Be Rid Of These 3 Rendering Misconceptions Before Hiring Pros

Are you ready to give your precious home a nice, caring coat of protection?

If so, then you should give it a proper rendering coat, rather than simply rely on a quality paint coat to safeguard it against the weather and other exte al elements.

Rendering your home walls makes it impressively durable for a long period. It also keeps all the exte al heat at bay and allows your interiors to stay cool without the need for appliance cooling.

All this helps reduce your electricity bill at the end of each month. And the best part of rendering your house walls is that they come at cost-effective rates with more lasting benefits than painting.

So, there are a number of privileges which you can enjoy with a quality coat of render. However, if this is your first time, then its very easy to be baffled by all the misconceptions circulating about the services.

And to help you stay away from all such false beliefs, this post debunks 3 of those common misconceptions to help you understand the truth.

i. "Rendering Work Can Only Be Done During Summers."

The first misconception which many homeowners in Australia believe to be true includes:- home rendering can be done only during Summers.

Most homeowners get fixated on the fact that rendering your home during Summers allows it to dry up easily.

But the truth is, Summer is not the only season where you can perform a house render. The basic requirement for such treatments is for the weather to stay dry.

You should look to avoid rendering your house during rainy weather. But you most certainly can look to do it during winter seasons, when the weather is cold, dry and suitable for the render mix to dry easily.

ii. "Rendering Over An Existing Paint Doesn't Cause Any Problems."

The second common misconception which many homeowners believe it to be true is that:- "Painting over an existing coat of paint doesn't cause any sorts of problems."

Truth be told- It is a bad idea. When a fresh coat of cement render is applied directly to the painted wall surface, the materials don't get the opportunity to bond adequately to the wall surface. And when that happens, it creates a rather weak interface that causes the render coat to crack or peel off quickly.

Furthermore, there are heaps of evidence which states that putting render over the paint can give rise to organic growth. That leads to premature delamination, which eventually will cause the layers to separate.

Henceforth, if you are planning to save some money in the process, then don't apply a new render coat on the painted wall surface. Look to remove it first and then apply the render mix.

iii. "This Protective Coating Can Be Performed By Any Local Renderer."

Perhaps one of the biggest misconceptions which people believe to be true is that almost any local rendering specialist can perform the job. Some even think that DIY rendering is feasible.

And although this is only partially true, it doesn't necessarily guarantee you the work quality you are after. Rendering is a job primarily meant for experts who have heaps of field knowledge and experience under their collar. There is more to it that simply mixing sand and cement and applying it to your home walls.

A comprehensive rendering treatment involves lots of stages. Right from the base coat to the beading to reinforcing to the top-most coat- all require proper expertise, not to forget the right sets of tools to achieve the desired work quality.

So as a word of advice, if you're looking to render your home walls properly, then don't take chances with DIY or even with local renders having shady reputations or no proper proof of their work experience.

Always choose wall rendering professionals who have:-

• A good reputation in the market
• Who have lots of work samples as proof of their work quality
• And, also who have heaps of positive testimonials to vouch for their dedication and professionalism.

Before you hire professional renders to lend a protective coat to your home walls, remember these 3 misconceptions. It will help you save money and achieve the desired work quality you are after.
