What is the best type of render?

Quick answer

There's no single best render — it depends on your wall, the look you want and your budget. Silicone thin-coat is popular for being flexible, self-cleaning and paint-free; monocouche is a tough through-coloured option; and traditional sand & cement is strong and painted afterwards.

In more detail

Silicone thin-coat render is our most popular choice for modern homes: it's through-coloured so it never needs painting, water-repellent, self-cleaning and flexible, which helps resist cracking.

Monocouche is a tough, through-coloured render applied in a single build-up, popular on new-builds. Traditional sand & cement is strong, versatile and painted afterwards, and is ideal for repairs and classic finishes.
