External thermal rendering

NPA-Editor — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:29:06 +0000

External thermal rendering, or External Wall insulation systems (EWIS) are thermally insulated, protective, decorative exterior wall coating systems which provide an excellent barrier against heat loss in the home.

So who benefits from having NEVER PAINT AGAIN external thermal render fitted to their house? Having one of our heat loss preventing render coatings brings many benefits to the home owner as not only will the house be in top condition, it will look great too, AND your heating bills will drop dramatically as a result!

What is thermal render?

Our version of thermal external render is a coloured render, which is a high performance synthetic render based exterior wall coating system, manufactured in Belgium by Cantillana. It is applied by the plastering division of Never Paint Again. This special render is SIMILAR to products such as K-rend and Weber render products. It is also known as “Through render”, “monocap” and “monocouche”.

We have a version which is just the render only, with a small amount of insulation (More about this render here), but many people, especially during the colder months, ask us for the INSULATED version, which of course, we are more than happy to oblige!

The coloured render we use is based on a mix of co-polymer resins, cement and glass fibre, meaning it is super tough and resists damp, whilst being moderately flexible and fully breathable. The products we use also the recommended Code of Practice for Renders BS 5262 1991 and NBS Building Specification section M20.

It also helps in compliance with Section B2 of the Building Regulations & the obligations under the Regulatory Reform ( Fire Safety) order, known as (RRFSO).

So What is so good about NEVER PAINT AGAIN external wall coatings?

If you do not have external wall insulation fitted, most of the heat which generated in your home to keep you warm, from radiators, fireplaces etc, escapes out of the walls and this can be proved for certain by appointing a qualified surveyor to do a thermal image scan on your home, which would pinpoint where the heat is being lost.

The results of a thermal camera scan showing heat loss from your home may shock you.

Not only that, the heat loss is using valuable CO2 and harms the environment. If your home is losing heat, you could do no worse than considering having thermal render fitted. There are some other steps you can take to warm up your home and prevent further heat loss such as double glazing, draught excluders and lo9ft insulation, but above all, the most heat will escape through the walls themselves.

We offer a range of exterior wall coatings, but when someone wants something almost “bullet proof” on the outside of their house, they called the rendering experts here on 0800 970 4928 !

Our thermal render can be applied to most types of houses and unlike cavity wall insulation that can cause damp, our renders actually CURE damp, so that’s more benefit to add to the pile!

Weather protection, decoration AND insulation!

Why should I have thermally insulated render?

Well unless you genuinely enjoy being cold (!) and paying hundreds of pounds each month just to keep the place warm, it may be time to think about getting this system done to the exterior walls of your house.

The government sponsored “Energy saving trust “say the following:

Insulating your solid walls you could cut your heating costs by up to 40%.

So that’s a saving of 40% off your yearly heating bills, meaning the payback period, or ROI (return on investment) comes in the short space of a few years, meaning that whatever it costs for NEVER PAINT AGAIN to make your house nice and warm, you will eventually get the money back in the form of drastically reduced heating costs in the home.

A range of different wall finishes are also available, as our different textures and different colours; you tell US what you would like the exterior of your home to look like after we apply the thermal render, and we can make those wishes come true, all with a 15 year warranty for total peace of mind!

The cost of our thermal render system largely depends on the size of your house and the current condition of the walls at present. The bigger the house, the higher the cost. To find out exactly how much, we need some details from you beforehand, so get in touch with us and tell us what you would like.

We also GUARANTEE to BEAT any like-for-like quote from any competitor!

Rendering corners with Angle beads

NPA-Editor — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:14:32 +0000

Never paint again are well known as being experts in external wall rendering! Whether it is just one of our well known invisible repairs, or a full re-render, we have the skills, tools and knowledge to do a first class job every time!

Rendering is also sometimes referred to as exterior plastering, but plaster is not generally used externally due to its delicate nature.

Rendering the exterior of a wall has many functions, the most prominent being that of weather protection, and also, combines with a paint or coating, the wall can have decorative functions too, whilst being fully weatherproof.

Click the image above to see a larger version of a drip bead being used to make a “true” corner repair.

Our company offers:

Rendering jobs are not always as straight forward for us to do as each house is different, but what happens when we render a house and we come to a corner?

Well the best way to deal with this is to use what is now as EML – expanded metal lathe, and CORNER BEADS, sometimes called ANGLE BEADS, which are a small sectional straight piece of equipment to mould and shape the corner and made form either stainless steel, or Upvc.

Straight edges every time!

Using angle beads to restore a victorian porch

It is very important, for a professional wall finish, to make sure that all corners are “true” and straight, and that includes the edges of windows and other openings, known as “reveals”.

We quite often use angle beads when we restore the exterior of an older house, such as the one in this picture, which was a Victorian villa in Torquay, Devon, completed back in 2001.

Whilst many exterior wall coating companies will not respect the original look and feel of a property and just plaster the walls with some sort of “muck” and then disappear with the clients money, our experienced surveyors work with you to achieve a great looking house that still retains its character.

(TIP: Click the photo to see a bigger image).

All the angle beads we use in our work are fully approved and specified by architects and they meet BS EN 13658-2:2005 which is the standard for the design of these types of aids to exterior house rendering.

Whilst still on the subject of British building standards, all rendering we do complies as near as possible to the British & European Standard for the design and application of external render (BS EN 13914-1:2005).

Bell casts or drip beads.

We finish looking at the special beads by mentioning a similar product, called drip beads or bell casts which are used horizontally, to made a protruding base where the render finishes near to the bottom of the wall. This is important because any water that runs down the wall will then “drip” off the bottom and not enter the bricks beneath the damp course, which could possibly cause damp over time.

Not only this, the use of beads (instead of old bits of timber your local builder finds lying in the street!) ensures a premium exterior wall rendering job, but at LOW internet prices.

Every time we do an exterior wall coating job which needs rendering, we always use the best materials we can. Why not look through our gallery archive, which shows you various rendering jobs, and has hundreds of high quality photos to browse through.

Solution for cracked pebbledash

NPA-Editor — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:51:56 +0000

Pebbledash as an exterior wall coating only has a finite lifespan so when the outside walls of your house look tired, with missing stones, cracks, hollow render and bald areas of pebbles, now is the time to consider getting it spruced up.

Pebbledash is not everyone’s cup of tea and when the time comes to have it replaced or repaired, many people wrongly think that having it redashed is the only answer, after all, if you try and paint pebbledash with normal masonry paint, the end result WILL look terrible.

Firstly, let’s define what “Pebbledash” actually is.

The wall covering known as Pebbledash (or pebble-dash, or roughcast) is an exterior wall covering, that is formed of a coating or covering of a sand and cement based render, with the final coat of the dash having small stones or pebbles being literally, thrown at the wet surface by a builder.

This exterior wall finish was made popular here in the United Kingdom since about the 1920′s, when housing was in greater demand, and builders were forced to cut costs wherever they could and the dash was principally applied to cover poor quality bricks.

Original pebbledash found on older properties actually has tiny pebbles, dredged from the sea bed and washed, the motive being that this would repel water from the house walls. Nowadays a more correct definition would be “spar dash” which are small flint chips or similar, and applied in the same way.

Caution must be taken whilst working on this particular type of wall, or even walking close to a spardashed wall as the flint chips can be extremely sharp.

What happens to Pebble-dash over time?

Pebbledash, the original type, has some weatherproofing qualities, however like many thing, it will only last as long as your home does not suffer from frequent bad weather, and also the job was done correctly all those years ago.

Even considering this, many homes were pebbledashed during the housing boom of the 1980′s and often applied to homes where the pebbledash finish does not suit the character of the house, the (expandable) image above left is a prime example of that.

Pebbledash is not flexible and is prone to cracking.

Once the cracks start to appear, they let water in, which then freezes and expands in the wall, pushing the coating of dash AWAY from the bricks underneath. This process gets worse and worse over time and can end up with chunks of wall actually falling off.

The stones themselves also fall off (A quick glance at the ground at the base of the wall should prove that), and the weatherproofing qualities of the wall covering quickly disappear, leaving the wall open to the weather.

The stones cannot be replaced. This is also evident where a pebbledashed house has had previous repairs or alterations, the 2 areas of wall NEVER match up.

Many people wrongly consider painting the wall, and I assure you that this is a very long process due to the rough texture of the wall, and very time consuming, using 2 to 3 times the amount of paint a rendered wall would take.

When you or the decorator have finished, even if you have used good quality masonry paint, the end result would look terrible, utterly awful. Once you have painted the wall, you are them committed to having it repainted around every two years!!!!!

What is the most sensible option for pebbledash?

Considering the points above, the home owner has very few options available; they can either have it re-pebbledashed (which will almost certainly be spar dash, not pebbles) or they consider a durable weatherproof pebbledash wall coating from NEVER PAINT AGAIN instead.

If the home owner chooses to have it re-pebbledashed there are a few things to consider.

If the pebbledash is firmly stuck to the wall, when a builder forcibly removes it, his tools WILL rip out the mortar joints and the faces of the brick beneath, causing potential structural damage to your house.

Ironically if the chap doing the job is somewhat of a “cowboy builder”, they may apply a coat of pebbledash ON TOP OF the existing coating. This massively increases the LOAD on your walls, adding extra weight to something it was not designed for.

This extra weight itself can pull the older pebbledash away from the wall even more, and/or it can seal up the house, denying the walls ability to “breathe” and can CAUSE DAMP.

So if that’s a no-go, what option do I have left?

The benefits of having pebbledash coated with NEVER PAINT AGAIN.

In considering the above information we can see that SPRAYING a paint or coating into pebbledash is by far the best way to achieve a uniform paint coverage, however if the wall is in poor condition, much repair has to be done beforehand. Never paint again have experience dating back to the 1980′s, with transforming pebbledashed houses.

In addition, if the pebbledashed wall has bald areas with no stones, these must be reinstated by spraying cement with what is known as a tyrolean gun, and this blends with the existing dash to form a uniform texture across the wall.

The house is then masked up and a coating of a latex modified render wash is applied, by hand, to the walls and allowed to dry. The wall coating teams then apply a primer coat, and then finally a top coat of a very thick exterior textured coating which, when applied over pebbledash, gives a beautiful, weatherproof finish, which will last for up to 20 years!

The coating will repel damp , mould and algae, is not expensive, and will not need to be repainted! This also comes with a 15 year insurance backed guarantee offered by the contractor.
