Rendering and Plastering

Viero Group has a highly skilled and experienced plastering and rendering team which serves both the commerical and residential sectors.

We have a variety of different rendering manufactures that we work with and a list of these render systems are listed below, giving you a simple guide to whats best for you:

Monocuche

Monocouche renders are currently our most popular. These weather-resistant, coloured renders are designed for both new builds and existing refurbishment projects, making them a desirable product to use over multiple backgrounds. They visualise a flat, sharp detailed wall but with a mottled texture close up. Theres even an option to apply these as a heavy textured pattern, like rough-casting or a tyrollean finish…

Our vast rendering spectrum can cover all desirable effects with Monocouche, from Ashlar jointing to Quoin stone feature walls. We can even apply these renders with an array of coloured stones, including Ashton Marble or Polar white aggregates for pebble dashing applications, creating clean, sharp colourful finishes. Suitably used over most masonry backgrounds including brick or blockwork, external wall Insulation and render carrier-boards. Smaller areas such as garden walls or BBQ areas and basements.

Whilst not a fully waterproof render, it is a highly water-resistant cement render, and the resistance can be further improved by the application of a hydrophobic coating if required. Though this has self-cleaning productivity – This gives an even better cleaning attribute once applied . So worth baring in-mind if you live in a high impact area from pollution, vegetation or human traffic.

Acrylic & Silicone Rendering

These light weight decorative applications are applied over pre-finished, flat rendered surfaces. Surfaces applied with a modern polymer render coat, a traditional sand and cement finish or an EWI application may take these types of decorative top coats.. The acrylic is a non breathable application with a high level of water resistance which can be easily cleaned with a jet wash.

Silicone top coats are Vapour permeable, meaning they can let water evaporate unlike Acrylics that could trap moisture when applied over the wrong background. Silicone renders provide a seamless waterproof finish in a desired colour of over 160 + colours. Their flexibility and increased resistance to UV rays, means that the pre-cleaning, coloured render will not fade over time. Ideal for use with EWI systems over such materials like Mineral Wool and Wood Fibre systems which are also breathable. It is the premium choice when it comes to coloured decorative render. One of our most trusted….

Traditional Rendering

Traditional rendering consists of two common types, the first is – Pebble dashing or dash receiver. This is a popular widespread exterior coating where aggregated stone pebbles are applied over a sand and cement render mix, applied to a masonry surface. Pebble dashing is commonly used to hide unsightly brickwork or breeze blocks giving your property that rustic traditional country look .By the nature of its textured appearance & natural rustic charm, pebble dash can transform the look of the building drastically. We have an array of different blends of stone that can also be applied along side coloured renders to enhance the overall look of any property. The second is a smooth flat traditional render. The make-up of the mix will be carefully gauged with washed river sands and sometimes hydraulic limes to ensure the correct mortar mix has been achieved for the project in mind. The application will be then levelled flat and float finished, to achieve a flat surface for completion. The application of an acrylic or silicone render can be applied over the walls or painted with a masonry paint.

EWI - External Wall Insulation

External wall insulation is a great way to protect your property against heat loss and the likes of penetrating damp by creating a new weatherproof layer on the outside of the building, slowing down the movement of heat through the walls. This gives the property an advantage by retaining the heat within the rooms and keeping it there, acting like thermal jacket “Nice and warm”.

EWI systems are proven to almost half the yearly heating bills and decrease condensation dramatically. So eliminating future mould growth… IWI – Internal wall insulation is an application where external measurers cannot be performed and therefore walls are thermally improved internally. This also benefits clients who would like to work room by room to improve their thermal efficiency instead of all at once….

Modern coloured renders such as Acrylic’s or Silicone renders as described above can be applied over certain types of EWI boarding. Monocouche renders can also be used on specific external insulation products to.
