One of the most important aspects to consider when renovating a property is exterior rendering. This process, which is also known as plastering, will help protect the surface of your house or building from weather damage and keep it looking pristine for years to come. A local plasterer in Shrewsbury will have the expertise to provide you with professional exterior rendering results on any property.
What is Rendering?
One of the most popular types of rendering is called cement rendering. This method involves applying a layer of mixed plaster, sand and cement onto exterior surfaces using a trowel to create an even finish with sharp lines that give it a very professional appearance. The local plasterer will also apply waterproof render on any exposed brickwork or concrete before finishing off by adding colour wash as appropriate. It’s important to note that this type of work should not be attempted at home as incorrect application can result in severe damage such as cracking and falling away from your walls – which isn’t exactly what you want for those perfect Instagram shots! So if you’re thinking about doing some DIY work but aren‘t sure where to start then contact a local plasterer in Shrewsbury such as MTB Plastering to discuss your needs and provide a quote for rendering services.

How is Rendering different to Plastering?
In many ways, rendering as actually the same as plastering. They are different types of exterior decoration that can both be used on the same surface. MTB have extensive experience with rendering, and know which type is best for your project and advise you accordingly.
There are three main types of render – acrylic rendering, lime render, and Sand & Cement rendering.
Acrylic rendering tends to be made off-site and arrives ready made. It’s a local plasterer’s recommendation of you are after bright colours to add flare to your property.
Lime render is a traditional local plasterer’s option. It provides the classic look of sand and cement rendering, but takes longer to apply and can take up to two days in some cases.
Sand & Cement rendering is one of the most popular types used today because it will dry out quickly so application time is shortened significantly compared with lime renders. We have extensive experience using this type of rendering, making them your best choice for professional exterior rendering results in Shrewsbury.
