Logic Offers a Range of External Plastering Finishes

External plastering, otherwise known as rendering, is a great solution for homeowners wanting to change the appearance of their house. The plaster doesn’t just deliver on the aesthetics, though. It can also help to insulate your home – which drives down utility bills – and stop damp or water from finding its way into your brickwork.

The big decision for Logic Plastering clients to make is which external plastering finish to choose. What was once a fairly simple choice between two or three options has now grown to a dazzling array of finishes. We thought our Bedfordshire clients might appreciate a walk-through of the external plastering finishes to choose from.

What is Rendering?

As we begin to look for newer and smarter ways to lower the energy usage in our homes, it’s worth thinking about the thermal insulation offered by rendering. This relatively simple process enhances the ‘look’ of your home but, first and foremost, it exists to improve the seal of your home. The better the seal the lower your energy output as heat ceases to leak through external walls.

Why render your home? If you’re applying rendering to your house exterior for the first time, it’s probably for one of three reasons:

Weather-proofing – applying a durable protective coating to your home stops water getting in. Rendering is also used as a way of managing problems with penetrative damp.
Insulation – a rendered home will keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. You’ll enjoy a comfortable temperature throughout the year and lower bills!
External Styling – rendering your home allows you to give it a makeover. If your brickwork is looking tired or worn, rendering provides a clean, textured finish in your choice of colour.

If your existing rendering is starting to crack or look shabby, you may be considering repairs, or a replacement render in the style of your choice.
