Benefits of System Render (Silicone Top Coat Render)

In a nutshell, silicone render is a ‘thin coat render’ which is applied on top of a basecoat at just a few millimetres thick. It seals and enhances the appearance of your property. Fibres are added to prevent cracking in turn providing durability and lasting finish.

There are huge advantages of Silicone render

Silicone is breathable – Breathable materials allow moisture to pass through the walls without it becoming trapped. This relationship between moisture and buildings is essential for structural health and performance. A lack of breathability in building materials can lead to interstitial condensation, also known as damp, and a whole host of other underlying issues.

Silicone is self-coloured – silicone has the colour mixed into it, meaning, just one coat and the job is complete. Having the render pre-coloured means that it last longer, eliminating the requirement for painting, drastically reducing the cost of maintenance.
