Comprehensive Home Rendering Services
Our team provides a full range of rendering services for homes, using both acrylic and cement render for a variety of surfaces. We work on interior and exterior walls, fences, retaining walls, and other structures, ensuring every surface is properly prepared and finished. Each render is sealed prior to painting, helping prevent cracking or peeling and maintaining a beautiful appearance for longer. By using high-quality materials and time-tested techniques, we ensure that your render not only looks good but also stands strong against the harsh Australian climate.
Rendering for New Homes and Builds
If you are building a new home, our rendering for new builds provides a professional, modern finish that adds value and style. We apply both acrylic and cement renders depending on the surface and your preferred look. Traditional options such as roughcast and sand and cement finishes create timeless textures, while smooth acrylic coatings offer a clean, contemporary feel.
Rendering for Existing Homes and Renovations
Over time, your home’s exterior can become worn or dated. Our rendering for existing homes is a simple and effective way to give your property a fresh new look while improving protection against the weather. We can render both internal and external surfaces, including walls, fences, garden features, and retaining walls. Whether your goal is to repair cracked render, refresh an older surface, or modernise your home’s style, our team delivers a smooth, professional finish that complements your existing structure.
Durable Cement Rendering for Home Exteriors
Cement rendering remains one of the most popular and durable finishes for exterior walls. Applied directly over brick or concrete, it provides a strong, weather-resistant coating that protects your home for years to come. At Pat’s Rendering Service, we can achieve a variety of finishes, from smooth and polished to textured designs. We also specialise in traditional bullnose cornering finishes, perfect for homeowners who want to retain a classic aesthetic while improving structural protection. Cement render is particularly suited to outdoor areas and provides excellent longevity in Australian conditions.
Acrylic Rendering for Interiors and Decorative Finishes
Acrylic rendering offers a flexible and visually appealing finish that is ideal for interiors and smooth surfaces. It gives walls extra depth and dimension while resisting cracking and wear. Acrylic render can be applied in a variety of styles, including coloured, roll-on, and sponge finishes, allowing homeowners to customise their space with different textures and tones. Its versatility makes it perfect for both modern homes and renovations, providing a sleek, polished result that’s easy to maintain.
Flexible Membrane Paints for Long-Lasting Protection
To further protect your rendered surfaces, we use flexible membrane paints that act as a durable topcoat. These paints add water resistance, prevent cracking, and extend the life of the render by shielding it from UV rays and moisture. Membrane paints are particularly useful for restoration and repair work, offering added strength to older or previously rendered walls. They also enhance colour retention, keeping your home looking clean and freshly finished for longer.
