Traditional Sand & Cement
MJ Render stands out from the crowd, specialising in the application of sand and cement render finish. This method of rendering is a more traditional trade and requires more experience and craftmanship on the part of the tradesman. It involves site mixing our own render using quality graded sands and binders. Our use of acrylic bondcrete sealer on the brickwork ensures an even finish, adhesion and allows our render finish to have no visible mortar lines (shrinkage). In comparison, pre-mixed renders in the bag, can often shrink back and show bricklines through the finished product. Our sand and cement finish cures much harder than other renders available on the market.
Our sand and cement sponge finish is a fine sand finish compared to the course grain finish in today’s bagged renders. The fine sand finish has a more aesthetically pleasing finish than can be achieved from a pre-mix version.
All sand & cement render is applied 6-10ml and screeded flat for a professional finish in all angles of light. By comparison, pre-mixed bagged renders are designed to skim coat substrates with a thin application, commonly showing mortar lines in the finished work.
It is also important to overcoat the sand and cement render with a quality exterior membrane paint. We use Rockcote Armour membrane paint or Dulux AcraShield to topcoat the rendered finish. These products are more durable than a standard exterior paint and have been formulated with both thickness and flexibility (slight elasticity) that helps to bridge minor cracking, providing the ultimate protection for the render.
Painting Of Rendered Finishes
Most render systems require painting in order to provide a protective film to shield the render from the elements. Applying a membrane coating will seal the render, increase its longevity and reduce the risk of cracking. MJ Render use Rockcote Armour membrane paint or Dulux AcraShield to provide a weather-proofing topcoat for optimum weatherability. These products are more durable than a standard exterior paint and have been formulated with both thickness and flexibility that helps to bridge minor cracking offering greater long-term protection.
Acrylic Rendering Texture Coating
Acrylic render is a modified version of the original sand and cement. It is a premixed product which remains flexible and can absorb a small degree of movement, as it is essentially a sheath, or a coating. It can be applied over brick/blockwork, foam, Hebel and Blueboard. Acrylic render can either be painted or used as a base coat for texture. It can be applied in a range of ways, allowing you to create different finishes that can be tinted to your choice of colour. You could opt for a finish that is smooth just like concrete or one that's attractively textured.
Interior Solid Plastering
Cement rendering can also be applied internally to transform tired looking internal brick or block work walls or as a treatment for an internal renovation. It can be used either as a base coat for white set plastering or it can be painted or textured for an attractive finish.
