<p>Rendering on the exterior walls of building is generally used as an alternative to brick or <a class="wpg-linkify wpg-tooltip" title='&lt;h3 class="wpg-tooltip-title"&gt;&lt;span class="wpg-tooltip-term-title"&gt;Concrete&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="wpg-tooltip-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A mixture of sand:cement and aggregate of varying sizes depending on use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;' href="https://paintcheckplus.co.uk/glossary/concrete/">concrete</a> blocks.</p>
<p>Note. While dry <a class="wpg-linkify wpg-tooltip" title='&lt;h3 class="wpg-tooltip-title"&gt;&lt;span class="wpg-tooltip-term-title"&gt;Render&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="wpg-tooltip-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="wp-image-11680 alignright" src="https://paintcheckplus.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/s-l1600-212x300.webp" alt="" width="122" height="173" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rendering on the exterior walls of building is generally used as an alternative to brick or concrete blocks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note. While dry render is paintable care should be taken as to the quality and nature of the work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If in doubt regarding the condition and product suitability of a coatings to applied advice from the manufacture should be obtained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: Exterior Render is&#xA0; made from 6 parts Sharp Sand 1part Portland Cement and one part Lime 6:1:1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lime is added as a plasticiser which&#xA0; makes it easier to work with. The addition of lime can weaken the overall strength of the render making it more porous.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In place of lime, suppliers now offer liquid plasticisers. &lt;img class="wp-image-11679 alignright" src="https://paintcheckplus.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Everbuild-Placesticer.webp" alt="" width="109" height="108" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
