There are many different types of render on the market, all with different properties. The range includes older sand-cement style renders, to scratch renders, and thin coat renders. Silicone render is a thin coat render at just a few millimetres thick, applied on top of a base coat. Silicone is becoming ever more popular these days.

Thin coat silicone render has a superior water resistance to cement renders. They can be used over a number of back grounds. These can come in many colours and are ideal for overcoating existing renders when on a budget.
