal for projects requiring customised colours and textures, and can be used on a variety of substrates.
- Cement Rendering: For a more traditional look, cement renders offer excellent durability and can be finished smooth or textured to suit the architectural style of the building. This is particularly suitable for older structures or projects that require a classic finish.
- Insulated Render Systems (EWI): External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems not only improve a building's appearance but also enhance its thermal performance. These systems help reduce energy consumption by improving heat retention, making them an excellent choice for eco-conscious projects.

Where Specialist Rendering is Used

- Residential Developments: From modern housing estates to refurbishments, rendering transforms the exterior of homes, providing a clean, contemporary finish while improving insulation.
- Commercial Buildings: Offices, retail outlets, and public buildings benefit from the durability and aesthetic appeal of specialist renders, which enhance their professional appearance and reduce long-term maintenance.
- Industrial Properties: Robust and weather-resistant, our renders are ideal for industrial buildings that require both functionality and durability without compromising on appearance.
