FAQS
Tom, What is cement rendering?
Cement Rendering is the application of a mixture of sand and cement to brick. It can be textured, coloured, or painted after application. It is generally used on external walls of a building.
Cement render strengthens outside walls and helps combat the effects of weather. Rendering your Perth home can add street front appeal and increase the value of your property.
Tom, How long will I need to wait before painting my walls?
I would normally allow 5 – 6 weeks to let walls to completely dry out after cement rendering your home. One your exterior walls have dried you can start painting.

Acrylic renders provide added protection against the harsh West Australian sun and is less likely to crack.
