One of the most talked about products in today’s home rendering scenario is acrylic rendering. Instead of using purely cement for rendering your house, you can use pre-packaged renders mixed with acrylic (a plastic-based material). Acrylic has been used for various purposes all these years. You can use its properties to render your house’s interior as well. In this blog, we will delve deeper into understanding why you can consider using this rendering technique.
Not Tendency To Crack
Unlike cement renders, which, once cracked, tend to crack in other places as well and are difficult to repair, acrylic renders can eliminate this cracking tendency by a big margin. Although the conventional render material (cement) is extremely durable, it starts showing “hair-line” cracks after serving for 4-5 years. On the flip side, mixing acrylic as an additive increases the elasticity of the molecules, causing them to bind together – firmer. This reinforces the strength of regular cement and also provides a bit of flexibility to avoid cracking.
Suitable For Both Outside and Interior Rendering
Due to its unique molecular structure, mixing acrylic not only makes your render stand the test of time but also makes it weatherproof. This makes acrylic rendering suitable for interior rendering as well as exterior. Hence, it proves as a cost-effective option, as you can use it for rendering –
- Bricks
- Existing render
- Painted walls & ceilings
- Concrete blocks
- Balustrades
- Polystyrene
Similar to cement rendering, acrylic rendering can be completed in multiple finishes and used in different colours. Therefore, you can decide which rendering colour will go perfectly with your setting. So, the next time you opt for render painting, consider using acrylic.
A Perfect Choice For Houses in Extreme Climate
Acrylic rendering is more water-resistant than cement and is highly suitable for locations where the weather changes drastically in a short span. Therefore, it is more resistant to water, snow, and UV exposure. Plus, the material’s flexible nature adapts to expansion and contraction during weather changes. The biggest plus point is that it dries up much more quickly than cement rendering.
Moreover, it is also appropriate on fibre and timbre cement, especially where cement rendering doesn’t work (stick). So, if you’re looking forward to render painting, get in touch with rendering experts like SCR Rendering Brisbane.
Acrylic Rendering is Easier To Apply
If you mix acrylic with cement, it becomes much easier to apply and can easily be trowelled, rolled and sprayed onto a surface. A common practice is two-coat application, sometimes even in different colours. Cement renders dries solid but is prone to cracking, but acrylic can withstand small movements in the wall. Thus, acrylic rendering allows you to be creative, making it an ideal rendering option.
