Modern silicone-based external render — hydrophobic, self-cleaning, breathable, available in hundreds of colours. The premium low-maintenance external render system. Compare up to 3 free quotes from vetted local tradespeople within 24 hours.
Silicone rendering is widely regarded as the premium external render system available today. The silicone (siloxane) polymer added to the render compound makes the finished surface hydrophobic — water beads off rather than soaking in — while remaining fully vapour permeable (breathable). This unique combination means silicone render actively repels rainwater and algae, while allowing the wall to breathe.
Silicone render is available in hundreds of premixed colours — no painting required, ever. The colour runs through the material, meaning minor chips or scratches are almost invisible. Leading systems include Weber Silicone, Parex Monorex Si, and Sto Silco. Most manufacturers offer 10–25 year product guarantees.
