Can you…?
Can you render over brick?
Quick answer
Yes — brick is one of the most common surfaces to render. The brickwork is prepared and, depending on the system, a base coat with beads and mesh is applied before the finish coat. Silicone, monocouche and traditional sand & cement can all go onto suitably prepared brick.
In more detail
Rendering brick is standard work — whether you want to weatherproof a wall, cover tired or mismatched brickwork, or simply achieve a smooth modern look.
The wall is cleaned and prepared, beads are fitted to edges and openings, and a base coat is built up (with mesh for strength on thin-coat systems) before the chosen finish goes on.
