3 Areas Of Your Exterior To Refresh

Looking at your exterior and knowing that it needs a makeover is one thing. Identifying what exactly needs a refresh is another thing altogether. There are a number of areas that can be enhanced by applying house rendering. Here, we discuss the aspects of your property that could potentially require rejuvenation, and the types of service that would be most suitable.

1. Fascias and guttering

If fascia and guttering isn’t up to standard, then there is a risk to your property’s stability – as well as an increased chance of leaks. Also, it will give the home an unattractive aesthetic. You can ensure that yours is long-lasting by opting to use fascia and guttering made from Andura materials. This will give it a 30-year guarantee. MK Rendering will also make sure that the work is completed to the highest standards. We’ll see where the connections of fascia boards, soffits and downpipes can be made tougher. In addition, we guarantee that the colour and style choices complement any other rendering work.

2. External insulation systems

Switching on the heating the second summer turns to autumn is a sure sign that you may require external insulation systems. Whilst there are a few different ways to heat up your home, this one will prove the most effective. These systems lessen your carbon footprint, which in turn reduces your bills significantly. Their energy efficiency also adds value to your property – an advantage should you decide to sell it in the future. Along with this, external insulation systems are beneficial throughout the entire year, maintaining coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter. They are durable too, meaning they’re a solution that lasts the test of time.

3. Walls

This is part of your outdoors that gets the most attention, so unsightly or damaged walls shouldn’t be tolerated. Textured wall coatings can help make it more appealing, giving it a fresh look and longevity. There’s also cement rendering, ideal for extra strength with increased protection from severe weather.

Stone cladding is fantastic for conveying a British heritage look with your property, and scratch render gives a weathered stone appearance. Or you could opt for pebble dashing, a mottled effect that will make your home sparkle. The wide choice of colours and tones ensures the stones will create an entirely individual look for your exterior.

Polymer render systems are the perfect solution for those wanting to protect against extreme condensation, or cracks or gaps, materialising in the future. These can be partnered with machine sprayed renders – a great way to achieve an eye-catching finish.

A simple brush and clean is another idea. This removes substances like dust, organic debris and pollutant stains to get your walls gleaming again. You may require renewed pointing work if your current pointing is sticking out like a sore thumb. This is essential for your property’s structure, and could lead to damp and mould if not done properly.

Whichever type of home rendering you choose, you should make sure it’s completed to a quality standard by experts. At MK Rendering, we do exactly this.
