FAQs
1. How do I maintain my rendered exterior? Maintaining render systems is simple with regular cleaning and inspection. Wash the exterior with a mild detergent to remove dirt, algae, and pollutants. For silicone and thin coat renders, this helps retain their colours and textures over time. If cracks appear, repairing the coat quickly prevents deeper issues. Using high-quality materials like those from leading manufacturers ensures long-term durability. Some systems may require a fresh layer of paint after several years to maintain a crisp finish. Licata’s renders are designed to be durable, making maintenance minimal while ensuring your house remains protected.
2. Can render systems improve my home's energy efficiency? Yes, applying render systems can enhance your house’s thermal performance. A coat of insulation combined with silicone or thin coat renders helps regulate indoor temperatures. This reduces heat loss in colder months while keeping interiors cooler in summer. Licata’s systems offer a range of materials, including cork-based and breathable renders that help improve efficiency. With the right installation, they also provide resistant protection against weather, reducing energy costs and ensuring long-term savings.
3. Are render systems suitable for all climates? Yes, modern render systems are designed to withstand various climates. Silicone and thin coat renders are flexible and resistant to moisture, making them ideal for damp environments. In colder regions, breathable systems help prevent trapped moisture, reducing the risk of cracking. Licata offers renders in different textures and colours, ensuring a facade that is both weatherproof and aesthetically pleasing. Choosing the right material and installation method ensures the render system performs optimally in any climate.
4. How long does a render system last? The lifespan of render systems depends on the quality of materials, installation, and environmental conditions. High-quality renders, such as those with silicone or thin coat finishes, can last for decades with minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and prompt repairs extend longevity, while occasional paint touch-ups keep the exterior fresh. Licata’s renders are designed for durable performance, ensuring your house remains protected and visually appealing for years
5. Can I apply a new render over an existing one? In many cases, a new coat can be applied over an existing render system, provided the substrates are stable. A fresh base coat improves adhesion and prevents cracking, ensuring the new coat bonds effectively. Licata’s systems offer solutions for various substrates, including brickwork, masonry, and carrier board applications. Consulting professionals ensures a proper installation process, helping achieve a durable and long-lasting finish.
6. Do render systems require planning permission? Most render systems do not require planning permission, but it depends on your location and the extent of the renovation. If applying a coat that significantly alters the building’s facade, local building regulations may require approval. We recommend checking with your local authority to confirm requirements. In Conservation Areas or Listed Buildings, specific systems and decorative finishes may be necessary to meet regulations while maintaining the structure’s historical appearance.
7. Can I use render systems on both new and old buildings? Yes, modern render systems can be used on both new and older buildings. For new builds, silicone and thin coat renders provide a contemporary, low-maintenance finish. Older buildings may require a base coat for added adhesion and stability before applying a fresh coat. Licata’s systems are designed to be suitable for a variety of substrates, including brickwork, concrete, and masonry. Whether for a new construction or a house renovation, our renders provide a durable, weather-resistant solution.
