Monocouche Rendering Newbridge
Monocouche render, often called K-Rend in Ireland, is a through-coloured, single-coat render applied to the outside of houses and extensions. Our monocouche rendering service in Newbridge gives walls a clean, finished appearance.
Because the colour runs all the way through the render, there is no need to paint it. That makes it a popular choice for new builds, extensions and older homes where the existing walls need renewing.
Good render depends on good preparation. The wall behind it has to be sound, clean and suitably prepared, otherwise problems show through later. We look at the existing surface first and explain what is needed.
How we approach a render job
- Inspecting the wall, and agreeing what needs repairing or preparing
- Fitting beads, stops and trims to give straight edges and crisp corners
- Protecting windows, doors, roof edges and the ground below
- Mixing and applying the render to a consistent thickness
- Finishing the surface to the texture you have chosen, such as scraped or rough-cast
- Cleaning up and leaving the site tidy
Choosing a finish and colour
Monocouche is available in a wide range of colours and finishes. We are happy to talk through the options with you, so the render suits the house and the neighbourhood.
Weather and timing
Render needs reasonable weather to apply and cure properly. Heavy rain, frost and strong sun can all cause problems, so we plan the job around conditions, and protect fresh work where we can.
Is render right for your house?
Render can lift the look of an older house or tie an extension in with the original building. We talk through whether it suits your walls, and what the job involves.
Existing walls matter. Damp, crumbling or loose areas need dealing with first, because render only looks as good as the wall behind it.
Render also pairs well with other work. If you would rather keep and repaint what you have, see our exterior house painting.
