K Rend

Why you should be using K Rend - and some top tips

When it comes to making your house look great, there’s no better way to render it than with the use of K Rend.

K Rend is a proven, high-quality product that has been used on the outside of properties for nearly 30 years. The brand includes an extensive range of external silicone renders and finishes, designed to give a durable weatherproof coating and a natural finish.

Why render your home or business?

Rendering a building has various benefits including the following:

• Insulation - applying a render helps to insulate the inside to provide more warmth
• Protection - Walls and brickwork are protected better from damage and other elements in the outside world.
• Damp - Bricks are susceptible to water seeping through, creating damp in the brickwork and inside the building.Rendering prevents damp from reaching and penetrating the brickwork.
• Appearance - The various styles and colours of rendering means that your home or office can look amazing, whether that’s modern and stylish or a more traditional look.

Not only are there many benefits to rendering, it doesn’t need to be done very often. While rendering is expected to last 25-30 years, there are many cases in Britain where houses have not been rendered again for over 50 years.

Consider the surroundings

The style and colour for your home depends on the surroundings. If you live in a rural environment then you might opt for a colour and texture that fits in with surrounding trees and other buildings including log cabins, however, if your property is in a modern residential area or business park then a lighter, more contemporary colour might be better.

Other factors to consider include the style and design of your own property including the colour and design, for example, of window frames.

Seek opinions and advice

Rendering a house isn’t something you do regularly. As we mentioned, it’s expected to last more than 25 years so making the right decision is important. Asking family and friends what style or texture they would go for might help finding the right variation for you. Once you have personally decided what you want, don’t be afraid to ask for other people’s opinions again. You can always reject their suggestions. It’s easier than re-rendering a home because you have changed your mind!
